GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The FDC37C67x supports the ISA Plug-andPlay Standard (Version 1.0a) and provides the
recommended functionality to support Windows
'95.
The I/O Address, DMA Channel and
Hardware IRQ of each logical device in the
FDC37C67x may be reprogrammed through the
internal configuration registers. There are 480
I/O address location options, 8 parallel IRQs, an
optional Serialized IRQ interface, and three
DMA channels.
The FDC37C67x with Consumer IR and IrDA
v1.1 support incorporates a keyboard interface,
SMSC's true CMOS 765B floppy disk controller,
advanced digital data separator, two 16C550
compatible UARTs, one Multi-Mode parallel port
which includes ChiProtect circuitry plus EPP
and ECP, on-chip 24 mA AT bus drivers, two
floppy direct drive support, Intelligent power
management and SMI support. The true CMOS
765B core provides 100% compatibility with IBM
PC/XT and PC/AT architectures in addition to
providing data overflow and underflow
protection. The SMSC advanced digital data
separator incorporates SMSC's patented data
separator technology, allowing for ease of
testing and use. Both on-chip UARTs are
compatible with the NS16C550. The parallel
port is compatible with IBM PC/AT architecture,
as well as IEEE 1284 EPP and ECP. The
FDC37C67x incorporates sophisticated power
control circuitry (PCC). The PCC supports
multiple low power down modes.
The FDC37C67x does not require any external
filter components and is therefore easy to use
and offers lower system costs and reduced
board area. The FDC37C67x is software and
register compatible with SMSC's proprietary
82077AA core.

TYPE

The interrupt request is output on one of the IRQx signals as an 024 buffer type. If EPP or
ECP Mode is enabled, this output is pulsed low, then released to allow sharing of interrupts.
In this case, the buffer type is OD24. Refer to the configuration section for more
information.
For 12-bit addressing, SA0:SA11 only, nCS should be tied to GND. For 16-bit external
address qualification, address bits SA11:SA15 can be "ORed" together and applied to nCS.
The nCS pin functions as SA11 in full 16-bit Internal Address Qualification Mode. CR24.6
controls the FDC37C67x addressing modes.
The "n" as the first letter of a signal name indicates an "Active Low" signal.
KBDRST is active low.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
SUPER I/O REGISTERS
HOST PROCESSOR INTERFACE
The address map, shown below in Table 1,
shows the addresses of the different blocks of
the Super I/O immediately after power up. The
base addresses of the FDC, serial and parallel
ports can be moved via the configuration
registers. Some addresses are used to access
more than one register.
The host processor communicates with the
FDC37C67x through a series of read/write
registers. The port addresses for these registers
are shown in Table 1. Register access is
accomplished through programmed I/O or DMA
transfers. All registers are 8 bits wide. All host
interface output buffers are capable of sinking a
minimum of 12 mA.

FLOPPY DISK CONTROLLER
FDC INTERNAL REGISTERS
The Floppy Disk Controller (FDC) provides the
interface between a host microprocessor and
the floppy disk drives. The FDC integrates the
functions of the Formatter/Controller, Digital
Data Separator, Write Precompensation and
Data Rate Selection logic for an IBM XT/AT
compatible FDC. The true CMOS 765B core
guarantees 100% IBM PC XT/AT compatibility
in addition to providing data overflow and
underflow protection.
The Floppy Disk Controller contains eight
internal registers which facilitate the interfacing
between the host microprocessor and the disk
drive. Table 2 shows the addresses required to
access these registers. Registers other than the
ones shown are not supported. The rest of the
description assumes that the primary addresses
have been selected.
The FDC is compatible to the 82077AA using
SMSC's proprietary floppy disk controller core.

BIT 4 MOTOR ENABLE 0
This bit controls the MTR0 disk interface output.
A logic "1" in this bit will cause the output pin to

BIT 2 nRESET
A logic "0" written to this bit resets the Floppy

until a logic "1" is written to this bit. This
software reset does not affect the DSR and CCR
registers, nor does it affect the other bits of the

FIFO. The data is based upon the following
formula:

Address 3F5 READ/WRITE
All command parameter information, disk data
and result status are transferred between the
host processor and the floppy disk controller
through the Data Register.
Threshold # x
1
DATA RATE
x8
At the start of a command, the FIFO action is
always disabled and command parameters
must be sent based upon the RQM and DIO bit
settings. As the command execution phase is
entered, the FIFO is cleared of any data to
ensure that invalid data is not transferred.
Data transfers are governed by the RQM and
DIO bits in the Main Status Register.
The Data Register defaults to FIFO disabled
mode after any form of reset. This maintains
PC/AT hardware compatibility.
The default
values can be changed through the Configure
command (enable full FIFO operation with
threshold control). The advantage of the FIFO
is that it allows the system a larger DMA
latency without causing a disk error. Table 14
gives several examples of the delays with a
An overrun or underrun will terminate the
current command and the transfer of data. Disk
writes will complete the current sector by
generating a 00 pattern and valid CRC. Reads
require the host to remove the remaining data
so that the result phase may be entered.

RESET
DOR Reset vs. DSR Reset (Software Reset)
There are three sources of system reset on the
FDC: the RESET pin of the FDC, a reset
generated via a bit in the DOR, and a reset
generated via a bit in the DSR. At power on, a
Power On Reset initializes the FDC. All resets
take the FDC out of the power down state.
These two resets are functionally the same.
Both will reset the FDC core, which affects drive
status information and the FIFO circuits. The
DSR reset clears itself automatically while the
DOR reset requires the host to manually clear it.
DOR reset has precedence over the DSR reset.
The DOR reset is set automatically upon a pin
reset. The user must manually clear this reset
bit in the DOR to exit the reset state.
All operations are terminated upon a RESET,
and the FDC enters an idle state. A reset while
a disk write is in progress will corrupt the data
and CRC.
MODES OF OPERATION
On exiting the reset state, various internal
registers are cleared, including the Configure
command information, and the FDC waits for a
new command. Drive polling will start unless
disabled by a new Configure command.
The FDC has three modes of operation, PC/AT
mode, PS/2 mode and Model 30 mode. These
are determined by the state of the IDENT and
MFM bits 6 and 5 respectively of CRxx.
PC/AT mode - (IDENT high, MFM a "don't
care")
The PC/AT register set is enabled, the DMA
enable bit of the DOR becomes valid (FINTR
and DRQ can be hi Z), and TC and DENSEL
become active high signals.
RESET Pin (Hardware Reset)
The RESET pin is a global reset and clears all
registers except those programmed by the
Specify command.
The DOR reset bit is
enabled and must be cleared by the host to exit
the reset state.
33
PS/2 mode - (IDENT low, MFM high)
This mode supports the PS/2 models 50/60/80
configuration and register set. The DMA bit of
the DOR becomes a "don't care", (FINTR and
DRQ are always valid), TC and DENSEL
become active low.
Burst mode is enabled via Bit[1] of CRF0 in
Logical Device 0. Setting Bit[1]=0 enables burst
mode; the default is Bit[1]=1, for non-burst
mode.
Model 30 mode - (IDENT low, MFM low)
This mode supports PS/2 Model 30
configuration and register set. The DMA enable
bit of ther DOR becomes valid (FINTR and DRQ
can be hi Z), TC is active high and DENSEL is
active low.
For simplicity, command handling in the FDC
can be divided into three phases: Command,
Execution, and Result. Each phase is described
in the following sections.
DMA TRANSFERS
After a reset, the FDC enters the command
phase and is ready to accept a command from
the host. For each of the commands, a defined
set of command code bytes and parameter
bytes has to be written to the FDC before the
command phase is complete. (Please refer to
Table 19 for the command set descriptions.)
These bytes of data must be transferred in the
order prescribed.
CONTROLLER PHASES
Command Phase
DMA transfers are enabled with the Specify
command and are initiated by the FDC by
activating the FDRQ pin during a data transfer
command. The FIFO is enabled directly by
asserting nDACK and addresses need not be
valid.
Note that if the DMA controller (i.e. 8237A) is
programmed to function in verify mode, a
pseudo read is performed by the FDC based
only on nDACK. This mode is only available
when the FDC has been configured into byte
mode (FIFO disabled) and is programmed to do
a read. With the FIFO enabled, the FDC can
perform the above operation by using the new
Verify command; no DMA operation is needed.
Before writing to the FDC, the host must
examine the RQM and DIO bits of the Main
Status Register. RQM and DIO must be equal
to "1" and "0" respectively before command
bytes may be written. RQM is set false by the
FDC after each write cycle until the received
byte is processed. The FDC asserts RQM again
to request each parameter byte of the command
unless an illegal command condition is
detected.
After the last parameter byte is
received, RQM remains "0" and the FDC
automatically enters the next phase as defined
by the command definition.
The FDC37C67x supports two DMA transfer
modes for the FDC: Single Transfer and Burst
Transfer. In the case of the single transfer, the
DMA Req goes active at the start of the DMA
cycle, and the DMA Req is deasserted after the
nDACK. In the case of the burst transfer, the
Req is held active until the last transfer
(independent of nDACK). See timing diagrams
for more information.
The FIFO is disabled during the command
phase to provide for the proper handling of the
"Invalid Command" condition.
34
until the last byte is transferred out of the FIFO.
The FDC will deactivate the FINT pin and RQM
bit when the FIFO becomes empty.
Execution Phase
All data transfers to or from the FDC occur
during the execution phase, which can proceed
in DMA or non-DMA mode as indicated in the
Specify command.
Non-DMA Mode - Transfers from the Host to the
FIFO
The FINT pin and RQM bit in the Main Status
Register are activated upon entering the
execution phase of data transfer commands.
The host must respond to the request by writing
data into the FIFO. The FINT pin and RQM bit
remain true until the FIFO becomes full. They
are set true again when the FIFO has
<threshold> bytes remaining in the FIFO. The
FINT pin will also be deactivated if TC and
nDACK both go inactive. The FDC enters the
result phase after the last byte is taken by the
FDC from the FIFO (i.e. FIFO empty condition).
After a reset, the FIFO is disabled. Each data
byte is transferred by an FINT or FDRQ
depending on the DMA mode. The Configure
command can enable the FIFO and set the
FIFO threshold value.
The following paragraphs detail the operation of
the FIFO flow control. In these descriptions,
<threshold> is defined as the number of bytes
available to the FDC when service is requested
from the host and ranges from 1 to 16. The
parameter FIFOTHR, which the user programs,
is one less and ranges from 0 to 15.
DMA Mode - Transfers from the FIFO to the
Host
A low threshold value (i.e. 2) results in longer
periods of time between service requests, but
requires faster servicing of the request for both
read and write cases. The host reads (writes)
from (to) the FIFO until empty (full), then the
transfer request goes inactive. The host must
be very responsive to the service request. This
is the desired case for use with a "fast" system.
The FDC activates the DDRQ pin when the
FIFO contains (16 - <threshold>) bytes, or the
last byte of a full sector transfer has been
placed in the FIFO. The DMA controller must
respond to the request by reading data from the
FIFO. The FDC will deactivate the DDRQ pin
when the FIFO becomes empty. FDRQ goes
inactive after nDACK goes active for the last
byte of a data transfer (or on the active edge of
nIOR, on the last byte, if no edge is present on
nDACK). A data underrun may occur if FDRQ
is not removed in time to prevent an unwanted
cycle.
A high value of threshold (i.e. 12) is used with a
"sluggish" system by affording a long latency
period after a service request, but results in
more frequent service requests.
Non-DMA Mode - Transfers from the FIFO to
the Host
DMA Mode - Transfers from the Host to the
FIFO.
The FINT pin and RQM bits in the Main Status
Register are activated when the FIFO contains
(16-<threshold>) bytes or the last bytes of a full
sector have been placed in the FIFO. The FINT
pin can be used for interrupt-driven systems,
and RQM can be used for polled systems. The
host must respond to the request by reading
data from the FIFO. This process is repeated
The FDC activates the FDRQ pin when entering
the execution phase of the data transfer
commands. The DMA controller must respond
by activating the nDACK and nIOW pins and
placing data in the FIFO. FDRQ remains active
until the FIFO becomes full. FDRQ is again set

status indications can be ignored if they were
expected.
true when the FIFO has <threshold> bytes
remaining in the FIFO. The FDC will also
deactivate the FDRQ pin when TC becomes true
(qualified by nDACK), indicating that no more
data is required. FDRQ goes inactive after
nDACK goes active for the last byte of a data
transfer (or on the active edge of nIOW of the
last byte, if no edge is present on nDACK). A
data overrun may occur if FDRQ is not removed
in time to prevent an unwanted cycle.
Note that when the host is sending data to the
FIFO of the FDC, the internal sector count will
be complete when the FDC reads the last byte
from its side of the FIFO. There may be a delay
in the removal of the transfer request signal of
up to the time taken for the FDC to read the last
16 bytes from the FIFO. The host must tolerate
this delay.
Data Transfer Termination
Result Phase
The FDC supports terminal count explicitly
through the TC pin and implicitly through the
underrun/overrun and end-of-track (EOT)
functions. For full sector transfers, the EOT
parameter can define the last sector to be
transferred in a single or multi-sector transfer.
The generation of FINT determines the
beginning of the result phase. For each of the
commands, a defined set of result bytes has to
be read from the FDC before the result phase is
complete. These bytes of data must be read out
for another command to start.
If the last sector to be transferred is a partial
sector, the host can stop transferring the data in
mid-sector, and the FDC will continue to
complete the sector as if a hardware TC was
received. The only difference between these
implicit functions and TC is that they return
"abnormal termination" result status.
Such
RQM and DIO must both equal "1" before the
result bytes may be read. After all the result
bytes have been read, the RQM and DIO bits
switch to "1" and "0" respectively, and the CB bit
is cleared, indicating that the FDC is ready to
accept the next command.

Interrupt Status command which returns an
invalid command error. Refer to Table 19 for
explanations of the various symbols used. Table
20 lists the required parameters and the results
associated with each command that the FDC is
capable of performing.
Commands can be written whenever the FDC is
in the command phase. Each command has a
unique set of needed parameters and status
results. The FDC checks to see that the first
byte is a valid command and, if valid, proceeds
with the command. If it is invalid, an

DTL
Special Sector
Size
By setting N to zero (00), DTL may be used to control the number
of bytes transferred in disk read/write commands. The sector size
(N = 0) is set to 128. If the actual sector (on the diskette) is larger
than DTL, the remainder of the actual sector is read but is not
passed to the host during read commands; during write
commands, the remainder of the actual sector is written with all
zero bytes. The CRC check code is calculated with the actual
sector. When N is not zero, DTL has no meaning and should be
set to FF HEX.

MT
Multi-Track
Selector
When set, this flag selects the multi-track operating mode. In this
mode, the FDC treats a complete cylinder under head 0 and 1 as
a single track. The FDC operates as this expanded track started
at the first sector under head 0 and ended at the last sector under
head 1. With this flag set, a multitrack read or write operation will
automatically continue to the first sector under head 1 when the
FDC finishes operating on the last sector under head 0.
N
Sector Size Code
This specifies the number of bytes in a sector. If this parameter is
"00", then the sector size is 128 bytes. The number of bytes
transferred is determined by the DTL parameter. Otherwise the
sector size is (2 raised to the "N'th" power) times 128. All values
up to "07" hex are allowable. "07"h would equal a sector size of
16k. It is the user's responsibility to not select combinations that
are not possible with the drive.

