GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The FDC37C93xFR with Fast IR support  
incorporates a keyboard interface, real-time  
clock, SMSC's true CMOS 765B floppy disk  
controller, advanced digital data separator, 16  
byte data FIFO, two 16C550 compatible UARTs,  
one Multi-Mode parallel port which includes  
ChiProtect circuitry plus EPP and ECP support,  
IDE interface, on-chip 24 mA AT bus drivers,  
game port chip select and two floppy direct drive  
support, as well as ACCESS.bus, soft power  
management and SMI support. The true CMOS  
765B core provides 100% compatibility with IBM  
PC/XT and PC/AT architectures in addition to  
providing data overflow and underflow  
protection. The SMSC advanced digital data  
separator incorporates SMSC's patented data  
separator technology, allowing for ease of  
testing and use. Both on-chip UARTs are  
compatible with the NS16C550. The parallel  
port, the IDE interface, and the game port select  
logic are compatible with IBM PC/AT  
architecture, as well as EPP and ECP. The  
power control circuitry (PCC). The PCC  
supports multiple low power down modes. The  
FDC37C93xFR provides support for the ISA  
Plug-and-Play Standard (Version 1.0a) and  
provides for the recommended functionality to  
support Windows '95. Through internal  
configuration  
registers,  
each  
of  
the  
FDC37C93xFR's logical device's I/O address,  
DMA channel and IRQ channel may be  
programmed.  
There are 480 I/O address  
location options, 13 IRQ options, and three DMA  
channel options for each logical device. The  
FDC37C93xFR does not require any external  
filter components and is, therefore, easy to use  
and offers lower system cost and reduced board  
area.  
The FDC37C93xFR is software and  
register compatible with SMSC's proprietary  
82077AA core.

Note 0:  
The interrupt request is output on one of the IRQx signals as 024 buffer type. If EPP or  
ECP Mode is enabled, this output is pulsed low, then released to allow sharing of interrupts.  
In this case, the buffer type is OD24. Refer to the configuration section for more  
information.  
Note 1:  
nCS -This pin is the active low chip select; it must be low for all chip accesses. For 12 bit  
addressing, SA0:SA11, this input should be tied to GND. For 16 bit address qualification,  
address bits SA12:SA15 can be "ORed" together and applied to this pin. If IDE2 is not  
used, SA12 can be connected to nCS, pin 27 to SA13, pin 28 to SA14 and pin 29 to SA15  
nYY - The "n" as the first letter of a signal name indicates an "Active Low" signal  
nHDCS2 and nHDCS3 require a pull-up to ensure a logic high at power-up when used for  
IDE2 until the Active Bit is set to 1.

Note 1: At power-up, RD0-RD7, nROMCS and nROMOE function as the XD Bus. To use RD0-RD7  
for functions other than the XD Bus, nROMCS must stay high until those pins are finished  
being reprogrammed.  
Note 2: These pins are input (high-z) until programmed for second serial port.  
Note 3: This is the trickle voltage input pin for the FDC37C93xFR.  
Note 4: These pins cannot be programmed as open drain pins in their original function.  
Note 5: No pins in their original function can be programmed as inverted input or inverted output.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
SUPER I/O REGISTERS  
HOST PROCESSOR INTERFACE  
The address map, shown below in Table 2,  
shows the addresses of the different blocks of  
the Super I/O immediately after power up. The  
base addresses of the FDC, IDE, serial and  
parallel ports, Bank 2 of the RTC registers,  
auxiliary I/O and ACCESS.bus can be moved  
via the configuration registers. Some addresses  
are used to access more than one register.  
The host processor communicates with the  
FDC37C93xFR through a series of read/write  
registers. The port addresses for these registers  
are shown in Table 2. Register access is  
accomplished through programmed I/O or DMA  
transfers. All registers are 8 bits wide except  
the IDE data register at port 1F0H which is 16  
bits wide. All host interface output buffers are  
capable of sinking a minimum of 12 mA.

FLOPPY DISK CONTROLLER  
FDC INTERNAL REGISTERS  
The Floppy Disk Controller (FDC) provides the  
interface between a host microprocessor and  
the floppy disk drives. The FDC integrates the  
functions of the Formatter/Controller, Digital  
Data Separator, Write Precompensation and  
Data Rate Selection logic for an IBM XT/AT  
compatible FDC. The true CMOS 765B core  
guarantees 100% IBM PC XT/AT compatibility  
in addition to providing data overflow and  
underflow protection.  
The Floppy Disk Controller contains eight  
internal registers which facilitate the interfacing  
between the host microprocessor and the disk  
drive. Table 3 shows the addresses required to  
access these registers. Registers other than the  
ones shown are not supported. The rest of the  
description assumes that the primary addresses  
have been selected.  
The FDC is compatible to the 82077AA using  
SMSC's proprietary floppy disk controller core.

BIT 0 and 1 DRIVE SELECT  
BIT 4 MOTOR ENABLE 0  
These two bits are binary encoded for the four  
drive selects DS0 -DS3, thereby allowing only  
one drive to be selected at one time.  
This bit controls the MTR0 disk interface output.  
A logic "1" in this bit will cause the output pin to  
go active.  
BIT 2 nRESET  
BIT 5 MOTOR ENABLE 1  
A logic "0" written to this bit resets the Floppy  
disk controller. This reset will remain active  
until a logic "1" is written to this bit. This  
software reset does not affect the DSR and CCR  
registers, nor does it affect the other bits of the  
DOR register. The minimum reset duration  
required is 100ns, therefore toggling this bit by  
consecutive writes to this register is a valid  
method of issuing a software reset.  
This bit controls the MTR1 disk interface output.  
A logic "1" in this bit will cause the output pin to  
go active.  
BIT 6 MOTOR ENABLE 2  
This bit controls the MTR2 disk interface output.  
A logic "1" in this bit will cause the output pin to  
go active.  
BIT 7 MOTOR ENABLE 3  
BIT 3 DMAEN  
This bit controls the MTR3 disk interface output.  
A logic "1" in this bit causes the output to go  
active.  
PC/AT and Model 30 Mode: Writing this bit to  
logic "1" will enable the DRQ, nDACK, TC and  
FINTR outputs. When this bit is a logic "0" it  
disables the nDACK and TC inputs, and holds

applications can set the data rate in the DSR.  
The data rate of the floppy controller is the most  
recent write of either the DSR or CCR. The DSR  
is unaffected by a software reset. A hardware  
reset will set the DSR to 02H, which  
corresponds to the default precompensation  
setting and 250 Kbps.

- 1.5 ms = DELAY  
All command parameter information, disk data

through the Data Register.  
DATA RATE  
At the start of a command, the FIFO action is  
always disabled and command parameters  
must be sent based upon the RQM and DIO bit  
settings. As the command execution phase is  
entered, the FIFO is cleared of any data to  
ensure that invalid data is not transferred.  
Data transfers are governed by the RQM and  
DIO bits in the Main Status Register.  
The Data Register defaults to FIFO disabled  
mode after any form of reset. This maintains  
PC/AT hardware compatibility.  
values can be changed through the Configure  
command (enable full FIFO operation with  
threshold control). The advantage of the FIFO  
is that it allows the system a larger DMA latency  
without causing a disk error. Table 15 gives  
several examples of the delays with a  
An overrun or underrun will terminate the

RESET  
DOR Reset vs. DSR Reset (Software Reset)  
There are three sources of system reset on the  
FDC: the RESET pin of the FDC, a reset  
generated via a bit in the DOR, and a reset  
generated via a bit in the DSR. At power on, a  
Power On Reset initializes the FDC. All resets  
take the FDC out of the power down state.  
These two resets are functionally the same.  
Both will reset the FDC core, which affects drive  
status information and the FIFO circuits. The  
DSR reset clears itself automatically while the  
DOR reset requires the host to manually clear it.  
DOR reset has precedence over the DSR reset.  
The DOR reset is set automatically upon a pin  
reset. The user must manually clear this reset  
bit in the DOR to exit the reset state.  
All operations are terminated upon a RESET,  
and the FDC enters an idle state. A reset while  
a disk write is in progress will corrupt the data  
and CRC.  
MODES OF OPERATION  
On exiting the reset state, various internal  
registers are cleared, including the Configure  
command information, and the FDC waits for a  
new command. Drive polling will start unless  
disabled by a new Configure command.  
The FDC has three modes of operation, PC/AT  
mode, PS/2 mode and Model 30 mode. These  
are determined by the state of the IDENT and  
MFM bits 6 and 5 respectively of CRxx.  
PC/AT mode - (IDENT high, MFM a "don't  
care")  
RESET Pin (Hardware Reset)  
The RESET pin is a global reset and clears all  
registers except those programmed by the  
The PC/AT register set is enabled, the DMA

enabled and must be cleared by the host to exit  
the reset state.  
The DOR reset bit is  
and DRQ can be hi Z), and TC and DENSEL  
become active high signals.  
35  
Burst mode is enabled via Bit[1] of CRF0 in  
Logical Device 0. Setting Bit[1]=0 enables burst  
mode; the default is Bit[1]=1, for non-burst  
mode.  
PS/2 mode - (IDENT low, MFM high)  
This mode supports the PS/2 models 50/60/80  
configuration and register set. The DMA bit of  
the DOR becomes a "don't care" (FINTR and  
DRQ are always valid), TC and DENSEL  
become active low.  
CONTROLLER PHASES  
For simplicity, command handling in the FDC  
can be divided into three phases: Command,  
Execution, and Result. Each phase is described  
in the following sections.  
Model 30 mode - (IDENT low, MFM low)  
This mode supports PS/2 Model 30  
configuration and register set. The DMA enable  
bit of the DOR becomes valid (FINTR and DRQ  
can be hi Z), TC is active high and DENSEL is  
active low.  
Command Phase  
After a reset, the FDC enters the command  
phase and is ready to accept a command from  
the host. For each of the commands, a defined  
set of command code bytes and parameter  
bytes has to be written to the FDC before the  
command phase is complete. (Please refer to  
Table 19 for the command set descriptions.)  
These bytes of data must be transferred in the  
order prescribed.  
DMA TRANSFERS  
DMA transfers are enabled with the Specify  
command and are initiated by the FDC by  
activating the FDRQ pin during a data transfer  
command. The FIFO is enabled directly by  
asserting nDACK and addresses need not be  
valid.  
Note that if the DMA controller (i.e. 8237A) is  
programmed to function in verify mode, a  
pseudo read is performed by the FDC based  
only on nDACK. This mode is only available  
when the FDC has been configured into byte  
mode (FIFO disabled) and is programmed to do  
a read. With the FIFO enabled, the FDC can  
perform the above operation by using the new  
Verify command; no DMA operation is needed.  
Before writing to the FDC, the host must  
examine the RQM and DIO bits of the Main  
Status Register. RQM and DIO must be equal  
to "1" and "0" respectively before command  
bytes may be written. RQM is set false by the  
FDC after each write cycle until the received  
byte is processed. The FDC asserts RQM again  
to request each parameter byte of the command  
unless an illegal command condition is  
detected.  
After the last parameter byte is  
The FDC37C93xFR supports two DMA transfer  
modes for the FDC: Single Transfer and Burst  
Transfer. In the case of the single transfer, the  
DMA Req goes active at the start of the DMA  
cycle, and the DMA Req is deasserted after the  
nDACK. In the case of the burst transfer, the  
Req is held active until the last transfer  
(independent of nDACK). See timing diagrams  
for more information.  
received, RQM remains "0" and the FDC  
automatically enters the next phase as defined  
by the command definition.  
The FIFO is disabled during the command  
phase to provide for the proper handling of the  
"Invalid Command" condition.  
36  
and RQM can be used for polled systems. The  
host must respond to the request by reading  
data from the FIFO. This process is repeated  
until the last byte is transferred out of the FIFO.  
The FDC will deactivate the FINT pin and RQM  
bit when the FIFO becomes empty.  
Execution Phase  
All data transfers to or from the FDC occur  
during the execution phase, which can proceed  
in DMA or non-DMA mode as indicated in the  
Specify command.  
Non-DMA Mode - Transfers from the Host to the  
FIFO  
After a reset, the FIFO is disabled. Each data  
byte is transferred by an FINT or FDRQ  
depending on the DMA mode. The Configure  
command can enable the FIFO and set the  
FIFO threshold value.  
The FINT pin and RQM bit in the Main Status  
Register are activated upon entering the  
execution phase of data transfer commands.  
The host must respond to the request by writing  
data into the FIFO. The FINT pin and RQM bit  
remain true until the FIFO becomes full. They  
are set true again when the FIFO has  
<threshold> bytes remaining in the FIFO. The  
FINT pin will also be deactivated if TC and  
nDACK both go inactive. The FDC enters the  
result phase after the last byte is taken by the  
FDC from the FIFO (i.e. FIFO empty condition).  
The following paragraphs detail the operation of  
the FIFO flow control. In these descriptions,  
<threshold> is defined as the number of bytes  
available to the FDC when service is requested  
from the host and ranges from 1 to 16. The  
parameter FIFOTHR, which the user programs,  
is one less and ranges from 0 to 15.  
A low threshold value (i.e. 2) results in longer  
periods of time between service requests, but  
requires faster servicing of the request for both  
read and write cases. The host reads (writes)  
from (to) the FIFO until empty (full), then the  
transfer request goes inactive. The host must  
be very responsive to the service request. This  
is the desired case for use with a "fast" system.  
DMA Mode - Transfers from the FIFO to the  
Host  
The FDC activates the DDRQ pin when the  
FIFO contains (16 - <threshold>) bytes, or the  
last byte of a full sector transfer has been  
placed in the FIFO. The DMA controller must  
respond to the request by reading data from the  
FIFO. The FDC will deactivate the DDRQ pin  
when the FIFO becomes empty. FDRQ goes  
inactive after nDACK goes active for the last  
byte of a data transfer (or on the active edge of  
nIOR, on the last byte, if no edge is present on  
nDACK). A data underrun may occur if FDRQ  
is not removed in time to prevent an unwanted  
cycle.  
A high value of threshold (i.e. 12) is used with a  
"sluggish" system by affording a long latency  
period after a service request, but results in  
more frequent service requests.  
Non-DMA Mode - Transfers from the FIFO to  
the Host  
The FINT pin and RQM bits in the Main Status  
Register are activated when the FIFO contains  
(16-<threshold>) bytes or the last bytes of a full  
sector have been placed in the FIFO. The FINT  
pin can be used for interrupt-driven systems,  
DMA Mode - Transfers from the Host to the  
FIFO  
37  
The FDC activates the FDRQ pin when entering  
the execution phase of the data transfer  
commands. The DMA controller must respond  
by activating the nDACK and nIOW pins and  
placing data in the FIFO. FDRQ remains active  
until the FIFO becomes full. FDRQ is again set  
true when the FIFO has <threshold> bytes  
remaining in the FIFO. The FDC will also  
deactivate the FDRQ pin when TC becomes true  
(qualified by nDACK), indicating that no more  
data is required. FDRQ goes inactive after  
nDACK goes active for the last byte of a data  
transfer (or on the active edge of nIOW of the  
last byte, if no edge is present on nDACK). A  
data overrun may occur if FDRQ is not removed  
in time to prevent an unwanted cycle.  
received. The only difference between these  
implicit functions and TC is that they return  
"abnormal termination" result status.  
Such  
status indications can be ignored if they were  
expected.  
Note that when the host is sending data to the  
FIFO of the FDC, the internal sector count will  
be complete when the FDC reads the last byte  
from its side of the FIFO. There may be a delay  
in the removal of the transfer request signal of  
up to the time taken for the FDC to read the last  
16 bytes from the FIFO. The host must tolerate  
this delay.  
Result Phase  
Data Transfer Termination  
The generation of FINT determines the  
beginning of the result phase. For each of the  
commands, a defined set of result bytes has to  
be read from the FDC before the result phase is  
complete. These bytes of data must be read out  
for another command to start.  
The FDC supports terminal count explicitly  
through the TC pin and implicitly through the  
underrun/overrun and end-of-track (EOT)  
functions. For full sector transfers, the EOT  
parameter can define the last sector to be  
transferred in a single or multi-sector transfer.  
RQM and DIO must both equal "1" before the  
result bytes may be read. After all the result  
bytes have been read, the RQM and DIO bits  
switch to "1" and "0" respectively, and the CB bit  
is cleared, indicating that the FDC is ready to  
accept the next command.  
If the last sector to be transferred is a partial  
sector, the host can stop transferring the data in  
mid-sector, and the FDC will continue to  
complete the sector as if a hardware TC was

Status command which returns an invalid

Refer to Table 19 for  
Commands can be written whenever the FDC is  
in the command phase. Each command has a  
unique set of needed parameters and status  
results. The FDC checks to see that the first  
byte is a valid command and, if valid, proceeds  
with the command. If it is invalid, an interrupt

By setting N to zero (00), DTL may be used to control the number  
of bytes transferred in disk read/write commands. The sector size  
(N = 0) is set to 128. If the actual sector (on the diskette) is larger  
than DTL, the remainder of the actual sector is read but is not  
passed to the host during read commands; during write  
commands, the remainder of the actual sector is written with all

SC is returned if the last command that was issued was the Format command. EOT is returned if the  
last command was a Read or Write.

