M512x : Mega I/O Controller with PnP
Section 1 : Introduction
Features and Functions
The Acer Labs' M512x chip has two full-function universal
asynchronous receiver/ transmitters (UARTs), a keyboard
interface, real time clock, a floppy disk controller (FDC) with
data separator, parallel port, standard XT/AT address
decoding for on-chip functions, and a configuration register.
It offers a single-chip solution to the most common IBM PC,
XT, AT and Notebook peripherals.
The floppy disk controller is fully compatible with the
industry-standard 765A and 82077SL architecture.
It
includes more advanced options such as a high
performance data separator, extended track range to 4096,
high performance power management, implied seek
command, scan command, and supports both IBM and ISO
360K/1.2M/720K/1.44M/2.88M FDD formats. The UARTs
are compatible with either the INS8250N-B, NS16450 and
16550. It has complete compatibility with the IBM AT's
parallel port. The configuration register is one-byte wide
and can be programmed via hardware or software. By
controlling this register, the user can assign standard AT
addresses and disable any major on-chip function (e.g., the
FDC, either UART, or the parallel port) independent of the
others. This allows for flexibility in system configuration
when adapter boards contain duplicate functions.
The M512x provides support for the ISA Plug-and-Play
standard and recommended functionality to support
Windows ‘ 95. Through internal configuration registers,
each of the M512x’ s logic device’ s I/O address, DMA
channel and IRQ channel may be programmed. There are
96 I/O address location options, 13 IRQ options, and three
DMA channel options for each logical device except KBC
and RTC. KBC’ s I/O address is not routable. RTC’ s I/O
address and IRQ are not routable as well.

The following figures show the overall block diagram of the
M512x.

M512x : Mega I/O Controller with PnP
Section 3 : Configuration Description and Power Management Features
3.1 Configuration Port
CHIP LEVEL REGISTERS
This configuration is based on the typical Plug-and-Play
architecture and allows the BIOS to assign resources at
POST.
Index name
Hard reset, Soft reset default values
Index 0x02h
0x00, 0x00
To assign M512x a configuration key, <0x51, 0x23> must
be written to CONFIG PORT to enter the CONFIGURE
mode.
Then follow the Plug-and-Play procedure to
configure each device.
Bit 0
1 : Soft reset the configuration registers.
This bit is automatically cleared after
write. This register is write only.
A configuration key = < 0xBB > must be written to CONFIG
PORT to exit the CONFIGURE mode and enter the RUN
mode.
Index 0x03h
0x03, N/A

This allows the access to each
logical device’ s registers.

Read only.
device
identification.
Note : After exiting the CONFIGURE mode, the current
logic device select is cleared. You must select the logic
device before you program it.
After a hard reset or Power on reset, the M512x is in the
RUN mode with all logical devices disable except KBC and
RTC. The hardware setting pins control the KBC and RTC.
Then the normal configure procedure is also suitable for
KBC and RTC. The hardware setting is listed on table 3-2.
All logical devices may be configured through 2 standard
Configuration I/O Ports ( INDEX and DATA ) by placing the
M512x into Configuration Mode. The BIOS uses these
configuration ports to initialize the logical devices at POST.
The INDEX and DATA ports are only valid when the M512x
is in Configuration Mode.
A hardware setting pin CFG_PORT is latched to select the
CFG_PORT as 3F0h or 370h.

3.2 Power Management Features
The M512x contains power management features that
makes it ideal for design of notebook and desktop personal
computers. These features can be classified into power
management of the part and the internal oscillator. The
powerdown of the part is done independently of the internal
oscillator in the M512x.
3.2.1 Oscillator Power Management
The M512x supports a built-in crystal oscillator that can be
programmed to be either powered down or active,
independent of the power state of the chip. This capability is
implemented by the OSC-OFF bit in the 0x22. When OSCOFF is set high, the internal oscillator is off.
When the external oscillator is used, power can be saved by
turning off the internal oscillator. If the internal oscillator is
used, the oscillator may be powered up (even when the rest
of the chip is powered off) allowing the chip to wake up
quickly and be in a stable state. It is recommended to keep
the internal oscillator on even at the powerdown state. The
main reason for this is that the recovery time of the
oscillator during wake-up may take tens of milli-seconds
under the worst case, which may create problems with any
sensitive application software. In a typical application, the
internal oscillator should be on unless the system goes into
a power saving or standby mode. Such a mode request
would be made by a system time-out or by a user. In this
case, the system software would take over and must turn on
the oscillator sufficiently ahead of awakening the part.
In the case of the external oscillators, the power-up
characteristics are similar. If the external source remains
active during the time the M512x is powered down, then the
recovery time effect is minimized.
3.2.2 Part Power Management
This section deals with the power management of the rest of
the chip excluding the oscillator. This part shows how
powerdown modes and wake up modes are activated.
3.2.2.1 Powerdown Modes of FDC
The rest of the chip is powered down in two ways: direct
powerdown and automatic powerdown. Direct powerdown
results in immediate shutdown of the part without regard to
the current state of the part. Automatic powerdown results
when certain conditions become true within the part.
A.
Direct Powerdown
Direct powerdown is conducted via the powerdown bit in the
DSR register (bit 6) or FDC_PWD bit in 0X22.
Programming this bit high will powerdown M512x after the
part is internally reset. All current status is lost if this type of
powerdown mode is used. The part can exit powerdown
from this mode via any hardware or software reset. This
type of powerdown will override the automatic powerdown.
If the part is in automatic powerdown when the DSR
powerdown is issued, then all the previous status of the part
will be lost, and the M512x will be reset to its default values.
B.
Auto Powerdown
Automatic powerdown is conducted via a "Set Powerdown
Mode" command. There are four conditions required before
the part will enter powerdown. All these conditions must be
true for the part to initiate the powerdown sequence. These
conditions are listed as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The motor enable pins ME[0:3] must be inactive,
The part must be idle; this is indicated by MSR = 80H
and INT = 0 (INT may be high even if MSR = 80H due
to polling interrupt),
The head unload timer must have expired, and
The auto powerdown timer must have timed out.
The command can be used to enable powerdown by setting
the AUTOPD bit in the command to high. The command
also provides a capability of programming a minimum
power-up time via the MIN DLY bit in the command. The
minimum power-up time refers to a minimum amount of
time the part will remain powered-up after being awakened
or reset. An internal timer is initiated as soon as the auto
powerdown command is enabled. The part is then powered
down provided all the remaining conditions are met. Any
software reset will reinitialize the timer. Changing of data
rate extends the auto powerdown timer by up to 10 ms, but
only if the data rate is changed during the countdown.
Disabling the auto powerdown mode cancels the timers and
holds the M512x out of auto powerdown.

M512x : Mega I/O Controller with PnP
3.2.2.2 Powerdown Mode of UART and Printer
UART1, UART2 and printer can enter direct powerdown or
auto powerdown respectively by setting their relative
powerdown bit in the 0X22 and 0x23.
3.2.2.3 WAKE UP MODES of FDC
This section describes the conditions for awakening the part
from both direct and automatic powerdown.
Power
conservation of battery life is the main reason power
management is required. This means that the M512x must
be kept in powerdown state as long as possible and should
be powered up as late as possible without compromising
software transparency.
To keep the part in powerdown mode as late as possible
implies that the part should wake-up as fast as possible.
However, some amount of time is required for the part to
exit powerdown state and prepare the internal
microcontroller to accept commands. Application software
is very sensitive to such a delay and in order to maintain
software transparency, the recovery time of the wake-up
process must be carefully controlled by the system software.
A.
Wake Up from DSR Powerdown
If the M512x enters powerdown through the DSR
powerdown bit, it must be reset to exit. Any form of
software or hardware reset will serve, although DSR is
recommended. No other register access will wake up the
part, including writing to the DOR's motor enable (ME[0:3])
bits.
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 by a
software reset, the auto powerdown command (including the
minimum delay timer) will again become effective as
previously programmed. If the part is awakened via a
hardware reset, the auto powerdown is disabled.
After reset, the part will go through a normal sequence. The
drive status will be initialized. The FIFO mode will be set to
default mode on a hardware reset or on a software reset if
the LOCK command is not blocking it. Finally, after a delay,
the polling interrupt will be issued.
B.
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.
If a hardware or software reset is used, then the part goes
through the normal reset sequence. If the access is through
the selected registers, then the M512x 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:
1.
2.
3.
Enabling any one of the motor enable bits in the DOR
register (reading the DOR does not wake-up the part)
A read from the MSR register
A read or write to the FIFO register
Any of these actions will wake-up the part. Once awake,
M512x will initiate the auto powerdown time for 10 ms or 0.5
sec. (Depending on the MIN DLY bit the auto powerdown
command). The part will powerdown again when all the
powerdown conditions stated in the Auto Powerdown
section are satisfied.