Command Codes
SC is returned if the last command that was issued was the Format command. EOT is returned if the
last command was a Read or Write.
Note: These bits are used internally only. They are not reflected in the Drive Select pins. It is the
user's responsibility to maintain correspondence between these bits and the Drive Select pins (DOR).
52
N determines the number of bytes per sector
(see Table 21 below). If N is set to zero, the
sector size is set to 128. The DTL value
determines the number of bytes to be
transferred. If DTL is less than 128, the FDC
transfers the specified number of bytes to the
host. For reads, it continues to read the entire
128-byte sector and checks for CRC errors. For
writes, it completes the 128-byte sector by filling
in zeros. If N is not set to 00 Hex, DTL should
be set to FF Hex and has no impact on the
number of bytes transferred.
DATA TRANSFER COMMANDS
All of the Read Data, Write Data and Verify type
commands use the same parameter bytes and
return the same results information, the only
difference being the coding of bits 0-4 in the first
byte.
An implied seek will be executed if the feature
was enabled by the Configure command. This
seek is completely transparent to the user. The
Drive Busy bit for the drive will go active in the
Main Status Register during the seek portion of
the command. If the seek portion fails, it is
reflected in the results status normally returned
for a Read/Write Data command. Status
Register 0 (ST0) would contain the error code
and C would contain the cylinder on which the
seek failed.
Table 21 - Sector Sizes
Read Data
A set of nine (9) bytes is required to place the
FDC in the Read Data Mode. After the Read
Data command has been issued, the FDC loads
the head (if it is in the unloaded state), waits the
specified head settling time (defined in the
Specify command), and begins reading ID
Address Marks and ID fields. When the sector
address read off the diskette matches with the
sector address specified in the command, the
FDC reads the sector's data field and transfers
the data to the FIFO.

The amount of data which can be handled with
a single command to the FDC depends upon
MT (multi-track) and N (number of bytes/sector).
The Multi-Track function (MT) allows the FDC to
read data from both sides of the diskette. For a
particular cylinder, data will be transferred
starting at Sector 1, Side 0 and completing the
last sector of the same track at Side 1.
After completion of the read operation from the
current sector, the sector address is
incremented by one and the data from the next
logical sector is read and output via the FIFO.
This continuous read function is called "MultiSector Read Operation". Upon receipt of TC, or
an implied TC (FIFO overrun/underrun), the
FDC stops sending data but will continue to
read data from the current sector, check the
CRC bytes, and at the end of the sector,
terminate the Read Data Command.
If the host terminates a read or write operation
in the FDC, the ID information in the result
phase is dependent upon the state of the MT bit
and EOT byte. Refer to Table 22.
At the completion of the Read Data command,
the head is not unloaded until after the Head
Unload Time Interval (specified in the Specify
command) has elapsed. If the host issues
another command before the head unloads,
53
After reading the ID and Data Fields in each
sector, the FDC checks the CRC bytes. If a
CRC error occurs in the ID or data field, the
FDC sets the IC code in Status Register 0 to
"01" indicating abnormal termination, sets the
DE bit flag in Status Register 1 to "1", sets the
DD bit in Status Register 2 to "1" if CRC is
incorrect in the ID field, and terminates the Read
Data Command. Table 23 describes the effect
of the SK bit on the Read Data command
execution and results. Except where noted in
Table 23, the C or R value of the sector address
is automatically incremented (see Table 25).
then the head settling time may be saved
between subsequent reads.
If the FDC detects a pulse on the nINDEX pin
twice without finding the specified sector
(meaning that the diskette's index hole passes
through index detect logic in the drive twice), the
FDC sets the IC code in Status Register 0 to
"01" indicating abnormal termination, sets the
ND bit in Status Register 1 to "1" indicating a
sector not found, and terminates the Read Data
Command.

Read A Track
This command is similar to the Read Data
command except that the entire data field is
read continuously from each of the sectors of a
track. Immediately after encountering a pulse
on the nINDEX pin, the FDC starts to read all
data fields on the track as continuous blocks of
data without regard to logical sector numbers. If
the FDC finds an error in the ID or DATA CRC
check bytes, it continues to read data from the
track and sets the appropriate error bits at the
end of the command. The FDC compares the
ID information read from each sector with the
specified value in the command and sets
This command terminates when the EOT
specified number of sectors has not been read.
If the FDC does not find an ID Address Mark on
the diskette after the second occurrence of a
pulse on the IDX pin, then it sets the IC code in

termination), sets the MA bit in Status Register
1 to "1", and terminates the command.

Write Data
After the Write Data command has been issued,
the FDC loads the head (if it is in the unloaded
state), waits the specified head load time if
unloaded (defined in the Specify command),
and begins reading ID fields. When the sector
address read from the diskette matches the
sector address specified in the command, the
FDC reads the data from the host via the FIFO
and writes it to the sector's data field.
The Write Data command operates in much the
same manner as the Read Data command. The
following items are the same. Please refer to the
Read Data Command for details:
•
•
•
•
•
After writing data into the current sector, the
FDC computes the CRC value and writes it into
the CRC field at the end of the sector transfer.
The Sector Number stored in "R" is incremented
by one, and the FDC continues writing to the
next data field. The FDC continues this "MultiSector Write Operation". Upon receipt of a
terminal count signal or if a FIFO over/under run
occurs while a data field is being written, then
the remainder of the data field is filled with
zeros. The FDC reads the ID field of each
sector and checks the CRC bytes. If it detects
a CRC error in ne of the ID fields, it sets the

verify 256 sectors). This command can also be
terminated by setting the EC bit to "0" and the
EOT value equal to the final sector to be
checked. If EC is set to "0", DTL/SC should be
programmed to 0FFH. Refer to Table 25 and
Table 26 for information concerning the values
of MT and EC versus SC and EOT value.
Verify
The Verify command is used to verify the data
stored on a disk. This command acts exactly
like a Read Data command except that no data
is transferred to the host. Data is read from the
disk and CRC is computed and checked against
the previously-stored value.
Definitions:
Because data is not transferred to the host, TC
(pin 89) cannot be used to terminate this
command. By setting the EC bit to "1", an
implicit TC will be issued to the FDC. This
implicit TC will occur when the SC value has
decremented to 0 (an SC value of 0 will

After formatting each sector, the host must send
new values for C, H, R and N to the FDC for the
next sector on the track. The R value (sector
number) is the only value that must be changed
by the host after each sector is formatted. This
allows the disk to be formatted with
nonsequential sector addresses (interleaving).
This incrementing and formatting continues for
the whole track until the FDC encounters a pulse
on the IDX pin again and it terminates the
command.
Format A Track
The Format command allows an entire track to
be formatted. After a pulse from the IDX pin is
detected, the FDC starts writing data on the disk
including gaps, address marks, ID fields, and
data fields per the IBM System 34 or 3740
format (MFM or FM respectively). The particular
values that will be written to the gap and data
field are controlled by the values programmed
into N, SC, GPL, and D which are specified by
the host during the command phase. The data
field of the sector is filled with the data byte
specified by D. The ID field for each sector is
supplied by the host; that is, four data bytes per
sector are needed by the FDC for C, H, R, and
N (cylinder, head, sector number and sector size
respectively).
Table 27 contains typical values for gap fields
which are dependent upon the size of the sector
and the number of sectors on each track.
Actual values can vary due to drive electronics.

command to return the head back to physical
Track 0.
CONTROL COMMANDS
Control commands differ from the other
commands in that no data transfer takes place.
Three commands generate an interrupt when
complete: Read ID, Recalibrate, and Seek. The
other control commands do not generate an
interrupt.
The Recalibrate command does not have a
result phase.
The Sense Interrupt Status
command must be issued after the Recalibrate
command to effectively terminate it and to
provide verification of the head position (PCN).
During the command phase of the recalibrate
operation, the FDC is in the BUSY state, but
during the execution phase it is in a NON-BUSY
state.
At this time, another Recalibrate
command may be issued, and in this manner
parallel Recalibrate operations may be done on
up to four drives at once.
Read ID
The Read ID command is used to find the
present position of the recording heads. The
FDC stores the values from the first ID field it is
able to read into its registers. If the FDC does
not find an ID address mark on the diskette after
the second occurrence of a pulse on the
nINDEX pin, it then sets the IC code in Status
Register 0 to "01" (abnormal termination), sets
the MA bit in Status Register 1 to "1", and
terminates the command.
Upon power up, the software must issue a
Recalibrate command to properly initialize all
drives and the controller.
Seek
The read/write head within the drive is moved
from track to track under the control of the Seek
command. The FDC compares the PCN, which
is the current head position, with the NCN and
performs the following operation if there is a
difference:
The following commands will generate an
interrupt upon completion. They do not return
any result bytes. It is highly recommended that
control commands be followed by the Sense
Interrupt Status command. Otherwise, valuable
interrupt status information will be lost.
PCN < NCN: Direction signal to drive set to
"1" (step in) and issues step pulses.
PCN > NCN: Direction signal to drive set to
"0" (step out) and issues step pulses.
Recalibrate
This command causes the read/write head
within the FDC to retract to the track 0 position.
The FDC clears the contents of the PCN
counter and checks the status of the nTR0 pin
from the FDD. As long as the nTR0 pin is low,
the DIR pin remains 0 and step pulses are
issued. When the nTR0 pin goes high, the SE
bit in Status Register 0 is set to "1" and the
command is terminated. If the nTR0 pin is still
low after 79 step pulses have been issued, the
FDC sets the SE and the EC bits of Status
Register 0 to "1" and terminates the command.
Disks capable of handling more than 80 tracks
per side may require more than one Recalibrate
The rate at which step pulses are issued is
controlled by SRT (Stepping Rate Time) in the
Specify command. After each step pulse is
issued, NCN is compared against PCN, and
when NCN = PCN the SE bit in Status Register
0 is set to "1" and the command is terminated.
During the command phase of the seek or
recalibrate operation, the FDC is in the BUSY
state, but during the execution phase it is in the

Note that if implied seek is not enabled, the read

The Sense Interrupt Status command resets the
interrupt signal and, via the IC code and SE bit
of Status Register 0, identifies the cause of the
interrupt.
The Seek command does not have a result
phase. Therefore, it is highly recommended that
the Sense Interrupt Status command be issued
after the Seek command to terminate it and to
provide verification of the head position (PCN).
The H bit (Head Address) in ST0 will always
return to a "0". When exiting POWERDOWN
mode, the FDC clears the PCN value and the
status information to zero. Prior to issuing the
POWERDOWN command, it is highly
recommended that the user service all pending
interrupts through the Sense Interrupt Status
command.

Sense Interrupt Status
The Seek, Relative Seek, and Recalibrate
commands have no result phase. The Sense
Interrupt Status command must be issued
immediately after these commands to terminate
them and to provide verification of the head
position (PCN). The H (Head Address) bit in
ST0 will always return a "0". If a Sense Interrupt
Status is not issued, the drive will continue to be
BUSY and may affect the operation of the next
command.
An interrupt signal on FINT pin is generated by
the FDC for one of the following reasons:
1. Upon entering the Result Phase of:
a. Read Data command
b. Read A Track command
c. Read ID command

read/write commands to the head unload state.
The SRT (Step Rate Time) defines the time
interval between adjacent step pulses. Note that
the spacing between the first and second step
pulses may be shorter than the remaining step
pulses. The HLT (Head Load Time) defines the
time between when the Head Load signal goes
high and the read/write operation starts. The
values change with the data rate speed
selection and are documented in Table 29. The
values are the same for MFM and FM.
Sense Drive Status
Sense Drive Status obtains drive status
information. It has not execution phase and
goes directly to the result phase from the
command phase. Status Register 3 contains
the drive status information.
Specify
The Specify command sets the initial values for
each of the three internal times. The HUT

The choice of DMA or non-DMA operations is
made by the ND bit. When this bit is "1", the
non-DMA mode is selected, and when ND is "0",
the DMA mode is selected. In DMA mode, data
transfers are signalled by the FDRQ pin. NonDMA mode uses the RQM bit and the FINT pin
to signal data transfers.
Configure
The Configure command is issued to select the
special features of the FDC.
A Configure
command need not be issued if the default
values of the FDC meet the system
requirements.

Configure Default Values:
Relative Seek
EIS - No Implied Seeks
EFIFO - FIFO Disabled
POLL - Polling Enabled
FIFOTHR - FIFO Threshold Set to 1 Byte
PRETRK - Pre-Compensation Set to Track 0
The command is coded the same as for Seek,
except for the MSB of the first byte and the DIR
bit.
DIR
EIS - Enable Implied Seek. When set to "1", the
FDC will perform a Seek operation before
executing a read or write command. Defaults to
no implied seek.
Head Step Direction Control
DIR

EFIFO - A "1" disables the FIFO (default). This
means data transfers are asked for on a byteby-byte basis. Defaults to "1", FIFO disabled.
The threshold defaults to "1".
RCN
POLL - Disable polling of the drives. Defaults to
"0", polling enabled. When enabled, a single
interrupt is generated after a reset. No polling is
performed while the drive head is loaded and
the head unload delay has not expired.

Cylinder
Number
that
determines how many tracks to step the
head in or out from the current track
number.
The Relative Seek command differs from the
Seek command in that it steps the head the
absolute number of tracks specified in the
command instead of making a comparison
against an internal register.
The Seek
command is good for drives that support a
maximum of 256 tracks. Relative Seeks cannot
be overlapped with other Relative Seeks. Only
one Relative Seek can be active at a time.
Relative Seeks may be overlapped with Seeks
and Recalibrates. Bit 4 of Status Register 0
(EC) will be set if Relative Seek attempts to step
outward beyond Track 0.
FIFOTHR - The FIFO threshold in the execution
phase of read or write commands. This is
programmable from 1 to 16 bytes. Defaults to
one byte. A "00" selects one byte; "0F" selects
16 bytes.
PRETRK - Pre-Compensation Start Track
Number. Programmable from track 0 to 255.
Defaults to track 0. A "00" selects track 0; "FF"
selects track 255.
As an example, assume that a floppy drive has
300 useable tracks. The host needs to read
track 300 and the head is on any track (0-255).
If a Seek command is issued, the head will stop
at track 255. If a Relative Seek command is
issued, the FDC will move the head the
specified number of tracks, regardless of the
internal cylinder position register (but will
increment the register). If the head was on track
40 (d), the maximum track that the FDC could
position the head on using Relative Seek will be
295 (D), the initial track + 255 (D). The
maximum count that the head can be moved