CRC bytes, and at the end of the sector,  
terminate the Read Data Command.  
DATA TRANSFER COMMANDS  
All of the Read Data, Write Data and Verify type  
commands use the same parameter bytes and  
return the same results information, the only  
difference being the coding of bits 0-4 in the first  
byte.  
N determines the number of bytes per sector  
(see Table 22 below). If N is set to zero, the  
sector size is set to 128. The DTL value  
determines the number of bytes to be  
transferred. If DTL is less than 128, the FDC  
transfers the specified number of bytes to the  
host. For reads, it continues to read the entire  
128-byte sector and checks for CRC errors. For  
writes, it completes the 128-byte sector by filling  
in zeros. If N is not set to 00 Hex, DTL should  
be set to FF Hex and has no impact on the  
number of bytes transferred.  
An implied seek will be executed if the feature  
was enabled by the Configure command. This  
seek is completely transparent to the user. The  
Drive Busy bit for the drive will go active in the  
Main Status Register during the seek portion of  
the command. If the seek portion fails, it is  
reflected in the results status normally returned  
for  
a
Read/Write Data command. Status  
Register 0 (ST0) would contain the error code  
and C would contain the cylinder on which the  
seek failed.

Read Data  
A set of nine (9) bytes is required to place the  
FDC in the Read Data Mode. After the Read  
Data command has been issued, the FDC loads  
the head (if it is in the unloaded state), waits the  
specified head settling time (defined in the  
Specify command), and begins reading ID  
Address Marks and ID fields. When the sector  
address read off the diskette matches with the  
sector address specified in the command, the  
FDC reads the sector's data field and transfers  
the data to the FIFO.  
07  
16 Kbytes  
The amount of data which can be handled with  
a single command to the FDC depends upon  
MT (multi-track) and N (number of bytes/sector).  
The Multi-Track function (MT) allows the FDC to  
read data from both sides of the diskette. For a  
particular cylinder, data will be transferred  
starting at Sector 1, Side 0 and completing the  
last sector of the same track at Side 1.  
After completion of the read operation from the  
current sector, the sector address is  
incremented by one and the data from the next  
logical sector is read and output via the FIFO.  
This continuous read function is called "Multi-  
Sector Read Operation". Upon receipt of TC, or  
an implied TC (FIFO overrun/underrun), the  
FDC stops sending data but will continue to  
read data from the current sector, check the  
If the host terminates a read or write operation  
in the FDC, the ID information in the result  
phase is dependent upon the state of the MT bit  
and EOT byte. Refer to Table 23.  
55  
At the completion of the Read Data command,  
the head is not unloaded until after the Head  
Unload Time Interval (specified in the Specify  
command) has elapsed. If the host issues  
another command before the head unloads,  
then the head settling time may be saved  
between subsequent reads.  
After reading the ID and Data Fields in each  
sector, the FDC checks the CRC bytes. If a  
CRC error occurs in the ID or data field, the  
FDC sets the IC code in Status Register 0 to  
"01" indicating abnormal termination, sets the  
DE bit flag in Status Register 1 to "1", sets the  
DD bit in Status Register 2 to "1" if CRC is  
incorrect in the ID field, and terminates the Read  
Data Command. Table 24 describes the effect  
of the SK bit on the Read Data command  
execution and results. Except where noted in  
Table 24, the C or R value of the sector address  
is automatically incremented (see Table 26).  
If the FDC detects a pulse on the nINDEX pin  
twice without finding the specified sector  
(meaning that the diskette's index hole passes  
through index detect logic in the drive twice), the  
FDC sets the IC code in Status Register 0 to  
"01" indicating abnormal termination, sets the  
ND bit in Status Register 1 to "1" indicating a  
sector not found, and terminates the Read Data  
Command.

Read A Track  
This command is similar to the Read Data  
command except that the entire data field is  
read continuously from each of the sectors of a  
track. Immediately after encountering a pulse  
on the nINDEX pin, the FDC starts to read all  
data fields on the track as continuous blocks of  
data without regard to logical sector numbers. If  
the FDC finds an error in the ID or DATA CRC  
check bytes, it continues to read data from the  
track and sets the appropriate error bits at the  
end of the command. The FDC compares the  
ID information read from each sector with the  
specified value in the command and sets the  
This command terminates when the EOT

If it detects  
a CRC error in one of the ID  
Write Data  
fields, it sets the IC code in Status Register 0 to  
"01" (abnormal termination), sets the DE bit of  
Status Register 1 to "1", and terminates the  
Write Data command.  
After the Write Data command has been issued,  
the FDC loads the head (if it is in the unloaded  
state), waits the specified head load time if  
unloaded (defined in the Specify command),  
and begins reading ID fields. When the sector  
address read from the diskette matches the  
sector address specified in the command, the  
FDC reads the data from the host via the FIFO  
and writes it to the sector's data field.  
The Write Data command operates in much the  
same manner as the Read Data command. The  
following items are the same. Please refer to  
the Read Data Command for details:

After writing data into the current sector, the  
FDC computes the CRC value and writes it into  
the CRC field at the end of the sector transfer.  
The Sector Number stored in "R" is incremented  
by one, and the FDC continues writing to the  
next data field. The FDC continues this "Multi-  
Sector Write Operation". Upon receipt of a  
terminal count signal or if a FIFO over/under run  
occurs while a data field is being written, then  
the remainder of the data field is filled with  
zeros. The FDC reads the ID field of each  
sector and checks the CRC bytes.  
·
Write Deleted Data  
This command is almost the same as the Write  
Data command except that a Deleted Data  
Address Mark is written at the beginning of the  
Data Field instead of the normal Data Address  
Mark. This command is typically used to mark

decremented to 0 (an SC value of 0 will verify  
256 sectors). This command can also be  
terminated by setting the EC bit to "0" and the  
EOT value equal to the final sector to be  
checked. If EC is set to "0", DTL/SC should be  
programmed to 0FFH. Refer to Table 26 and  
Table 27 for information concerning the values  
of MT and EC versus SC and EOT value.  
Verify  
The Verify command is used to verify the data  
stored on a disk. This command acts exactly  
like a Read Data command except that no data  
is transferred to the host. Data is read from the  
disk and CRC is computed and checked against  
the previously-stored value.  
Definitions:  
# Sectors Per Side = Number of formatted  
sectors per each side of the disk.  
Because data is not transferred to the host, TC  
(pin 89) cannot be used to terminate this  
command. By setting the EC bit to "1", an  
implicit TC will be issued to the FDC. This  
implicit TC will occur when the SC value has  
# Sectors Remaining = Number of formatted  
sectors left which can be read, including side 1  
of the disk if MT is set to "1".

After formatting each sector, the host must send  
new values for C, H, R and N to the FDC for the  
next sector on the track. The R value (sector  
number) is the only value that must be changed  
by the host after each sector is formatted. This  
allows the disk to be formatted with  
nonsequential sector addresses (interleaving).  
This incrementing and formatting continues for  
the whole track until the FDC encounters a pulse  
on the IDX pin again and it terminates the  
command.  
Format A Track  
The Format command allows an entire track to  
be formatted. After a pulse from the IDX pin is  
detected, the FDC starts writing data on the disk  
including gaps, address marks, ID fields, and  
data fields per the IBM System 34 or 3740  
format (MFM or FM respectively). The particular  
values that will be written to the gap and data  
field are controlled by the values programmed  
into N, SC, GPL, and D which are specified by  
the host during the command phase. The data  
field of the sector is filled with the data byte  
specified by D. The ID field for each sector is  
supplied by the host; that is, four data bytes per  
sector are needed by the FDC for C, H, R, and  
N (cylinder, head, sector number and sector size  
respectively).  
Table 28 contains typical values for gap fields  
which are dependent upon the size of the sector  
and the number of sectors on each track. Actual  
values can vary due to drive electronics.

and terminates the command. Disks capable of  
handling more than 80 tracks per side may  
require more than one Recalibrate command to  
return the head back to physical Track 0.  
CONTROL COMMANDS  
Control commands differ from the other  
commands in that no data transfer takes place.  
Three commands generate an interrupt when  
complete: Read ID, Recalibrate, and Seek. The  
other control commands do not generate an  
interrupt.  
The Recalibrate command does not have a  
result phase.  
The Sense Interrupt Status  
command must be issued after the Recalibrate  
command to effectively terminate it and to  
provide verification of the head position (PCN).  
During the command phase of the recalibrate  
operation, the FDC is in the BUSY state, but  
during the execution phase it is in a NON-BUSY  
Read ID  
The Read ID command is used to find the  
present position of the recording heads. The  
FDC stores the values from the first ID field it is  
able to read into its registers. If the FDC does  
not find an ID address mark on the diskette after  
the second occurrence of a pulse on the  
nINDEX pin, it then sets the IC code in Status  
Register 0 to "01" (abnormal termination), sets  
the MA bit in Status Register 1 to "1", and  
terminates the command.  
state.  
At this time, another Recalibrate  
command may be issued, and in this manner  
parallel Recalibrate operations may be done on  
up to four drives at once.  
Upon power up, the software must issue a  
Recalibrate command to properly initialize all  
drives and the controller.  
Seek  
The following commands will generate an  
interrupt upon completion. They do not return  
any result bytes. It is highly recommended that  
control commands be followed by the Sense  
Interrupt Status command. Otherwise, valuable  
interrupt status information will be lost.  
The read/write head within the drive is moved  
from track to track under the control of the Seek  
command. The FDC compares the PCN, which  
is the current head position, with the NCN and  
performs the following operation if there is a  
difference:  
Recalibrate  
PCN < NCN: Direction signal to drive set to  
"1" (step in) and issues step pulses.  
PCN > NCN: Direction signal to drive set to  
"0" (step out) and issues step pulses.  
This command causes the read/write head  
within the FDC to retract to the track 0 position.  
The FDC clears the contents of the PCN counter  
and checks the status of the nTR0 pin from the  
FDD. As long as the nTR0 pin is low, the DIR  
pin remains 0 and step pulses are issued.  
When the nTR0 pin goes high, the SE bit in  
Status Register 0 is set to "1" and the command  
is terminated. If the nTR0 pin is still low after 79  
step pulses have been issued, the FDC sets the  
SE and the EC bits of Status Register 0 to "1"  
The rate at which step pulses are issued is  
controlled by SRT (Stepping Rate Time) in the  
Specify command. After each step pulse is  
issued, NCN is compared against PCN, and  
when NCN = PCN the SE bit in Status Register  
0 is set to "1" and the command is terminated.  
62  
During the command phase of the seek or  
recalibrate operation, the FDC is in the BUSY  
state, but during the execution phase it is in the  
NON-BUSY state. At this time, another Seek or  
Recalibrate command may be issued, and in  
this manner, parallel seek operations may be  
done on up to four drives at once.

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

The Seek, Relative Seek, and Recalibrate  
commands have no result phase. The Sense

immediately after these commands to terminate  
them and to provide verification of the head  
position (PCN). The H (Head Address) bit in  
ST0 will always return a "0". If a Sense Interrupt  
Status is not issued, the drive will continue to be  
BUSY and may affect the operation of the next  
command.

The SRT (Step Rate Time) defines the time  
interval between adjacent step pulses. Note that  
the spacing between the first and second step  
pulses may be shorter than the remaining step

Sense Drive Status obtains drive status  
information. It has not execution phase and

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

Configure Default Values:  
Relative Seek  
EIS - No Implied Seeks

performed while the drive head is loaded and  
the head unload delay has not expired.  
The Relative Seek command differs from the  
Seek command in that it steps the head the  
absolute number of tracks specified in the  
command instead of making a comparison  
against an internal register.  
The Seek  
FIFOTHR - The FIFO threshold in the execution

command is good for drives that support a  
maximum of 256 tracks. Relative Seeks cannot  
be overlapped with other Relative Seeks. Only  
one Relative Seek can be active at a time.  
Relative Seeks may be overlapped with Seeks  
and Recalibrates. Bit 4 of Status Register 0  
(EC) will be set if Relative Seek attempts to step  
outward beyond Track 0.  
PRETRK  
-
Pre-Compensation Start Track  
Number. Programmable from track 0 to 255.  
Defaults to track 0. A "00" selects track 0; "FF"  
selects track 255.  
As an example, assume that a floppy drive has  
300 useable tracks. The host needs to read  
track 300 and the head is on any track (0-255).  
If a Seek command is issued, the head will stop  
at track 255. If a Relative Seek command is  
issued, the FDC will move the head the  
specified number of tracks, regardless of the  
internal cylinder position register (but will  
increment the register). If the head was on track  
40 (d), the maximum track that the FDC could  
position the head on using Relative Seek will be  
295 (D), the initial track + 255 (D). The  
maximum count that the head can be moved

Perpendicular Mode  
The Perpendicular Mode command should be  
issued prior to executing Read/Write/Format  
The internal register, PCN, will overflow as the  
cylinder number crosses track 255 and will  
contain 39 (D). The resulting PCN value is thus  
(RCN + PCN) mod 256. Functionally, the FDC  
starts counting from 0 again as the track  
number goes above 255 (D). It is the user's  
responsibility to compensate FDC functions  
commands that access  
a disk drive with  
perpendicular recording capability. With this  
command, the length of the Gap2 field and VCO  
enable timing can be altered to accommodate  
the unique requirements of these drives. Table  
31 describes the effects of the WGATE and  
GAP bits for the Perpendicular Mode command.

command issued will use the current PCN value  
except for the Recalibrate command, which only  
looks for the TRACK0 signal. Recalibrate will  
return an error if the head is farther than 79 due  
to its limitation of issuing a maximum of 80 step

second Recalibrate command.  
The Seek  
The Gap2 and VCO timing requirements for  
perpendicular recording type drives are dictated  
by the design of the read/write head. In the  
design of this head, a pre-erase head precedes  
the normal read/write head by a distance of 200  
micrometers. This works out to about 38 bytes  
at a 1 Mbps recording density. Whenever the  
write head is enabled by the Write Gate signal,  
the pre-erase head is also activated at the same  
time. Thus, when the write head is initially  
turned on, flux transitions recorded on the media  
for the first 38 bytes will not be preconditioned  
with the pre-erase head since it has not yet been  
activated. To accommodate this head activation  
and deactivation time, the Gap2 field is  
expanded to a length of 41 bytes. The format  
field shown on Page 60 illustrates the change in  
the Gap2 field size for the perpendicular format.  
On the read back by the FDC, the controller  
must begin synchronization at the beginning of  
the sync field. For the conventional mode, the  
internal PLL VCO is enabled (VCOEN)  
approximately 24 bytes from the start of the  
Gap2 field. But, when the controller operates in  
the 1 Mbps perpendicular mode (WGATE = 1,  
GAP = 1), VCOEN goes active after 43 bytes to  
command and implied seeks will function  
correctly within the 44 (D) track (299-255) area  
of the "extended track area". It is the user's  
responsibility not to issue a new track position  
that will exceed the maximum track that is  
present in the extended area.  
To return to the standard floppy range (0-255) of  
tracks, a Relative Seek should be issued to  
cross the track 255 boundary.  
A Relative Seek can be used instead of the  
normal Seek, but the host is required to  
calculate the difference between the current  
head location and the new (target) head  
location. This may require the host to issue a  
Read ID command to ensure that the head is  
physically on the track that software assumes it  
to be. Different FDC commands will return  
different cylinder results which may be difficult  
to keep track of with software without the Read  
ID command.

