About This Manual<br />

This manual describes both the <strong>TI486</strong>SLC/E and <strong>TI486</strong>DLC/E product family.<br />

Each chapter except for chapters 3 and 4 cover both the <strong>TI486</strong>SLC/E and<br />

<strong>TI486</strong>DLC/E. Chapter 3 explicitly covers the <strong>TI486</strong>SLC/E and chapter 4<br />

explicitly covers the <strong>TI486</strong>DLC/E. This document contains the following<br />

chapters:<br />

Chapter 1<br />

Product Overview<br />

Chapter 1 introduces the features and itemizes the differences between the<br />

<strong>TI486</strong>SLC/E and <strong>TI486</strong>DLC/E, both of which are offered in 3-volt versions<br />

(<strong>TI486</strong>xLC/E-V) for battery-powered applications. A functional block diagram,<br />

logic symbol, and 1/0 signal pins are provided for each of the two<br />

microprocessors. Additional material describes selected system architectures<br />

such as the execution pipeline, the on-chip cache memory, and the power<br />

management techniques. The System Management Mode (SMM) permits the<br />

<strong>TI486</strong> microprocessors to respond to and service interrupts having a higher<br />

priority than standard 486 processors.<br />

Chapter 2<br />

Programming Interface<br />

Chapter 2 describes the internal operations of the T1486, for both the<br />

<strong>TI486</strong>SLC/E and <strong>TI486</strong>DLC/E, mainly from an application programmer's point<br />

of view. Included in this chapter are descriptions of processor initialization, the<br />

register set, memory addressing, various types of interrupts, and the<br />

shutdown and halt process. <strong>Al</strong>so included is an overview of real, virtual 8086,<br />

and protected operating modes.<br />

Chapter 3<br />

<strong>TI486</strong>SLC/E Bus Interface<br />

Chapter 3 provides an overview of the <strong>TI486</strong>SLC/E processor signals,<br />

functional description of all pins, functional timing and bus operations<br />

(including non-pipelined and pipelined addressing), interfaces, and power<br />

management.<br />