The Version command checks to see if the
controller is an enhanced type or the older type

with a single Relative Seek command is 255
(D).
Perpendicular Mode
The Perpendicular Mode command should be
issued prior to executing Read/Write/Format
commands that access a disk drive with
perpendicular recording capability. With this
command, the length of the Gap2 field and VCO
enable timing can be altered to accommodate
the unique requirements of these drives. Table
30 describes the effects of the WGATE and
GAP bits for the Perpendicular Mode command.
Upon a reset, the FDC will default to the
conventional mode (WGATE = 0, GAP = 0).
The internal register, PCN, will overflow as the
cylinder number crosses track 255 and will
contain 39 (D). The resulting PCN value is thus
(RCN + PCN) mod 256. Functionally, the FDC
starts counting from 0 again as the track
number goes above 255 (D). It is the user's
responsibility to compensate FDC functions
(precompensation
track
number)
when
accessing tracks greater than 255. The FDC
does not keep track that it is working in an
"extended track area" (greater than 255). Any
command issued will use the current PCN value
except for the Recalibrate command, which only
looks for the TRACK0 signal. Recalibrate will
return an error if the head is farther than 79 due
to its limitation of issuing a maximum of 80 step
pulses. The user simply needs to issue a second
Recalibrate command. The Seek command and
implied seeks will function correctly within the
44 (D) track (299-255) area of the "extended
track area". It is the user's responsibility not to
issue a new track position that will exceed the
maximum track that is present in the extended
area.
Selection of the 500 Kbps and 1 Mbps
perpendicular modes is independent of the
actual data rate selected in the Data Rate Select
Register. The user must ensure that these two
data rates remain consistent.
The Gap2 and VCO timing requirements for
perpendicular recording type drives are dictated
by the design of the read/write head. In the
design of this head, a pre-erase head precedes
the normal read/write head by a distance of 200
micrometers. This works out to about 38 bytes
at a 1 Mbps recording density. Whenever the
write head is enabled by the Write Gate signal,
the pre-erase head is also activated at the same
time. Thus, when the write head is initially
turned on, flux transitions recorded on the media
for the first 38 bytes will not be preconditioned
with the pre-erase head since it has not yet been
activated. To accommodate this head activation
and deactivation time, the Gap2 field is
expanded to a length of 41 bytes. The format
field shown on Page 57 illustrates the change in
the Gap2 field size for the perpendicular format.
To return to the standard floppy range (0-255) of
tracks, a Relative Seek should be issued to
cross the track 255 boundary.
A Relative Seek can be used instead of the
normal Seek, but the host is required to
calculate the difference between the current
head location and the new (target) head
location. This may require the host to issue a
Read ID command to ensure that the head is
physically on the track that software assumes it
to be. Different FDC commands will return
different cylinder results which may be difficult
to keep track of with software without the Read
ID command.
64
designated Perpendicular recording drives. This
enhancement allows data transfers between
Conventional and Perpendicular drives without
having to issue Perpendicular mode commnds
between the accesses of the different drive
types, nor having to change write precompensation values.
On the read back by the FDC, the controller
must begin synchronization at the beginning of
the sync field. For the conventional mode, the
internal PLL VCO is enabled (VCOEN)
approximately 24 bytes from the start of the
Gap2 field. But, when the controller operates in
the 1 Mbps perpendicular mode (WGATE = 1,
GAP = 1), VCOEN goes active after 43 bytes to
accommodate the increased Gap2 field size.
For both cases, and approximate two-byte
cushion is maintained from the beginning of the
sync field for the purposes of avoiding write
splices in the presence of motor speed variation.
When both GAP and WGATE bits of the
PERPENDICULAR MODE COMMAND are both
programmed to "0" (Conventional mode), then
D0, D1, D2, D3, and D4 can be programmed
independently to "1" for that drive to be set
automatically to Perpendicular mode. In this
mode the following set of conditions also apply:
1. The GAP2 written to a perpendicular drive
during a write operation will depend upon the
programmed data rate.
2. The write pre-compensation given to a
perpendicular mode drive will be 0ns.
3. For D0-D3 programmed to "0" for
conventional mode drives any data written
will be at the currently programmed write
pre-compensation.
For the Write Data case, the FDC activates
Write Gate at the beginning of the sync field
under the conventional mode. The controller
then writes a new sync field, data address mark,
data field, and CRC as shown on page 57. With
the pre-erase head of the perpendicular drive,
the write head must be activated in the Gap2
field to insure a proper write of the new sync
field. For the 1 Mbps perpendicular mode
(WGATE = 1, GAP = 1), 38 bytes will be written
in the Gap2 space. Since the bit density is
proportional to the data rate, 19 bytes will be
written in the Gap2 field for the 500 Kbps
perpendicular mode (WGATE = 1, GAP =0).
Note: Bits D0-D3 can only be overwritten when
OW is programmed as a "1".If either
GAP or WGATE is a "1" then D0-D3 are
ignored.
It should be noted that none of the alterations in
Gap2 size, VCO timing, or Write Gate timing
affect normal program flow. The information
provided here is just for background purposes
and is not needed for normal operation. Once
the Perpendicular Mode command is invoked,
FDC software behavior from the user standpoint
is unchanged.
Software and hardware resets have the
following effect on the PERPENDICULAR
MODE COMMAND:
1. "Software" resets (via the DOR or DSR
registers) will only clear GAP and WGATE
bits to "0". D0-D3 are unaffected and retain
their previous value.
2. "Hardware" resets will clear all bits
(GAP, WGATE and D0-D3) to "0", i.e all
conventional mode.

LOCK
ENHANCED DUMPREG
In order to protect systems with long DMA
latencies against older application software that
can disable the FIFO the LOCK Command has
been added. This command should only be
used by the FDC routines, and application
software should refrain from using it. If an
application calls for the FIFO to be disabled
then the CONFIGURE command should be
used.
The DUMPREG command is designed to
support system run-time diagnostics and
application software development and debug.
To accommodate the LOCK command and the
enhanced PERPENDICULAR MODE command
the eighth byte of the DUMPREG command has
been modified to contain the additional data
from these two commands.
COMPATIBILITY
The LOCK command defines whether the
EFIFO, FIFOTHR, and PRETRK parameters of
the CONFIGURE command can be RESET by
the DOR and DSR registers. When the LOCK
bit is set to logic "1" all subsequent "software
RESETS by the DOR and DSR registers will not
change the previously set parameters to their
default values. All "hardware" RESET from the
RESET pin will set the LOCK bit to logic "0" and
return the EFIFO, FIFOTHR, and PRETRK to
their default values. A status byte is returned
immediately after issuing a a LOCK command.
This byte reflects the value of the LOCK bit set
by the command byte.
The FDC37C67x was designed with software
compatibility in mind. It is a fully backwardscompatible solution with the older generation
765A/B disk controllers. The FDC also
implements on-board registers for compatibility
with the PS/2, as well as PC/AT and PC/XT,
floppy disk controller subsystems. After a
hardware reset of the FDC, all registers,
functions and enhancements default to a PC/AT,
PS/2 or PS/2 Model 30 compatible operating
mode, depending on how the IDENT and MFM
bits are configured by the system BIOS.

SERIAL PORT (UART)
"1". OUT2 being a logic "0" disables that
UART's interrupt.
The second UART also
supports IrDA, HP-SIR, ASK-IR, Fast IR and
Consumer IR infrared modes of operation.
The FDC37C67x incorporates two full function
UARTs.
They are compatible with the
NS16450, the 16450 ACE registers and the
NS16550A.
The UARTS perform serial-toparallel conversion on received characters and
parallel-to-serial
conversion
on
transmit
characters. The data rates are independently
programmable from 460.8K baud down to 50
baud. The character options are programmable
for 1 start; 1, 1.5 or 2 stop bits; even, odd, sticky
or no parity; and prioritized interrupts. The
UARTs each contain a programmable baud rate
generator that is capable of dividing the input
clock or crystal by a number from 1 to 65535.
The UARTs are also capable of supporting the
MIDI data rate. Refer to the Configuration
Registers for information on disabling, power
down and changing the base address of the
UARTs. The interrupt from a UART is enabled
by programming OUT2 of that UART to a logic
Note: The UARTs may be configured to share
an interrupt. Refer to the Configuration section
for more information.
REGISTER DESCRIPTION
Addressing of the accessible registers of the
Serial Port is shown below.
The base
addresses of the serial ports are defined by the
configuration registers (see Configuration
section). The Serial Port registers are located at
sequentially increasing addresses above these
base addresses. The FDC37C67x contains two
serial ports, each of which contain a register set
as described below.

The following section describes the operation of
the registers.
Bit 0
This bit enables the Received Data Available
Interrupt (and timeout interrupts in the FIFO
mode) when set to logic "1".
Bit 1
This bit enables the Transmitter Holding
Register Empty Interrupt when set to logic "1".
Bit 2
This bit enables the Received Line Status
Interrupt when set to logic "1". The error
sources causing the interrupt are Overrun,
Parity, Framing and Break. The Line Status
Register must be read to determine the source.
Bit 3
This bit enables the MODEM Status Interrupt
when set to logic "1". This is caused when one
of the Modem Status Register bits changes
state.
Bits 4 through 7
These bits are always logic "0".
RECEIVE BUFFER REGISTER (RB)
Address Offset = 0H, DLAB = 0, READ ONLY
This register holds the received incoming data
byte. Bit 0 is the least significant bit, which is
transmitted and received first. Received data is
double buffered; this uses an additional shift
register to receive the serial data stream and
convert it to a parallel 8 bit word which is
transferred to the Receive Buffer register. The
shift register is not accessible.
TRANSMIT BUFFER REGISTER (TB)
Address Offset = 0H, DLAB = 0, WRITE ONLY
This register contains the data byte to be
transmitted.
The transmit buffer is double
buffered, utilizing an additional shift register (not
accessible) to convert the 8 bit data word to a
serial format. This shift register is loaded from
the Transmit Buffer when the transmission of
the previous byte is complete.
FIFO CONTROL REGISTER (FCR)
Address Offset = 2H, DLAB = X, WRITE
This is a write only register at the same location
as the IIR. This register is used to enable and
clear the FIFOs, set the RCVR FIFO trigger
level. Note: DMA is not supported. The UART1
and UART2 FCR’s are shadowed in the UART1
FIFO Control Shadow Register (LD8:CRC3[7:0])
and UART2 FIFO Control Shadow Register
(LD8:CRC4[7:0]).
INTERRUPT ENABLE REGISTER (IER)
Address Offset = 1H, DLAB = 0, READ/WRITE
The lower four bits of this register control the
enables of the five interrupt sources of the Serial
Port interrupt. It is possible to totally disable the
interrupt system by resetting bits 0 through 3 of
this register. Similarly, setting the appropriate
bits of this register to a high, selected interrupts
can be enabled. Disabling the interrupt system
inhibits the Interrupt Identification Register and
disables any Serial Port interrupt out of the
FDC37C67x. All other system functions operate
in their normal manner, including the Line
Status and MODEM Status Registers. The
contents of the Interrupt Enable Register are
described below.
Bit 0
Setting this bit to a logic "1" enables both the
XMIT and RCVR FIFOs. Clearing this bit to a
logic "0" disables both the XMIT and RCVR
FIFOs and clears all bytes from both FIFOs.
When changing from FIFO Mode to non-FIFO
(16450) mode, data is automatically cleared
from the FIFOs. This bit must be a 1 when
other bits in this register are written to or they
will not be properly programmed.
68
3.
4.
Bit 1
Setting this bit to a logic "1" clears all bytes in
the RCVR FIFO and resets its counter logic to 0.
The shift register is not cleared. This bit is selfclearing.
Information indicating that a prioritized interrupt
is pending and the source of that interrupt is
stored in the Interrupt Identification Register
(refer to Interrupt Control Table). When the CPU
accesses the IIR, the Serial Port freezes all
interrupts and indicates the highest priority
pending interrupt to the CPU. During this CPU
access, even if the Serial Port records new
interrupts, the current indication does not
change until access is completed. The contents
of the IIR are described below.
Bit 2
Setting this bit to a logic "1" clears all bytes in
the XMIT FIFO and resets its counter logic to 0.
The shift register is not cleared. This bit is selfclearing.
Bit 3
Writting to this bit has no effect on the operation
of the UART. The RXRDY and TXRDY pins are
not available on this chip.
Bit 4,5
Reserved
Bit 6,7
These bits are used to set the trigger level for
the RCVR FIFO interrupt.
Bit 7 Bit 6
Bit 0
This bit can be used in either a hardwired
prioritized or polled environment to indicate
whether an interrupt is pending. When bit 0 is a
logic "0", an interrupt is pending and the
contents of the IIR may be used as a pointer to
the appropriate internal service routine. When
bit 0 is a logic "1", no interrupt is pending.