between the accesses of the different drive  
types, nor having to change write pre-  
compensation values.  
When both GAP and WGATE bits of the  
PERPENDICULAR MODE COMMAND are both  
programmed to "0" (Conventional mode), then  
D0, D1, D2, D3, and D4 can be programmed  
independently to "1" for that drive to be set  
automatically to Perpendicular mode. In this  
mode the following set of conditions also apply:  
For the Write Data case, the FDC activates  
Write Gate at the beginning of the sync field  
under the conventional mode. The controller  
then writes a new sync field, data address mark,  
data field, and CRC as shown on page 60. With  
the pre-erase head of the perpendicular drive,  
the write head must be activated in the Gap2  
field to insure a proper write of the new sync  
field. For the 1 Mbps perpendicular mode  
(WGATE = 1, GAP = 1), 38 bytes will be written  
in the Gap2 space. Since the bit density is  
proportional to the data rate, 19 bytes will be  
written in the Gap2 field for the 500 Kbps  
perpendicular mode (WGATE = 1, GAP =0).  
1. The GAP2 written to a perpendicular drive  
during a write operation will depend upon the  
programmed data rate.  
2. The write pre-compensation given to a  
perpendicular mode drive will be 0ns.  
3. For D0-D3 programmed to "0" for  
conventional mode drives any data written  
will be at the currently programmed write  
pre-compensation.  
It should be noted that none of the alterations in  
Gap2 size, VCO timing, or Write Gate timing  
affect normal program flow. The information  
provided here is just for background purposes  
and is not needed for normal operation. Once  
the Perpendicular Mode command is invoked,  
FDC software behavior from the users  
standpoint is unchanged.  
Note: Bits D0-D3 can only be overwritten when  
OW is programmed as a "1". If either  
GAP or WGATE is a "1" then D0-D3 are  
ignored.  
Software and hardware resets have the  
following effect on the PERPENDICULAR  
MODE COMMAND:  
The perpendicular mode command is enhanced  
to allow specific drives to be designated  
1. "Software" resets (via the DOR or DSR  
registers) will only clear GAP and WGATE  
bits to "0". D0-D3 are unaffected and retain  
their previous value.  
2. "Hardware" resets will clear all bits (GAP,  
WGATE and D0-D3) to "0", i.e all

LOCK  
ENHANCED DUMPREG  
In order to protect systems with long DMA  
latencies against older application software that  
can disable the FIFO, the LOCK Command has  
been added. This command should only be  
used by the FDC routines, and application  
software should refrain from using it. If an  
application calls for the FIFO to be disabled  
then the CONFIGURE command should be  
used.  
The DUMPREG command is designed to  
support system run-time diagnostics and  
application software development and debug.  
To accommodate the LOCK command and the  
enhanced PERPENDICULAR MODE command  
the eighth byte of the DUMPREG command has  
been modified to contain the additional data  
from these two commands.  
COMPATIBILITY  
The LOCK command defines whether the  
EFIFO, FIFOTHR, and PRETRK parameters of  
the CONFIGURE command can be RESET by  
the DOR and DSR registers. When the LOCK  
bit is set to logic "1" all subsequent "software  
RESETS by the DOR and DSR registers will not  
change the previously set parameters to their  
default values. All "hardware" RESET from the  
RESET pin will set the LOCK bit to logic "0" and  
return the EFIFO, FIFOTHR, and PRETRK to  
their default values. A status byte is returned  
immediately after issuing a a LOCK command.  
This byte reflects the value of the LOCK bit set  
by the command byte.  
The FDC37C93xFR was designed with software  
compatibility in mind. It is a fully backwards-  
compatible solution with the older generation

REGISTER DESCRIPTION  
Addressing of the accessible registers of the  
Serial Port is shown below.  
The base  
addresses of the serial ports are defined by the  
configuration registers (see Configuration  
section). The Serial Port registers are located at  
sequentially increasing addresses above these  
base addresses. The FDC37C93xFR contains  
two serial ports, each of which contain a register  
set as described below.

The following section describes the operation of  
the registers.  
BIT 0  
This bit enables the Received Data Available  
Interrupt (and timeout interrupts in the FIFO  
mode) when set to logic "1".  
RECEIVE BUFFER REGISTER (RB)  
Address Offset = 0H, DLAB = 0, READ ONLY  
BIT 1  
This register holds the received incoming data  
byte. Bit 0 is the least significant bit, which is  
transmitted and received first. Received data is  
double buffered; this uses an additional shift  
register to receive the serial data stream and  
convert it to a parallel 8 bit word which is  
transferred to the Receive Buffer register. The  
shift register is not accessible.  
This bit enables the Transmitter Holding  
Register Empty Interrupt when set to logic "1".  
BIT 2  
This bit enables the Received Line Status  
Interrupt when set to logic "1". The error  
sources causing the interrupt are Overrun,  
Parity, Framing and Break. The Line Status  
Register must be read to determine the source.  
TRANSMIT BUFFER REGISTER (TB)  
Address Offset = 0H, DLAB = 0, WRITE ONLY  
BIT 3  
This bit enables the MODEM Status Interrupt  
when set to logic "1". This is caused when one  
of the Modem Status Register bits changes  
state.  
This register contains the data byte to be  
transmitted.  
The transmit buffer is double  
buffered, utilizing an additional shift register (not  
accessible) to convert the 8 bit data word to a  
serial format. This shift register is loaded from  
the Transmit Buffer when the transmission of  
the previous byte is complete.  
BITS 4-7  
These bits are always logic "0".  
FIFO CONTROL REGISTER (FCR)  
INTERRUPT ENABLE REGISTER (IER)  
Address Offset = 2H, DLAB = X, WRITE  
Address Offset = 1H, DLAB = 0, READ/WRITE  
This is a write only register at the same location  
as the IIR. This register is used to enable and  
clear the FIFOs, set the RCVR FIFO trigger  
level. Note: DMA is not supported.  
The lower four bits of this register control the  
enables of the five interrupt sources of the Serial  
Port interrupt. It is possible to totally disable the  
interrupt system by resetting bits 0 through 3 of  
this register. Similarly, setting the appropriate  
bits of this register to a high, selected interrupts  
can be enabled. Disabling the interrupt system  
inhibits the Interrupt Identification Register and  
disables any Serial Port interrupt out of the  
BIT 0  
Setting this bit to a logic "1" enables both the  
XMIT and RCVR FIFOs. Clearing this bit to a  
logic "0" disables both the XMIT and RCVR  
FIFOs and clears all bytes from both FIFOs.  
When changing from FIFO Mode to non-FIFO  
(16450) mode, data is automatically cleared  
from the FIFOs. This bit must be a 1 when  
other bits in this register are written to or they  
will not be properly programmed.  
FDC37C93xFR.  
All other system functions  
operate in their normal manner, including the  
Line Status and MODEM Status Registers. The  
contents of the Interrupt Enable Register are  
described below.

They are in descending order of priority:  
1. Receiver Line Status (highest priority)  
2. Received Data Ready  
3. Transmitter Holding Register Empty  
4. MODEM Status (lowest priority)  
BIT 1  
Setting this bit to a logic "1" clears all bytes in  
the RCVR FIFO and resets its counter logic to 0.  
The shift register is not cleared. This bit is self-  
clearing.  
Information indicating that a prioritized interrupt  
is pending and the source of that interrupt is  
stored in the Interrupt Identification Register  
(refer to Interrupt Control Table). When the CPU  
accesses the IIR, the Serial Port freezes all  
interrupts and indicates the highest priority  
pending interrupt to the CPU. During this CPU  
access, even if the Serial Port records new  
interrupts, the current indication does not  
change until access is completed. The contents  
of the IIR are described below.  
BIT 2  
Setting this bit to a logic "1" clears all bytes in  
the XMIT FIFO and resets its counter logic to 0.  
The shift register is not cleared. This bit is self-  
clearing.  
BIT 3  
Writing to this bit has no effect on the operation  
of the UART. The RXRDY and TXRDY pins are  
not available on this chip.  
BITS 4 and 5  
Reserved  
BIT 0  
This bit can be used in either a hardwired  
prioritized or polled environment to indicate  
whether an interrupt is pending. When bit 0 is a  
logic "0", an interrupt is pending and the  
contents of the IIR may be used as a pointer to  
the appropriate internal service routine. When  
bit 0 is a logic "1", no interrupt is pending.  
BITS 6 and 7  
These bits are used to set the trigger level for  
the RCVR FIFO interrupt.  
INTERRUPT IDENTIFICATION REGISTER

Set Break Control bit. When bit 6 is a logic "1",  
the transmit data output (TXD) is forced to the  
Spacing or logic "0" state and remains there  
(until reset by a low level bit 6) regardless of  
other transmitter activity. This feature enables

operations. It must be set low (logic "0") to  
access the Receiver Buffer Register, the  
Transmitter Holding Register, or the Interrupt  
Enable Register.

All MODEM Control inputs (nCTS,  
nDSR, nRI and nDCD) are disconnected.  
The four MODEM Control outputs  
(nDTR, nRTS, OUT1 and OUT2) are  
internally connected to the four MODEM  
Control inputs (nDSR, nCTS, RI, DCD).  
The Modem Control output pins are  
forced inactive high.  
MODEM CONTROL REGISTER (MCR)

This 8 bit register controls the interface with the  
MODEM or data set (or device emulating a  
MODEM). The contents of the MODEM control  
register are described below.  
6.  
7.  
Data that is transmitted is immediately  
received.  
BIT 0  
This bit controls the Data Terminal Ready  
(nDTR) output. When bit 0 is set to a logic "1",  
the nDTR output is forced to a logic "0". When  
bit 0 is a logic "0", the nDTR output is forced to  
a logic "1".  
This feature allows the processor to verify the  
transmit and receive data paths of the Serial  
Port. In the diagnostic mode, the receiver and  
the transmitter interrupts are fully operational.  
The MODEM Control Interrupts are also  
operational but the interrupts' sources are now  
the lower four bits of the MODEM Control  
Register instead of the MODEM Control inputs.  
The interrupts are still controlled by the Interrupt  
Enable Register.  
BIT 1  
This bit controls the Request To Send (nRTS)  
output. Bit 1 affects the nRTS output in a  
manner identical to that described above for bit  
0.  
BIT 2  
BIT 5-7  
This bit controls the Output 1 (OUT1) bit. This  
bit does not have an output pin and can only be  
read or written by the CPU.  
These bits are permanently set to logic zero.

BIT 3  
Output 2 (OUT2). This bit is used to enable an  
UART interrupt. When OUT2 is a logic "0", the  
serial port interrupt output is forced to a high  
impedance state - disabled. When OUT2 is a  
logic "1", the serial port interrupt outputs are  
enabled.  
BIT 0  
Data Ready (DR). It is set to a logic "1"  
whenever a complete incoming character has  
been received and transferred into the Receiver  
Buffer Register or the FIFO. Bit 0 is reset to a  
logic "0" by reading all of the data in the Receive  
Buffer Register or the FIFO.  
BIT 4  
This bit provides the loopback feature for  
diagnostic testing of the Serial Port. When bit 4  
is set to logic "1", the following occur:  
BIT 1  
Overrun Error (OE). Bit 1 indicates that data in  
the Receiver Buffer Register was not read before  
the next character was transferred into the  
register, thereby destroying the previous  
character. In FIFO mode, an overrun error will  
occur only when the FIFO is full and the next  
character has been completely received in the  
shift register, the character in the shift register is  
1.  
2.  
3.  
The TXD is set to the Marking State  
(logic "1").  
The receiver Serial Input (RXD) is  
disconnected.  
The output of the Transmitter Shift  
Register is "looped back" into  
the Receiver Shift Register input.  
74  
overwritten but not transferred to the FIFO. The  
OE indicator is set to a logic "1" immediately  
upon detection of an overrun condition, and  
reset whenever the Line Status Register is read.  
The BI is reset after the CPU reads the contents  
of the Line Status Register. In the FIFO mode  
this error is associated with the particular  
character in the FIFO it applies to. This error is  
indicated when the associated character is at  
the top of the FIFO. When break occurs only  
one zero character is loaded into the FIFO.  
Restarting after a break is received, requires the  
serial data (RXD) to be logic "1" for at least 1/2  
bit time.  
BIT 2  
Parity Error (PE). Bit 2 indicates that the  
received data character does not have the  
correct even or odd parity, as selected by the  
even parity select bit. The PE is set to a logic  
"1" upon detection of  
a parity error and is  
Note: Bits 1 through 4 are the error conditions  
that produce a Receiver Line Status Interrupt  
whenever any of the corresponding conditions  
are detected and the interrupt is enabled.  
reset to a logic "0" whenever the Line Status  
Register is read. In the FIFO mode this error is  
associated with the particular character in the  
FIFO it applies to. This error is indicated when  
the associated character is at the top of the  
FIFO.  
BIT 5  
Transmitter Holding Register Empty (THRE). Bit  
5 indicates that the Serial Port is ready to accept  
a new character for transmission. In addition,  
this bit causes the Serial Port to issue an  
interrupt when the Transmitter Holding Register  
interrupt enable is set high. The THRE bit is set  
to a logic "1" when a character is transferred  
from the Transmitter Holding Register into the  
Transmitter Shift Register. The bit is reset to  
logic "0" whenever the CPU loads the  
Transmitter Holding Register. In the FIFO mode  
this bit is set when the XMIT FIFO is empty, it is  
cleared when at least 1 byte is written to the  
XMIT FIFO. Bit 5 is a read only bit.  
BIT 3  
Framing Error (FE). Bit 3 indicates that the  
received character did not have a valid stop bit.  
Bit 3 is set to a logic "1" whenever the stop bit  
following the last data bit or parity bit is detected  
as a zero bit (Spacing level). The FE is reset to  
a logic "0" whenever the Line Status Register is  
read. In the FIFO mode this error is associated  
with the particular character in the FIFO it  
applies to. This error is indicated when the  
associated character is at the top of the FIFO.  
The Serial Port will try to resynchronize after a  
framing error. To do this, it assumes that the  
framing error was due to the next start bit, so it  
samples this 'start' bit twice and then takes in  
the 'data'.  
BIT 6  
Transmitter Empty (TEMT). Bit 6 is set to a  
logic "1" whenever the Transmitter Holding  
Register (THR) and Transmitter Shift Register  
(TSR) are both empty. It is reset to logic "0"  
whenever either the THR or TSR contains a data  
character. Bit 6 is a read only bit. In the FIFO  
mode this bit is set whenever the THR and TSR  
are both empty.  
BIT 4  
Break Interrupt (BI). Bit 4 is set to a logic "1"  
whenever the received data input is held in the  
Spacing state (logic "0") for longer than a full  
word transmission time (that is, the total time of  
the start bit + data bits + parity bits + stop bits).  
75  
BIT 7  
BIT 4  
This bit is permanently set to logic "0" in the 450  
mode. In the FIFO mode, this bit is set to a  
logic "1" when there is at least one parity error,  
framing error or break indication in the FIFO.  
This bit is cleared when the LSR is read if there  
are no subsequent errors in the FIFO.  
This bit is the complement of the Clear To Send  
(nCTS) input. If bit 4 of the MCR is set to logic  
"1", this bit is equivalent to nRTS in the MCR.  
BIT 5  
This bit is the complement of the Data Set  
Ready (nDSR) input. If bit 4 of the MCR is set  
to logic "1", this bit is equivalent to DTR in the  
MCR.  
MODEM STATUS REGISTER (MSR)