Data Direction: Indicates whether the controller is expecting a byte to be written to (0) or
read from (1) the data register.
D5
Non-DMA Execution: Bit is set only during the execution phase of a command if it is in the
non-DMA mode. In other words, if this bit is set, the multiple byte data transfer (in the
execution phase) must be monitored by the CPU either through interrupts, or software polling
as described in the processor software interface section.
D4
Command in Progress: Bit is set after the first byte of the command phase is written. Bit is
cleared after the last byte of the result phase is read. If there is no result phase in a
command, the bit is cleared after the last byte of the command phase is written.
Drives 3~0 Seeking: Set after the last byte of the command phase of a seek or recalibrate
command is issued for drives 3~0, respectively. Cleared after reading the first byte in the
result phase of the sense interrupt command for this drive.

POWERDOWN bit implements direct powerdown. Setting this bit high puts the FDC into the
powerdown state regardless of the state of the part. The part is reset internally and then goes
into powerdown. No status is saved and any operation in progress is aborted. This
powerdown mode does not turn off the internal oscillator. Any hardware or software reset will
exit the M512x from this powerdown state.

PRECOMP 0-2 adjusts the WRDATA output to the and disk to compensate for magnetic
media phenomena known as bit shifting. The data patterns that are susceptible to bit shifting
are well understood and the M512x offsets the data pattern as it is written to the disk. The
amount of precompensation depends upon the drive and media but in most cases the default
value is acceptable.
The M512x starts precompensating the data pattern starting on Track 0. The CONFIGURE
command can change the starting track for precompensation. Table 4-10 lists the
precompensation values that can be selected and Table 4-11 lists the default
precompensation values. The default value is selected if the three bits are zeros.

4.2.7 Data Register (R/W)
Address 3F5
R/W
This is the location through which all commands, data, and status flow between the CPU and the FDC. During the command
phase, the CPU loads the controller's commands into this register based on the status register request for master and data
direction bits. The result phase transfers the status registers and header information to the CPU in the same fashion.
All command parameter information and disk data transfers go through the FIFO. The 16-byte FIFO has programmable threshold
values. Data transfers are generated by the RQM and DIO bits in the Main Status Register.
The FIFO defaults to an M5105 compatible mode after a "Hardware" reset (Reset via pin 1). "Software" Resets (Reset via DOR or
DSR register) can also place the M512x into M5105-A3/A4-compatible mode if the LOCK bit is set to "0" 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 disk error. Table 4-13 gives several
examples of the delays with a FIFO. The data is based upon the following formula:
Threshold# * 1/DATA RATE * 8 - 1.5us = DELAY

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 M512x enters
the command execution phase, it clears the FIFO of any
data to ensure that invalid data is not transferred.
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.

4.4 Controller Functional Description
4.4.1 Controller Phases
4.4.1.2.2 Interrupt Mode
The FDC handles commands in three phases—
command,
execution and result. Each phase is described below.
If the non-DMA mode is selected, an interrupt is generated
in the execution phase when each byte is ready to be
transferred. The Main Status Register should be read to
verify that the interrupt is for a data transfer. Bits 5 and 7 of
the Main Status Register is set. The interrupt is cleared
when the byte is transferred to or from the data register.
The CPU should transfer the byte within the allotted time. If
the byte is not transferred within the time allotted, an
overrun error is indicated in the result phase when the
command terminates at the end of the current sector.
4.4.1.1 Command Phase
The CPU writes a series of bytes to the data register. These
bytes indicate the command desired and the particular
parameters required for the command. All the bytes must
be written in the order specified in the command description
table. The execution phase starts immediately after the last
byte in the command phase is written.
The Main Status Register controls the flow of command
bytes, and must be polled by the software before writing
each Command Phase byte to the Data Register. Prior to
writing a command byte, the bit 7 must be set and bit 6
must be cleared in the MSR. After the first command byte is
written to the Data Register, the bit 4 in MSR is also set and
remain set until the last Result Phase byte is read. If there is
no Result Phase, it is cleared after the last command byte is
written. A new command may be initiated after reading all
the result bytes from the previous command.
4.4.1.2 Execution Phase
The disk controller performs the desired command. Some
commands require the CPU to read or write data to or from
the data register during this phase. Some commands such
as Seek control the read/write head movement on the disk
drive. Some commands does not involve any action by the
uP or disk drive, and consists of an internal operation by the
controller.
If there is data to be transferred between the uP and the
controller, there are three methods that can be used, DMA
mode, interrupt mode, and software polling mode. All of
these data transfer modes work with the FIFO enabled or
disabled.
An interrupt is also generated after the last byte is
transferred. This indicates the beginning of the Result
Phase.
4.4.1.2.3 Software Polling
If the non-DMA mode is selected and interrupts are not
suitable, the CPU can poll the Main Status Register during
the execution phase to determine when a byte is ready to be
transferred. The bit 7 of the Main Status Register reflects
the state of the interrupt pin. Otherwise, the data transfer is
similar to the interrupt mode described above.
4.4.1.3 Result Phase
During the Result Phase, the uP reads a series of bytes
from the data register. These bytes indicate the status of the
command. This status may indicate whether the command
executed properly, or contain some control information. The
bit 7 and bit 6 in the MSR must both be set before each
result byte can be read. After the last result byte is read, the
bit 4 in the MSR is cleared, and the controller is ready for
the next command.
4.4.1.2.1 DMA Mode
If the DMA mode is selected, a DMA request is generated in
the execution phase when each byte is ready to be
transferred. To enable DMA operations during the execution
phase, the DMA mode bit in the Specify command must be
enabled, and the DMA signals must be enabled in the Drive
Control Register. The DMA controller responds to the DMA
request with a DMA-acknowledge and a read- or writestrobe. The DMA request is cleared by the active edge of the
DMA-acknowledge. After the last byte is transferred, an
interrupt is generated, indicating the beginning of the result
phase. TC is asserted to terminate an operation. Due to
internal gating, TC is only recognized when the -DAK input
is low.

M512x : Mega I/O Controller with PnP
4.6 Command Description
4.6.1 Read Data
The read data op-code is written to the data register
followed by 8 bytes as specified in the command description
table. After the last byte is written, the controller starts
looking for the correct sector header. Once the controller is
found, the controller sends data to the CPU. After one
sector is finished, the sector number is incremented by one
and this new sector is searched for. If MT (multi-track) is
set, both sides of one track can be read. Starting on side
zero, the sectors are read until the sector number specified
by end of track sector number is reached. Then, side one is
read by starting with sector number one.
In DMA mode, the read-data command continues to read
until the TC pin is set. This means that the DMA controller
should be programmed to transfer the correct number of
bytes. TC should be controlled by the CPU and be asserted
when enough bytes are received. An alternative to these
methods of stopping the read-data command is to program
the end of track sector number as the last sector number
that to be read. The controller stops reading the disk with
an error message indicating that it tried to access a sector
number beyond the end of the track.
The number of data bytes per sector parameter is defined in
Table 4-27. If this is set to zero, the data length parameter
defines the number of bytes that the controller transfers to
the CPU. If the data length specified is smaller than 128,
the controller still reads the entire 128 byte sector and
checks the CRC, though only the number of bytes specified
by the data length parameter are transferred to the CPU.
Data length parameter should not be set to zero. If the
number of bytes per sector parameter is not zero, the data
length parameter has no meaning and should be set to FFh.

If the implied seek mode is enabled by both the mode
command and the IPS bit in this command, a seek is
performed to the track number specified in the command
phase. The controller also waits for the head-settle-time if
the implied seek is enabled. After all these conditions are
met, the controller searches for the specified sector by
comparing the track number, head number, sector number,
and number of bytes/sector given in the command phase
with the appropriate bytes read off the disk in the address
fields.
If the correct sector is found, but there is a CRC error in the
address field, bit 5 of ST1 (CRC error) is set and an
abnormal termination is indicated. If the correct sector is
not found, bit 2 of ST1 (no data) is set and an abnormal
termination is indicated. In addition to this, if any address
field track number is FF, bit 1 of ST2 (bad track) is set or, if
any address field track number is different from that
specified in the command phase, bit 4 of ST2 (wrong track)
is set.
After finding the correct sector, the controller reads that data
field. If a deleted data mark is found and the SK bit is set,
the sector is not read, bit 6 of ST2 (control mark) is set, and
the next sector is searched for. If a deleted data mark is
found and the SK bit is not set, the sector is read, bit 6 of
ST2 (control mark) is set, and the read terminates with a
normal termination. If a CRC error is detected in the data
field, bit 5 is set to both ST1 and ST2 (CRC error) and an
abnormal termination is indicated.
If no problems occur in the read command, the read
continues from one sector to the next in logical order (not
physical order) until either TC is set or an error occurs. If a
disk has not been inserted into the disk drive, there are
many opportunities for the controller to hang. It does this if
it is waiting for a certain number of disk revolutions. If this
occurs, the controller can be forced to abort the command
by writing a byte to the data register.
An interrupt is generated when an execution phase of the
read data command terminates. Table 4-28 shows the
values that are read back in the result phase. If an error
occurs, the result bytes indicate the sector being read when
the error occurred.