MODEM CONTROL REGISTER (MCR)
Address Offset = 4H, DLAB = X, READ/WRITE
This 8 bit register controls the interface with the
MODEM or data set (or device emulating a
MODEM). The contents of the MODEM control
register are described below.
Bit 0
This bit controls the Data Terminal Ready
(nDTR) output. When bit 0 is set to a logic "1",
the nDTR output is forced to a logic "0". When
bit 0 is a logic "0", the nDTR output is forced to
a logic "1".
Note: The receiver will ignore all stop bits
beyond the first, regardless of the number used
in transmitting.
Bit 3
Parity Enable bit. When bit 3 is a logic "1", a
parity bit is generated (transmit data) or
checked (receive data) between the last data
word bit and the first stop bit of the serial data.
(The parity bit is used to generate an even or
71
operational but the interrupts' sources are now
the lower four bits of the MODEM Control
Register instead of the MODEM Control inputs.
The interrupts are still controlled by the Interrupt
Enable Register.
Bits 5 through 7
These bits are permanently set to logic zero.
Bit 1
This bit controls the Request To Send (nRTS)
output. Bit 1 affects the nRTS output in a
manner identical to that described above for bit
0.
Bit 2
This bit controls the Output 1 (OUT1) bit. This
bit does not have an output pin and can only be
read or written by the CPU.
Bit 3
Output 2 (OUT2). This bit is used to enable an
UART interrupt. When OUT2 is a logic "0", the
serial port interrupt output is forced to a high
impedance state - disabled. When OUT2 is a
logic "1", the serial port interrupt outputs are
enabled.
Bit 4
This bit provides the loopback feature for
diagnostic testing of the Serial Port. When bit 4
is set to logic "1", the following occur:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
LINE STATUS REGISTER (LSR)
Address Offset = 5H, DLAB = X, READ/WRITE
Bit 0
Data Ready (DR). It is set to a logic "1"
whenever a complete incoming character has
been received and transferred into the Receiver
Buffer Register or the FIFO. Bit 0 is reset to a
logic "0" by reading all of the data in the Receive
Buffer Register or the FIFO.
Bit 1
Overrun Error (OE). Bit 1 indicates that data in
the Receiver Buffer Register was not read before
the next character was transferred into the
register, thereby destroying the previous
character. In FIFO mode, an overrunn error will
occur only when the FIFO is full and the next
character has been completely received in the
shift register, the character in the shift register is
overwritten but not transferred to the FIFO. The
OE indicator is set to a logic "1" immediately
upon detection of an overrun condition, and
reset whenever the Line Status Register is read.
Bit 2
Parity Error (PE). Bit 2 indicates that the
received data character does not have the
correct even or odd parity, as selected by the
even parity select bit. The PE is set to a logic
"1" upon detection of a parity error and is
reset to a logic "0" whenever the Line Status
Register is read. In the FIFO mode this error is
associated with the particular character in the
FIFO it applies to. This error is indicated when
the associated character is at the top of the
FIFO.
The TXD is set to the Marking State(logic
"1").
The receiver Serial Input (RXD) is
disconnected.
The output of the Transmitter Shift
Register is "looped back" into the Receiver
Shift Register input.
All MODEM Control inputs (nCTS, nDSR,
nRI and nDCD) are disconnected.
The four MODEM Control outputs (nDTR,
nRTS, OUT1 and OUT2) are internally
connected to the four MODEM Control
inputs (nDSR, nCTS, RI, DCD).
The Modem Control output pins are forced
inactive high.
Data that is transmitted is immediately
received.
This feature allows the processor to verify the
transmit and receive data paths of the Serial
Port. In the diagnostic mode, the receiver and
the transmitter interrupts are fully operational.
The MODEM Control Interrupts are also
72
transferred from the Transmitter Holding
Register into the Transmitter Shift Register. The
bit is reset to logic "0" whenever the CPU loads
the Transmitter Holding Register. In the FIFO
mode this bit is set when the XMIT FIFO is
empty, it is cleared when at least 1 byte is
written to the XMIT FIFO. Bit 5 is a read only
bit.
Bit 6
Transmitter Empty (TEMT). Bit 6 is set to a
logic "1" whenever the Transmitter Holding
Register (THR) and Transmitter Shift Register
(TSR) are both empty. It is reset to logic "0"
whenever either the THR or TSR contains a data
character. Bit 6 is a read only bit. In the FIFO
mode this bit is set whenever the THR and TSR
are both empty,
Bit 7
This bit is permanently set to logic "0" in the 450
mode. In the FIFO mode, this bit is set to a
logic "1" when there is at least one parity error,
framing error or break indication in the FIFO.
This bit is cleared when the LSR is read if there
are no subsequent errors in the FIFO.
Bit 3
Framing Error (FE). Bit 3 indicates that the
received character did not have a valid stop bit.
Bit 3 is set to a logic "1" whenever the stop bit
following the last data bit or parity bit is detected
as a zero bit (Spacing level). The FE is reset to
a logic "0" whenever the Line Status Register is
read. In the FIFO mode this error is associated
with the particular character in the FIFO it
applies to. This error is indicated when the
associated character is at the top of the FIFO.
The Serial Port will try to resynchronize after a
framing error. To do this, it assumes that the
framing error was due to the next start bit, so it
samples this 'start' bit twice and then takes in
the 'data'.
Bit 4
Break Interrupt (BI). Bit 4 is set to a logic "1"
whenever the received data input is held in the
Spacing state (logic "0") for longer than a full
word transmission time (that is, the total time of
the start bit + data bits + parity bits + stop bits).
The BI is reset after the CPU reads the contents
of the Line Status Register. In the FIFO mode
this error is associated with the particular
character in the FIFO it applies to. This error is
indicated when the associated character is at
the top of the FIFO. When break occurs only
one zero character is loaded into the FIFO.
Restarting after a break is received, requires the
serial data (RXD) to be logic "1" for at least 1/2
bit time.
MODEM STATUS REGISTER (MSR)
Address Offset = 6H, DLAB = X, READ/WRITE
This 8 bit register provides the current state of
the control lines from the MODEM (or peripheral
device).
In addition to this current state
information, four bits of the MODEM Status
Register (MSR) provide change information.
These bits are set to logic "1" whenever a
control input from the MODEM changes state.
They are reset to logic "0" whenever the
MODEM Status Register is read.
Bit 0
Delta Clear To Send (DCTS). Bit 0 indicates
that the nCTS input to the chip has changed
state since the last time the MSR was read.
Bit 1
Delta Data Set Ready (DDSR). Bit 1 indicates
that the nDSR input has changed state since the
last time the MSR was read.
Note: Bits 1 through 4 are the error conditions
that produce a Receiver Line Status Interrupt
whenever any of the corresponding conditions
are detected and the interrupt is enabled.
Bit 5
Transmitter Holding Register Empty (THRE).
Bit 5 indicates that the Serial Port is ready to
accept a new character for transmission. In
addition, this bit causes the Serial Port to issue
an interrupt when the Transmitter Holding
Register interrupt enable is set high. The THRE
bit is set to a logic "1" when a character is
73
SCRATCHPAD REGISTER (SCR)
Address Offset =7H, DLAB =X, READ/WRITE
This 8 bit read/write register has no effect on the
operation of the Serial Port. It is intended as a
scratchpad register to be used by the
programmer to hold data temporarily.
Bit 2
Trailing Edge of Ring Indicator (TERI). Bit 2
indicates that the nRI input has changed from
logic "0" to logic "1".
Bit 3
Delta Data Carrier Detect (DDCD).
Bit 3
indicates that the nDCD input to the chip has
changed state.
PROGRAMMABLE BAUD RATE GENERATOR
(AND DIVISOR LATCHES DLH, DLL)
The Serial Port contains a programmable Baud
Rate Generator that is capable of taking any
clock input (DC to 3 MHz) and dividing it by any
divisor from 1 to 65535. This output frequency
of the Baud Rate Generator is 16x the Baud
rate. Two 8 bit latches store the divisor in 16 bit
binary format. These Divisor Latches must be
loaded during initialization in order to insure
desired operation of the Baud Rate Generator.
Upon loading either of the Divisor Latches, a 16
bit Baud counter is immediately loaded. This
prevents long counts on initial load. If a 0 is
loaded into the BRG registers the output divides
the clock by the number 3. If a 1 is loaded the
output is the inverse of the input oscillator. If a
two is loaded the output is a divide by 2 signal
with a 50% duty cycle. If a 3 or greater is
loaded the output is low for 2 bits and high for
the remainder of the count. The input clock to
the BRG is a 1.8462 MHz clock.
Note: Whenever bit 0, 1, 2, or 3 is set to a logic
"1", a MODEM Status Interrupt is generated.
Bit 4
This bit is the complement of the Clear To Send
(nCTS) input. If bit 4 of the MCR is set to logic
"1", this bit is equivalent to nRTS in the MCR.
Bit 5
This bit is the complement of the Data Set
Ready (nDSR) input. If bit 4 of the MCR is set
to logic "1", this bit is equivalent to DTR in the
MCR.
Bit 6
This bit is the complement of the Ring Indicator
(nRI) input. If bit 4 of the MCR is set to logic
"1", this bit is equivalent to OUT1 in the MCR.
Bit 7
This bit is the complement of the Data Carrier
Detect (nDCD) input. If bit 4 of the MCR is set
to logic "1", this bit is equivalent to OUT2 in the
MCR.
Table 33 shows the baud rates possible with a
1.8462 MHz crystal.
Effect Of The Reset on Register File
The Reset Function Table (Table 34) details the
effect of the Reset input on each of the registers
of the Serial Port.
74
B. Character times are calculated by using the
RCLK input for a clock signal (this makes
the delay proportional to the baudrate).
FIFO INTERRUPT MODE OPERATION
When the RCVR FIFO and receiver interrupts
are enabled (FCR bit 0 = "1", IER bit 0 = "1"),
RCVR interrupts occur as follows:
A. The receive data available interrupt will
issued when the FIFO has reached
programmed trigger level; it is cleared
soon as the FIFO drops below
programmed trigger level.
C. When a timeout interrupt has occurred it is
cleared and the timer reset when the CPU
reads one character from the RCVR FIFO.
be
its
as
its
D. When a timeout interrupt has not occurred
the timeout timer is reset after a new
character is received or after the CPU reads
the RCVR FIFO.
B. The IIR receive data available indication also
occurs when the FIFO trigger level is
reached. It is cleared when the FIFO drops
below the trigger level.
When the XMIT FIFO and transmitter interrupts
are enabled (FCR bit 0 = "1", IER bit 1 = "1"),
XMIT interrupts occur as follows:
A. The transmitter holding register interrupt
(02H) occurs when the XMIT FIFO is empty;
it is cleared as soon as the transmitter
holding register is written to (1 of 16
characters may be written to the XMIT FIFO
while servicing this interrupt) or the IIR is
read.
C. The receiver line status interrupt (IIR=06H),
has higher priority than the received data
available (IIR=04H) interrupt.
D. The data ready bit (LSR bit 0)is set as soon
as a character is transferred from the shift
register to the RCVR FIFO. It is reset when
the FIFO is empty.
B. The transmitter FIFO empty indications will
be delayed 1 character time minus the last
stop bit time whenever the following occurs:
THRE=1 and there have not been at least
two bytes at the same time in the transmitter
FIFO since the last THRE=1. The transmitter
interrupt after changing FCR0 will be
immediate, if it is enabled.
When RCVR FIFO and receiver interrupts are
enabled, RCVR FIFO timeout interrupts occur
as follows:
A.
-
-
A FIFO timeout interrupt occurs if all the
following conditions exist:
At least one character is in the FIFO.
The most recent serial character received
was longer than 4 continuous character
times ago. (If 2 stop bits are programmed,
the second one is included in this time
delay).
The most recent CPU read of the FIFO was
longer than 4 continuous character times
ago.
Character timeout and RCVR FIFO trigger level
interrupts have the same priority as the current
received data available interrupt; XMIT FIFO
empty has the same priority as the current
transmitter holding register empty interrupt.
This will cause a maximum character received
to interrupt issued delay of 160 msec at 300
BAUD with a 12 bit character.
75
the same way as when in the interrupt
mode, the IIR is not affected since EIR bit
2=0.
-Bit 5 indicates when the XMIT FIFO is empty.
-Bit 6 indicates that both the XMIT FIFO and
shift register are empty.
-Bit 7 indicates whether there are any errors in
the RCVR FIFO.
FIFO POLLED MODE OPERATION
With FCR bit 0 = "1" resetting IER bits 0, 1, 2 or
3 or all to zero puts the UART in the FIFO
Polled Mode of operation. Since the RCVR and
XMITTER are controlled separately, either one
or both can be in the polled mode of operation.
In this mode, the user's program will check
RCVR and XMITTER status via the LSR. LSR
definitions for the FIFO Polled Mode are as
follows:
There is no trigger level reached or timeout
condition indicated in the FIFO Polled Mode,
however, the RCVR and XMIT FIFOs are still
fully capable of holding characters.
-Bit 0=1 as long as there is one byte in the
RCVR FIFO.
-Bits 1 to 4 specify which error(s) have occurred.
Character error status is handled

until at least two bytes have the Tx FIFO
empties after this condition, the Tx been
loaded into the FIFO, concurrently. When
interrupt will be activated without a one
character delay.
NOTES ON SERIAL PORT OPERATION
FIFO MODE OPERATION:
GENERAL
The RCVR FIFO will hold up to 16 bytes
regardless of which trigger level is selected.
Rx support functions and operation are quite
different from those described for the
transmitter. The Rx FIFO receives data until the
number of bytes in the FIFO equals the selected
interrupt trigger level.
At that time if Rx
interrupts are enabled, the UART will issue an
interrupt to the CPU. The Rx FIFO will continue
to store bytes until it holds 16 of them. It will
not accept any more data when it is full. Any
more data entering the Rx shift register will set
the Overrun Error flag. Normally, the FIFO
depth and the programmable trigger levels will
give the CPU ample time to empty the Rx FIFO
before an overrun occurs.
TX AND RX FIFO OPERATION
The Tx portion of the UART transmits data
through TXD as soon as the CPU loads a byte
into the Tx FIFO. The UART will prevent
loads to the Tx FIFO if it currently holds 16
characters. Loading to the Tx FIFO will again
be enabled as soon as the next character is
transferred to the Tx shift register. These
capabilities account for the largely autonomous
operation of the Tx.
The UART starts the above operations typically
with a Tx interrupt. The chip issues a Tx
interrupt whenever the Tx FIFO is empty and the
Tx interrupt is enabled, except in the following
instance. Assume that the Tx FIFO is empty
and the CPU starts to load it. When the first
byte enters the FIFO the Tx FIFO empty
interrupt will transition from active to inactive.
Depending on the execution speed of the service
routine software, the UART may be able to
transfer this byte from the FIFO to the shift
register before the CPU loads another byte. If
this happens, the Tx FIFO will be empty again
and typically the UART's interrupt line would
transition to the active state. This could cause a
system with an interrupt control unit to record a
Tx FIFO empty condition, even though the CPU
is currently servicing that interrupt. Therefore,
after the first byte has been loaded into the
FIFO the UART will wait one serial character
transmission time before issuing a new Tx
FIFO empty interrupt. This one character Tx
interrupt
delay
will
remain
active
One side-effect of having a Rx FIFO is that the
selected interrupt trigger level may be above the
data level in the FIFO. This could occur when
data at the end of the block contains fewer bytes
than the trigger level. No interrupt would be
issued to the CPU and the data would remain in
the UART. To prevent the software from
having to check for this situation the chip
incorporates a timeout interrupt.
The timeout interrupt is activated when there is
a least one byte in the Rx FIFO, and neither the
CPU nor the Rx shift register has accessed the
Rx FIFO within 4 character times of the last
byte. The timeout interrupt is cleared or reset
when the CPU reads the Rx FIFO or another
character enters it.
These FIFO related features allow optimization
of CPU/UART transactions and are especially
useful given the higer baud rate capability (256
kbaud).

INFRARED INTERFACE
500KHz
waveform for the duration of the
serial bit time. A one is signaled by sending no
transmission during the bit time. Please refer to
the AC timing for the parameters of the ASK-IR
waveform.
The infrared interface provides a two-way
wireless communications port using infrared as
a
transmission
medium.
Two
IR
implementations have been provided for the
second UART in this chip (logical device 5),
IrDA and Amplitude Shift Keyed IR. The IR
transmission can use the standard UART2
TXD2 and RXD2 pins or optional IRTX and
IRRX pins. These can be selected through the
configuration registers.
If the Half Duplex option is chosen, there is a
time-out when the direction of the transmission
is changed. This time-out starts at the last bit
transferred during a transmission and blocks the
receiver input until the timeout expires. If the
transmit buffer is loaded with more data before
the time-out expires, the timer is restarted after
the new byte is transmitted. If data is loaded
into the transmit buffer while a character is
being received, the transmission will not start
until the time-out expires after the last receive
bit has been received. If the start bit of another
character is received during this time-out, the
timer is restarted after the new character is
received. The IR half duplex time-out is
programmable via CRF2 in Logical Device 5.
This register allows the time-out to be
programmed to any value between 0 and
10msec in 100usec increments.
IrDA allows serial communication at baud rates
up to 4 Mbps. Each word is sent serially
beginning with a zero value start bit. A zero is
signaled by sending a single IR pulse at the
beginning of the serial bit time. A one is
signaled by sending no IR pulse during the bit
time. Please refer to the AC timing for the
parameters of these pulses and the IrDA
waveform.
The Amplitude Shift Keyed IR allows serial
communication at baud rates up to 19.2K Baud.
Each word is sent serially beginning with a zero
value start bit. A zero is signaled by sending a
81
FAST IR
to control it, and the other has a second receive
data channel (IRRX3). The FDC37C67x has two
configuration bits that can be used for these
signals.
These are IRMODESEL and
IRRX3SEL. The following table illustrates the
selection of the functions.
The following is a description of the top level
connection for the Fast IR block in the
FDC37C67x.
Refer
to
the
Infrared
Communications Controller Specification for
more information on Fast IR.
There are two types of transceiver modules
used for Fast IR: one has a mode pin (IR Mode)

The FDC37C67x incorporates an IBM XT/AT
compatible parallel port. This supports the
optional PS/2 type bi-directional parallel port
(SPP), the Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) and
the Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) parallel
port modes.
Refer to the Configuration
Registers for information on disabling, power
down, changing the base address of the parallel
port, and selecting the mode of operation.
The functionality of the Parallel Port is achieved
through the use of eight addressable ports,
with their associated registers and control
gating. The control and data port are read/write
by the CPU, the status port is read/write in the
EPP mode. The address map of the Parallel
Port is shown below:
The FDC37C67x also provides a mode for
support of the floppy disk controller on the
parallel port.