X,  
BIT 6  
This bit is the complement of the Ring Indicator  
(nRI) input. If bit 4 of the MCR is set to logic  
"1", this bit is equivalent to OUT1 in the MCR.  
This 8 bit register provides the current state of  
the control lines from the MODEM (or peripheral  
device).  
In addition to this current state  
information, four bits of the MODEM Status  
Register (MSR) provide change information.  
These bits are set to logic "1" whenever a  
control input from the MODEM changes state.  
They are reset to logic "0" whenever the  
MODEM Status Register is read.  
BIT 7  
This bit is the complement of the Data Carrier  
Detect (nDCD) input. If bit 4 of the MCR is set  
to logic "1", this bit is equivalent to OUT2 in the  
MCR.  
BIT 0  
SCRATCHPAD REGISTER (SCR)  
Delta Clear To Send (DCTS). Bit 0 indicates  
that the nCTS input to the chip has changed  
state since the last time the MSR was read.  
Address Offset =7H, DLAB =X, READ/WRITE  
This 8 bit read/write register has no effect on the  
operation of the Serial Port. It is intended as a  
scratchpad register to be used by the  
programmer to hold data temporarily.  
BIT 1  
Delta Data Set Ready (DDSR). Bit 1 indicates  
that the nDSR input has changed state since the  
last time the MSR was read.  
PROGRAMMABLE BAUD RATE GENERATOR  
(AND DIVISOR LATCHES DLH, DLL)  
The Serial Port contains a programmable Baud  
Rate Generator that is capable of taking any  
clock input (DC to 3 MHz) and dividing it by any  
divisor from 1 to 65535. This output frequency  
of the Baud Rate Generator is 16x the Baud  
rate. Two 8 bit latches store the divisor in 16 bit  
binary format. These Divisor Latches must be  
loaded during initialization in order to insure  
desired operation of the Baud Rate Generator.  
Upon loading either of the Divisor Latches, a 16  
bit Baud counter is immediately loaded. This  
prevents long counts on initial load. If a 0 is  
loaded into the BRG registers the output divides  
the clock by the number 3. If a 1 is loaded the  
output is the inverse of the input oscillator. If a

at least one character is in the FIFO  
The most recent serial character  
received was longer than four  
continuous character times ago. (If 2  
stop bits are programmed, the second  
one is included in this time delay.)  
The most recent CPU read of the FIFO  
was longer than four continuous  
character times ago.  
Table 34 shows the baud rates possible with a  
1.8462 MHz crystal.  
·
Effect Of The Reset on Register File  
This will cause a maximum character received  
to interrupt issued delay of 160 msec at 300  
BAUD with a 12 bit character.  
The Reset Function Table (Table 34) details the  
effect of the Reset input on each of the registers  
of the Serial Port.  
B. Character times are calculated by using the  
RCLK input for a clock signal (this makes  
the delay proportional to the baudrate).  
FIFO INTERRUPT MODE OPERATION  
When the RCVR FIFO and receiver interrupts  
are enabled (FCR bit 0 = "1", IER bit 0 = "1"),  
RCVR interrupts occur as follows:  
C. When a timeout interrupt has occurred it is  
cleared and the timer reset when the CPU  
reads one character from the RCVR FIFO.  
A. The receive data available interrupt will be  
issued when the FIFO has reached its  
programmed trigger level; it is cleared as  
soon as the FIFO drops below its  
programmed trigger level.  
D. When a timeout interrupt has not occurred  
the timeout timer is reset after a new  
character is received or after the CPU reads  
the RCVR FIFO.  
B. The IIR receive data available indication also  
occurs when the FIFO trigger level is  
reached. It is cleared when the FIFO drops  
below the trigger level.  
When the XMIT FIFO and transmitter interrupts  
are enabled (FCR bit 0 = "1", IER bit 1 = "1"),  
XMIT interrupts occur as follows:  
A. The transmitter holding register interrupt  
(02H) occurs when the XMIT FIFO is  
empty; it is cleared as soon as the  
transmitter holding register is written to (1  
of 16 characters may be written to the XMIT  
FIFO while servicing this interrupt) or the  
IIR is read.  
C. The receiver line status interrupt (IIR=06H),  
has higher priority than the received data  
available (IIR=04H) interrupt.  
D. The data ready bit (LSR bit 0) is set as soon  
as a character is transferred from the shift  
register to the RCVR FIFO. It is reset when  
the FIFO is empty.  
B. The transmitter FIFO empty indications will  
be delayed 1 character time minus the last  
stop bit time whenever the following occurs:  
THRE=1 and there have not been at least  
two bytes at the same time in the  
transmitter FIFO since the last THRE=1.  
When RCVR FIFO and receiver interrupts are  
enabled, RCVR FIFO timeout interrupts occur  
as follows:  
A. A FIFO timeout interrupt occurs if all the  
following conditions exist:  
77  
The transmitter interrupt after changing  
FCR0 will be immediate, if it is enabled.  
·
·
BIT 0=1 as long as there is one byte in the  
RCVR FIFO.  
BITS 1-4 specify which error(s) have  
occurred. Character error status is handled  
the same way as when in the interrupt  
mode, the IIR is not affected since EIR bit  
2=0.  
BIT 5 indicates when the XMIT FIFO is  
empty.  
BIT 6 indicates that both the XMIT FIFO  
and shift register are empty.  
Character timeout and RCVR FIFO trigger level  
interrupts have the same priority as the current  
received data available interrupt; XMIT FIFO  
empty has the same priority as the current  
transmitter holding register empty interrupt.  
·
·
·
FIFO POLLED MODE OPERATION  
With FCR bit 0 = "1" resetting IER bits 0, 1, 2 or  
3 or all to zero puts the UART in the FIFO  
Polled Mode of operation. Since the RCVR and  
XMITTER are controlled separately, either one  
or both can be in the polled mode of operation.  
BIT 7 indicates whether there are any errors  
in the RCVR FIFO.  
There is no trigger level reached or timeout  
condition indicated in the FIFO Polled Mode,  
however, the RCVR and XMIT FIFOs are still  
fully capable of holding characters.  
In this mode, the user's program will check  
RCVR and XMITTER status via the LSR. LSR  
definitions for the FIFO Polled Mode are as  
follows:

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

INFRARED INTERFACE  
The infrared interface provides  
wireless communications port using infrared as  
transmission medium. Two IR  
implementations have been provided for the  
second UART in this chip (logical device 5),  
IrDA and Amplitude Shift Keyed IR. The IR  
transmission can use the standard UART2 TX  
and RX pins or optional IRTX2 and IRRX2 pins.  
These can be selected through the configuration  
registers.  
a
two-way  
serial bit time. A “1” is signaled by sending no  
transmission the bit time. Please refer to the  
AC timing for the parameters of the ASK-IR  
waveform.  
a
If the Half Duplex option is chosen, there is a  
time-out when the direction of the transmission  
is changed. This time-out starts at the last bit  
transferred during a transmission and blocks the  
receiver input until the timeout expires. If the  
transmit buffer is loaded with more data before  
the time-out expires, the timer is restarted after  
the new byte is transmitted. If data is loaded  
into the transmit buffer while a character is  
being received, the transmission will not start  
until the time-out expires after the last receive  
bit has been received. If the start bit of another  
character is received during this time-out, the  
timer is restarted after the new character is  
received. The IR half duplex time-out is  
programmable via CRF2 in Logical Device 5.  
This register allows the time-out to be  
programmed to any value between 0 and  
10msec in 100msec increments.  
IrDA allows serial communication at baud rates  
up to 115K Baud. Each word is sent serially  
beginning with a “0” value start bit. A “0” is  
signaled by sending a single IR pulse at the  
beginning of the serial bit time. A “1” is signaled  
by sending no IR pulse during the bit time.  
Please refer to the AC timing for the parameters  
of these pulses and the IrDA waveform.  
The Amplitude Shift Keyed IR allows serial  
communication at baud rates up to 19.2K Baud.  
Each word is sent serially beginning with a “0”  
value start bit. A “0” is signaled by sending a  
500 kHz  
waveform for the duration of the

The following is a description of the top level  
connection for the Fast IR block in the  
FDC37C93xFR. Refer to the Infrared  
Communications Controller Specification for  
more information on Fast IR.  
and the other has a second read data pin  
(IRR3). The FDC37C93xFR has two pins that  
can be used for these signals. These are Pins  
19 and 120, which have IR Mode and IRR3 as  
their second and third alternate functions,  
respectively. Table 37 illustrates the selection of  
the function of each of these GPI/O pins.  
There are two types of modules used for Fast  
IR: one has a mode pin (IR Mode) to control it,

= 1. Otherwise, FRX_SEL = 0 (GP54 is used).  
The FAST bit is used to select Fast IR mode. If  
FAST =1, Fast IR mode is selected.  
The pin to be used for the IRR3 is selected via  
the FRX_SEL bit as follows: If GP40 is to be

PARALLEL PORT  
The FDC37C93xFR incorporates an IBM XT/AT  
The parallel port also incorporates SMSC's  
ChiProtect circuitry, which prevents possible  
damage to the parallel port due to printer power-  
up. The functionality of the Parallel Port is  
achieved through the use of eight addressable  
ports, with their associated registers and control  
gating. The control and data port are read/write  
by the CPU, the status port is read/write in the  
EPP mode. The address map of the Parallel  
Port is shown below:  
compatible parallel port. This supports the  
optional PS/2 type bi-directional parallel port  
(SPP), the Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) and  
the Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) parallel  
port modes.  
Refer to the Configuration  
Registers for information on disabling, power  
down, changing the base address of the parallel  
port, and selecting the mode of operation. The  
FDC37C93xFR also provides  
a mode for  
support of the floppy disk controller on the  
parallel port.

IBM XT/AT COMPATIBLE, BI-DIRECTIONAL  
AND EPP MODES  
BIT 3 nERR - nERROR  
The level on the nERROR input is read by the  
CPU as bit 3 of the Printer Status Register. A  
logic “0” means an error has been detected; a  
logic “1” means no error has been detected.  
DATA PORT  
ADDRESS OFFSET = 00H  
BIT 4 SLCT - PRINTER SELECTED STATUS  
The level on the SLCT input is read by the CPU  
as bit 4 of the Printer Status Register. A logic  
“1” means the printer is on line; a logic 0 means  
it is not selected.  
The Data Port is located at an offset of '00H'  
from the base address. The data register is  
cleared at initialization by RESET. During a  
WRITE operation, the Data Register latches the  
contents of the data bus with the rising edge of  
the nIOW input. The contents of this register  
are buffered (non inverting) and output onto the  
PD0-PD7 ports. During a READ operation in  
SPP mode, PD0-PD7 ports are buffered (not  
latched) and output to the host CPU.  
BIT 5 PE - PAPER END  
The level on the PE input is read by the CPU as  
bit 5 of the Printer Status Register. A logic “1”  
indicates a paper end; a logic “0” indicates the  
presence of paper.  
STATUS PORT  
ADDRESS OFFSET = 01H  
BIT 6 nACK - nACKNOWLEDGE  
The level on the nACK input is read by the CPU  
as bit 6 of the Printer Status Register. A logic  
“0” means that the printer has received a  
character and can now accept another. A logic  
“1” means that it is still processing the last  
character or has not received the data.  
The Status Port is located at an offset of '01H'  
from the base address. The contents of this  
register are latched for the duration of an nIOR  
read cycle. The bits of the Status Port are  
defined as follows:  
BIT 7 nBUSY - nBUSY  
BIT 0 TMOUT - TIME OUT  
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.  
This bit is valid in EPP mode only and indicates  
that a 10 msec time out has occurred on the  
EPP bus. A logic “0” means that no time out  
error has occurred; a logic “1” means that a time  
out error has been detected. This bit is cleared  
by a RESET. Writing a “1” 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 “0”.  
Writing a “0” to this bit has no effect.  
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 1 and 2 - are not implemented as register  
bits, during a read of the Printer Status Register  
these bits are a low level.  
89  
BIT 0 STROBE - STROBE  
EPP ADDRESS PORT  
This bit is inverted and output onto the  
nSTROBE output.  
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 PD0-PD7 ports, the leading edge of nIOW  
causes an EPP ADDRESS WRITE cycle to be  
performed, the trailing edge of IOW latches the  
data for the duration of the EPP write cycle.  
During a READ operation, PD0-PD7 ports are  
read, the leading edge of IOR causes an EPP  
ADDRESS READ cycle to be performed and the  
data output to the host CPU, the deassertion of  
ADDRSTB latches the PData for the duration of  
the IOR cycle. This register is only available in  
EPP mode.  
BIT 1 AUTOFD - AUTOFEED  
This bit is inverted and output onto the  
nAUTOFD output. A logic “1” causes the printer  
to generate a line feed after each line is printed.  
A logic “0” means no autofeed.  
BIT 2 nINIT - nINITIATE OUTPUT  
This bit is output onto the nINIT output without  
inversion.  
BIT 3 SLCTIN - PRINTER SELECT INPUT  
This bit is inverted and output onto the nSLCTIN  
output. A logic “1” on this bit selects the printer;  
a logic “0” means the printer is not selected.  
BIT 4 IRQE - INTERRUPT REQUEST ENABLE  
The interrupt request enable bit when set to a  
high level may be used to enable interrupt  
requests from the Parallel Port to the CPU. An  
interrupt request is generated on the IRQ port by  
a positive going nACK input. When the IRQE  
bit is programmed low the IRQ is disabled.  
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 nIOW  
causes an EPP DATA WRITE cycle to be  
performed, the trailing edge of IOW latches the  
data for the duration of the EPP write cycle.  
During a READ operation, PD0-PD7 ports are  
read, the leading edge of IOR causes an EPP  
READ cycle to be performed and the data  
output to the host CPU, the deassertion of  
DATASTB latches the PData for the duration of  
the IOR cycle. This register is only available in  
EPP mode.

PARALLEL CONTROL  
DIRECTION  
Parallel Control Direction is not valid in printer  
mode. In printer mode, the direction is always  
out regardless of the state of this bit. In bi-  
directional, EPP or ECP mode, a logic 0 means  
that the printer port is in output mode (write); a  
logic 1 means that the printer port is in input  
mode (read).  
Bits 6 and 7 during a read are a low level and  
cannot be written.