4.6.2 Read-Deleted-Data
This command is the same as the read-data command
except for how it handles a deleted data mark. If a deleted
data mark is read, the sector is read normally. If a regular
data mark is found and the SK bit is set, the sector is not
read, bit 6 of ST2 (control mark) is set, and the next sector
is searched for. If a regular data mark is found and the SK
bit is not set, the sector is read, bit 6 of ST2 (control mark)
is set, and the read terminates with a normal termination.
4.6.3 Write-Data
The write-data command is very similar to the read-data
command except that data is transferred from the CPU to
the disk rather than the other way around. If the controller
detects the write-protect signal, bit 1 of ST1 (not writable) is
set and an abnormal termination is indicated.
4.6.4 Write-Deleted-Data
This command is the same as the write-data command
except that a deleted-data mark is written at the beginning of
the data field instead of the normal data mark.
4.6.5 Read a Track
This command is similar to the read-data command except
for the following: the controller starts at the index hole and
reads the sectors in their physical order, not their logical
order.
Even though the controller reads sectors in their physical
order, it still compares the header ID bytes with the data
programmed in the command phase. The exception to this
is the sector number. Internally, this is set to one, then
incremented for each successive sector read. Whether or
not the programmed address field matches that read from

the disk, the sectors are still read in their physical order. If a
header ID comparison fails, bit 2 of ST1 (No data) is set, but
the operation continues. If there is a CRC error in the
address or data field, the read also continues.
The
command terminates when it has read the number of
sectors programmed in the EOT parameter.
4.6.6 Read ID
This command causes the controller to read the first
address field it finds. The result phase contains the header
bytes that are read. There is no data transfer during the
execution phase of this command. An interrupt is generated
when the execution phase is completed.
4.6.7 Format-a-Track
This command formats one track on the disk. After the
index hole is detected, data patterns are written on the disk
including all gaps, address marks, address fields, and data
fields. The exact details of the number of bytes for each
field is controlled by the parameters given in the format-atrack command, and the IAF (Index Address Field) bit in the
mode command. The data field consists of the fill-byte
specified in the command, repeated to fill the entire sector.
To allow for floppy formatting, the CPU must supply the four
address field bytes (track, head, sector, number of bytes) for
each sector formatted during the execution phase. In other
words, as the controller formats each sector, it requests four
bytes through either DMA requests or interrupts. This allows
for non-sequential sector interleaving. Table 4-29 shows
some typical values for the programmable gap size.
The format command terminates when the index hole is
detected a second time, at which point an interrupt is
generated. Only the first three status bytes in the result
phase are significant.

4.6.8 Scan Commands
The scan commands allow data read from the disk to be
compared against data sent from the CPU. There are three
scan commands to choose from:
Scan equal
Scan less than or equal
Scan greater than or equal
Disk data = CPU data
Disk data < CPU data
Disk data > CPU data
Each sector is interpreted with the most significant byte first.
If the wildcard mode is enabled from the mode command,
an FFh from either the disk or CPU is used as a "don't care"
byte that always matches equal. If each sector is read, the
desired condition has not been met, and the next sector is
read. The next sector is defined as the current sector
number plus the sector step-size specified.

4.6.9 Seek
The scan command continues until the scan condition has
been met, or the end of track sector number has been
reached, or if TC is asserted. If the SK bit is set, sectors
with deleted data marks are ignored. If all sectors read are
skipped, the command terminates with D3 of ST2 set (scan
equal hit). Table 4-30 shows the result phase of the
command.
Page 50
There are two ways to move the disk drive head to the
desired track number. The first method is to enable the
implied seek mode. This way, each individual read or write
command automatically moves the head to the track
specified in the command.

M512x : Mega I/O Controller with PnP
The second method is by using the seek command. During
the execution phase of the seek command, the track number
to seek for is compared with the present track number, and
a step pulse is produced to move the head one track closer
to the desired track number. This is repeated at the rate
specified by the specify command until the head reaches the
correct track. At this point, an interrupt is generated and a
sense-interrupt command is required to clear the interrupt.
During the execution phase of the seek command, the only
indication via software that a seek command is in progress
is bits 0~3 (drive busy) of the main status register. Bit 4 of
the main status register (command in progress) is not set.
While the internal micro-engine is capable of multiple seeks
on two or more drives at the same time since the drives are
selected via the drive-control register in software, software
should ensure that only one drive performs the seek
command at one time. No other command except the
sense-interrupt command is issued while a seek command
is in progress.
If the extended track range mode is enabled, write a fourth
byte in the command phase to indicate the four most
significant bits of the desired track number. Otherwise, write
only three bytes.
4.6.10 Relative Seek
The Relative Seek command steps the selected drive in or
out a given number of steps. This command will step the
read/write head an incremental number of tracks from the
current track number, contrasting to step it to the desired
track number as Seek command. The Relative Seek
parameters are defined as follows:
DIR: Read/Write Head Step Direction Control
0=Step Head Out, 1=Step Head In
RTN: Relative Track Number. This value will determine how
many incremental tracks to step the head in or out
from
the current track number.
4.6.11 Recalibrate
The recalibrate command is very similar to the seek
command. It is used to step a drive head out to track zero.
Step pulses are produced until the track zero signal from the
drive becomes true. If the track zero signal does not go
before 77 step pulses are issued, an error is generated. If
the extended track range mode is enabled, an error is not
generated until 3,917 pulses are issued.
4.6.12 Sense-Interrupt Status
An interrupt is generated by the controller when any of the
following conditions occur:
1.
Upon entering the result phase of:
a. Read-data command
b. Read-deleted-data command
c. Write-data command
d. Write-deleted-data command
e. Read-a-track command
f. Read-ID command
g. Format command
h. Scan commands
2.
During data transfers in the execution phase while in the
non-DMA mode
3.
Internal ready signal changes state (only occurs
immediately after a hardware or software reset).
4.
Seek or recalibrate command termination
An interrupt generated for reasons 1 and 2 above occurs
during normal command operations and are easily
recognized by the CPU. During an execution phase in nonDMA mode, bit 5 (execution mode) in the MSR is set to 1.
Upon entering result phase, this bit is set to 0.
Reasons 1 and 2 do not require the sense interrupt status
command. The interrupt is cleared by reading or writing
information to the data register. Interrupts caused by
reasons 3 and 4 are identified with the aid of the sense
interrupt status command.
This command resets the
interrupt when the command byte is written.
Table 4-31 shows how to identify the cause of the interrupt
by using bits 5, 6 and 7 of ST0.
Issuing a sense-interrupt status command without an
interrupt pending is treated as an invalid command. If the
extended track range mode is enabled, a third byte should
be read in the result phase which indicates the four most
significant bits of the present track number. Otherwise, only
two bytes should be read.
Recalibrations on more than one drive at a time should not
be issued for the same reason as explained in the seek
command. No other command except the sense-interrupt
command should be issued while a recalibrate command is
in progress.

4.6.13 Specify
The specify command sets the initial values for each of the
three internal timers.
Table 4-32 shows the timer
programming values.
The head-load and head-unload timers are artifacts of the
UPD765A. These timers determine the delay from loading
the head until a read or write command is started, and
unloading the head sometime after the command was
completed. Since the M512x head-load signal is now the
software-controlled motor lines in the drive-control register,
these timers only provide some delay from the initialization
of a command until it is actually started. Similar to the
DP8474, extend these timers setting the TMR bit in the
mode command.
The step-rate time defines the time interval between
adjacent step pulses during a seek, implied-seek, or
recalibrate command. The times stated in Table 4-32 are
affected by the data rate. These values are for 500 kb/s
MFM (250 Kb/s FM) and 1 Mb/s MFM (500 Kb/s FM). For
300 kb/s MFM data rate (150 Kb/s FM), these values,
multiply by 1.6667, and for 250 Kb/s MFM (125 Kb/s FM)
double these values.
The choice of DMA or non-DMA operation is made by the
non-DMA bit. When this bit is 1, the non-DMA mode is
selected, and when this bit is 0, DMA mode is selected.
This command does not generate an interrupt.

4.6.14 Sense Drive Status
4.6.16 Version
This two-byte command obtains the status of a disk drive.
Status register 3 is returned in the result phase and contains
the drive status. This command does not generate an
interrupt.
The Version command can be used to determine the floppy
controller being used. The result phase uniquely identifies
the floppy controller version. The FDC returns a value of 90h
in order to be compatible with the 82077. For older version
compatible with NEC765 controller, a value of 80h (invalid
command) will return.
4.6.15 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.

and debug. The command returns important information
regarding the status of many of the programmed field in the
FDC. This can be used to verify the values initialized in the
FDC.