BIT 3 nERR - nERROR
The level on the nERROR input is read by the
CPU as bit 3 of the Printer Status Register. A
logic 0 means an error has been detected; a
logic 1 means no error has been detected.
IBM XT/AT COMPATIBLE, BI-DIRECTIONAL
AND EPP MODES
DATA PORT
ADDRESS OFFSET = 00H
BIT 4 SLCT - PRINTER SELECTED STATUS
The level on the SLCT input is read by the CPU
as bit 4 of the Printer Status Register. A logic 1
means the printer is on line; a logic 0 means it is
not selected.
The Data Port is located at an offset of '00H'
from the base address. The data register is
cleared at initialization by RESET. During a
WRITE operation, the Data Register latches the
contents of the data bus with the rising edge of
the nIOW input. The contents of this register
are buffered (non inverting) and output onto the
PD0 - PD7 ports. During a READ operation in
SPP mode, PD0 - PD7 ports are buffered (not
latched) and output to the host CPU.
BIT 5 PE - PAPER END
The level on the PE input is read by the CPU as
bit 5 of the Printer Status Register. A logic 1
indicates a paper end; a logic 0 indicates the
presence of paper.
STATUS PORT
ADDRESS OFFSET = 01H
BIT 6 nACK - nACKNOWLEDGE
The level on the nACK input is read by the CPU
as bit 6 of the Printer Status Register. A logic 0
means that the printer has received a character
and can now accept another. A logic 1 means
that it is still processing the last character or has
not received the data.
The Status Port is located at an offset of '01H'
from the base address. The contents of this
register are latched for the duration of an nIOR
read cycle. The bits of the Status Port are
defined as follows:
BIT 0 TMOUT - TIME OUT
This bit is valid in EPP mode only and indicates
that a 10 usec time out has occured on the EPP
bus. A logic O means that no time out error has
occured; a logic 1 means that a time out error
has been detected. This bit is cleared by a
RESET. Writing a one to this bit clears the time
out status bit. On a write, this bit is self clearing
and does not require a write of a zero. Writing a
zero to this bit has no effect.
BIT 7 nBUSY - nBUSY
The complement of the level on the BUSY input
is read by the CPU as bit 7 of the Printer Status
Register. A logic 0 in this bit means that the
printer is busy and cannot accept a new
character. A logic 1 means that it is ready to
accept the next character.
BITS 1, 2 - are not implemented as register bits,
during a read of the Printer Status Register
these bits are a low level.
The Control Port is located at an offset of '02H'
from the base address. The Control Register is
initialized by the RESET input, bits 0 to 5 only
being affected; bits 6 and 7 are hard wired low.
CONTROL PORT
ADDRESS OFFSET = 02H
86
The EPP Address Port is located at an offset of
'03H' from the base address. The address
register is cleared at initialization by RESET.
During a WRITE operation, the contents of DB0DB7 are buffered (non inverting) and output onto
the PD0 - PD7 ports, the leading edge of nIOW
causes an EPP ADDRESS WRITE cycle to be
performed, the trailing edge of IOW latches the
data for the duration of the EPP write cycle.
During a READ operation, PD0 - PD7 ports are
read, the leading edge of IOR causes an EPP
ADDRESS READ cycle to be performed and the
data output to the host CPU, the deassertion of
ADDRSTB latches the PData for the duration of
the IOR cycle. This register is only available in
EPP mode.
BIT 0 STROBE - STROBE
This bit is inverted and output onto the
nSTROBE output.
BIT 1 AUTOFD - AUTOFEED
This bit is inverted and output onto the
nAUTOFD output. A logic 1 causes the printer
to generate a line feed after each line is printed.
A logic 0 means no autofeed.
BIT 2 nINIT - nINITIATE OUTPUT
This bit is output onto the nINIT output without
inversion.
BIT 3 SLCTIN - PRINTER SELECT INPUT
This bit is inverted and output onto the nSLCTIN
output. A logic 1 on this bit selects the printer; a
logic 0 means the printer is not selected.
EPP DATA PORT 0
ADDRESS OFFSET = 04H
BIT 4 IRQE - INTERRUPT REQUEST ENABLE
The interrupt request enable bit when set to a
high level may be used to enable interrupt
requests from the Parallel Port to the CPU. An
interrupt request is generated on the IRQ port by
a positive going nACK input. When the IRQE
bit is programmed low the IRQ is disabled.
Parallel Control Direction is not valid in printer
mode. In printer mode, the direction is always
out regardless of the state of this bit. In bidirectional, EPP or ECP mode, a logic 0 means
that the printer port is in output mode (write); a
logic 1 means that the printer port is in input
mode (read).
The EPP Data Port 0 is located at an offset of
'04H' from the base address. The data register
is cleared at initialization by RESET. During a
WRITE operation, the contents of DB0-DB7 are
buffered (non inverting) and output onto the PD0
- PD7 ports, the leading edge of nIOW causes
an EPP DATA WRITE cycle to be performed,
the trailing edge of IOW latches the data for the
duration of the EPP write cycle. During a READ
operation, PD0 - PD7 ports are read, the leading
edge of IOR causes an EPP READ cycle to be
performed and the data output to the host CPU,
the deassertion of DATASTB latches the PData
for the duration of the IOR cycle. This register
is only available in EPP mode.
Bits 6 and 7 during a read are a low level, and
cannot be written.
EPP DATA PORT 1
ADDRESS OFFSET = 05H
EPP ADDRESS PORT
ADDRESS OFFSET = 03H
The EPP Data Port 1 is located at an offset of
'05H' from the base address. Refer to EPP
DATA PORT 0 for a description of operation.
This register is only available in EPP mode.
BIT 5 PCD - PARALLEL CONTROL DIRECTION
87
Read, Write or Address cycle is currently
executing, then the PDx bus is in the standard or
bi-directional mode, and all output signals
(STROBE, AUTOFD, INIT) are as set by the
SPP Control Port and direction is controlled by
PCD of the Control port.
EPP DATA PORT 2
ADDRESS OFFSET = 06H
The EPP Data Port 2 is located at an offset of
'06H' from the base address. Refer to EPP
DATA PORT 0 for a description of operation.
This register is only available in EPP mode.
In EPP mode, the system timing is closely
coupled to the EPP timing. For this reason, a
watchdog timer is required to prevent system
lockup. The timer indicates if more than 10usec
have elapsed from the start of the EPP cycle
(nIOR or nIOW asserted) to nWAIT being
deasserted (after command). If a time-out
occurs, the current EPP cycle is aborted and the
time-out condition is indicated in Status bit 0.
EPP DATA PORT 3
ADDRESS OFFSET = 07H
The EPP Data Port 3 is located at an offset of
'07H' from the base address. Refer to EPP
DATA PORT 0 for a description of operation.
This register is only available in EPP mode.
EPP 1.9 OPERATION
During an EPP cycle, if STROBE is active, it
overrides the EPP write signal forcing the PDx
bus to always be in a write mode and the
nWRITE signal to always be asserted.
When the EPP mode is selected in the
configuration register, the standard and bidirectional modes are also available. If no EPP

Software Constraints
Before an EPP cycle is executed, the software
must ensure that the control register bit PCD is
a logic "0" (ie a 04H or 05H should be written to
the Control port). If the user leaves PCD as a
logic "1", and attempts to perform an EPP write,
the chip is unable to perform the write (because
PCD is a logic "1") and will appear to perform an
EPP read on the parallel bus, no error is
indicated.

7.
EPP 1.9 Write
The timing for a write operation (address or
data) is shown in timing diagram EPP Write
Data or Address cycle. IOCHRDY is driven
active low at the start of each EPP write and is
released when it has been determined that the
write cycle can complete. The write cycle can
complete under the following circumstances:
1.
2.
8.
9.
If the EPP bus is not ready (nWAIT is active
low) when nDATASTB or nADDRSTB goes
active then the write can complete when
nWAIT goes inactive high.
EPP 1.9 Read
The timing for a read operation (data) is shown
in timing diagram EPP Read Data cycle.
IOCHRDY is driven active low at the start of
each EPP read and is released when it has been
determined that the read cycle can complete.
The read cycle can complete under the following
circumstances:
If the EPP bus is ready (nWAIT is inactive
high) then the chip must wait for it to go
active low before changing the state of
nDATASTB, nWRITE or nADDRSTB. The
write can complete once nWAIT is
determined inactive.
1
If the EPP bus is not ready (nWAIT is active
low) when nDATASTB goes active then the
read can complete when nWAIT goes
inactive high.
2.
If the EPP bus is ready (nWAIT is inactive
high) then the chip must wait for it to go
active low before changing the state of
WRITE or before nDATASTB goes active.
The read can complete once nWAIT is
determined inactive.

a) The chip deasserts nDATASTB or
nADDRSTRB, this marks the beginning
of the termination phase. If it has not
already done so, the peripheral should
latch the information byte now.
b) The chip latches the data from the
SData bus for the PData bus and
asserts (releases) IOCHRDY allowing
the host to complete the write cycle.
Peripheral asserts nWAIT, indicating to the
host that any hold time requirements have
been satisfied and acknowledging the
termination of the cycle.

preparation for the next cycle.
The host selects an EPP register, places
data on the SData bus and drives nIOW

If WAIT is not asserted, the chip must wait
until WAIT is asserted.
The chip places address or data on PData
bus, clears PDIR, and asserts nWRITE.

watchdog timer is required to prevent system
lockup. The timer indicates if more than 10usec
have elapsed from the start of the EPP cycle
(nIOR or nIOW asserted) to the end of the cycle
nIOR or nIOW deasserted).
If a time-out
occurs, the current EPP cycle is aborted and the
time-out condition is indicated in Status bit 0.

the PData bus is tri-stated.
10. Chip may modify nWRITE, PDIR and

Software Constraints
Before an EPP cycle is executed, the software
must ensure that the control register bits D0, D1
and D3 are set to zero. Also, bit D5 (PCD) is a
logic "0" for an EPP write or a logic "1" for and
EPP read.
EPP 1.7 Write
The timing for a write operation (address or
data) is shown in timing diagram EPP 1.7 Write
Data or Address cycle. IOCHRDY is driven
active low when nWAIT is active low during the
EPP cycle. This can be used to extend the cycle
time.
The write cycle can complete when
nWAIT is inactive high.

rather it provides an automatic high

ECP in both the forward and reverse directions.
ISA IMPLEMENTATION STANDARD
This specification describes the standard ISA
interface to the Extended Capabilities Port
(ECP). All ISA devices supporting ECP must
meet the requirements contained in this section
or the port will not be supported by Microsoft.
For a description of the ECP Protocol, please
refer to the IEEE 1284 Extended Capabilities
Port Protocol and ISA Interface Standard, Rev.
1.14, July 14, 1993. This document is available
from Microsoft.
Small FIFOs are employed in both forward and
reverse directions to smooth data flow and
improve the maximum bandwidth requirement.
The size of the FIFO is 16 bytes deep. The port
supports an automatic handshake for the
standard parallel port to improve compatibility
mode transfer speed.
The port also supports run length encoded
(RLE) decompression (required) in hardware.
Compression is accomplished by counting
identical bytes and transmitting an RLE byte
that indicates how many times the next byte is
to be repeated. Decompression simply
intercepts the RLE byte and repeats the
following byte the specified number of times.
Hardware support for compression is optional.
Description
The port is software and hardware compatible
with existing parallel ports so that it may be
used as a standard LPT port if ECP is not
required. The port is designed to be simple and
requires a small number of gates to implement.
It does not do any "protocol" negotiation,

DESCRIPTION
nStrobe
O
During write operations nStrobe registers data or address into the slave
on the asserting edge (handshakes with Busy).
PData 7:0
I/O
Contains address or data or RLE data.
nAck
I
Indicates valid data driven by the peripheral when asserted. This signal
handshakes with nAutoFd in reverse.
PeriphAck (Busy)
I
This signal deasserts to indicate that the peripheral can accept data.
This signal handshakes with nStrobe in the forward direction. In the
reverse direction this signal indicates whether the data lines contain
ECP command information or data. The peripheral uses this signal to
flow control in the forward direction. It is an "interlocked" handshake
with nStrobe. PeriphAck also provides command information in the
reverse direction.
PError
(nAckReverse)
I
Used to acknowledge a change in the direction the transfer (asserted =
forward).
The peripheral drives this signal low to acknowledge
nReverseRequest.
It
is
an
"interlocked"
handshake
with
nReverseRequest. The host relies upon nAckReverse to determine
when it is permitted to drive the data bus.
Select
I
Indicates printer on line.
nAutoFd
(HostAck)
O
Requests a byte of data from the peripheral when asserted,
handshaking with nAck in the reverse direction. In the forward direction
this signal indicates whether the data lines contain ECP address or
data. The host drives this signal to flow control in the reverse direction.
It is an "interlocked" handshake with nAck. HostAck also provides
command information in the forward phase.
nFault
(nPeriphRequest)
I
Generates an error interrupt when asserted. This signal provides a
mechanism for peer-to-peer communication. This signal is valid only in
the forward direction. During ECP Mode the peripheral is permitted
(but not required) to drive this pin low to request a reverse transfer. The
request is merely a "hint" to the host; the host has ultimate control over
the transfer direction. This signal would be typically used to generate
an interrupt to the host CPU.
nInit
O
Sets the transfer direction (asserted = reverse, deasserted = forward).
This pin is driven low to place the channel in the reverse direction. The
peripheral is only allowed to drive the bi-directional data bus while in
ECP Mode and HostAck is low and nSelectIn is high.
nSelectIn
O
Always deasserted in ECP mode.
95
to avoid conflict with standard ISA devices. The
port is equivalent to a generic parallel port
interface and may be operated in that mode.
The port registers vary depending on the mode
field in the ecr. The table below lists these
dependencies. Operation of the devices in
modes other that those specified is undefined.
Register Definitions
The register definitions are based on the
standard IBM addresses for LPT. All of the
standard printer ports are supported.
The
additional registers attach to an upper bit