deasserted (after command). If a time-out  
occurs, the current EPP cycle is aborted and the  
time-out condition is indicated in Status bit 0.  
EPP DATA PORT 1  
ADDRESS OFFSET = 05H  
The EPP Data Port 1 is located at an offset of  
'05H' from the base address. Refer to EPP  
DATA PORT 0 for a description of operation.  
This register is only available in EPP mode.  
During an EPP cycle, if STROBE is active, it  
overrides the EPP write signal forcing the PDx  
bus to always be in a write mode and the  
nWRITE signal to always be asserted.  
EPP DATA PORT 2  
ADDRESS OFFSET = 06H  
Software Constraints  
Before an EPP cycle is executed, the software  
must ensure that the control register bit PCD is  
a logic "0" (i.e. a 04H or 05H should be written  
to the Control port). If the user leaves PCD as  
a logic "1", and attempts to perform an EPP  
write, the chip is unable to perform the write  
(because PCD is a logic "1") and will appear to  
perform an EPP read on the parallel bus; no  
error is indicated.  
The EPP Data Port 2 is located at an offset of  
'06H' from the base address. Refer to EPP  
DATA PORT 0 for a description of operation.  
This register is only available in EPP mode.  
EPP DATA PORT 3  
ADDRESS OFFSET = 07H  
The EPP Data Port 3 is located at an offset of  
'07H' from the base address. Refer to EPP  
DATA PORT 0 for a description of operation.  
This register is only available in EPP mode.  
EPP 1.9 Write  
The timing for a write operation (address or  
data) is shown in timing diagram EPP Write  
Data or Address cycle. IOCHRDY is driven  
active low at the start of each EPP write and is  
released when it has been determined that the  
write cycle can complete. The write cycle can  
complete under the following circumstances:  
EPP 1.9 OPERATION  
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.  
1. If the EPP bus is not ready (nWAIT is active  
low) when nDATASTB or nADDRSTB goes  
active then the write can complete when  
nWAIT goes inactive high.  
2. If the EPP bus is ready (nWAIT is inactive  
high) then the chip must wait for it to go  
active low before changing the state of  
nDATASTB, nWRITE or nADDRSTB. The  
write can complete once nWAIT is  
determined inactive.  
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 10msec  
have elapsed from the start of the EPP cycle  
(nIOR or nIOW asserted) to nWAIT being  
91  
Write Sequence of Operation  
1. If the EPP bus is not ready (nWAIT is active  
low) when nDATASTB goes active then the  
read can complete when nWAIT goes  
inactive high.  
2. If the EPP bus is ready (nWAIT is inactive  
high) then the chip must wait for it to go  
active low before changing the state of  
WRITE or before nDATASTB goes active.  
The read can complete once nWAIT is  
determined inactive.  
1. The host selects an EPP register, places  
data on the SData bus and drives nIOW  
active.  
2. The chip drives IOCHRDY inactive (low).  
3. If WAIT is not asserted, the chip must wait  
until WAIT is asserted.  
4. The chip places address or data on PData  
bus, clears PDIR, and asserts nWRITE.  
5. Chip asserts nDATASTB or nADDRSTRB  
indicating that PData bus contains valid  
information, and the WRITE signal is valid.  
6. Peripheral deasserts nWAIT, indicating that  
any setup requirements have been satisfied  
and the chip may begin the termination  
phase of the cycle.  
7. a) The chip deasserts nDATASTB or  
nADDRSTRB, this marks the beginning  
of the termination phase. If it has not  
already done so, the peripheral should  
latch the information byte now.  
Read Sequence of Operation  
1. The host selects an EPP register and drives  
nIOR active.  
2. The chip drives IOCHRDY inactive (low).  
3. If WAIT is not asserted, the chip must wait  
until WAIT is asserted.  
4. The chip tri-states the PData bus and  
deasserts nWRITE.  
5. Chip asserts nDATASTB or nADDRSTRB  
indicating that PData bus is tri-stated, PDIR  
is set and the nWRITE signal is valid.  
6. Peripheral drives PData bus valid.  
7. Peripheral deasserts nWAIT, indicating that  
PData is valid and the chip may begin the  
termination phase of the cycle.  
8. a) The chip latches the data from the  
PData bus for the SData bus and  
deasserts nDATASTB or nADDRSTRB.  
This marks the beginning of the  
termination phase.  
b) The chip latches the data from the  
SData bus for the PData bus and  
asserts (releases) IOCHRDY allowing  
the host to complete the write cycle.  
8. Peripheral asserts nWAIT, indicating to the  
host that any hold time requirements have  
been satisfied and acknowledging the  
termination of the cycle.  
9. Chip may modify nWRITE and nPDATA in  
preparation for the next cycle.  
b) The chip drives the valid data onto the  
SData bus and asserts (releases)  
IOCHRDY allowing the host to  
complete the read cycle.  
EPP 1.9 Read  
The timing for a read operation (data) is shown  
in timing diagram EPP Read Data cycle.  
IOCHRDY is driven active low at the start of  
each EPP read and is released when it has been  
determined that the read cycle can complete.  
The read cycle can complete under the following  
circumstances:  
9. Peripheral tri-states the PData bus and  
asserts nWAIT, indicating to the host that  
the PData bus is tri-stated.  
10. Chip may modify nWRITE, PDIR and  
nPDATA in preparation for the next cycle.  
92  
2. The host selects an EPP register, places  
data on the SData bus and drives nIOW  
active.  
3. The chip places address or data on PData  
bus.  
4. Chip asserts nDATASTB or nADDRSTRB  
indicating that PData bus contains valid  
information, and the WRITE signal is valid.  
5. If nWAIT is asserted, IOCHRDY is  
deasserted until the peripheral deasserts  
nWAIT or a time-out occurs.  
EPP 1.7 OPERATION  
When the EPP 1.7 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.  
6. When the host deasserts nIOW the chip  
deasserts nDATASTB or nADDRSTRB and  
latches the data from the SData bus for the  
PData bus.  
7. Chip may modify nWRITE, PDIR and  
nPDATA in preparation of the next cycle.  
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 10msec  
have elapsed from the start of the EPP cycle  
(nIOR or nIOW asserted) to the end of the cycle  
EPP 1.7 Read  
nIOR or nIOW deasserted).  
If a time-out  
occurs, the current EPP cycle is aborted and the  
time-out condition is indicated in Status bit 0.  
The timing for a read operation (data) is shown  
in timing diagram EPP 1.7 Read Data cycle.  
IOCHRDY is driven active low when nWAIT is  
active low during the EPP cycle. This can be  
used to extend the cycle time. The read cycle  
can complete when nWAIT is inactive high.  
Software Constraints  
Before an EPP cycle is executed, the software  
must ensure that the control register bits D0, D1  
and D3 are set to zero. Also, bit D5 (PCD) is a  
logic "0" for an EPP write or a logic "1" for and  
EPP read.  
Read Sequence of Operation  
1. The host sets PDIR bit in the control  
register to a logic "1". This deasserts  
nWRITE and tri-states the PData bus.  
2. The host selects an EPP register and drives  
nIOR active.  
3. Chip asserts nDATASTB or nADDRSTRB  
indicating that PData bus is tri-stated, PDIR  
is set and the nWRITE signal is valid.  
4. If nWAIT is asserted, IOCHRDY is  
deasserted until the peripheral deasserts  
nWAIT or a time-out occurs.  
EPP 1.7 Write  
The timing for a write operation (address or  
data) is shown in timing diagram EPP 1.7 Write  
Data or Address cycle. IOCHRDY is driven  
active low when nWAIT is active low during the  
EPP cycle. This can be used to extend the cycle  
time.  
The write cycle can complete when  
nWAIT is inactive high.  
5. The Peripheral drives PData bus valid.  
Write Sequence of Operation  
1. The host sets PDIR bit in the control  
register to a logic "0".  
nWRITE.  
This asserts  
93  
6. The Peripheral deasserts nWAIT, indicating  
that PData is valid and the chip may begin  
the termination phase of the cycle.  
7. When the host deasserts nIOR the chip  
deasserts nDATASTB or nADDRSTRB.  
8. Peripheral tri-states the PData bus.  
9. Chip may modify nWRITE, PDIR and  
nPDATA in preparation of the next cycle.

This output shows the direction of the data transfer on the  
parallel port bus. A low means an output/write condition and  
a high means an input/read condition. This signal is  
normally a low (output/write) unless PCD of the control  
register is set or if an EPP read cycle is in progress.  
Note 1: SPP and EPP can use one common register.  
Note 2: nWrite is the only EPP output that can be over-ridden by SPP control port during an EPP  
cycle. For correct EPP read cycles, PCD is required to be a low.

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

I
This signal deasserts to indicate that the peripheral can accept data.  
This signal handshakes with nStrobe in the forward direction. In the  
reverse direction this signal indicates whether the data lines contain  
ECP command information or data. The peripheral uses this signal to  
flow control in the forward direction. It is an "interlocked" handshake  
with nStrobe. PeriphAck also provides command information in the  
reverse direction.

It is an "interlocked" handshake with nAck. HostAck also provides  
command information in the forward phase.  
nFault  
(nPeriphRequest)  
I
Generates an error interrupt when asserted. This signal provides a  
mechanism for peer-to-peer communication. This signal is valid only in  
the forward direction. During ECP Mode the peripheral is permitted  
(but not required) to drive this pin low to request a reverse transfer. The  
request is merely a "hint" to the host; the host has ultimate control over  
the transfer direction. This signal would be typically used to generate  
an interrupt to the host CPU.  
nInit  
O
O
Sets the transfer direction (asserted = reverse, deasserted = forward).  
This pin is driven low to place the channel in the reverse direction. The  
peripheral is only allowed to drive the bi-directional data bus while in  
ECP Mode and HostAck is low and nSelectIn is high.  
nSelectIn  
Always deasserted in ECP mode.

BIT 5 PError  
The Data Port is located at an offset of '00H'  
from the base address. The data register is  
cleared at initialization by RESET. During a  
WRITE operation, the Data Register latches the  
contents of the data bus on the rising edge of  
the nIOW input. The contents of this register  
are buffered (non inverting) and output onto the  
PD0-PD7 ports. During a READ operation,  
PD0-PD7 ports are read and output to the host  
CPU.

the Printer Status Register these bits are a low  
level. The bits of the Status Port are defined as  
follows:  
BIT 2 nINIT - nINITIATE OUTPUT  
This bit is output onto the nINIT output without  
inversion.  
BIT 3 nFault  
The level on the nFault input is read by the CPU  
as bit 3 of the Device Status Register.  
BIT 3 SELECTIN  
This bit is inverted and output onto the nSLCTIN  
output. A logic “1” on this bit selects the printer;  
a logic 0 means the printer is not selected.

tFifo (Test FIFO Mode)  
ADDRESS OFFSET = 400H  
Mode = 110  
The interrupt request enable bit when set to a  
high level may be used to enable interrupt  
requests from the Parallel Port to the CPU due  
to a low to high transition on the nACK input.  
Refer to the description of the interrupt under  
Operation, Interrupts.  
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.  
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).  
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.  
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  
The FIFO size and interrupt threshold can be  
determined by writing bytes to the FIFO and  
checking the full and serviceIntr bits.  
Bytes written or DMAed from the system to this  
FIFO are transmitted by a hardware handshake  
to the peripheral using the standard parallel port  
The writeIntrThreshold can be determined by  
starting with a full tFIFO, setting the direction bit  
to 0 and emptying it a byte at a time until  
serviceIntr is set. This may generate a spurious  
interrupt, but will indicate that the threshold has  
been reached.  
protocol.  
Transfers to the FIFO are byte  
aligned. This mode is only defined for the  
forward direction.  
ecpDFifo (ECP Data FIFO)  
ADDRESS OFFSET = 400H  
Mode = 011  
The readIntrThreshold can be determined by  
setting the direction bit to 1 and filling the empty  
tFIFO a byte at a time until serviceIntr is set.  
This may generate a spurious interrupt, but will  
indicate that the threshold has been reached.  
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.  
Data bytes are always read from the head of  
tFIFO regardless of the value of the direction bit.  
For example if 44h, 33h, 22h are written to the  
FIFO, then reading the tFIFO will return 44h,  
33h, 22h in the same order as was written.  
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.

0: Enables an interrupt pulse on the high to  
low edge of nFault. Note that an interrupt

lost in the time between the read of the ecr

000: Standard Parallel Port Mode. In this mode the FIFO is reset and common collector drivers  
are used on the control lines (nStrobe, nAutoFd, nInit and nSelectIn). Setting the direction  
bit will not tri-state the output drivers in this mode.  
001: PS/2 Parallel Port Mode. Same as above except that direction may be used to tri-state the  
data lines and reading the data register returns the value on the data lines and not the  
value in the data register. All drivers have active pull-ups (push-pull).  
010: Parallel Port FIFO Mode. This is the same as 000 except that bytes are written or DMAed to  
the FIFO. FIFO data is automatically transmitted using the standard parallel port protocol.  
Note that this mode is only useful when direction is 0. All drivers have active pull-ups  
(push-pull).  
011: ECP Parallel Port Mode. In the forward direction (direction is 0) bytes placed into the  
ecpDFifo and bytes written to the ecpAFifo are placed in a single FIFO and transmitted  
automatically to the peripheral using ECP Protocol. In the reverse direction (direction is 1)  
bytes are moved from the ECP parallel port and packed into bytes in the ecpDFifo. All

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 nStrobe signal  
to default to the deasserted state.  
Set autoFd = 0, causing the nAutoFd  
signal to default to the deasserted state.  
Set mode = 011 (ECP Mode)  
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).  
·
·
ECP address/RLE bytes or data bytes may be  
sent automatically by writing the ecpAFifo or  
ecpDFifo respectively.  
Setting the mode to 011 or 010 will cause the  
hardware to initiate data transfer.  
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.  
If the port is in mode 000 or 001 it may switch to  
any other mode. If the port is not in mode 000  
or 001 it can only be switched into mode 000 or  
001. The direction can only be changed in  
mode 001.  
The host may switch directions by first switching  
to mode = 001, negotiating for the forward or  
Once in an extended forward mode the software  
should wait for the FIFO to be empty before  
switching back to mode 000 or 001. In this case  
all control signals will be deasserted before the  
mode switch. In an ecp reverse mode the  
software waits for all the data to be read from  
the FIFO before changing back to mode 000 or  
001. Since the automatic hardware ecp reverse  
handshake only cares about the state of the  
FIFO it may have acquired extra data which will  
be discarded. It may in fact be in the middle of a  
transfer when the mode is changed back to 000  
or 001. In this case the port will deassert  
nAutoFd independent of the state of the transfer.  
The design shall not cause glitches on the  
handshake signals if the software meets the  
constraints above.  
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 transitioned  
into the forward direction.  
ECP Operation  
Prior to ECP operation the Host must negotiate  
on the parallel port to determine if the peripheral  
supports the ECP protocol. This is a somewhat  
complex negotiation carried out under program  
control in mode 000.

The most significant bit of the command  
indicates whether it is a run-length count (for  
compression) or a channel address.

implemented by allowing the transfer of normal

indicates that the next byte should be expanded  
to 128 bytes. To prevent data expansion,  
however, run-length counts of zero should be  
avoided.  
The ECP port supports run length encoded  
(RLE) decompression in hardware and can  
transfer compressed data to a peripheral. Run  
length encoded (RLE) compression in hardware  
is not supported. To transfer compressed data  
in ECP mode, the compression count is written  
to the ecpAFifo and the data byte is written to  
the ecpDFifo.  
Pin Definition  
The drivers for nStrobe, nAutoFd, nInit and  
nSelectIn are open-collector in mode 000 and  
are push-pull in all other modes.  
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  
The interface can never stall causing the host to  
hang. The width of data transfers is strictly  
controlled on an I/O address basis per this  
specification. All FIFO-DMA transfers are byte  
wide, byte aligned and end on a byte boundary.

by the selected mode. The FIFO is used by  
selecting the Parallel Port FIFO mode or ECP  
Parallel Port Mode. (FIFO test mode will be

can occur during Programmed  
I/O if the number of bytes

threshold.  
The interrupt generated is ISA friendly in that it  
must pulse the interrupt line low, allowing for  
interrupt sharing.  
following the interrupt event, the interrupt line is  
tri-stated so that other interrupts may assert.

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.  
An interrupt is generated when:  
1. For DMA transfers: When serviceIntr is 0,  
dmaEn is 1 and the DMA TC is received.  
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.  
2. For Programmed I/O:  
a. When serviceIntr is 0, dmaEn is 0,

The ECP activates the PDRQ pin whenever  
there is data in the FIFO. The DMA controller  
must respond to the request by reading data  
from the FIFO. The ECP will deactivate the  
PDRQ pin when the FIFO becomes empty or  
when the TC becomes true (qualified by  
nPDACK), indicating that no more data is  
required. PDRQ goes inactive after nPDACK  
goes active for the last byte of a data transfer  
(or on the active edge of nIOR, on the last byte,  
if no edge is present on nPDACK). If PDRQ  
goes inactive due to the FIFO going empty, then  
PDRQ is active again as soon as there is one  
byte in the FIFO. If PDRQ goes inactive due to  
the TC, then PDRQ is active again when there  
is one byte in the FIFO, and serviceIntr has  
been re-enabled. (Note: A data underrun may  
occur if PDRQ is not removed in time to prevent  
an unwanted cycle.)  
DMA TRANSFERS  
DMA transfers are always to or from the  
ecpDFifo, tFifo or CFifo. DMA utilizes the  
standard PC DMA services. To use the DMA  
transfers, the host first sets up the direction and  
state as in the programmed I/O case. Then it  
programs the DMA controller in the host with the  
desired count and memory address. Lastly it  
sets dmaEn to 1 and serviceIntr to 0. The ECP  
requests DMA transfers from the host by  
activating the PDRQ pin. The DMA will empty  
or fill the FIFO using the appropriate direction  
and mode. When the terminal count in the DMA  
controller is reached, an interrupt is generated  
and serviceIntr is asserted, disabling DMA. In  
order to prevent possible blocking of refresh  
requests dReq shall not be asserted for more  
than 32 DMA cycles in a row. The FIFO is  
enabled directly by asserting nPDACK and  
addresses need not be valid. PINTR is  
generated when a TC is received. PDRQ must  
not be asserted for more than 32 DMA cycles in  
a row. After the 32nd cycle, PDRQ must be  
kept unasserted until nPDACK is deasserted for  
a minimum of 350nsec. (Note: The only way to  
properly terminate DMA transfers is with a TC).  
DMA may be disabled in the middle of a transfer  
by first disabling the host DMA controller. Then  
setting serviceIntr to 1, followed by setting  
dmaEn to 0, and waiting for the FIFO to  
become empty or full. Restarting the DMA is  
accomplished by enabling DMA in the host,  
setting dmaEn to 1, followed by setting  
serviceIntr to 0.  
Programmed I/O 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 writeIntrThreshold,  
readIntrThreshold, 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 serviceIntr to 0.  
The ECP requests programmed I/O transfers  
from the host by activating the PINTR pin. The  
programmed I/O will empty or fill the FIFO using  
the appropriate direction and mode.  
DMA Mode - Transfers from the FIFO to the  
Host  
(Note: In the reverse mode, the peripheral may  
not continue to fill the FIFO if it runs out of data  
to transfer, even if the chip continues to request  
more data from the peripheral).  
Note: A threshold of 16 is equivalent to a  
threshold of 15. These two cases are treated  
the same.