4.6.18 Configure
4.6.20 Lock
The Configure command controls some operation modes of
the controller. It should be issued during the initialization of
the FDC after power up. These bits are set to their default
values after a hardware reset.
EIS: Enable implied seek. When EIS=1, the FDC will
perform a SEEK operation before executing a read/write
command. The default value is 0 (no implied seek).
The Lock command allows the user full control of the FIFO
parameters after a software reset. If the LOCK bit is set to 1,
then the EFIFO, FIFOTHR and PRETRK bits in the
Configure command are not affected by a software reset.
After the command byte is written, the result byte must be
read before continuing to the next command.
4.6.21 Invalid
EFIFO: Enable FIFO. When EFIFO=1, the FIFO is disabled
(NEC765A compatible mode). This means data is
transferred on a byte by byte basis. The default value is 1
(FIFO disable).
POLL: Disable Polling. When POLL=1, polling of the drives
is disabled. POLL defaults to 0 (polling enable). When
enabled, a single interrupt is generated after reset.
FIFOTHR: The FIFO threshold in the execution phase of a
read/write command. This is programmable from 1 to 16
bytes. FIFOTHR defaults to 00. A 00h selects one byte and
0Fh selects 16 bytes.
PRETRK:
Precompensation
start
track
number.
Programmable from track 0 to 255. PRETRK defaults to
track 0. A 00h selects track 0 and a FFh selects track 255.
4.6.19. Powerdown Mode
The Powerdown mode command allows the automatic
power management. The use of the command can extend
the battery life in portable PC applications. To enable auto
powerdown the command may be issued during the BIOS
power on self test (POST).
DLY: Minimum powerup timer. This bit is active only if APD
bit is enabled. Set this bit to 0 assigns a 10msec timer, and
to 1 assigns a 0.5sec timer. The timer will be re-initialized
after a command execution is finished (idle state) and start
to countdown. When the timer is expired, the FDC will enter
the powerdown state automatically.
APD: Enable auto powerdown. When set to 1, the auto
powerdown is enabled.
If an invalid command (illegal Opcode byte in the command
phase) is received by the controller, the controller responds
with ST0 in the Result Phase. The controller does not
generate an interrupt during this condition. The system
reads an 80h from ST0 indicating an invalid command was
received.
4.6.22 Perpendicular Mode
The Perpendicular Mode command is designed to support
the Perpendicular Recording disk drives (4Mbytes
unformatted capacity). The Perpendicular Mode command
configures each of the four logical drives as a perpendicular
or conventional disk drive. Configuration of the four logical
disk drives is done via the D3-D0 bits, or with the GAP and
WG control bits. This command should be issued during the
initialization of the floppy controller.
A 0 written to Dn sets drive n to conventional mode, and a 1
sets drive n to perpendicular mode. Also, the OW bit offers
additional control. When OW=1, changing the values of D3D0 is enabled. When OW=0, the internal values of D3-D0
are unaffected, regardless of what is written to D3-D0.
The function of the Dn bits must also be qualified by setting
both WG and GAP to 0. If WG and GAP are not set to 00,
they overrides whatever is programmed in the Dn bits. Table
4-4 below indicates the operation of the FDC based on the
values of GAP and WG. D3-D0 are unaffected by a software
reset, but WG and GAP are both cleared to 0 after a
software reset. A hardware reset resets all the bits to zero.

Section 5 : Serial Port Registers
Each of the serial ports function as data input/output
interface in a microcomputer system. The system software
determines the functional configuration of the UARTs via a
tri-state 8-bit bi-directional data bus.
The UARTs are completely independent and perform serialto-parallel conversion on data characters received from a
peripheral device or a modem, and parallel-to-serial
conversion on data characters received from the CPU. The
CPU can read the complete status of any of the UARTs at
any time during the functional operation. Status information
reported includes the type and condition of the transfer
operations performed by the UART, as well as any error
conditions (parity, overrun, framing, or break interrupt).
The UARTs have programmable baud rate generator
capable of dividing the timing reference clock input by
divisors of 1 to (216 - 1), and producing a 16 X clock for
driving the internal transmitter logic. Provisions are also
included to use this 16 X clock to drive the receiver logic.
The UARTs have complete modem-control capability and a
processor-interrupt system. Interrupts can be programmed
to the user's requirements, minimizing the computing
required to handle communications link.
Table 5-1 lists the register addresses A2 ~ A0 (AEN is equal to zero). DLAB is the divisor latch access bit.

LCR Registers
Function
Divisor latch access bit (DLAB).
1 = To access divisor latches of the baud generator or the alternate function register during a read
or write operation.
0 = To access any other register.
Break control bit. This bit causes a break condition to be transmitted to the receiving UART.
1 = Serial output (SOUT) is forced to the spacing logic
0 = Break is disabled
This bit acts only on SOUT and has no effect on transmitter logic. This enables the CPU to alert a
terminal in a computer communications system. If the following sequence is followed, no erroneous
or extraneous characters are transmitted because of the break :
1.
Load all 0s, pad character in response to THRE.
2.
Set break after the next THRE.
3.
Wait for the transmitter to be idle, (TEMT = 1), and clear break when normal transmission has
to be restored. During the break, the transmitter can be used as a character timer to
accurately establish the break duration.
Stick parity bit. When parity is enabled, it is used in conjunction with bit 4 to select, mark or space
parity.
1 = Enable stick parity
0 = Disable stick parity
Parity select bit. Selects either an odd or even number of 1's to be transmitted/checked in the data
word bit and parity bit.
0 = Odd number of 1's (parity bit is a logic 1, mark parity)
1 = Even number of 1's (parity bit is a logic 0, space parity)
Parity enable bit. The parity bit is used to produce an even or odd number of 1's when the data bits
and the parity bit are added. A parity bit is generated (transmit data) or checked (received data)
between the last data bit and the stop bit of the serial data.
0 = Parity bit is not generated/checked
1 = Parity bit is generated/checked
Specifies the number of stop bits transmitted with each serial character. The receiver checks the first
stop bit only, regardless of the number of stop bits selected.
0 = 1 stop bit
1 = 1.5 stop bits, when a 5-bit data length is selected
1 = 2 stop bits, when 6-, 7-, or 8-bit data length is selected
Specify the number of data bits (data length) in each transmitted or received serial character. The
following are the bit values:
00 = 5 bits
01 = 6 bits
10 = 7 bits
11 = 8 bits

5.2 Programmable Baud Generator
The UART contains two independently programmable baud
generators. The 24-MHz crystal oscillator frequency input is
divided by 13, resulting in a frequency of 1.8462-MHz. This
is sent to each baud generator and divided by the divisor for
the associated UART. The output frequency of the baud
generator is 16 X the baud rate, [divisor # = (frequency
input) / (baud rate x 16)]. The output of each baud
generator drives the transmitter and receiver sections of the
associated serial channel. Two 8-bit latches per channel
store the divisor in a 16-bit binary format. These divisor
latches must be loaded during initialization to ensure proper
operation of the baud generator. Upon loading either of the
divisor latches, a 16-bit baud counter is loaded.
Table 5-5 provides decimal divisors to use with crystal
frequencies of 24-MHz. The oscillator input to the chip
should always be 24-MHz to ensure that the FDC timing is
accurate and that the UART divisors are compatible with
existing software.
Using a divisor of zero is not
recommended.
5.3 Line Status Register (LSR)
This register provides status information to the CPU
concerning the data transfer. LSR is intended for read
Table 5-4
operations only. Writing to this register is not recommended
as this operation is only used for factory testing.
Line Status Register Function Definition
Bit
Function
7
In 16450 mode, this bit is set to 0. In FIFO, LSR7 is set when there is at least one parity error, framing
error or break indication in the FIFO LSR7 is cleared when the CPU reads the LSR, if there are no
subsequent errors in the FIFO.
This bit changes its function depending on whether the device is operating in XT/AT mode. When in
the AT mode, this bit is the transmitter empty (TEMT) indicator. It is set to 1 whenever the transmitter
holding register (THR) and the transmitter shift register (TSR) are both empty. It is reset to 0 whenever
either the THR or TSR contains a data character.
Transmitter holding register empty (THRE) indicator. It indicates that the UART is ready to accept a
new character for transmission. It also causes the UART to issue an interrupt to the CPU when the
THRE interrupt enable is set high. It is set to 1 when a character is transferred from the THRE into
TSR. It is reset to 0 whenever the CPU loads the THRE.
Break interrupt (BI) indicator. It is set to 1 when the received data input is held in the spacing (logic 0)
state for longer than a full word transmission time (that is, the total time of start bit data bits parity
stop bits). It is reset whenever the CPU reads the contents of the LSR. Restarting after a break is
received requires the SIN pin to be logical 1 for at least 1/2-bit time.
Framing error (FE) indicator. This bit indicates that the received character did not have a valid stop bit.
It is set to 1 whenever the stop bit following the last data bit or parity bit is a logic 0 (spacing level).
The FE indicator is reset whenever the CPU reads the contents of LSR. The UART tries to
resynchronize after a framing error. To do this, it assumes that the FE was due at the next start bit, so
it samples this start bit twice and then takes in the data.
Parity error (PE) indicator. This bit indicates that the received data character does not have the correct
even or odd parity, as selected by the even-parity-select bit. It is set to 1 upon detection of a parity
error and reset to 0 whenever the CPU reads the contents of the LSR.
Overrun error (OE) indicator. It indicates that data in the RBR was not read by the CPU before the next
data was transferred into the RBR, thereby destroying the previous data. It is set to 1 upon detection of
an overrun condition and reset to 0 whenever the CPU reads the contents of the LSR.
Receive data ready (DR) indicator. It is set to 1 whenever a complete incoming character has been
received and transferred into the RBR. It is reset to 0 by reading the data in the RBR.

5.4 Interrupt Identification Register (IIR)
This register keeps a record of the four interrupts prioritized
by the UART to reduce software overhead during data
transfers. The four levels of interrupt conditions in order of
priority are: receiver-line-status, received-data-ready,
transmitter-holding-register-empty, and modem-status.
When the CPU accesses the IIR, the UART freezes all
interrupts and indicates the highest priority pending interrupt
to the CPU. While this CPU access is occurring, the UART
records new interrupts, but does not change its current
indication until the access is complete.