BIT 5 PError
The level on the PError input is read by the CPU
as bit 5 of the Device Status Register. Printer
Status Register.
BIT 6 nAck
The level on the nAck input is read by the CPU
as bit 6 of the Device Status Register.
BIT 7 nBusy
The complement of the level on the BUSY input
is read by the CPU as bit 7 of the Device Status
Register.
DATA and ecpAFifo PORT
ADDRESS OFFSET = 00H
Modes 000 and 001 (Data Port)
The Data Port is located at an offset of '00H'
from the base address. The data register is
cleared at initialization by RESET. During a
WRITE operation, the Data Register latches the
contents of the data bus on the rising edge of
the nIOW input. The contents of this register
are buffered (non inverting) and output onto the
PD0 - PD7 ports. During a READ operation,
PD0 - PD7 ports are read and output to the host
CPU.
DEVICE CONTROL REGISTER (dcr)
ADDRESS OFFSET = 02H
The Control Register is located at an offset of
'02H' from the base address. The Control
Register is initialized to zero by the RESET
input, bits 0 to 5 only being affected; bits 6 and
7 are hard wired low.
BIT 0 STROBE - STROBE
This bit is inverted and output onto the
nSTROBE output.
BIT 1 AUTOFD - AUTOFEED
This bit is inverted and output onto the
nAUTOFD output. A logic 1 causes the printer
to generate a line feed after each line is printed.
A logic 0 means no autofeed.
BIT 2 nINIT - nINITIATE OUTPUT
This bit is output onto the nINIT output without
inversion.
BIT 3 SELECTIN
This bit is inverted and output onto the nSLCTIN
output. A logic 1 on this bit selects the printer; a
logic 0 means the printer is not selected.
BIT 4 ackIntEn - INTERRUPT REQUEST
ENABLE
The interrupt request enable bit when set to a
high level may be used to enable interrupt
requests from the Parallel Port to the CPU due
to a low to high transition on the nACK input.
Refer to the description of the interrupt under
Operation, Interrupts.
Mode 011 (ECP FIFO - Address/RLE)
A data byte written to this address is placed in
the FIFO and tagged as an ECP Address/RLE.
The hardware at the ECP port transmitts this
byte to the peripheral automatically.
The
operation of this register is ony defined for the
forward direction (direction is 0). Refer to the
ECP Parallel Port Forward Timing Diagram,
located in the Timing Diagrams section of this
data sheet .
DEVICE STATUS REGISTER (dsr)
ADDRESS OFFSET = 01H
The Status Port is located at an offset of '01H'
from the base address. Bits 0 - 2 are not
implemented as register bits, during a read of
the Printer Status Register these bits are a low
level. The bits of the Status Port are defined as
follows:
BIT 3 nFault
The level on the nFault input is read by the CPU
as bit 3 of the Device Status Register.
BIT 4 Select
The level on the Select input is read by the CPU
as bit 4 of the Device Status Register.
97
Data in the tFIFO will not be transmitted to the
to the parallel port lines using a hardware
protocol handshake.
However, data in the
tFIFO may be displayed on the parallel port data
lines.
BIT 5 DIRECTION
If mode=000 or mode=010, this bit has no effect
and the direction is always out regardless of the
state of this bit. In all other modes, Direction is
valid and a logic 0 means that the printer port is
in output mode (write); a logic 1 means that the
printer port is in input mode (read).
BITS 6 and 7 during a read are a low level, and
cannot be written.
The tFIFO will not stall when overwritten or
underrun. If an attempt is made to write data to
a full tFIFO, the new data is not accepted into
the tFIFO. If an attempt is made to read data
from an empty tFIFO, the last data byte is reread again. The full and empty bits must
always keep track of the correct FIFO state. The
tFIFO will transfer data at the maximum ISA
rate so that software may generate performance
metrics.
cFifo (Parallel Port Data FIFO)
ADDRESS OFFSET = 400h
Mode = 010
Bytes written or DMAed from the system to this
FIFO are transmitted by a hardware handshake
to the peripheral using the standard parallel port
protocol.
Transfers to the FIFO are byte
aligned. This mode is only defined for the
forward direction.
The FIFO size and interrupt threshold can be
determined by writing bytes to the FIFO and
checking the full and serviceIntr bits.
The writeIntrThreshold can be derermined by
starting with a full tFIFO, setting the direction bit
to 0 and emptying it a byte at a time until
serviceIntr is set. This may generate a spurious
interrupt, but will indicate that the threshold has
been reached.
ecpDFifo (ECP Data FIFO)
ADDRESS OFFSET = 400H
Mode = 011
Bytes written or DMAed from the system to this
FIFO, when the direction bit is 0, are transmitted
by a hardware handshake to the peripheral
using the ECP parallel port protocol. Transfers
to the FIFO are byte aligned.
The readIntrThreshold can be derermined by
setting the direction bit to 1 and filling the empty
tFIFO a byte at a time until serviceIntr is set.
This may generate a spurious interrupt, but will
indicate that the threshold has been reached.
Data bytes from the peripheral are read under
automatic hardware handshake from ECP into
this FIFO when the direction bit is 1. Reads or
DMAs from the FIFO will return bytes of ECP
data to the system.
Data bytes are always read from the head of
tFIFO regardless of the value of the direction bit.
For example if 44h, 33h, 22h is written to the
FIFO, then reading the tFIFO will return 44h,
33h, 22h in the same order as was written.
cnfgA (Configuration Register A)
ADDRESS OFFSET = 400H
Mode = 111
tFifo (Test FIFO Mode)
ADDRESS OFFSET = 400H
Mode = 110
Data bytes may be read, written or DMAed to or
from the system to this FIFO in any direction.
98
This register is a read only register. When read,
10H is returned. This indicates to the system
that this is an 8-bit implementation. (PWord = 1
byte)
BIT 3 dmaEn
Read/Write
1: Enables DMA (DMA starts when serviceIntr
is 0).
0: Disables DMA unconditionally.
BIT 2 serviceIntr
Read/Write
1: Disables DMA and all of the service
interrupts.
0: Enables one of the following 3 cases of
interrupts. Once one of the 3 service
interrupts has occurred serviceIntr bit shall
be set to a 1 by hardware. It must be reset
to 0 to re-enable the interrupts. Writing this
bit to a 1 will not cause an interrupt.
case dmaEn=1:
During DMA (this bit is set to a 1 when
terminal count is reached).
case dmaEn=0 direction=0:
This bit shall be set to 1 whenever there are
writeIntrThreshold or more bytes free in the
FIFO.
case dmaEn=0 direction=1:
This bit shall be set to 1 whenever there are
readIntrThreshold or more valid bytes to be
read from the FIFO.
BIT 1 full
Read only
1: The FIFO cannot accept another byte or the
FIFO is completely full.
0: The FIFO has at least 1 free byte.
BIT 0 empty
Read only
1: The FIFO is completely empty.
0: The FIFO contains at least 1 byte of data.
cnfgB (Configuration Register B)
ADDRESS OFFSET = 401H
Mode = 111
BIT 7 compress
This bit is read only. During a read it is a low
level. This means that this chip does not
support hardware RLE compression. It does
support hardware de-compression!
BIT 6 intrValue
Returns the value on the ISA iRq line to
determine possible conflicts.
BITS [3:0] Parallel Port IRQ
Refer to Table 41B.
BITS [2:0] Parallel Port DMA
Refer to Table 41C.
ecr (Extended Control Register)
ADDRESS OFFSET = 402H
Mode = all
This register controls the extended ECP parallel
port functions.
BITS 7,6,5
These bits are Read/Write and select the Mode.
BIT 4 nErrIntrEn
Read/Write (Valid only in ECP Mode)
1: Disables the interrupt generated on the
asserting edge of nFault.
0: Enables an interrupt pulse on the high to
low edge of nFault. Note that an interrupt
will be generated if nFault is asserted
(interrupting) and this bit is written from a 1
to a 0. This prevents interrupts from being
lost in the time between the read of the ecr
and the write of the ecr.

000:
Standard Parallel Port Mode . In this mode the FIFO is reset and common collector drivers
are used on the control lines (nStrobe, nAutoFd, nInit and nSelectIn). Setting the direction

001:
PS/2 Parallel Port Mode. Same as above except that direction may be used to tri-state the
data lines and reading the data register returns the value on the data lines and not the
value in the data register. All drivers have active pull-ups (push-pull).
010:
Parallel Port FIFO Mode. This is the same as 000 except that bytes are written or DMAed to
the FIFO. FIFO data is automatically transmitted using the standard parallel port protocol.
Note that this mode is only useful when direction is 0. All drivers have active pull-ups
(push-pull).
011:
ECP Parallel Port Mode. In the forward direction (direction is 0) bytes placed into the
ecpDFifo and bytes written to the ecpAFifo are placed in a single FIFO and transmitted

bytes are moved from the ECP parallel port and packed into bytes in the ecpDFifo. All
drivers have active pull-ups (push-pull).

OPERATION
After negotiation, it is necessary to initialize
some of the port bits. The following are required:
Mode Switching/Software Control
•
•
Software will execute P1284 negotiation and all
operation prior to a data transfer phase under
programmed I/O control (mode 000 or 001).
Hardware provides an automatic control line
handshake, moving data between the FIFO and
the ECP port only in the data transfer phase
(modes 011 or 010).
•
•
Set Direction = 0, enabling the drivers.
Set strobe = 0, causing the nStrobe signal
to default to the deasserted state.
Set autoFd = 0, causing the nAutoFd
signal to default to the deasserted state.
Set mode = 011 (ECP Mode)
Setting the mode to 011 or 010 will cause the
hardware to initiate data transfer.
ECP address/RLE bytes or data bytes may be
sent automatically by writing the ecpAFifo or
ecpDFifo respectively.
If the port is in mode 000 or 001 it may switch to
any other mode. If the port is not in mode 000
or 001 it can only be switched into mode 000 or
001. The direction can only be changed in
mode 001.
Note that all FIFO data transfers are byte wide
and byte aligned. Address/RLE transfers are
byte-wide and only allowed in the forward
direction.
The host may switch directions by first switching
to mode = 001, negotiating for the forward or
reverse channel, setting direction to 1 or 0, then
setting mode = 011. When direction is 1 the
hardware shall handshake for each ECP read
data byte and attempt to fill the FIFO. Bytes
may then be read from the ecpDFifo as long as
it is not empty.
Once in an extended forward mode the software
should wait for the FIFO to be empty before
switching back to mode 000 or 001. In this case
all control signals will be deasserted before the
mode switch. In an ecp reverse mode the
software waits for all the data to be read from
the FIFO before changing back to mode 000 or
001. Since the automatic hardware ecp reverse
handshake only cares about the state of the
FIFO it may have acquired extra data which will
be discarded. It may in fact be in the middle of a
transfer when the mode is changed back to 000
or 001. In this case the port will deassert
nAutoFd independent of the state of the transfer.
The design shall not cause glitches on the
handshake signals if the software meets the
constraints above.
ECP transfers may also be accomplished (albeit
slowly) by handshaking individual bytes under
program control in mode = 001, or 000.
Termination from ECP Mode
Termination from ECP Mode is similar to the
termination from Nibble/Byte Modes. The host is
permitted to terminate from ECP Mode only in
specific well-defined states. The termination can
only be executed while the bus is in the forward
direction. To terminate while the channel is in
the reverse direction, it must first be transitioned
into the forward direction.
ECP Operation
Prior to ECP operation the Host must negotiate
on the parallel port to determine if the peripheral
supports
the
ECP protocol. This is a
somewhat complex negotiation carried out
under program control in mode 000.
101
The most significant bit of the command
indicates whether it is a run-length count (for
compression) or a channel address.
Command/Data
ECP Mode supports two advanced features to
improve the effectiveness of the protocol for
some
applications.
The
features
are
implemented by allowing the transfer of normal
8 bit data or 8 bit commands.
When in the reverse direction, normal data is
transferred when PeriphAck is high and an 8 bit
command is transferred when PeriphAck is low.
The most significant bit of the command is
always zero. Reverse channel addresses are
seldom used and may not be supported in
hardware.
When in the forward direction, normal data is
transferred when HostAck is high and an 8 bit
command is transferred when HostAck is low.

Data Compression
Pin Definition
The ECP port supports run length encoded
(RLE) decompression in hardware and can
transfer compressed data to a peripheral. Run
length encoded (RLE) compression in hardware
is not supported. To transfer compressed data
in ECP mode, the compression count is written
to the ecpAFifo and the data byte is written to
the ecpDFifo.
The drivers for nStrobe, nAutoFd, nInit and
nSelectIn are open-collector in mode 000 and
are push-pull in all other modes.
ISA Connections
The interface can never stall causing the host to
hang. The width of data transfers is strictly
controlled on an I/O address basis per this
specification. All FIFO-DMA transfers are byte
wide, byte aligned and end on a byte boundary.
(The PWord value can be obtained by reading
Configuration Register A, cnfgA, described in
the next section.) Single byte wide transfers
are always possible with standard or PS/2
mode using program control of the control
signals.
Compression is accomplished by counting
identical bytes and transmitting an RLE byte
that indicates how many times the next byte is
to be repeated.
Decompression simply
intercepts the RLE byte and repeats the
following byte the specified number of times.
When a run-length count is received from a
peripheral, the subsequent data byte is
replicated the specified number of times. A
run-length count of zero specifies that only one
byte of data is represented by the next data
byte, whereas a run-length count of 127
indicates that the next byte should be expanded
to 128 bytes. To prevent data expansion,
however, run-length counts of zero should be
avoided.
Interrupts
The interrupts are enabled by serviceIntr in the
ecr register.
serviceIntr = 1 Disables the DMA and all of the
service interrupts.
serviceIntr = 0
103
Enables the selected interrupt
condition. If the interrupting
condition is valid, then the
interrupt
is
generated
immediately when this bit is
changed from a 1 to a 0. This
can occur during Programmed
I/O if the number of bytes
removed or added from/to the
FIFO does not cross the
threshold.
FIFO Operation
The FIFO threshold is set in the chip
configuration registers. All data transfers to or
from the parallel port can proceed in DMA or
Programmed I/O (non-DMA) mode as indicated
by the selected mode. The FIFO is used by
selecting the Parallel Port FIFO mode or ECP
Parallel Port Mode. (FIFO test mode will be
addressed separately.) After a reset, the FIFO
is disabled. Each data byte is transferred by a
Programmed I/O cycle or PDRQ depending on
the selection of DMA or Programmed I/O mode.
The interrupt generated is ISA friendly in that it
must pulse the interrupt line low, allowing for
interrupt sharing.
After a brief pulse low
following the interrupt event, the interrupt line is
tri-stated so that other interrupts may assert.
An interrupt is generated when:
1. For DMA transfers: When serviceIntr is 0,
dmaEn is 1 and the DMA TC is received.
The following paragraphs detail the operation of
the FIFO flow control. In these descriptions,
<threshold> ranges from 1 to 16.
The
parameter FIFOTHR, which the user programs,
is one less and ranges from 0 to 15.
2. For Programmed I/O:
a.
When serviceIntr is 0, dmaEn is 0,
direction is 0 and there are
writeIntrThreshold or more free bytes in
the FIFO.
Also, an interrupt is
generated when serviceIntr is cleared
to
0
whenever
there
are
writeIntrThreshold or more free bytes in
the FIFO.
b.(1)
When serviceIntr is 0, dmaEn
is 0, direction is 1 and there
are readIntrThreshold or more
bytes in the FIFO. Also, an
interrupt is generated when
serviceIntr is cleared to 0
whenever
there
are
readIntrThreshold or more
bytes in the FIFO.
A low threshold value (i.e. 2) results in longer
periods of time between service requests, but
requires faster servicing of the request for both
read and write cases. The host must be very
responsive to the service request. This is the
desired case for use with a "fast" system. A
high value of threshold (i.e. 12) is used with a
"sluggish" system by affording a long latency
period after a service request, but results in
more frequent service requests.
DMA TRANSFERS
DMA transfers are always to or from the
ecpDFifo, tFifo or CFifo. DMA utilizes the
standard PC DMA services. To use the DMA
transfers, the host first sets up the direction and
state as in the programmed I/O case. Then it
programs the DMA controller in the host with the
desired count and memory address. Lastly it
sets dmaEn to 1 and serviceIntr to 0. The ECP
requests DMA transfers from the host by
activating the PDRQ pin. The DMA will empty
or fill the FIFO using the appropriate direction
and mode. When the terminal count in the DMA
controller is reached, an interrupt is generated
3. When nErrIntrEn is 0 and nFault transitions
from high to low or when nErrIntrEn is set
from 1 to 0 and nFault is asserted.
4. When ackIntEn is 1 and the nAck signal
transitions from a low to a high.
104
then PDRQ is active again as soon as there is
one byte in the FIFO. If PDRQ goes inactive
due to the TC, then PDRQ is active again when
there is one byte in the FIFO, and serviceIntr
has been re-enabled. (Note: A data underrun
may occur if PDRQ is not removed in time to
prevent an unwanted cycle.)
Programmed I/O Mode or Non-DMA Mode
and serviceIntr is asserted, disabling DMA. In
order to prevent possible blocking of refresh
requests dReq shall not be asserted for more
than 32 DMA cycles in a row. The FIFO is
enabled directly by asserting nPDACK and
addresses need not be valid. PINTR is
generated when a TC is received. PDRQ must
not be asserted for more than 32 DMA cycles in
a row. After the 32nd cycle, PDRQ must be
kept unasserted until nPDACK is deasserted for
a minimum of 350nsec. (Note: The only way to
properly terminate DMA transfers is with a TC.)
The ECP or parallel port FIFOs may also be
operated using interrupt driven programmed I/O.
Software can determine the writeIntrThreshold,
readIntrThreshold, and FIFO depth by accessing
the FIFO in Test Mode.
DMA may be disabled in the middle of a transfer
by first disabling the host DMA controller. Then
setting serviceIntr to 1, followed by setting
dmaEn to 0, and waiting for the FIFO to
become empty or full. Restarting the DMA is
accomplished by enabling DMA in the host,
setting dmaEn to 1, followed by setting
serviceIntr to 0.
Programmed I/O transfers are to the ecpDFifo
at 400H and ecpAFifo at 000H or from the
ecpDFifo located at 400H, or to/from the tFifo at
400H. To use the programmed I/O transfers,
the host first sets up the direction and state, sets
dmaEn to 0 and serviceIntr to 0.
The ECP requests programmed I/O transfers
from the host by activating the PINTR pin. The
programmed I/O will empty or fill the FIFO using
the appropriate direction and mode.
DMA Mode - Transfers from the FIFO to the
Host
(Note: In the reverse mode, the peripheral may
not continue to fill the FIFO if it runs out of data
to transfer, even if the chip continues to request
more data from the peripheral.)
Note: A threshold of 16 is equivalent to a
threshold of 15. These two cases are treated
the same.
The ECP activates the PDRQ pin whenever
there is data in the FIFO. The DMA controller
must respond to the request by reading data
from the FIFO. The ECP will deactivate the
PDRQ pin when the FIFO becomes empty or
when the TC becomes true (qualified by
nPDACK), indicating that no more data is
required. PDRQ goes inactive after nPDACK
goes active for the last byte of a data transfer
(or on the active edge of nIOR, on the last byte,
if no edge is present on nPDACK). If PDRQ
goes inactive due to the FIFO going empty,
Programmed I/O - Transfers from the FIFO to
the Host
In the reverse direction an interrupt occurs when
serviceIntr is 0 and readIntrThreshold bytes
are available in the FIFO. If at this time the
FIFO is full it can be emptied completely in a
single burst, otherwise readIntrThreshold bytes
may be read from the FIFO in a single burst.
readIntrThreshold =(16-<threshold>) data bytes
in FIFO
105
the FIFO is empty it can be filled with a single
burst before the empty bit needs to be re-read.
Otherwise
it
may
be
filled
with
writeIntrThreshold bytes.
An interrupt is generated when serviceIntr is 0
and the number of bytes in the FIFO is greater
than or equal to (16-<threshold>). (If the
threshold = 12, then the interrupt is set
whenever there are 4-16 bytes in the FIFO.) The
PINT pin can be used for interrupt-driven
systems. The host must respond to the request
by reading data from the FIFO. This process is
repeated until the last byte is transferred out of
the FIFO. If at this time the FIFO is full, it can
be completely emptied in a single burst,
otherwise a minimum of (16-<threshold>) bytes
may be read from the FIFO in a single burst.
writeIntrThreshold =
(16-<threshold>) free
bytes in FIFO
An interrupt is generated when serviceIntr is 0
and the number of bytes in the FIFO is less than
or equal to <threshold>. (If the threshold = 12,
then the interrupt is set whenever there are 12 or
less bytes of data in the FIFO.) The PINT pin
can be used for interrupt-driven systems. The
host must respond to the request by writing data
to the FIFO. If at this time the FIFO is empty, it
can be completely filled in a single burst,
otherwise a minimum of (16-<threshold>) bytes
may be written to the FIFO in a single burst.
This process is repeated until the last byte is
transferred into the FIFO.
Programmed I/O - Transfers from the Host to
the FIFO
In the forward direction an interrupt occurs when
serviceIntr is 0 and there are writeIntrThreshold
or more bytes free in the FIFO. At this time if