In the reverse direction an interrupt occurs when  
serviceIntr is 0 and readIntrThreshold bytes are  
available in the FIFO. If at this time the FIFO is  
full it can be emptied completely in a single  
burst, otherwise readIntrThreshold bytes may  
be read from the FIFO in a single burst.  
In the forward direction an interrupt occurs when  
serviceIntr is 0 and there are writeIntrThreshold  
or more bytes free in the FIFO. At this time if  
the FIFO is empty it can be filled with a single  
burst before the empty bit needs to be re-read.  
Otherwise

PARALLEL PORT FLOPPY DISK CONTROLLER  
The following parallel port pins are read as  
In this mode, the Floppy Disk Control signals  
are available on the parallel port pins. When  
this mode is selected, the parallel port is not  
available. There are two modes of operation,  
PPFD1 and PPFD2. These modes can be  
selected in the Parallel Port Mode Register, as  
defined in the Parallel Port Mode Register,  
Logical Device 3, at 0xF1. PPFD1 has only  
drive 1 on the parallel port pins; PPFD2 has  
drive 0 and 1 on the parallel port pins.

The following FDC pins are all in the high  
impedence state when the PPFDC is actually  
selected by the drive select register:  
When the PPFDC is selected the following pins  
are set as follows:  
1. nPDACK: high-Z  
2. PDRQ: not ECP = high-Z, ECP & dmaEn =  
0, ECP & not dmaEn = high-Z  
3. PINTR: not active, this is hi-Z or Low  
depending on settings.

2. If PPFDx is selected, then the parallel port  
can not be used as a parallel port until  
"Normal" mode is selected.  
Note:  
nPDACK, PDRQ and PINTR refer to  
the nDACK, DRQ and IRQ chosen for  
the parallel port.

AUTO POWER MANAGEMENT  
Power management capabilities are provided for  
DSR From Powerdown  
the following logical devices: floppy disk, UART  
1, UART 2 and the parallel port. For each  
logical device, two types of power management  
are provided; direct powerdown and auto  
powerdown.  
If DSR powerdown is used when the part is in  
auto powerdown, the DSR powerdown will  
override the auto powerdown. However, when  
the part is awakened from DSR powerdown, the  
auto powerdown will once again become  
effective.  
FDC Power Management  
Direct power management is controlled by  
CR22. Refer to CR22 for more information.  
Wake Up From Auto Powerdown  
If the part enters the powerdown state through  
the auto powerdown mode, then the part can be  
awakened by reset or by appropriate access to  
certain registers.  
Auto power management is enabled by CR23-  
B0. When set, this bit allows FDC to enter  
powerdown when all of the following conditions  
have been met:  
If a hardware or software reset is used then the  
part will go through the normal reset sequence.  
If the access is through the selected registers,  
then the FDC resumes operation as though it  
was never in powerdown. Besides activating the  
RESET pin or one of the software reset bits in  
the DOR or DSR, the following register  
accesses will wake up the part:  
1. The motor enable pins of register 3F2H are  
inactive (zero).  
2. The part must be idle; MSR=80H and INT =  
0 (INT may be high even if MSR = 80H due  
to polling interrupts).  
3. The head unload timer must have expired.  
4. The Auto powerdown timer (10msec) must  
have timed out.  
1. Enabling any one of the motor enable bits  
in the DOR register (reading the DOR does  
not awaken the part).  
2. A read from the MSR register.  
3. A read or write to the Data register.  
An internal timer is initiated as soon as the auto  
powerdown command is enabled. The part is  
then powered down when all the conditions are  
met.  
Disabling the auto powerdown mode cancels the  
timer and holds the FDC block out of auto  
powerdown.  
Once awake, the FDC will reinitiate the auto  
powerdown timer for 10 ms. The part will  
powerdown again when all the powerdown  
conditions are satisfied.  
111  
Register Behavior  
Pin Behavior  
Table 47 reiterates the AT and PS/2 (including  
Model 30) configuration registers available. It  
also shows the type of access permitted. In  
order to maintain software transparency, access  
to all the registers must be maintained. As  
Table 47 shows, two sets of registers are  
distinguished based on whether their access  
results in the part remaining in powerdown state  
or exiting it.  
The FDC37C93xFR is specifically designed for  
portable PC systems in which power  
conservation is a primary concern. This makes  
the behavior of the pins during powerdown very  
important.  
The pins of the FDC37C93xFR can be divided  
into two major categories: system interface and  
floppy disk drive interface. The floppy disk drive  
pins are disabled so that no power will be drawn  
through the part as a result of any voltage  
applied to the pin within the part's power supply  
range. Most of the system interface pins are left  
active to monitor system accesses that may  
wake up the part.  
Access to all other registers is possible without  
awakening the part. These registers can be  
accessed during powerdown without changing  
the status of the part. A read from these  
registers will reflect the true status as shown in  
the register description in the FDC description.  
A write to the part will result in the part retaining  
the data and subsequently reflecting it when the  
System Interface Pins  
part awakens.  
Accessing the part during  
Table 48 gives the state of the system interface  
pins in the powerdown state. Pins unaffected by  
the powerdown are labeled "Unchanged". Input  
pins are "Disabled" to prevent them from  
causing currents internal to the FDC37C93xFR  
when they have indeterminate input values.  
powerdown may cause an increase in the power  
consumption by the part. The part will revert  
back to its low power mode when the access  
has been completed.

INTEGRATED DRIVE ELECTRONICS INTERFACE  
The FDC37C93xFR contains two IDE interfaces.  
AT Host. There are two groups of registers,  
the AT Task File, and the Miscellaneous AT  
Register.  
This enables hard disks with embedded  
controllers (AT or IDE) to be interfaced to the  
host processor. The IDE interface performs the  
address decoding for the IDE interface,  
generates the buffer enables for external buffers  
and provides internal buffers for the low byte  
IDE data transfers. For more information, refer  
to the IDE pin descriptions and the ATA  
specification. The following example uses IDE1  
ADDRESS 1F0H-1F7H; 170H-177H  
These AT registers contain the Task File  
Registers. These registers communicate data,  
command, and status information with the AT  
host, and are addressed when nHCS0 or nHCS2  
is low.

programmed as an alternate function.  
RD Bus Functionality  
The following four cases described below  
illustrate the use of the RD Bus.  
Case 4: nROMCS and nROMOE as alternate  
function. Same as Case 3.  
Case 1: nROMCS and nROMOE as original  
function. The RD bus can be used as the RD  
bus or one or more RD pins can be  
8042 Functions  
programmed as alternate function.  
These  
The second alternate function for pins 113-118  
are the 8042 functions P12-P17. These are  
implemented as in a true 8042 part. Reference  
the 8042 specification for all timing. A port  
signal of 0 drives the output to 0. A port signal  
of 1 causes the port enable signal to drive the  
output to 1 within 20-30nsec. After several (#  
TBD) clocks, the port enable goes away and the  
internal 90µA pull-up maintains the output signal  
as 1.  
alternate functions behave as follows: if in RD to  
SD mode, any value on RDx will appear on SDx;  
if in SD to RD mode, SDx will not appear on  
RDx, RDx gets the alternate function value.  
Note: In this case, nROMCS=0, nROMOE=1.  
Case 2: nROMOE as alternate function  
(nROMOE internally tied to ground). In this  
case, the RD bus is a unidirectional bus (read  
only) controlled by nROMCS. If nROMCS = 0,  
the values on RD0-7 appear on SD0-7. If  
nROMCS = 1, the RD bus is disabled, and  
nothing appears on the SD bus. Note: any RD  
bus pin can be programmed as an alternate  
function, however, if nROMCS=0, then anything  
on the RD bus will appear on the SD bus.  
In 8042 mode, the pins can be programmed as  
open drain. When programmed in open drain  
mode, the port enables do not come into play. If  
the port signal is 0 the output will be 0. If the  
port signal is 1, the output tristates: an external  
pull-up can pull the pin high, and the pin can be  
shared i.e., P12 and nSMI can be externally tied  
together. In 8042 mode, the pins cannot be  
programmed as input nor inverted through the  
GP configuration registers.

GPI/O registers GP1 through GP7, as well as  
the Soft Power and SMI Enable and Status  
registers, can be accessed by the host when the  
chip is in the normal run mode if CR03 Bit[7]=1.  
The host uses an index and data register to  
access these registers. The Power on default  
index and data registers are 0xEA and 0xEB  
respectively. In configuration mode the index  
address may be programmed to reside on  
addresses 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 GP1 through GP7 and  
Soft Power and SMI Enable and Status  
Registers.  
To access the GP1 register when in normal  
(run) mode, the host should perform an IOW of  
0x01 to the index register (at 0xEX) to select  
GP1 and then read or write the data register (at  
Index+1) to access the GP1 register. To access  
GP2 the host should perform an IOW of 0x02 to  
the index register and then access GP2 through  
the data register. GP4-7 and the soft power and  
SMI  
registers  
are  
accessed  
similarly.  
Additionally the host can access the  
WDT_CTRL (Watch Dog Timer Control)  
Configuration Register while in the normal (run)  
mode by writing an 0x03 to the index register.  
The GP registers can also be accessed by the  
host when in configuration mode through CRF6-  
FB of Logical Device 8.

In addition, the GPI/O port may be optionally

General Purpose I/O Configuration Registers  
Assigned to each GPI/O port is an 8-bit GPI/O  
Configuration Register which is used to  
independently program each I/O port. The

in  
the  
FDC37C93xFR System Configuration Section.  
The Combined Interrupt is the "ORed" function  
of the interrupt enabled GPI/O ports and will  
represent a standard ISA interrupt (edge high).  
Each GPI/O port may be programmed as either  
a simple inverting or non-inverting input or  
output port, or as an alternate function port. The  
least-significant four bits of each GPI/O  
Configuration Register define the operation of  
the respective GPI/O port. The basic GPI/O  
operations are outlined in Table 52.  
When programmed as an input steered onto  
the General Purpose Combined Interrupt (GP  
IRQ), the Interrupt Circuitry contains  
a
selectable debounce/digital filter circuit in  
order that switches or push-buttons may be  
directly connected to the chip. This filter will  
reject signals with pulse widths of 1ms or less.

WATCH DOG TIMER/POWER LED CONTROL  
Pins 30 (nIOROP/GP46) and 111 (RD0/GP60)  
BASIC FUNCTIONS  
can also be configured for Power LED.  
The FDC37C93xFR contains a Watch Dog  
Timer (WDT) and also has the capability to  
directly drive the system's Power-on LED.  
WATCH DOG TIMER  
The FDC37C93xFR's WDT has a programmable  
time-out ranging from one to 255 minutes with  
one minute resolution, or one to 255 seconds  
with one second resolution. The units of the  
WDT timeout value are selected via bit[7] of the  
GPA_GPW_EN register (located at 0xF1 of  
Logical Device 8). The WDT time-out value is  
set through the WDT_VAL Configuration  
register. Setting the WDT_VAL register to 0x00  
disables the WDT function (this is its power on  
default). Setting the WDT_VAL to any other  
non-zero value will cause the WDT to reload  
and begin counting down from the value loaded.  
When the WDT count value reaches zero the  
counter stops and sets the Watchdog time-out  
status bit in the WDT_CTRL Configuration  
Register. Note: Regardless of the current state  
of the WDT, the WDT time-out status bit can be  
directly set or cleared by the Host CPU.  
The Watch Dog time-out status bit (WDT_CTRL  
bit-0) is mapped to GP12 when the alternate  
function bit of the GP12 Configuration Register  
is set "and" bit 6 of the IR Options Register = 0.  
In addition, the Watch Dog time-out status bit  
may be mapped to an interrupt through the  
WDT_CFG Configuration Register.  
Pins 30 (nIOROP/GP46) and 112 (RD1/GP61)  
can also be configured for WDT.  
GP13 may be configured as a high current LED  
driver to drive the power LED.  
This is  
accomplished by setting the alternate function  
bit of the GP13 Configuration Register "and"  
clearing bit 6 of the IR Options Register.  
The infrared signals, IRRX and IRTX, are  
mapped to GP12 and GP13 when the alternate  
function bit of the GP12 and GP13  
Configuration Registers is set "and" bit-6 of the  
IR Options Register is set.  
There are three system events which can reset  
the WDT, these are a Keyboard Interrupt, a  
Mouse Interrupt, or I/O reads/writes to address  
0x201 (the internal or an external Joystick Port).  
128  
The effect on the WDT for each of these system  
events may be individually enabled or disabled  
through bits in the WDT_CFG configuration  
register. When a system event is enabled  
through the WDT_CFG register, the occurrence  
of that event will cause the WDT to reload the  
value stored in WDT_VAL and reset the WDT  
time-out status bit if set. If all three system  
events are disabled the WDT will inevitably time  
out.  
The host may force a Watch Dog time-out to  
occur by writing a "1" to bit 2 of the WDT_CTRL  
(Force WD Time-out) Configuration Register.  
Writing a "1" to this bit forces the WDT count  
value to zero and sets bit 0 of the WDT_CTRL  
(Watch Dog Status). Bit 2 of the WDT_CTRL is  
self-clearing.  
Power LED Toggle  
Setting bit 1 of the WDT_CTRL Configuration  
Register will cause the power LED output driver  
to toggle at 1 Hertz with a 50 percent duty cycle.  
When this bit is cleared the Power LED output  
will drive continuously unless it has been  
configured to toggle on Watch Dog time-out  
conditions. Setting bit 3 of the WDT_CFG  
Configuration Register will cause the Power LED  
output driver to toggle at 1 Hertz with a 50  
percent duty cycle whenever the WDT time-out  
status bit is set. The truth table below clarifies  
the conditions for which the power LED will  
toggle.  
The Watch Dog Timer may be configured to  
generate an interrupt on the rising edge of the  
time-out status bit.  
mapped to an interrupt channel through the  
WDT_CFG Configuration Register. When  
The WDT interrupt is  
mapped to an interrupt the interrupt request pin  
reflects the value of the WDT time-out status bit.  
When the polarity bit is 0, GP12 reflect the value  
of the Watch Dog Time-out status bit, however,  
when the polarity bit is 1, GP12 reflects the  
inverted value of the Watch Dog Time-out status  
bit. This is also true for the other two pins used  
for WDT; nIOROP (GP46) and RD1 (GP61).  
When the polarity bit is 0, the power LED output  
asserts or drives low. If the polarity bit is 1 then  
the power LED output asserts or drives high.

GENERAL PURPOSE ADDRESS DECODER  
GENERAL PURPOSE WRITE  
General Purpose I/O pin GP15 may be  
configured as a General Purpose Write pin. The  
General Purpose Write provides an output  
decoded from the 12-bit address stored in a  
two-byte Base I/O Address Register (Logical  
Device 8 Configuration Registers 0x62, 0x63)  
qualified with IOW and AEN. This General  
General Purpose I/O pin GP14 may be  
configured as a General Purpose Address  
Decode Pin. The General Purpose Address  
Decoder provides an output decoded from bits  
A11-A1 of the 12-bit address stored in a two-  
byte Base I/O Address Register (Logical Device  
8 Configuration Registers 0x60, 0x61) qualified  
with AEN. Thus, the decoder provides a two  
address decode where A0=X. This General  
Purpose output is normally active low, however  
the polarity may be altered through the polarity  
bit in its GPI/O Configuration Register.