Always '0'.
ln non-FIFO mode, this bit is a logic 0.
In FIFO mode, this bit is set along with
bit 2 when a timeout interrupt is pending.
Identifies the highest interrupt pending.
Used in an interrupt environment to
indicate whether an interrupt condition is
pending. If yes, the IIR contents may be
used as a pointer to the appropriate
interrupt service routine.

5.5 Interrupt Enable Register (IER)
This register enables the four types of UART interrupts.
Each interrupt can individually activate the UR2IRQA or
UR1IRQA output signal. Resetting bits 0 ~ 3 of the IER
disables the interrupt system. Similarly, setting bits of this
register to 1 enables the selected interrupts. Disabling an
interrupt prevents it from being indicated as active in the IIR
and from activating the interrupt output signal. All other
system functions operate in their normal manner, including
the setting of the line status and modem status registers.

5.6 FIFO Control Register
Bit 1: Writing a 1 to FCR1 clears all bytes in the RCVR
FIFO and resets its counter logic to 0. The shift register is
not cleared. The 1 that is written to this bit position is selfclearing.
Bit 2: Writing a 1 to FCR2 clears all bytes in the XMIT FIFO
and resets its counter logic to 0. The shift register is not
cleared. The 1 that is written to this bit position is selfclearing.
Bit 3: Setting FCR3 to a 1 will cause the RXRDY and
TXRDY pins to change from mode 0 to mode 1 if FCR0 = 1
Bit 4, 5: FCR4 to FCR5 are reserved for future use.
This is a write only register at the same location as the IIR
(the IIR is a read only register). This register is used to
enable the FIFOs, clear the FIFOs, set the RCVR FIFO

Bit 0: Writing a 1 to FCR0 enables both the XMIT and
RCVR FIFOs. Resetting FCR0 will clear all bytes in both
FIFOs. When changing from FIFO mode to NS16450 mode
and vice versa, data is automatically cleared from the
FIFOs. This bit must be a 1 when other FCR bits are
written to or they will not be programmed.
Bit 6, 7: FCR6 and FCR7 are used to set the trigger level for
the RCVR FIFO interrupt.

5.7 Modem Control Register (MCR)
This register controls the interface with the modem or data set (or a peripheral emulating a modem).

This bit provides a local loopback feature for the UART diagnostic testing. When set to 1, the following
occurs: the transmitter serial output (SOUT) is set to the marking (1) state; the receiver serial input
(SIN) is disconnected; the output of the transmitter shift register is looped back into the receiver shift
register input; the four modem control inputs (DSRJ, CTSJ, RIJ, and DCDJ) are disconnected; and the
DTRJ, RTSJ, OUT1, IRQ enable bits in MCR respectively. When operating in AT mode, the modem
control output pins are forced to their high (inactive) states. In the diagnostic mode, data that is
transmitted is immediately received. This feature allows the processor to verify the transmit-andreceive data paths of the serial port. In the diagnostic mode, the receiver and transmitter interrupts are
fully operational. The modem status interrupts are also operational, but the interrupt's sources are the
lower four bits of MCR instead of the four modem control inputs. Writing a 1 to any of them causes an
interrupt. The interrupts are still controlled by the IER.
3
This bit enables the interrupt when set. In local loopback mode, this bit controls bit 7 of the MSR.
2
This is the OUT1 bit. It does not have an output pin associated with it. It can be written to and read by
the CPU. In local loopback mode, this bit controls bit 6 of the MSR.
1
Controls the RTSJ output. In local loopback mode, this bit controls bit 4 of the MSR.
0
Controls the DTRJ output. In local loopback mode, this bit controls bit 5 of the MSR.
1 = DTRJ output is forced to 0
0 = DTRJ output is forced to 1

Whenever bit 0, 1, 2 or 3 is set to 1, a modem status interrupt is generated.
Trailing edge of ring indicator (TERI) detector indicates that the RIJ input of the chip has changed from
a low to high state.
Delta data set ready (DDSR) indicates that the DSRJ input to the chip has changed its state

rout to SIN1/SIN2 and SOUT1/SOUT2. Two additional pins,
IRRX and IRTX, are also provided.
5.10 Infrared Interface
5.10.1 Sharp-IR Mode
5.10.2 IrDA SIR Mode
This mode supports bidirectional data communication with a
remote device using infrared radiation as the transmission
medium. Sharp-IR uses Amplitude Shift Key (ASK) and
allows serial communication at baud rates up to 38.4K
Baud. The format of the serial data is similar to the UART
data format, a zero value start bit, followed by up to 8 data
bits, an optional parity bit, and ending with at least one stop
bit with a binary value of one. A zero is signalled by sending
a 500KHz continuous pulse train of infrared radiation. A one
is signalled by the absence of any infrared signal.
The device operation in Sharp-IR mode is similar to the
operation in UART. The main difference is that the data
transfer is normally performed in half duplex fashion, and
the modem control and status signals are not used.
Selection of this mode is controlled by the IR mode bits in
the UART’ s configuration space. Both UART1 and UART2
Page 62
This is an operation mode similar to Sharp-IR. The IrDA 1.0
SIR allows serial communication at baud rates up to 115.2K
Baud. The data format is the same as Sharp-IR mode
except no parity bit is needed. A zero is signalled by
sending a single infrared pulse. A one is signalled by not
sending any pulse. The width of each pulse is 3/16ths of a
single bit time.
The device operation in IrDA 1.0 SIR mode is similar to the
operation in UART. The main difference is that the data
transfer is normally performed in half duplex fashion, and
the modem control and status signals are not used.
Selection of this mode is controlled by the IR mode bits in
the UART’ s configuration space. Both UART1 and UART2
can be programmed in this mode. The transfer signals will

M512x : Mega I/O Controller with PnP
Keyboard Data Write
Host-to-CPU Communication
This is an 8 bit write only register. When written, the C/D
status bit of the status register is cleared to zero and the
IBF bit is set.
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.
Keyboard Data Read
This is an 8 bit read only register. If enabled by “ ENABLE
FLAGS” , 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.
KIRQ
Keyboard Command Write
This is an 8 bit write only register. When written, the C/D
status bit of the status register is set to one and the IBF bit
is set.
Keyboard Status Read
This is an 8 bit read only register. Refer to the description
of the Status Register for more information.
If “ ENFLAGS 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.
CPU-to-Host Communication
The heart of M512x can write to the Output Data register
via register DBB. A write to this register automatically sets
Bit 0 (OBF) in the Status register. See table below
Host Interface Flags
M8042
Instruction
OUT DBB
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 M512x
CPU has written to the output data register via “ OUT DBB,
A” . If P24 is set to a zero, KIRQ is forced low. At powerup, after a valid reset pulse has been delivered to the
device, KIRQ is reset to 0. KIRQ normally reflects the
status of “ DBB” .
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
M512x CPU has read the DBB register. If “ ENFLAGS has
not been executed : MIRQ and 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.)
Gate A20
A general purpose P21 can be routed out to the Common
I/O pin CIO14 for use as a software controlled Gate A20 or
user defined output.

M512x : Mega I/O Controller with PnP
External Keyboard and Mouse Interface
Hard Power Down Mode
Industry-standard PC-AT compatible keyboards employ a
two-wire,
bi-directional
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 M512x provides four
signal pins that may be used to implement this interface
directly for an external keyboard and mouse.
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, the 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
stabilize. Program execution will resume as above.
The M512x has four high-drive, open-drain output (1),
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 TESTO. P27 is inverted and output as
KDAT. The KDAT pin is connected to P70. 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 pull-ups
may be required.
Interrupts
The M512x provides the two M8042 interrupts. IBF and
the Timer/Counter Overflow.
Memory Configurations
The M512x provides 2K of on-chip ROM and 256 bytes of
on-chip RAM.
Register Definitions
Keyboard Power Management
Host I/F Data Register
The keyboard provides support for two power saving
modes: soft power down mode and hard power down
mode. In soft power down 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 M8042
is stopped. Efforts are made to reduce power wherever
possible.
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.
Soft Power Down Mode
Host I/F Status Register
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.
The Status register is 8 bits wide. Table below shows the
contents of the Status register.

