ABSTRACT:
A support chip includes substantially all the AT core logic, namely most of the X-bus peripherals (except for the keyboard controller), memory controllers, and swapper. The normal AT data paths are altered to reduce the pin count, with a resulting surprising improvement in capability. The chip interfaces to the microprocessor's local address and data buses and provides a 16-bit data bus corresponding to a 16-bit version of the X-bus data portion (XD-bus). External buffers coupled to the XD-bus provide a system data bus (SD-bus) corresponding to the S-bus data portion. The I/O channel is coupled to the SD-bus while system ROM is coupled to the XD-bus. To accommodate the fact that the swapper is internal, the support chip provides independent direction control of the high and low order buffers between the XD-bus and the SD-bus.