AUTO POWER MANAGEMENT
Power management capabilities are provided for
the following logical devices: floppy disk, UART
1, UART 2 and the parallel port. For each
logical device, two types of power management
are provided; direct powerdown and auto
powerdown.
DSR From Powerdown
If DSR powerdown is used when the part is in
auto powerdown, the DSR powerdown will
override the auto powerdown. However, when
the part is awakened from DSR powerdown, the
auto powerdown will once again become
effective.
FDC Power Management
Direct power management is controlled by
CR22. Refer to CR22 for more information.
Wake Up From Auto Powerdown
If the part enters the powerdown state through
the auto powerdown mode, then the part can be
awakened by reset or by appropriate access to
certain registers.
Auto Power Management is enabled by CR23B0. When set, this bit allows FDC to enter
powerdown when all of the following conditions
have been met:
1.
The motor enable pins of register 3F2H are
inactive (zero).
2.
The part must be idle; MSR=80H and INT =
0 (INT may be high even if MSR = 80H due
to polling interrupts).
3.
The head unload timer must have expired.
4.
The Auto powerdown timer (10msec) must
have timed out.
If a hardware or software reset is used then the
part will go through the normal reset sequence.
If the access is through the selected registers,
then the FDC resumes operation as though it
was never in powerdown. Besides activating the
RESET pin or one of the software reset bits in
the DOR or DSR, the following register
accesses will wake up the part:
An internal timer is initiated as soon as the auto
powerdown command is enabled. The part is
then powered down when all the conditions are
met.
1.
Enabling any one of the motor enable bits
in the DOR register (reading the DOR does
not awaken the part).
2.
A read from the MSR register.
3.
A read or write to the Data register.
Once awake, the FDC will reinitiate the auto
powerdown timer for 10 ms. The part will
powerdown again when all the powerdown
conditions are satisfied.
Disabling the auto powerdown mode cancels the
timer and holds the FDC block out of auto
powerdown.
109
Register Behavior
Pin Behavior
Table 45 reiterates the AT and PS/2 (including
Model 30) configuration registers available. It
also shows the type of access permitted. In
order to maintain software transparency, access
to all the registers must be maintained. As Table
45 shows, two sets of registers are distinguished
based on whether their access results in the part
remaining in powerdown state or exiting it.
The FDC37C67x is specifically designed for
portable PC systems in which power
conservation is a primary concern. This makes
the behavior of the pins during powerdown very
important.
The pins of the FDC37C67x can be divided into
two major categories: system interface and
floppy disk drive interface. The floppy disk drive
pins are disabled so that no power will be drawn
through the part as a result of any voltage
applied to the pin within the part's power supply
range. Most of the system interface pins are left
active to monitor system accesses that may
wake up the part.
Access to all other registers is possible without
awakening the part. These registers can be
accessed during powerdown without changing
the status of the part. A read from these
registers will reflect the true status as shown in
the register description in the FDC description. A
write to the part will result in the part retaining
the data and subsequently reflecting it when the
part awakens.
Accessing the part during
powerdown may cause an increase in the power
consumption by the part. The part will revert
back to its low power mode when the access
has been completed.
System Interface Pins
Table 44 gives the state of the system interface
pins in the powerdown state. Pins unaffected by
the powerdown are labeled "Unchanged". Input
pins are "Disabled" to prevent them from
causing currents internal to the FDC37C67x
when they have indeterminate input values.

the SMI pin via bit 7 of the SMI Enable Register 2.
SERIAL INTERRUPTS
The FDC37C67x will support the serial interrupt to transmit interrupt information to the host system.
The serial interrupt scheme adheres to the Serial IRQ Specification for PCI Systems, Version 6.0.

115
the IRQSER or the Host Controller can operate
IRQSER in a continuous mode by initiating a
Start Frame at the end of every Stop Frame.
IRQSER Cycle Control
There are two modes of operation for the
IRQSER Start Frame.
An IRQSER mode transition can only occur
during the Stop Frame. Upon reset, IRQSER
bus is defaulted to Continuous mode,
therefore only the Host controller can initiate
the first Start Frame.
Slaves must
continuously sample the Stop Frames pulse
width to determine the next IRQSER Cycle’s
mode.
1) Quiet (Active) Mode : Any device may
initiate a Start Frame by driving the IRQSER low
for one clock, while the IRQSER is Idle. After
driving low for one clock the IRQSER must
immediately be tri-stated without at any time
driving high. A Start Frame may not be initiated
while the IRQSER is Active. The IRQSER is
Idle between Stop and Start Frames. The
IRQSER is Active between Start and Stop
Frames. This mode of operation allows the
IRQSER to be Idle when there are no IRQ/Data
transitions which should be most of the time.
IRQSER Data Frame
Once a Start Frame has been initiated, the
FDC37C67x will watch for the rising edge of the
Start Pulse and start counting IRQ/Data Frames
from there. Each IRQ/Data Frame is three
clocks: Sample phase, Recovery phase, and
Turn-around phase. During the Sample phase
the FDC37C67x must drive the IRQSER (SIRQ
pin) low, if and only if, its last detected IRQ/Data
value was low. If its detected IRQ/Data value is
high, IRQSER must be left tri-stated. During the
Recovery phase the FDC37C67x must drive the
SERIRQ high, if and only if, it had driven the
IRQSER low during the previous Sample Phase.
During the Turn-around Phase the FDC37C67x
must tri-state the SERIRQ. The FDC37C67x will
drive the IRQSER line low at the appropriate
sample point if its associated IRQ/Data line is
low, regardless of which device initiated the
Start Frame.
Once a Start Frame has been initiated the Host
Controller will take over driving the IRQSER low
in the next clock and will continue driving the
IRQSER low for a programmable period of three
to seven clocks. This makes a total low pulse
width of four to eight clocks. Finally, the Host
Controller will drive the IRQSER back high for
one clock, then tri-state.
Any IRQSER Device (i.e., The FDC37C67x)
which detects any transition on an IRQ/Data line
for which it is responsible must initiate a Start
Frame in order to update the Host Controller
unless the IRQSER is already in an IRQSER
Cycle and the IRQ/Data transition can be
delivered in that IRQSER Cycle.
The Sample Phase for each IRQ/Data follows
the low to high transition of the Start Frame
pulse by a number of clocks equal to the
IRQ/Data Frame times three, minus one. (e.g.
The IRQ5 Sample clock is the sixth IRQ/Data
Frame, (6 x 3) - 1 = 17th clock after the rising
edge of the Start Pulse).
2) Continuous (Idle) Mode: Only the Host
controller can initiate a Start Frame to update
IRQ/Data line information. All other IRQSER
agents become passive and may not initiate a
Start Frame. IRQSER will be driven low for four
to eight clocks by Host Controller. This mode
has two functions. It can be used to stop or idle

The SIRQ data frame will now support IRQ2 from a logical device, previously IRQSER Period 3 was
reserved for use by the System Management Interrupt (nSMI). When using Period 3 for IRQ2 the user
should mask off the SMI via the SMI Enable Register. Likewise, when using Period 3 for nSMI the
user should not configure any logical devices as using IRQ2.
IRQSER Period 14 is used to transfer IRQ13. Logical devices 0 (FDC), 3 (Par Port), 4 (Ser Port 1), 5
(Ser Port 2), 6 (RTC), and 7 (KBD) shall have IRQ13 as a choice for their primary interrupt.

followed. This could cause a system fault. The
host interrupt controller is responsible for
ensuring that these latency issues are mitigated.
The recommended solution is to delay EOIs and
ISR Reads to the interrupt controller by the
same amount as the IRQSER Cycle latency in
order to ensure that these events do not occur
out of order.
Stop Cycle Control
Once all IRQ/Data Frames have completed the
Host Controller will terminate IRQSER activity
by initiating a Stop Frame. Only the Host
Controller can initiate the Stop Frame. A Stop
Frame is indicated when the IRQSER is low for
two or three clocks. If the Stop Frame’s low
time is two clocks then the next IRQSER Cycle’s
sampled mode is the Quiet mode; and any
IRQSER device may initiate a Start Frame in
the second clock or more after the rising edge
of the Stop Frame’s pulse. If the Stop Frame’s
low time is three clocks then the next IRQSER
Cycle’s sampled mode is the Continuos mode;
and only the Host Controller may initiate a Start
Frame in the second clock or more after the
rising edge of the Stop Frame’s pulse.
AC/DC Specification Issue
All IRQSER agents must drive / sample
IRQSER synchronously related to the rising
edge of PCI bus clock. IRQSER (SIRQ) pin
uses the electrical specification of PCI bus.
Electrical parameters will follow PCI spec.
section 4, sustained tri-state.
Reset and Initialization
Latency
The IRQSER bus uses RESET_DRV as its reset
signal. The IRQSER pin is tri-stated by all
agents while RESET_DRV is active. With reset,
IRQSER Slaves are put into the (continuous)
IDLE mode. The Host Controller is responsible
for starting the initial IRQSER Cycle to collect
system’s IRQ/Data default values. The system
then follows with the Continuous/Quiet mode
protocol (Stop Frame pulse width) for
subsequent IRQSER Cycles. It is Host
Controller’s responsibility to provide the default
values to 8259’s and other system logic before
the first IRQSER Cycle is performed. For
IRQSER system suspend, insertion, or removal
application, the Host controller should be
programmed into Continuous (IDLE) mode first.
This is to guarantee IRQSER bus is in IDLE
state before the system configuration changes.
Latency for IRQ/Data updates over the IRQSER
bus in bridge-less systems with the minimum
IRQ/Data Frames of seventeen, will range up to
96 clocks (3.84µS with a 25MHz PCI Bus or
2.88uS with a 33MHz PCI Bus). If one or more
PCI to PCI Bridge is added to a system, the
latency for IRQ/Data updates from the
secondary or tertiary buses will be a few clocks
longer
for
synchronous
buses,
and
approximately double for asynchronous buses.
EOI/ISR Read Latency
Any serialized IRQ scheme has a potential
implementation issue related to IRQ latency.
IRQ latency could cause an EOI or ISR Read to
precede an IRQ transition that it should have
118
GP INDEX REGISTERS
To access these registers when in normal (run)
mode, the host should perform an IOW of the
Register Index to the GP Index register (at
0xEX) to select the Register and then read or
write the Data register (at Index+1) to access
the register.
The Watchdog Timer Control, SMI Enable and
SMI Status Registers can be accessed by the
host when the chip is in the normal run mode if
CR03 Bit[7]=1. The host uses GP Index and
Data register to access these registers. The
Power on default GP Index and Data registers
are 0xEA and 0xEB respectively. In
configuration mode the GP Index address may
be programmed to reside on addresses 0xE0,
0xE2, 0xE4 or 0xEA. The GP Data address is
automatically set to the Index address + 1.
Upon exiting the configuration mode the new GP
Index and Data registers are used to access
registers WDT_CTRL, SMI Enable and SMI
Status Registers.
The WDT_CTRL, SMI Enable and SMI Status
registers can also be accessed by the host when
in the configuration state through Logical Device
8.

WATCH DOG TIMER
There are three system events which can reset
the WDT, these are a Keyboard Interrupt, a
Mouse Interrupt, or I/O reads/writes to address
0x201 (the internal or an external Joystick Port).
The effect on the WDT for each of these system
events may be individually enabled or disabled
through bits in the WDT_CFG configuration
register. When a system event is enabled
through the WDT_CFG register, the occurrence
of that event will cause the WDT to reload the
value stored in WDT_VAL and reset the WDT
time-out status bit if set. If all three system
events are disabled the WDT will inevitably time
out.
The FDC37C67x contains a Watch Dog Timer
(WDT). The Watch Dog Time-out status bit may
be mapped to an interrupt through the
WDT_CFG Configuration Register.
The FDC37C67x's WDT has a programmable
time-out ranging from 1 to 255 minutes with one
minute resolution, or 1 to 255 seconds with 1
second resolution.
The units of the WDT
timeout value are selected via bit[7] of the
WDT_TIMEOUT register (LD8:CRF1.7). The
WDT time-out value is set through the
WDT_VAL Configuration register. Setting the
WDT_VAL register to 0x00 disables the WDT
function (this is its power on default). Setting
the WDT_VAL to any other non-zero value will
cause the WDT to reload and begin counting
down from the value loaded. When the WDT
count value reaches zero the counter stops and
sets the Watchdog time-out status bit in the
WDT_CTRL Configuration Register.
Note:
Regardless of the current state of the WDT, the
WDT time-out status bit can be directly set or
cleared by the Host CPU.
The Watch Dog Timer may be configured to
generate an interrupt on the rising edge of the
Time-out status bit. The WDT interrupt is
mapped to an interrupt channel through the
WDT_CFG Configuration Register.
When
mapped to an interrupt the interrupt request pin
reflects the value of the WDT time-out status bit.
The host may force a Watch Dog time-out to
occur by writing a "1" to bit 2 of the WDT_CTRL
(Force WD Time-out) Configuration Register.
Writing a "1" to this bit forces the WDT count
value to zero and sets bit 0 of the WDT_CTRL
(Watch Dog Status). Bit 2 of the WDT_CTRL is
self-clearing.