M512x : Mega I/O Controller with PnP
n
Address Map
The memory consists of 242 general purpose RAM bytes,
10 RAM bytes which normally contain the time, calendar,
alarm data, and four control and status bytes. All 256
bytes are directly readable and writable by the processor
program except for the following: 1) Registers C and D are
read only. 2) bit 7 of Register A is read only and 3) the
high order bit of the seconds byte is read only. The
contents of four control and status registers (A, B, C, and
D) are described in Registers.
n
Set Operation
Before initialization of the internal registers of the M512x,
the SET bit in register B should be set to a 1 to prevent
RTC from updating. The CPU then initializes the first ten
locations in the selected format (binary or BCD). The SET
bit should then be cleared to allow updating. After
initialization and enabling, the M512x will perform clock
calendar updates in the selected data mode.
n
BCD and Binary Format
The 24/12 bit in register B determines whether the hour
locations will be updated using a 1-12 or 0-23 format.
After initialization, the 24/12 bit cannot be changed without
reinitializing the hour locations. In 12 hour format, the
high order bit of the hours byte indicates PM when it is a 1.
n
Alarm Operation
The three alarm bytes may be used in two ways. First,
when the program inserts an alarm time in the appropriate
hours, minutes, and seconds alarm locations, the alarm
interrupt is initiated at the specified time each day if the
alarm enable bit is high. The second usage is to insert a
"don't care" state in one or more of three alarm bytes. The
"don't care" code is in any byte from C0h to FFh. An
alarm interrupt each hour is created with "don't care" code
in the hours alarm location. Similarly, an alarm is
generated every minute with "don't care" codes in the
hours and minutes alarm bytes. The "don't care" codes in
all three alarm bytes create an interrupt every second.
n
Interrupts
The RTC plus RAM includes three separate fully automatic
sources of interrupts to the processor. The alarm interrupt
maybe programmed to occur at rates from one-per-second
to one-a-day. The periodic interrupt maybe selected for
rates from half-a-second to 30.517µs. The update ended
interrupt maybe used to indicate to the program that an
update cycle is completed.
The processor program selects which interrupts, if any, it
wishes to receive. Three bits in register B enable the three
interrupts. Writing a 1 to an interrupt enable bit permits
that interrupt to be initiated when the event occurs. A 0 in
the interrupt enable bit prohibits the IRQ pin from being
asserted due to the interrupt cause.
If an interrupt flag is already set when the interrupt
becomes enable, the IRQ pin is immediately activated,
though the interrupt initiating the event may have occurred
much earlier. Thus, there are cases where the program
should clear such earlier initiated interrupts before first
enabling new interrupts.
n
Divider Control
The divider control bits have three uses, as shown in Table
below.
Three usable operating time bases may be
selected. The divider chain maybe held reset, which
allows precision setting of the time. When the divider is
changed from reset to an operating time base, the first
update cycle is one-half second later.

Periodic Interrupt Selection
The periodic interrupt allows the IRQJ pin to be triggered
from once every 30.517µs. The periodic interrupt is
separate from the alarm interrupt which maybe outputted
from once-per-second to once-per-day.
Table below shows that the periodic interrupt rate is
selected with the same register A bits which select the
square-wave frequency.

Update Cycle
The RTC executes an update cycle one-per-second,
assuming one of the proper time bases is in place, the
DV2-DV0 divider is not clear, and the SET bit in register B
is clear. The SET bit in the 1 state permits the program to
initialize the time and calendar bytes by stopping an
existing update and preventing a new one from occurring.
The primary function of the update cycle is to increment
the second byte, check for overflow, increment the minutes
byte when appropriate and so forth through to the year of
the century byte. The update cycle also compares each
alarm byte with the corresponding time byte and issues an
alarm if a match or if a "don't care" code (11xxxxxx) is
present in all three positions.
With a 4.194304 MHz or 1.048576 MHz time base, the
update cycle takes 248µs while a 32.768 KHz time base
update cycle takes 1984 µs. During the update cycle, the
time, calendar and alarm bytes are not accessible by the
processor program. The RTC protects the program from
reading transitional data. This protection is provided by
switching the time, calendar and alarm portion of the RAM
off the microprocessor bus during the entire update cycle.
If the processor reads these RAM locations before the
update is complete, the output will be undefined. The
update in progress (UIP) status bit is set during the
interval.
Three methods of accommodating non-availability during
update are usable by the program. In discussing the three
methods, it is assumed that at random points user
programs are able to call a subroutine to obtain the time of
day.
The first method of avoiding the update cycle uses the
update ended interrupt. If enabled, an interrupt occurs
after every update cycle which indicates that over 999 ms
are available to read valid time and date information.
Before leaving the interrupt service routine, the IRQF bit in
register C should be cleared.
The second method uses the update in progress bit (UIP)
in register A to determine if the update cycle is in progress
or not. The UIP bit will pulse once-per-second. After the
UIP bit goes high, the update cycle begins 244 µs later.
Therefore, if a low is a read in the UIP bit, the user has at
least 244µs before the time/calendar data will be changed.
If a 1 is read in the UIP bit, the time/calendar data may not
be valid. The user should avoid interrupt service routines
that would cause the time needed to read valid
time/calendar data to exceed 244µs.

M512x : Mega I/O Controller with PnP
The third method uses a periodic interrupt to determine if
an update cycle is in progress. The UIP bit in register A is
set high between the setting of the PF bit in register C.
To properly setup the internal counters for daylight savings
time operation, the user must set the time at least two
seconds before the roll-over will occur. Likewise, the time
must be set at least two seconds before the end of the
29th or 30th day of the month.

Bits 3-0. The four rate selection bits select one of 15 taps
on the 22-stage divider, or disable the divider output. The
tap selected may be used to generate an output square
wave (SQW pin) and/or a periodic interrupt. The program
may do one of the following 1) enable the interrupt with the
PIE bit, 2) enable the SQW output pin with the SQWE bit,
3) enable both at the same time at the same rate, or 4)
enable neither. Table 7 lists the periodic interrupt rates
and the square wave frequencies that may be chosen with
the RS bits. These four bits are read/write bits which are
not affected by RESETJ.
Bits 6-4. Three bits are used to permit the program to
select various conditions of the 22 stage divider chain.
The divider selection bits identify which of the three timebase frequencies is in use. Table 6 shows that time bases
of 4.194304 MHz, 1.048576 MHz, and 32.768 KHz may be
used. The divider selection bits are also used to reset the
divider chain. When the time/calendar is first initialized,
the program may start the divider at the precise time
stored in the RAM. When the divider reset is removed, the
first update cycle begins one-half second later. These
three read/write bits are not affected by RESET.
Bit 7. The update in progress (UIP) bit is a status flag that
maybe monitored by the program. When UIP is a "1", the
update cycle is in progress or will begin. When UIP is a
"0", the update cycle is not in progress and will not be for
at least 244µs (for all time bases). The time, calendar,
and alarm information in RAM is fully available to the
program when the UIP bit is zero - it is not in transition.
The UIP bit is a read-only bit, and is not affected by Reset.
Writing the SET bit in Register B to a "1" inhibits any
update cycle and then clears the UIP status bit.

Register 0Bh
Bit 6. The periodic interrupt enable (PIE) bit is read/write
bit which allows the periodic-interrupt flag (PF) bit in
Register C to cause the IRQ pin to be driven low. A
program writes a "1" to the PIE bit in order to receive
periodic interrupts at the rate specified by the RS3, RS2,
RS1, and RS0 bits in Register A. A zero in PIE blocks
IRQ from being initiated by a periodic interrupt, but the
periodic flag (PF) bit is still set at the periodic rate. PIE is
not modified by any internal KS82C6818A functions, but is
cleared to "0" by a RESETJ.

DSE
Bit 0. The daylight savings enable (DSE) bit is a
read/write bit which allows the program to enable two
special updates (when DSE is a "1"). On the last Sunday
of April, the time increments from 1:59:59 AM to 3:00:00
AM. On the last Sunday of October when the time first
reaches 1:59:59 AM, it changes to 1:00:00 AM. These
special updates do not occur when the DSE bit is a "0".
DSE is not changed by any internal operations or rest.
Bit 7. When the SET bit is a "0", the update cycle
functions normally by advancing the counts once-persecond. When the SET bit is written to a "1", any update
cycle in progress is aborted and the program may initialize
the time and calendar bytes without an update occurring in
the midst of initializing. SET is a read/write bit which is not
modified by RESET or internal functions of the M512x.
Bit 1. The 24/12 control bit establishes the format of the
hours bytes as either the 24-hour mode (a "1") or the 12hours mode (a "0"). This is a read/write bit, which is
affected only by software.
Bit 2. The data mode (DM) bit indicates whether time and
calendar updates are to use binary or BCD formats. The
DM bit is written by the processor program and may be
read by the program, but is not modified by any internal
functions or RESET. A "1" in DM signifies binary data,
while a "0" in DM specifies binary-coded decimal (BCD)
data.
Bit 3. When the square-wave enable (SQWE) bit is set to
a "1" by the program, a square-wave signal at the
frequency specified in the rate selection bits (RS3 to RS0)
appears on the SQW pin. When the SQWE bit is set to a
zero, the SQW pin is held low. The state of SQWE is
cleared by the RESETJ pin. SQWE is a read/write bit.
Bit 4. The UIE (update-ended interrupt enable) bit is a
read/write bit which enables the update-end flag (UF) bit in
Register C to assert IRQ. The RESETJ pin going low or
the SET bit going high clears the UIE bit.
Bit 5. The alarm interrupt enable (AIE) bit is a read/write
bit which when set to a "1" permits the alarm flag (AF) bit
in Register C to assert IRQ. An alarm interrupt occurs for
each second that the three time bytes and the three alarm
bytes (including a "don't care" alarm code of binary
11xxxxxx). When the AIE bit is a "0", the AF bit does not
initiate an IRQ signal. The RESETJ pin clears AIE to "0".
The internal functions do not affect the AIE bit.