The polarity of nIDE2_OE, which is normally  
active low, is programmable through a bit in the  
GP20 Configuration Register.  
GP16 Joystick Function  
The FDC37C93xFR may be configured to  
generate either a Joystick Chip Select or a  
Joystick Read Strobe on GP16. The polarity is  
programmable through a bit in the GP16  
configuration register. When configured as a  
Joystick Chip Select the output is simply a  
decode of the address = 0x201 qualified by AEN  
active. When configured as a Joystick Read  
Strobe the output is a decode of the address =  
0x201 qualified by IOR and AEN both active.  
The Joystick Chip Select or Read Strobe is  
normally active low, however, its polarity is  
programmable through a bit in the GP20  
Configuration Register.  
SERIAL EEPROM INTERFACE  
Four of the FDC37C93xFR's general purpose  
I/O pins may be configured to provide a four  
wire direct interface to a family of industry  
standard serial EEPROMs.  
For proper  
operation the polarity bits of these four pins  
must be set to 0 (non-inverting). The interface  
is depicted below and will allow connection to  
either a 93C06 (256-bit), a 93C46 (1K-bit), a  
93C56 (2K-bit), or a 93C66 (4K-bit) device.

GP17 JOYSTICK FUNCTION  
The FDC37C93xFR may be configured to  
generate a Joystick Write Strobe on GP17.  
When configured as a Joystick Write Strobe the  
output is a decode of the address = 0x201  
qualified by IOW and AEN both active.  
Reset out is an internal signal from the keyboard  
controller (Port 20). The FDC37C93xFR may be  
configured to drive this signal onto GP20 by  
programming its GPI/O configuration register.  
Access to the serial EEPROM is only available  
when the FDC37C93xFR is in the configuration  
mode. A set of six configuration registers,  
located in Logical Device 6 (RTC) is used to  
fully access and configure the serial EEPROM.  
The registers are defined as follows:  
The Joystick Write Strobe is normally active  
low, however, its polarity is programmable  
through  
a bit in the GP20 Configuration  
Register.  
IDE2 BUFFER ENABLE/RESET OUT  
The FDC37C93xFR may be configured to  
provide an nIDE2_OE buffer enable signal on  
pin GP20. The IDE2 Mode Register (0xF0 of  
SERIAL EEPROM MODE REGISTER, 0XF1  
BIT 3-0  
Logical Device 2) contains  
a
bit which  
These are the lock bits which once set deny  
access to the serial EEPROM's first 128 bytes in  
32 byte blocks. Bit 0 locks the first block, bit 1  
the second block, bit 2 the third block and bit 3  
the fourth block of 32 bytes. Once these lock  
bits are set they cannot be reset in any way  
other than by a Hard reset or a Power-on reset.  
determines whether nIDE1_OE or nIDE2_OE is  
active for IDE2 transfers. If GP20 is selected  
as a General Purpose I/O pin, IDE2 I/O  
accesses must be configured to activate  
nIDE1_OE for IDE2 transfers if a secondary  
hard drive interface is present.  
131  
When = (1,0) bit 0 is cleared on the first write of  
the Write EEPROM Data register. This status  
indicates that the serial device controller has  
received one byte (LSB) and is waiting for the  
second byte (MSB).  
BIT 4  
This selects the type of EEPROM connected to  
the FDC37C93xFR. If cleared, the device must  
be either a 93C06 or 93C46 and if set the device  
must be either an 93C56 or 93C66. This bit  
must be properly set before attempting to  
access the serial EEPROM.  
When = (0,0) bit 1 is cleared on the second

Status register. The second write resets bit 1 of  
the Write Status register and generates a write  
cycle to the serial EEPROM. The Write Status  
register must be polled before performing a pair  
of writes to this register.  
BIT 7-0  
This register allows the host to read data from  
the serial EEPROM. Data is not valid in this  
register until bit 0 of the Read Status Register is  
set. Since the EEPROM is a 16-bit device, this  
register presents the LSB followed by the MSB  
for each pair of register reads. Immediately after  
the MSB is read, bit 0 of the Read Status

Keyboard Status Read  
This is an 8 bit read only register. If enabled by  
"ENABLE FLAGS", when read, the KIRQ output  
is cleared and the OBF flag in the status register  
is cleared. If not enabled, the KIRQ and/or  
AUXOBF1 must be cleared in software.  
This is an 8 bit read only register. Refer to the  
description of the Status Register for more  
information.  
RTC Address Register  
Writing to this register sets the CMOS address  
that will be read or written.  
135  
RTC Data Register  
CPU-to-Host Communication  
A read of this register will read the contents of  
the selected CMOS register. A write to this  
register will write to the selected CMOS register.  
The FDC37C93xFR CPU 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 57.  
Table 57 - Host Interface Flags  
8042 INSTRUCTION  
FLAG  
OUT DBB  
Set OBF, and, if enabled, the KIRQ output signal goes high  
If "EN FLAGS” has not been executed; KIRQ  
can be controlled by writing to P24. Writing a  
Host-to-CPU Communication  
“0” to P24 forces KIRQ low; a high forces KIRQ  
high.  
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.  
MIRQ  
If "EN FLAGS" has been executed and P25 is  
set to a “1”, IBF is inverted and gated onto  
MIRQ. The MIRQ signal can be connected to  
system  
interrupt  
to  
signify  
that  
the  
FDC37C93xFR’s CPU has read the DBB  
register.  
KIRQ  
If "EN FLAGS" has been executed and P24 is  
set to a one: the OBF flag is gated onto KIRQ.  
The KIRQ signal can be connected to system  
interrupt to signify that the FDC37C93xFR’s  
CPU has written to the output data register via  
"OUT DBB, A". If P24 is set to a “0”, KIRQ is  
forced low. On power-up, after a valid RST  
pulse has been delivered to the device, KIRQ is  
reset to 0. KIRQ will normally reflects the status  
of writes "DBB". (KIRQ is normally selected as  
IRQ1 for keyboard support.)  
If "EN FLAGS” has not been executed, MIRQ is  
controlled by P25. Writing a “0” to P25 forces  
MIRQ low; a high forces MIRQ high. (MIRQ is  
normally selected as IRQ12 for mouse support.)

program execution resumes with a CALL to the

MOUSE  
Industry-standard PCAT-compatible keyboards  
employ a two-wire, bidirectional TTL interface  
for data transmission. Several sources also  
supply PS/2 mouse products that employ the  
same type of interface. To facilitate system  
expansion, the FDC37C93xFR provides four  
signal pins that may be used to implement this  
interface directly for an external keyboard and  
mouse.

The FDC37C93xFR has four high-drive, open-  
drain output, bidirectional port pins that can be  
used for external serial interfaces, such as ISA

MDAT. P26 is inverted and output as KCLK. The  
KCLK pin is connected to TEST0. P27 is  
inverted and output as KDAT. The KDAT pin is  
connected to P10. P23 is inverted and output

EXTERNAL CLOCK SIGNAL  
The FDC37C93xFR’s X1K clock source is a 12  
MHz clock generated from a 14.318 MHz clock.  
The reset pulse must last for at least 24 16 MHz  
clock periods. The pulse-width requirement  
applies to both internally-and externally-  
generated reset signals. In powerdown mode,  
the external clock signal on X1K is not loaded by  
the chip.

whether the input data register contains  
data or a command (0 = data, 1 =

The diagram on the following page illustrates  
the generation of the nALT_RST function. If  
software control is selected, i.e., bit 0 of  
KRST_GA20 is set to 0, the reset pulse is  
generated by the 8042 upon writing an FE  
command to register 64. If hardware speed-up  
is selected, i.e., bit 0 of KRST_GA20 is set to 1,  
the reset pulse is generated in hardware upon  
writing an FE command to register 64.  
control.  
This signal is ANDed together  
externally with the reset signal (nKBDRST) from  
the keyboard controller to provide a software  
means of resetting the CPU. This provides a  
faster means of reset than is provided by the  
keyboard controller. Writing a 1 to bit 0 in the  
Port 92 Register causes this signal to pulse low  
for a minimum of 6µs, after a delay of a  
minimum of 14µs. Before another nALT_RST  
pulse can be generated, bit 0 must be set to 0  
either by a system reset of a write to Port 92.  
Upon reset, this signal is driven inactive high (bit  
0 in the Port 92 Register is set to 0).  
In addition, if Port 92 is enabled, i.e., bit 2 of  
KRST_GA20 is set to 1, then a pulse is also  
generated by writing a 1 to bit 0 of the Port 92  
Register and this pulse is ANDed with the pulse  
generated above. This pulse is output on pin  
KRESET and its polarity is controlled by the  
GPI/O polarity configuration.

GateA20 / KRESET Hardware Speed-Up  
GATEA20 and KRESET is configured via a byte  
at F0 in the keyboard configuration space,  
Logical Device 7. The byte is defined in table 62  
below. (Engineering Note: This represents an  
addition to the FDC37C93x configuration  
space).  
The FDC37C93xFR contains on-chip logic  
support for the GATEA20 and KRESET  
hardware speed-up feature. GATEA20 from the  
chip is part of the control required to mask

When the chip receives a "D1" command  
followed by data (via the host interface), the on-  
chip hardware copies the value of data bit 1 in  
the received data field to the GATEA20 host  
latch. It also copies the value of D[0] to  
KRESET latch. At no time during this host-  
interface transaction will PCOBF or the IBF flag  
(bit 1) in the Status register be activated; i.e.,  
this host control of GATEA20 is transparent to  
firmware, with no consequent degradation of  
overall system performance. Table 63 details  
the possible GATEA20 sequences and the chip  
responses.  
On VCC1 POR, GATEA20 and KRESET pins  
will float.  
GATEA20 comes from either the software  
control or hardware speed-up and they are  
mutually exclusive.  
If Port 92 is enabled,  
GATEA20 from one of these two are merged  
along with Port 92. See Port 92 Section.  
KRESET comes from either the software control  
or hardware speed-up and they are mutually

one of these two are merged along with Port 92.

Once per second, the ten time, calendar and  
alarm 1 bytes, as well as the century byte and  
seven alarm 2 bytes are switched to the update  
logic to be advanced by one second and to  
check for an alarm condition. If any of these  
bytes are read at this time, the data outputs are  
undefined. The update cycle time is shown in  
Table 67. The update logic contains circuitry for  
automatic end-of-month recognition as well as  
automatic leap year compensation.  
Time, Calendar and Alarm  
The processor program obtains time and  
calendar information by reading the appropriate  
locations. The program may initialize the time,  
calendar and alarm by writing to these locations.  
The contents of the ten time, calendar and  
alarm 1 bytes can be in binary or BCD as shown  
in Table 66A. The contents of the century byte  
and seven alarm 2 bytes can also be in binary  
or BCD as shown in Table 66B.  
The three alarm 1 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 any  
hexadecimal byte from C0 to FF inclusive. That  
is the two most significant bits of each byte,  
when set to "1", create a "don't care" situation.  
An alarm interrupt each hour is created with a  
"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.  
Before initializing the internal registers, the SET  
bit in Register B should be set to a "1" to prevent  
time/calendar updates from occurring. The  
program initializes the ten locations in the binary  
or BCD format as defined by the DM bit in  
Register B. The SET bit may now be cleared to  
allow updates.  
The 12/24 bit in Register B establishes whether  
the hour locations represent 1 to 12 or 0 to 23.  
The 12/24 bit cannot be changed without  
reinitializing the hour locations. When the 12  
hour format is selected, the high order bit of the  
hours byte represents PM when it is a "1".

Register 7: Year Alarm 2  
Alarm 2 Function  
Alarm 2 can only be used as a wake-up alarm to  
turn on power to the system when the system is  
powered off. There are two bits used to control  
alarm 2. The Alarm 2 wake-up function is  
enabled via the Alarm 2 Enable bit, AL2_EN, in  
the Soft Power Enable Register 2. The alarm 2  
Remember Enable bit, AL2_REM_EN, in the  
RTC Control Register 1, is used to power-up the  
150  
system upon return of power if the Alarm 2 time  
has passed during loss of power. These bits  
function as follows:  
code is set in the year, month, date, day and  
hours alarm byte. An alarm is generated every  
minute with “don’t care” codes in the year,  
month, date, day, hours and minutes alarm  
bytes. The “don’t care” codes in all seven alarm  
bytes creates an interrupt every second. As a  
final example, an alarm is generated every one  
of a certain day of the week, i.e., every Friday,  
by specifying the “don’t care” code in the year,  
month and date of month bytes.  
If VTR is present: AL2_EN controls whether or  
not alarm 2 is enabled as a wake-up function. If  
AL2_EN is set and VTR=5V, the nPowerOn pin  
will go active (low) when the date/time is equal  
to the alarm 2 date/time and the power supply  
will turn on the machine.  
Update Cycle  
If VTR is not present: AL2_REM_EN controls  
whether or not alarm 2 will power-up the system  
upon the return of VTR, regardless of the value  
of AL2_EN. If AL2_REM_EN is set and VTR=0  
at the date/time that alarm 2 is set for, the  
nPowerOn pin will go active (low) as soon as  
VTR comes back and the machine will power-  
up.  
An update cycle is executed once per second if  
the SET bit in Register B is clear and the  
DV0-DV2 divider is not 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  
occurring.  
a
new one from  
The seven alarm 2 bytes may be used in two  
ways. First, when the alarm time is written in  
the appropriate year, month, date, day, hours,  
minutes, and seconds alarm locations, the  
alarm interrupt is initiated at the specified time  
on the day of the week, on the date of the  
month, in the year if the Alarm 2 Enable bit is  
high. The second usage is to insert a “don’t  
care” state into one or more of the alarm bytes.  
The “don’t care” code is any hexadecimal byte  
from C0 to FF inclusive. That is, the two most  
significant bits of each byte, when set to “1”  
create a “don’t care” situation. An alarm is  
generated each year if the year byte is set to a  
“don’t care” condition. Similarly, an alarm is  
generated every month with “don’t care” codes  
in the year and month bytes. An alarm is  
generated on every day of every month of every  
year with “don’t care” codes in the year, month,  
date of month and day of week bytes. An alarm  
is generated each hour, every day of the month,  
every month, every year when the “don’t care”  
The primary function of the update cycle is to  
increment the seconds 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 is present.  
The length of an update cycle is shown in Table  
67. During the update cycle, the time, calendar  
and alarm bytes are not accessible by the  
processor program. If the processor reads these  
locations before the update cycle is complete,  
the output will be undefined. The UIP (update in  
progress) status bit is set during the interval.  
When the UIP bit goes high, the update cycle  
will begin 244 ms later. Therefore, if a low is read  
on the UIP bit, the user has at least 244 ms  
before time/calendar data will be changed.

also used to reset the divider chain. When the  
time/calendar is first initialized, the program  
may start the divider chain at the precise time  
stored in the registers. When the divider reset is  
removed the first update begins one-half second  
later. These three read/write bits are not affected  
by RESET_DRV.  
The update in progress bit is a status flag that  
may be monitored by the program. When UIP is  
a "1" the update cycle is in progress or will soon  
begin. When UIP is a "0" the update cycle is not  
in progress and will not be for at least 244 ms.  
The time, calendar, and alarm information is  
fully available to the program when the UIP bit is  
zero. The UIP bit is a read- only bit and is not  
affected by RESET_DRV. Writing the SET bit in  
Register B to a "1" inhibits any update cycle and  
then clears the UIP status bit. The UIP bit is  
only valid when the RTC is enabled. Refer to  
Table 68.  
RS3-0  
The four rate selection bits select one of 15 taps  
on the divider chain or disable the divider  
output. The selected tap determines rate or  
frequency of the periodic interrupt. The program  
may enable or disable the interrupt with the PIE  
bit in Register B. Table 70 lists the periodic  
interrupt rates and equivalent output frequencies  
that may be chosen with the RS0-RS3 bits.  
These four bits are read/write bits which are not  
affected by RESET_DRV.