This is an 8 bit write only register. When

Keyboard Data Read
Keyboard Status Read
This is an 8 bit read only register. If enabled by
"ENABLE FLAGS", when read, the KIRQ output
is cleared and the OBF flag in the status register
is cleared. If not enabled, the KIRQ and/or
AUXOBF1 must be cleared in software.
This is an 8 bit read only register. Refer to the
description of the Status Register for more
information.
123
CPU-to-Host Communication
to this register automatically sets Bit 0 (OBF) in
the Status register. See Table 49.
The FDC37C67x CPU can write to the Output
Data register
via
register DBB. A write

Table 49 - Host Interface Flags
FLAG
Set OBF, and, if enabled, the KIRQ output signal goes high
MIRQ
If "EN FLAGS" has been executed and P25 is
set to a one:; IBF is inverted and gated onto
MIRQ. The MIRQ signal can be connected to
system interrupt to signify that the FDC37C67x
CPU has read the DBB register.
Host-to-CPU Communication
The host system can send both commands and
data to the Input Data register. The CPU
differentiates between commands and data by
reading the value of Bit 3 of the Status register.
When bit 3 is "1", the CPU interprets the register
contents as a command. When bit 3 is "0", the
CPU interprets the register contents as data.
During a host write operation, bit 3 is set to "1" if
SA2 = 1 or reset to "0" if SA2 = 0.
If "EN FLAGS” has not been executed, MIRQ is
controlled by P25. Writing a zero to P25 forces
MIRQ low, a high forces MIRQ high. (MIRQ is
normally selected as IRQ12 for mouse support.)
KIRQ
If "EN FLAGS" has been executed and P24 is
set to a one: the OBF flag is gated onto KIRQ.
The KIRQ signal can be connected to system
interrupt to signify that the FDC37C67x CPU
has written to the output data register via "OUT
DBB,A". If P24 is set to a zero, KIRQ is forced
low. On power-up, after a valid RST pulse has
been delivered to the device, KIRQ is reset to 0.
KIRQ will normally reflects the status of writes
"DBB". (KIRQ is normally selected as IRQ1 for
keyboard support.)
Gate A20
A general purpose P21 is used as a software
controlled Gate A20 or user defined output.
EXTERNAL
KEYBOARD
AND
MOUSE
INTERFACE
Industry-standard PC-AT-compatible keyboards
employ a two-wire, bidirectional TTL interface
for data transmission. Several sources also
supply PS/2 mouse products that employ the
same type of interface. To facilitate system
expansion, the FDC37C67x provides four signal
pins that may be used to implement this
interface directly for an external keyboard and
mouse.
If "EN FLAGS” has not been executed: KIRQ
can be controlled by writing to P24. Writing a
zero to P24 forces KIRQ low; a high forces
KIRQ high.
124
The FDC37C67x has four high-drive, open-drain
output, bidirectional port pins that can be used for
external serial interfaces, such as ISA external
keyboard and PS/2-type mouse interfaces. They are
KCLK, KDAT, MCLK, and MDAT. P26 is inverted and
output as KCLK. The KCLK pin is connected to
TEST0. P27 is inverted and output as KDAT. The
KDAT pin is connected to P10. P23 is inverted and
output as MCLK. The MCLK pin is connected to
TEST1. P22 is inverted and output as MDAT. The
MDAT pin is connected to P11. NOTE: External pullups may be required.
Hard Power Down Mode
This mode is entered by executing a STOP
instruction. The oscillator is stopped by disabling the
oscillator driver
cell. When either RESET is
driven active or a data byte is written to the DBBIN
register by a master CPU, this mode will be exited
(as above). However, as the oscillator cell will require
an initialization time, either RESET must be held
active for sufficient time to allow the oscillator to
stabilise. Program execution will resume as above.
INTERRUPTS
KEYBOARD POWER MANAGEMENT
The FDC37C67x provides the two 8042 interrupts.
IBF and the Timer/Counter Overflow.
The keyboard provides support for two power-saving
modes: soft powerdown mode and hard powerdown
mode. In soft powerdown mode, the clock to the ALU
is stopped but the timer/counter and interrupts are still
active. In hard power down mode the clock to the
8042 is stopped.
MEMORY CONFIGURATIONS
The FDC37C67x provides 2K of on-chip ROM and
256 bytes of on-chip RAM.
Soft Power Down Mode
Register Definitions
This mode is entered by executing a HALT
instruction. The execution of program code is halted
until either RESET is driven active or a data byte is
written to the DBBIN register by a master CPU. If
this mode is exited using the interrupt, and the IBF
interrupt is enabled, then program execution resumes
with a CALL to the interrupt routine, otherwise the
next instruction is executed. If it is exited using
RESET then a normal reset sequence is initiated and
program execution starts from program memory
location 0.
Host I/F Data Register
The Input Data register and Output Data register are
each 8 bits wide. A write to this 8 bit register will load
the Keyboard Data Read Buffer, set the OBF flag and
set the KIRQ output if enabled. A read of this register
will read the data from the Keyboard Data or
Command Write Buffer and clear the IBF flag. Refer
to the KIRQ and Status register descriptions for more
information.
Host I/F Status Register
The Status register is 8 bits wide. Table 50 shows
the contents of the Status register.

EXTERNAL CLOCK SIGNAL
The FDC37C67x Keyboard Controller clock
source is a 12 MHz clock generated from a
14.318 MHz clock. The reset pulse must last for
at least 24 16 Mhz clock periods. The pulsewidth requirement applies to both internally (Vcc
POR) and externally generated reset signals. In
powerdown mode, the external clock signal is
not loaded by the chip.
(Input Buffer Full)- This flag is set to 1
whenever the host system writes data
into the input data register. Setting this
flag activates the FDC37C67x CPU's
nIBF (MIRQ) interrupt if enabled. When
the FDC37C67x CPU reads the input
data register (DBB), this bit is
automatically reset and the interrupt is

Upon reset, this signal is driven inactive high (bit
0 in the Port 92 Register is set to 0).
Bit 0 of Port 92, which generates the nALT_RST
signal, is used to reset the CPU under program
control.
This signal is AND’ed together
externally with the reset signal (nKBDRST) from
the keyboard controller to provide a software
means of resetting the CPU. This provides a
faster means of reset than is provided by the
keyboard controller. Writing a 1 to bit 0 in the
Port 92 Register causes this signal to pulse low
for a minimum of 6µs, after a delay of a
minimum of 14µs. Before another nALT_RST
If Port 92 is enabled, i.e., bit 2 of KRST_GA20 is
set to 1, then a pulse is generated by writing a 1

AND’ed with the pulse generated from the 8042.
This pulse is output on pin KRESET and its
polarity is controlled by the GPI/O polarity
configuration.

as in a true 8042 part. Reference the 8042 spec
for all timing. A port signal of 0 drives the
output to 0. A port signal of 1 causes the port
enable signal to drive the output to 1 within 2030nsec. After several (# TBD) clocks, the port
enable goes away and the internal 90µA pull-up
maintains the output signal as 1.
Bit 1 of Port 92, the ALT_A20 signal, is used to
force nA20M to the CPU low for support of real
mode compatible software.
This signal is
externally OR’ed with the A20GATE signal from
the keyboard controller and CPURST to control
the nA20M input of the CPU. Writing a 0 to bit 1
of the Port 92 Register forces ALT_A20 low.
ALT_A20 low drives nA20M to the CPU low, if
A20GATE from the keyboard controller is also
low. Writing a 1 to bit 1 of the Port 92 Register
forces ALT_A20 high. ALT_A20 high drives
nA20M to the CPU high, regardless of the state
of A20GATE from the keyboard controller. Upon
reset, this signal is driven low.
In 8042 mode, the pins can be programmed as
open drain. When programmed in open drain
mode, the port enables do not come into play. If
the port signal is 0 the output will be 0. If the
port signal is 1, the output tristates: an external
pull-up can pull the pin high, and the pin can be
shared i.e., P12 and nSMI can be externally tied
together. In 8042 mode, the pins cannot be
programmed as input nor inverted through the
GP configuration registers.

SYSTEM MANAGEMENT INTERRUPT (SMI)
The FDC37C67x implements a group nSMI
output pin. The System Management Interrupt
is a non-maskable interrupt with the highest
priority level used for transparent power
management. The nSMI group interrupt output
consists of the enabled interrupts from each of
the functional blocks in the chip. The interrupts
are enabled onto the group nSMI output via the
SMI Enable Registers 1 and 2. The nSMI output
is then enabled onto the group nSMI output pin
via bit[7] in the SMI Enable Register 2.
The logic equation for the nSMI output is
follows:
nSMI = (EN_PINT and IRQ_PINT)
(EN_U2INT and IRQ_U2INT)
(EN_U1INT and IRQ_U1INT)
(EN_FINT
and
IRQ_FINT)

CONFIGURATION
configuration ports to initialize the logical
devices at POST. The INDEX and DATA ports
are only valid when the FDC37C67x is in
Configuration Mode.
The Configuration of the FDC37C67x is very
flexible and is based on the configuration
architecture implemented in typical Plug-andPlay components. The FDC37C67x is designed
for motherboard applications in which the
resources required by their components are
known. With its flexible resource allocation
architecture, the FDC37C67x allows the BIOS to
assign resources at POST.
The SYSOPT pin is latched on the falling edge
of the RESET_DRV or on Vcc Power On Reset
to determine the configuration register's base
address. The SYSOPT pin is used to select the
CONFIG PORT's I/O address at power-up.
Once powered up the configuration port base
address can be changed through configuration
registers CR26 and CR27. The SYSOPT pin
is a hardware configuration pin which is
shared with the nRTS1 signal on pin 87.
During reset this pin is a weak active low signal
which sinks 30µA. Note: All I/O addresses are
qualified with AEN.
SYSTEM ELEMENTS
Primary Configuration Address Decoder
After a hard reset (RESET_DRV pin asserted) or
Vcc Power On Reset the FDC37C67x is in the
Run Mode with all logical devices disabled. The
logical devices may be configured through two
standard Configuration I/O Ports (INDEX and
DATA) by placing the FDC37C67x into
Configuration Mode. The BIOS uses these
The INDEX and DATA ports are effective only
when the chip is in the Configuration State.

Entering the Configuration State
Exiting the Configuration State
The device enters the Configuration State when
the following Config Key is successfully written
to the CONFIG PORT.
The device exits the Configuration State when
the following Config Key is successfully written
to the CONFIG PORT.
Config Key = < 0x55 >
Config Key = < 0xAA>
132
Exit Configuration Mode
To exit the Configuration State the system
writes 0xAA to the CONFIG PORT. The chip
returns to the RUN State.
CONFIGURATION SEQUENCE
To program the configuration registers, the
following sequence must be followed:
1. Enter Configuration Mode
2. Configure the Configuration Registers
3. Exit Configuration Mode.
Note: Only two states are defined (Run and
Configuration). In the Run State the chip will
always be ready to enter the Configuration
State.
Enter Configuration Mode
To
place
the
chip
into
the
Configuration State the Config Key is sent to
the chip's CONFIG PORT. The config key
consists of 0x55 written to the CONFIG PORT.
Once the configuration key is received correctly
the chip enters into the Configuration State
(The auto Config ports are enabled).

Configuration Mode
The system sets the logical device information
and activates desired logical devices through
the INDEX and DATA ports. In configuration
mode, the INDEX PORT is located at the
CONFIG PORT address and the DATA PORT is
at INDEX PORT address + 1.
The desired configuration registers are accessed
in two steps:
a. Write the index of the Logical Device
Number Configuration Register (i.e., 0x07) to
the INDEX PORT and then write the number
of the desired logical device to the DATA
PORT
b. Write the address of the desired
configuration register within the logical
device to the INDEX PORT and then write or
read the configuration register through the
DATA PORT.
Note: If accessing the Global Configuration
Registers, step (a) is not required.

Note 1: To allow the selection of the configuration address to a user defined location, these
Configuration Address Bytes are used. There is no restriction on the address chosen, except that A0
is 0, that is, the address must be on an even byte boundary. As soon as both bytes are changed, the
configuration space is moved to the specified location with no delay (Note: Write byte 0, then byte 1;
writing CR27 changes the base address).
The configuration address is only reset to its default address upon a Hard Reset or Vcc POR.
Note: The default configuration address is either 3F0 or 370, as specified by the SYSOPT pin.
This change affects SMSC Mode only.

Note 1: A logical device will be active and powered up according to the following equation:
DEVICE ON (ACTIVE) = (Activate Bit SET or Pwr/Control Bit SET).
The Logical device's Activate Bit and its Pwr/Control Bit are linked such that setting

*Stresses above those listed above could cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only and functional operation of the device at any other condition above those indicated in the
operation sections of this specification is not implied.
Note: When powering this device from laboratory or system power supplies, it is important that the
Absolute Maximum Ratings not be exceeded or device failure can result. Some power supplies exhibit
voltage spikes on their outputs when the AC power is switched on or off. In addition, voltage
transients on the AC power line may appear on the DC output. If this possibility exists, it is suggested
that a clamp circuit be used.

ECP PARALLEL PORT TIMING
Parallel Port FIFO (Mode 101)
PeriphAck (Busy) high to acknowledge the
handshake. The host then sets HostClk
(nStrobe) high. The peripheral then accepts
the data and sets PeriphAck (Busy) low,
The standard parallel port is run at or near the
peak 500KBytes/sec allowed in the forward
direction using DMA. The state machine does
not examine nACK and begins the next transfer
based on Busy. Refer to Figure 18.
completing the transfer. This sequence is shown
in Figure 18.
ECP Parallel Port Timing
The timing is designed to provide 3 cable
round-trip times for data setup if Data is driven
simultaneously with HostClk (nStrobe).
The timing is designed to allow operation at
approximately 2.0 Mbytes/sec over a 15ft cable.
If a shorter cable is used then the bandwidth
will increase.
Reverse-Idle Phase
The peripheral has no data to send and keeps
PeriphClk high. The host is idle and keeps
HostAck low.
Forward-Idle
When the host has no data to send it keeps
HostClk (nStrobe) high and the peripheral will
leave PeriphClk (Busy) low.
Reverse Data Transfer Phase
The interface transfers data and commands
from the peripheral to the host using an interlocked HostAck and PeriphClk.
Forward Data Transfer Phase
The interface transfers data and commands
from the host to the peripheral using an interlocked PeriphAck and HostClk. The peripheral
may indicate its desire to send data to the host
by asserting nPeriphRequest.
The Reverse Data Transfer Phase may be entered from the Reverse-Idle Phase. After the
previous byte has beed accepted the host sets
HostAck (nALF) low. The peripheral then sets
PeriphClk (nACK) low when it has data to send.
The data must be stable for the specified setup
time prior to the falling edge of PeriphClk. When
the host is ready to accept a byte it sets
HostAck (nALF) high to acknowledge the
handshake. The peripheral then sets PeriphClk
(nACK) high. After the host has accepted the
data it sets HostAck (nALF) low, completing the
transfer. This sequence is shown in Figure 19.
The Forward Data Transfer Phase may be
entered from the Forward-Idle Phase. While in
the Forward Phase the peripheral may
asynchronously assert the nPeriphRequest
(nFault) to request that the channel be reversed.
When the peripheral is not busy it sets
PeriphAck (Busy) low. The host then sets
HostClk (nStrobe) low when it is prepared to
send data. The data must be stable for the
specified setup time prior to the falling edge of
HostClk.

Extended Capabilities Port Protocol and ISA
Interface Standard, Rev. 1.14, July 14, 1993,
available from Microsoft. The dynamic driver
change must be implemented properly to
prevent glitching the outputs.
Output Drivers
To facilitate higher performance data transfer,
the use of balanced CMOS active drivers for
critical signals (Data, HostAck, HostClk,
PeriphAck, PeriphClk) are used ECP Mode.