Bits 3-0. The unused bits of Status Register C are read
as 0's and cannot be written.
Bits 6-0. The remaining bits of Register D are unused.
They cannot be written, but are always read as 0's.
Bit 4. The update-ended interrupt flag (UF) bit is set after
each update cycle. When the UIE bit is a "1", the "1" in UF
causes the IRQF bit to be a "1", asserting IRQ, UF is
cleared by a Register C read or a RESETJ.
Bit 7. The valid RAM and time (VRT) bit indicates the
condition of the contents of the RAM, provided the VBAT is
satisfactorily connected. A "0" appears in the VRT bit
when the VBAT is low. The processor program can set
the VRT bit when the time and calendar are initialized to
indicate that the RAM and time are valid. The VRT is a
read only bit which is not modified by the RESETJ pin.
The VRT bit can only be set by reading Register D.
Bit 5. A "1" in the AF (alarm interrupt flag) bit indicates
that the current time has matched the alarm time. A "1" in
the AF causes the IRQ pin to go low, and a "1" to appear
in the IRQF bit, when the AIE bit also is a "1". A reset or a
read of Register C clears AF.
Bit 6. The periodic interrupt flag (PF) is a read-only bit
which is set to a "1" when a particular edge is detected on
the selected tap of the divider chain. The RS3 to RS0 bits
establish the periodic rate. PF is set to a "1" independent
of the state of the PIE bit. PF being a "1" initiates and IRQ
signal and sets the IRQF bit when PIE is also a "1". The
PF bit is cleared by a /RESET/ or a software read of
Register C.
Bit 7. The interrupt request flag (IRQF) is set to a "1"
when one or more of the following are true :
PF = PIE = "1"
AF = AID = "1"
UF = AIE = "1"
Any time the IRQF bit is a "1", the IRQ pin is driven low.
All flag bits are cleared after Register C is read by the
program when the RESET pin is low.

7.1 BIOS BUFFER
The M512x contains one 245 type buffer that can be used for a BIOS Buffer. If the BIOS buffer is not used,
then ROMCSJ and ROMOEJ must be tied high so as not to interfere with the boot ROM.
This function allows data transmission from the RD bus to the SD bus or from the SD bus to the RD bus. The

8.2 IBM XT/AT Compatible, Bi-Directional and EPP
Modes
DATA PORT
Address Offset = 00H
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 IOWJ 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.
STATUS PORT
Address Offset = 01H
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 IORJ 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
µsec time out has occurred on the EPP bus. A logic 0
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.
Page 78
BITS 1, 2 - are not implemented as register bits. During a
read of the Printer Status Register, these bits are at low level.
BIT 3 ERRJ - ERRORJ
The level on the ERRORJ 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.
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.
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.
BIT 6 ACKJ - ACKNOWLEDGEJ
The level on the ACKJ 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.
BIT 7 BUSYJ - BUSYJ
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.

CONTROL PORT
Address Offset = 02H
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.
BIT 0 STROBE - STROBE
This bit is inverted and output onto the STROBEJ output.
BIT 1 AUTOFD - AUTOFEED
This bit is inverted and output onto the AUTOFDJ 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 INITJ - INITIATE OUTPUTJ
This bit is output onto the INITJ output without inversion.
BIT 3 SLCTIN - PRINTER SELECT INPUT
This bit is inverted and output onto the SLCTINJ output. A
logic 1 on this bit selects the printer; a logic 0 means the
printer is not selected.
BIT 4 IRQE - INTERRUPT REQUEST ENABLE
The interrupt request enable bit when set to a high level may
be used to enalbe interrupt requests from the Parallel Port to
the CPU. An interrupt request is generated on the IRQ port
by a positive going ACKJ input. When the IRQE bit is
programmed low the IRQ is disabled.
BIT 5 PCD - PARALLEL CONTROL DIRECTION
Parallel Control Direction is valid in extended mode only
(CRC<7> = 0). In printer mode, the direction is always out
regardless of the state of this bit. In bi-directional 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).
EPP DATA PORT 0
Address Offset = 04H
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 IOWJ
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. To maintain compatibility with Intel’ s 82360SL
device that has 32-bit Host bus interface, four consecutive
byte address locations (data port 0~4) are provided for
transferring data.
EPP DATA PORT 1
Address Offset = 05H
The EPP Data Port 1 is located at an offset of ‘ 05H’ from
the base address. Please refer to EPP DATA PORT 0 for a
description of operation. This register is only available in

EPP DATA PORT 2
Address Offset = 06H
The EPP Data Port 2 is located at an offset of ‘ 06H’ from
the base address. Please refer to EPP DATA PORT 0 for a

EPP Operation
Address Offset = 03H
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 DB0-DB7 are buffered (non inverting) and output
onto the PDO - PD7 ports, the leading edge of IOWJ 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, PDO -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.
When the EPP mode is selected in the configuration register,
the standard and bi-directional modes are also available. If
no EPP 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.
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 10
usec have elapsed from the start of the EPP cycle (IORJ or
IOWJ asserted) WAITJ will be deasserted. If a time-out
occurs, the current EPP cycle is aborted and the time-out
condition is indicated in Status bit 0.

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. 1.09, Jan. 7, 1993.
This document is available from Microsoft.
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, rather it provides an automatic high burst-bandwidth channel that supports DMA for ECP in both the forward and
reverse directions.
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. Decompression 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
During write operations StrobeJ registers data or address into the
slave on the asserting edge (handshakes with Busy).
Contains address or data or RLE data.
Indicates valid data driven by the peripheral when asserted. This signal handshakes with
AutoFdJ in reverse.
This signal deasserts to indicate that the peripheral can accept data. This signal handshakes
with StrobeJ 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 StrobeJ. PeriphAck also
provides command information in the reverse direction.
Used to acknowledge a change in the direction of the transfer (asserted= forward). The peripheral
drives this signal low to acknowledge ReverseRequestJ. It is an "interlocked" handshake with
ReverseRequestJ. The host relies upon AckReverseJ to determine when it is permitted to drive
the data bus.
Indicates printer on line.
Requests a byte of data from the peripheral when asserted, handshaking with AckJ in the reverse
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
AckJ. HostAck also provides command information in the forward phase.
Generates an error interrupt when asserted. This signal provides a mechanism or peer-to-peer
communication. This signal is valid only in the forward direction. During ECP mode, the
peripheral is permitted (but not required) to level this pin 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.
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 bidirectional data bus while in ECP Mode and HostAck is low and SelectlnJ is high.
Always deasserted in ECP mode.
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 decode of the standard LPT port definition 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 than those specified
is undefined.

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
IOWJ 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.
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 transmits this byte to the peripheral automatically. The
operation of this register is only 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 FaultJ
The level on the Fault 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.
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 AckJ
The level on the AckJ input is read by the CPU as bit 6 of
the Device Status Register.
BIT 7 BusyJ
The complement of the level on the BUSY input is read by
the CPU as bit 7 of the Device Status Register.
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 being affected; bits 6-7 are read
as 0.
BIT 0 STROBE - STROBE
This bit is inverted and output onto the STROBEJ output.
BIT 1 AUTOFD - AUTOFEED
This bit is inverted and output onto the AUTOFDJ 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 INITJ - INITIATE OUTPUT
This bit is output onto the INITJ output without inversion.
BIT 3 SELECTIN
This bit is inverted and output onto the SLCTINJ output. A
logic 1 on this bit selects the printer; a logic 0 means the
printer is not selected.
BIT 4 acklntEn - 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 ACKJ input.
Refer to the description of the interrupt under Operation,
Interrupts.
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.
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.

M512x : Mega I/O Controller with PnP
ECPDFIFO (ECP Data FIFO)
Address Offset = 400h
CNFGA (Configuration Register A) 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.
Mode = 111
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)
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.
CNFGB (Configuration Register B) Address Offset = 401H
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.
Data in the tFIFO will not be transmitted to the parallel port
lines using a hardware protocol handshake. However, data
in the tFIFO may be displayed on the parallel port data lines.
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 re-read
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.
The FIFO size and interrupt threshold can be determined by
writing bytes to the FIFO and checking the full and
servicelntr bits.
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.

The writelntr Threshold can be determined by starting with a
full tFIFO, setting the direction bit to 0 and emptying it a
byte at a time until servicelntr is set. This may generate a
spurious interrupt, but will indicate that the threshold has
been reached.
ECR (Extended Control Register) Address Offset = 402H
The readlntr Threshold can be determined by setting the
direction bit to 1 and filling the empty tFIFO a byte at a time
until servicelntr is set. This may generate a spurious
interrupt, but will indicate that the threshold has been
reached.
BITS 7, 6, 5
These bits are Read/Write and select the Mode.
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.

This register controls the extended ECP parallel port
functions.
BIT 4 ErrlntrEnJ

1: Disables the interrupt generated on the asserting edge of
FaultJ.
0: Enables an interrupt pulse on the high to low edge of
FaultJ. Note that an interrupt will be generated if Fault 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.

Mode
Standard Parallel Port mode. In this mode, the
FIFO is reset and common collector drivers are
used on the control lines (StrobeJ, AutoFdJ,
InitJ and SelectlnJ). Setting the direction bit
will not tri-state the output drivers in this mode.
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).
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).
ECP Parallel Port Mode. In the forward
direction(0), bytes placed into the ecpDFifo and
bytes written to the ecpAFifo are placed in a
single FIFO and transmitted automatically to
the peripheral using ECP Protocol. In the
reverse direction (1), bytes are moved from the

ecpDFifo. All drivers have active pull-ups
(push-pull).

Reserved
Test Mode. In this mode, the FIFO may be
written and read, but the data will not be
transmitted on the parallel port. All drivers have
active pull-ups (push-pull).
Configuration Mode. In this mode the confgA,
confgB registers are accessible at 0x400 and
0x401. All drivers have active pull-ups (pushpull).
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).
Setting the mode to 011 or 010 will cause the hardware to
initiate data transfer.
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 to mode 000 or 001. The direction can only be
changed in mode 001.
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 loose data
that will be eliminated. 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 AutoFdJ 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 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.
After negotiation, it is necessary to initialize some of the port
bits. The following are required:
. Set Direction = 0, enabling the drivers.
. Set strobe = 0, causing the StrobeJ signal to default to the
deasserted state.
. Set autoFd = 0, causing the AutoFdJ signal to default to
the deasserted state.
. Set mode = 011 (ECP Mode)
ECP address/RLE bytes or data bytes may be sent
automatically by writing the ECPAFIFO or ECPDFIFO
respectively.
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.

M512x : Mega I/O Controller with PnP
Data Compression
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.
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 changed into the forward
direction.
The M512x 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.
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.
Pin Definition
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 forward direction, normal data is transferred
when HostAck is high and an 8-bit command is transferred
when HostAck is low.
The most significant bit of the command indicates whether it
is a run-length count (for compression) or a channel
address.
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.

The drivers for StrobeJ, AutoFdJ, InitJ and SelectlnJ 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 if 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.
Interrupts
The interrupts are enabled by servicelntr in the ecr register.
servicelntr = 1 Disables the DMA and all of
interrupts.
the service
servicelntr = 0 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.
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.

M512x : Mega I/O Controller with PnP
An interrupt is generated when :
DMA Transfers
1. For DMA transfers: When servicelntr is 0, dmaEn is 1 and
the DMA TC is received.
2. For Programmed I/O:
a. When servicelntr is 0, dmaEn is 0, direction is 0 and
ther are writelntr Threshold or more free bytes in the FIFO.
Also, an interrupt is generated when servicelntr is cleared
to 0 whenever there are writelntr Threshold or more free
bytes in the FIFO.
b. (1) When servicelntr is 0, dmaEn is 0, direction is 1
and there are readlntr Threshold or more bytes in the FIFO.
Also, an interrupt is generated when servicelntr is cleared to
0 whenever there are readlntr Threshold or more bytes in the
FIFO.
3. When nErrlntrEn is 0 and nFault transitions from high to
low or when nErrlntrEn is set from 1 to 0 and nFault is
asserted.
4. When acklntEn is 1 and the nAck signal transitions from a
low to a high.
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 Model. (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 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.
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.
Page 90
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 servicelntr
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 and servicelntr 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 PDACKJ 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 PDACKJ is deasserted for a minimum
of 350 nsec. (Note: The only way to properly terminate
DMA transfers is with a TC.)
DMA may be disabled in the middle of a transfer by first
disabling the host DMA controller. Then setting servicelntr
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 servicelntr to 0.
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 turns out of data to transfer, even if the
chip continues to request more data from the peripheral.)
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 PDACKJ), indicating that no
more data is required. PDRQ goes inactive after PDACKJ
goes active for the last byte of a data transfer (or on the
active edge of IORJ, on the last byte, if no edge is present
on PDACKJ). If PDRQ goes inactive due to the FIFO going
empty, 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 servicelntr 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
The ECP or parallel port FIFOs may also be operated using
interrupt driven programmed I/O. Software can determine
the writelntrThreshold, readlntrThreshold, and FIFO depth
by accessing the FIFO in Test Mode.
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 servicelntr to 0.
The ECP requests programmed I/O transfers from the host
by activating the PINTR point. The programmed I/O will
empty or fill the FIFO using the appropriate direction and
mode.
Note: A threshold of 16 is equivalent to a threshold of 15.
These two cases are treated the same.
Programmed I/O - Transfers from the FIFO to the Host
In the reverse direction an interrupt occurs when servicelntr
is 0 and readlntr Threshold bytes are available in the FIFO.
If at this time the FIFO is full it can be emptied completely in
a single burst, otherwise readlntr Threshold bytes may be
read from the FIFO in a single burst.
Programmed I/O - Transfers from the Host to the FIFO
In the forward direction, an interrupt occurs when servicelntr
is 0 and there are writelntrThreshold or more bytes free in
the FIFO. At this time if the FIFO is empty it can be filled
with a single burst before the empty bit need to be re-read.
Otherwise it may be filled with writelntrThreshold bytes.
The FIFO threshold value is selected via <THR> = <CRA
bit7-4>
16 data bytes FIFO, if <THR>=0
The readIntr Threshold = {
<THR> data bytes FIFO, if

For example, if the <THR>=4, then the serviceIntr is set

CIO registers CIO1, CIO2 and CIO3 can be accessed by the host when the chip is in the normal run mode; i.e., not in the
configuration mode. The host uses an index and data register to access the CIO registers. The power on default index and data
registers are 0xEA and 0xEB respectively. When the chip is in configuration mode, these index and data registers are used to
access the internal configuration registers. In configuration mode, the index address may be programmed to reside on address
0xE0, 0xE2, 0xE4 or 0xEA. The data address is automatically set to the index address + 1. Upon exiting the configuration mode,
the new Index and Data registers are used to access registers CIO1, CIO2 and CIO3.
To access the CIO1 register the host should first make sure the chip is in the normal (run) mode. Then it should perform an IOW
of 0x01 to the Index register (at 0xEX) to select CIO1 and then read or write the Data register (at Index+1) to access the CIO1
register.
To access CIO2 the host should perform an IOW of 0x02 to the Index register and then access CIO2 through the Data register.
To access CIO3 the host should perform an IOW of 0x03 to the Index register and then access CIO3 through the Data register.

M512x : Mega I/O Controller with PnP
Common I/O Configuration Registers
Assigned to each CIO port is an 8-bit CIO configuration register which is used to independently program each I/O port. The CIO
configuration registers are only accessible when the M512x is in the configuration mode. Configuration section of this
specification contains more details.
Reading and Writing CIO Ports
When a CIO port is programmed as an input, reading it through the CIO register latches either the inverted or non-inverted logic
value present at the CIO pin; writing to it has no effect. When a CIO port is programmed as an output, the logic value written into
the CIO register is either output to or inverted to the CIO pin; when read the result will reflect the contents of the CIO register bit.
This is summarized in Table 9-1.

GATEA20
GateA20 is an internal signal from the Keyboard controller (Port 21). The M512x may be configured to drive this signal onto
CIO14 by programming its CIO configuration register.
KBC RC Reset
KBC RC is an internal signal from the Keyboard controller (Port 20). The M512x may be configured to drive this signal onto CIO15
by programming its CIO configuration register.
The M512x provides a set of flexible Input/Output control functions to the system designer through a set of Common I/O pins
(CIO). These CIO pins may perform simple I/O or may be individually configured to provide a predefined alternate function.
Power on reset configures all CIO pins as simple non-inverting inputs.

10.3 AC Characteristics
TA = 0oC to +70oC, VDD = +5V ± 5%.
All AC timings can be met with current loads that do not exceed 3.2 mA or -8 uA at 100 pF capacitive loading. For capacitive
loads that exceed 100 pF, the following typical derating factors should be used:
100 pF < CL ≤150 pF, t = (0.10 ns/pF) (CL - 100 pF) typical
150 pF < CL ≤ 200 pF, t = (0.08 ns/pF) (CL - 100 pF) and
t = (0.5 ns/mA) (ISINK mA) or t = -(0.5 ns/mA) (ISOURCE mA)
tSOURCE is always negative, ISINK ≤4.8 mA, ISOURCE ≤ -120 uA, CL ≤ 250 pF.
Table 10-4 lists the AC Characteristics of the M512x.

10.4 AC Test Conditions
In Table 10-5, CL = 100 pF. This includes jig and scope
capacitance. S1 is open for push-pull outputs. S1 is equal
to VCC for high impedance to active low, and active low to
high impedance measurements. S1 is equal to GND for
high impedance to active high, and active high to high
impedance measurements.
RL = 1.0 kohm for CPU
interface pins. For the open drain drive interface pins S1 =
VCC and RL = 150 ohms.

DMA Timing
DMA acknowledge is sufficient to acknowledge a data
transfer. Read or write strobes are necessary only if data is
presented to the data bus. If read/write strobes are applied,

Note:
then the read/write strobes and the acknowledge must be
removed within 1 us of each other.

The terminal count pin (TC) terminates the data transfer operation. There are several constraints placed on the timing
of TC. 1) TC is enabled by DAKJ, so TC must be pulsed while DAKJ is low. 2) TC must occur before ((1/data rate x 8)
- 1 us). Data rate is the exact data transfer rate being used.