"0". The AIE bit is not affected by any internal

SET  
When the SET bit is a "0", the update functions  
normally by advancing the counts once per  
second. When the SET bit is a "1", an update  
cycle in progress is aborted and the program  
may initialize the time and calendar bytes  
without an update occurring in the middle of  
initialization. SET is a read/write bit which is not  
modified by RESET_DRV or any internal  
functions.  
UIE  
The update-ended interrupt enable bit is a  
read/write bit which enables the update-end flag  
(UF) bit in Register C to assert IRQB. The  
RESET_DRV port or the SET bit going high  
clears the UIE bit.  
RES  
PIE  
Reserved - read as “0”.  
The periodic interrupt enable bit is a read/write  
bit which allows the periodic-interrupt flag (PF)  
bit in Register C to cause the IRQB port to be  
driven low. The program writes a "1" to the PIE  
bit in order to receive periodic interrupts at the  
rate specified by the RS3-RS0 bits in Register  
A. A zero in PIE blocks IRQB from being  
initiated by a periodic interrupt, but the periodic  
flag (PF) is still set at the periodic rate. PIE is  
not modified by any internal function, but is  
cleared to "0" by a RESET_DRV.  
DM  
The data mode bit indicates whether time and  
calendar updates are to use binary or BCD

The 24/12 control bit establishes the format of  
the hours byte as either the 24 hour mode if set  
to a "1", or the 12 hour mode if cleared to a "0".  
This is a read/write bit which is not affected by  
RESET_DRV or any internal function.  
AIE  
The alarm interrupt enable bit is a read/write bit,  
which when set to a "1" permits the alarm flag  
(AF) bit in Register C to assert IRQB. An alarm  
interrupt occurs for each second that the three  
time  
bytes equal the three alarm bytes

The interrupt request flag is set to a "1" when  
one or more of the following are true:  
The alarm interrupt flag when set to a "1"  
indicates that the current time has matched the  
alarm time. A "1" in AF causes a "1" to appear in  
IRQF and the IRQB port to go low when the AIE  
bit is also a "1". A RESET_DRV or a read of  
Register C clears the AF bit.  
PF = PIE = 1  
AF = AIE = 1

Any time the IRQF bit is a "1", the IRQB signal  
is driven low. All flag bits are cleared after  
Register C is read or by the RESET_DRV port.  
UF  
The update-ended interrupt flag bit is set after  
each update cycle. When the UIE bit is also a  
"1", the "1" in UF causes the IRQF bit to be set  
and asserts IRQB. A RESET_DRV or a read of  
Register C causes UF to be cleared.  
PF  
The periodic interrupt flag 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-RS0 bits establish the periodic rate.  
PF is set to a "1" independent of the state of the  
PIE bit. PF being a "1" sets the IRQF bit and  
initiates an IRQB signal when PIE is also a "1".  
The PF bit is cleared by RESET_DRV or by a  
read of Register C.

VRT  
The processor program selects which interrupts,  
if any, it wishes to receive by writing a "1" to  
the appropriate enable bits in Register B. A "0"  
in an enable bit prohibits the IRQB port from  
being asserted due to that interrupt cause.  
When an interrupt event occurs a flag bit is set  
to a "1" in Register C. Each of the three interrupt  
sources have separate flag bits in Register C,  
which are set independent of the state of the  
corresponding enable bits in Register B. The  
flag bits may be used with or without enabling  
the corresponding enable bits. The flag bits in  
Register C are cleared (record of the interrupt  
event is erased) when Register C is read.  
Double latching is included in Register C to  
ensure the bits that are set are stable  
throughout the read cycle. All bits which are  
high when read by the program are cleared, and  
new interrupts are held until after the read cycle.  
If an interrupt flag is already set when the  
interrupt becomes enabled, the IRQB port is  
immediately activated, though the interrupt  
initiating the event may have occurred much  
earlier.  
VRT  
When a "1", this bit indicates that the contents  
of the RTC are valid. A "0" appears in the VRT  
bit when the battery voltage is low. The VRT bit  
is a read-only bit which can only be set by a  
read of Register D.  
Refer to Power  
Management for the conditions when this bit is  
reset. The processor program can set the VRT  
bit when the time and calendar are initialized to  
indicate that the time is valid.

Interrupts  
When an interrupt flag bit is set and the  
corresponding interrupt-enable bit is also set,  
the IRQB port is driven low. IRQB is asserted as  
long as at least one of the three interrupt  
sources has its flag and enable bits both set.  
The IRQF bit in Register C is a "1" whenever the  
IRQB port is being driven low.  
The RTC includes three separate fully-  
automatic sources of interrupts to the processor.  
The alarm interrupt may be programmed to  
occur at rates from one-per-second to  
one-a-day. The periodic interrupt may be  
selected for rates from half-a-second to 122.070  
ms. The update ended interrupt may be used to  
indicate to the program that an update cycle  
is completed. Each of these independent  
interrupts are described in greater detail in other  
sections.

Frequency Divider  
BIT 0 - AL2_REM_EN  
The RTC has 22 binary divider stages following  
the clock input. The output of the divider is a 1  
Hz signal to the update-cycle logic. The divider  
is controlled by the three divider bits (DV3-DV0)  
in Register A. As shown in Table 70 the divider  
control bits can select the operating mode, or  
be used to hold the divider chain reset which  
allows precision setting of the time. When the  
divider chain is changed from reset to the  
operating mode, the first update cycle is

One of the two control bits for the alarm 2  
wakeup function; it is the “remember” enable bit  
for the second alarm. This bit, if set to 1, will  
cause the system to power-up upon return of  
power if the alarm 2 time has passed during  
loss of power. It is only applicable when  
VTR=0. This bit is independent of the other  
control bit for the alarm 2 wake-up function,  
Al2_EN (bit 4 of the Soft Power Enable Register  
2) which controls alarm 2 when VTR=5V. See  
the alarm  
information.

summarized as follows:  
Periodic Interrupt Selection  
If AL2_REM_EN is set and VTR=0 at the  
date/time that alarm 2 is set for, the nPowerOn  
pin will go active (low) and the machine will  
power-up as soon as VTR comes back.  
The periodic interrupt allows the IRQB port to be  
triggered from once every 500 ms to once every  
122.07 ms. As Table 71 shows, the periodic  
interrupt is selected with the RS0-RS3 bits in  
Register A. The periodic interrupt is enabled  
with the PIE bit in Register B.  
BIT 2 - VTR_POR  
The enable bit for VTR POR. If VTR_POR_EN  
is set, the nPowerOn pin will go active (low) and  
the machine will power-up as soon as a VTR  
POR occurs.

Power Supply Operational Modes  
Note: See the Operational Description section  
for the power supply operational modes.  
Power Management  
The RAMD signal controls all bus inputs to the  
RTC and RAM (nIOW, nIOR, RESET_DRV).  
When asserted, it disallows any modification of  
the RTC and RAM data by the host or 8042.  
RAMD is asserted whenever: VCC is below 4.0  
volts nominal.  
To minimize power consumption, the oscillator  
is not operational under the following conditions:  
4. The Divider Chain Controls (bits 6-4) are in  
Oscillator Disabled mode (000, or 001).  
5. If VTR & VCC=0 and the battery power is  
removed and then re-applied (a new battery  
is installed) the following occurs:  
When the VTR voltage drops below the battery  
voltage, the RTC switches to battery power.  
When VTR rises above the battery voltage, the  
RTC switches back to VTR power.  
a. The oscillator is disabled immediately.  
b. Initialize all registers 00-0D to a "00"  
when VCC is applied.  
When the VCC voltage drops below 4.0 volts  
nominal, all inputs are locked out so that the  
internal registers cannot be modified by the  
system. This lockout condition continues for 62  
msec (min) to 125 msec (max) after the system  
power has been restored. The 62 msec lockout  
does not occur under the following conditions:  
If the battery voltage is between 1 volt nominal  
and 2.4 volt nominal when VCC is applied:  
6. Clear VRT bit to "0". Maintain all other RTC  
bits in the state as before VCC was applied

SOFT POWER MANAGEMENT  
The FDC37C93xFR employs soft power  
on the button input or on any of the enabled  
wakeup events (SPx) causes the nPowerOn  
output to go active low which turns on the main  
power supply. Even if the power supply is  
completely lost (i.e., VTR is not present) the  
power supply can still be turned on upon the  
return of VTR by an alarm 2 event that has  
already passed (if the alarm 2 remember bit is  
enabled) or by a VTR power on reset (if the VTR  
POR bit is enabled). These bits are described in  
the Real Time Clock section.  
management to allow the chip to enter low  
power mode and to provide a variety of wakeup  
events to power up the chip. This technique  
allows for software control over powerdown and  
wakeup events. In low power mode, the chip  
runs off of the trickle voltage, VTR, which is 5  
volts at 2mA maximum. In this mode, the chip  
is ready to power up from either the power  
button or from one of a number of wakeup  
events including pressing a key, touching the  
mouse or receiving data from one of the UARTs.  
The alarm can also be set to power up the  
system at a predetermined time to perform one  
or more tasks.  
The button input can be used to turn off the  
power supply after a debounce delay. The  
power supply can also be turned off under  
software control (via  
a
write to register

Notes:  
All soft power management functions run off of VTR. When VTR is present, it supplies power to the  
RTC. When VTR is not present, Vbat supplies power to the RTC and Flip Flop 1.  
Flip Flop 1 is battery backed-up so that it returns the last valid state of the machine.  
A battery backed-up enable bit in the alarm control register can be set to force Flip Flop 1 in the soft  
power management circuit to come up ‘on’ if an alarm occurred when VTR was not present. This is  
gated into wakeup circuitry. Refer to the AL2_REM_EN Bit description in the RTC Control Register

REGISTERS  
The following registers can be accessed when in  
configuration mode at Logical Device 8,  
Registers B0-B3, B8 and F4, and when not in  
configuration they can be accessed through the  
Index and Data Register.  
Soft Power Status Register 2

SYSTEM MANAGEMENT INTERRUPT (SMI)  
The FDC37C93xFR implements a group nSMI they can be accessed through the Index and  
output pin. The System Management Interrupt  
is a non-maskable interrupt with the highest  
priority level used for transparent power  
management. The nSMI group interrupt output  
consists of the enabled interrupts from each of  
the functional blocks in the chip. The interrupts  
are enabled onto the group nSMI output via the  
SMI Enable Registers 1and 2. The nSMI output  
is then enabled onto the group nSMI output pin  
via bit[7] in the SMI Enable Register 2.

ACCESS.bus  
The FDC37C93xFR supports ACCESS.bus.  
device driver interface, and several specific  
device protocols.  
ACCESS.bus is a serial communication protocol  
between a computer host and its peripheral  
devices. It provides a simple, uniform and  
inexpensive way to connect peripheral devices  
to a single computer port. A single ACCESS.bus

a host can accommodate up to 125  
peripheral devices.  
The ACCESS.bus interface is based on the  
PDC8584 controller. The registers are mapped  
into the ISA I/O register space as set by the  
configuration registers. The addresses for the  
registers are shown in Table 70.  
The ACCESS.bus protocol includes a physical  
layer based on the I2C serial bus developed by  
Philips, and several software layers.  
The  
software layers include the base protocol, the

The ACCESS.bus interface has four internal  
register locations. Two of these, own address  
register S0’ and clock register S2, are used for  
initialization of the chip. Normally they are only  
written once directly after resetting of the chip.  
The other two registers, the data shift register  
S0, and the control/status register S1, (which  
functions as a double register) are used during  
actual data transmission/reception. Register S0  
performs all serial-to-parallel interfacing with the  
ACCESS.Bus Control/Status Register S1  
The control/status register controls the  
ACCESS.bus operation and provides status  
information. This register has separate read and

and control over ACCESS.bus signals, while the  
read-only section provides ACCESS.bus status  
information.

BIT 0 ACK  
This bit must be set normally to logic “1”. This  
causes the ACCESS.bus to send an  
acknowledge automatically after each byte (this  
occurs during the 9th clock pulse) . The bit must  
be reset (to logic “0”) when the ACCESS.bus  
controller is operating in master/receiver mode  
and requires no further data to be sent from the  
slave transmitter. This causes  
acknowledge on the ACCESS.bus, which halts  
further transmission from the slave device.  
In polled applications, the PIN bit is tested to  
determine when a serial transmission/reception  
has been completed. When the ENI bit (bit 4 of  
write-only section of register S1) is also set to  
logic “1” the hardware interrupt is enabled. In  
this case, the PI flag also triggers and internal

When acting as a slave transmitter or slave  
receiver, while PIN=0, the chip will suspend  
ACCESS.bus transmission by holding the SCL  
line low until the PIN bit is set to logic “1”  
(inactive). This prevents further data from being  
transmitted or received until the current data  
byte in S0 has been read (when acting as slave  
receiver) or the next data byte is written to S0  
(when acting as slave transmitter).  
Register S1 Status Section

Pending Interrupt Not. This bit is a status flag  
which  
is  
used  
to

normally read in polled applications to  
determine when an ACCESS.bus byte

PIN bit summary:  
·
The PIN bit can be used in polled  
applications to test when serial  
a
transmission has been completed. When  
the ENI bit is also set, the PIN flag sets the  
internal interrupt via the nINT output.  
Setting the STA bit (start bit) will set PIN=1  
(inactive).  
In transmitter mode, after successful  
transmission of one byte on the  
ACCESS.bus the PIN bit will be  
automatically reset to logic “0” (active)  
indicating a complete byte transmission.  
In transmitter mode, PIN is set to logic “1”  
(inactive) each time register S0 is written.  
In receiver mode, PIN is set to logic “0”  
(inactive) on completion of each received  
byte. Subsequently, the SCL line will be  
held low until PIN is set to logic “1”.  
Each time a serial data transmission is initiated  
(by setting the STA bit in the same register) the  
PIN bit will be set to logic “1” automatically  
(inactive). When acting as transmitter, PIN is  
also set to logic 1 (inactive) each time S0 is  
·
·
written.  
In receiver mode, the PIN bit is  
automatically set to logic “1” each time the data  
register S0 is read.  
After transmission or reception of one byte on  
the ACCESS.bus (9 clock pulses, including  
acknowledge) the PIN bit will be automatically  
reset to logic “0” (active) indicating a complete

In receiver mode, when register S0 is read,  
PIN is set to logic “1” (inactive).  
In slave receiver mode, an ACCESS.bus  
STOP condition will set PIN=0 (active).  
PIN=0 if a bus error (BER) occurs.  
Addressed As Slave bit. Valid only when PIN=0.  
When acting as slave receiver, this flag is set  
when an incoming address over the  
ACCESS.bus matches the value in own address  
register S0’ (shifted by one bit) or if the  
ACCESS.bus ‘general call’ address (00h) has  
been received (‘general call’ is indicated when  
AD0 status bit is also set to logic “1”).

Logic 0.  
BIT 5 STS  
BIT 1 LAB  
When in slave receiver mode, this flag is  
asserted when an externally generated STOP  
condition is detected (used only in slave receiver  
mode).  
Lost Arbitration Bit. This bit is set when, in  
multi-master operation, arbitration is lost to  
another master on the ACCESS.bus.  
BIT 0 nBB  
BIT 4 BER  
Bus Busy bit. This is a read-only flag indicating  
when the ACCESS.bus is in use. A zero  
indicates that the bus is busy, and access is not  
possible. This bit is set/reset (logic “1”/logic “0”)  
by START/STOP conditions.  
Bus error;  
a misplaced START or STOP  
condition has been detected. Resets nBB (to  
logic “1”; inactive), sets PIN=0 (active).  
BIT 3 LRB/AD0  
Last Received Bit or Address 0 (general call) bit.  
This status bit serves a dual function, and is  
valid only while PIN=0:  
Own Address Register S0’  
When the chip is addressed as slave, this  
register must be loaded with the  
1. LRB holds the value of the last received  
bit over the ACCESS.bus while AAS=0  
(not addressed as slave). Normally  
this will be the value of the slave  
acknowledgment; thus checking for  
slave acknowledgment is done via  
testing of the LRB.  
2. ADO; when AAS=1 (Addressed as  
slave condition) the ACCESS.bus  
controller has been addressed as a  
slave. Under this condition, this bit  
becomes the AD0 bit and will be set to  
logic “1” if the slave address received  
was the ‘general call’ (00h) address, or  
logic “0” if it was the ACCESS.bus  
controller’s own slave address.  
7
bit  
ACCESS.bus address to which the chip is to  
respond. During initialization, the own address  
register S0’ must be written to, regardless  
whether it is later used. The Addressed As  
Slave (AAS) bit in status register S1 is set when  
this address is received (the value in S0 is  
compared with the value in S0’). Note that the  
S0 and S0’ registers are offset by one bit;  
hence, programming the own address register  
S0’ with a value of 55h will result in the value  
AAh being recognized as the chip’s  
ACCESS.bus slave address.  
After reset, S0’ has default address 00h.

In receiver mode the ACCESS.bus data is  
shifted into the shift register until the  
acknowledge phase. Further reception of data  
is inhibited (SCL held low) until the S0 data shift  
register is read.  
DATA SHIFT REGISTER S0  
Register S0 acts as serial shift register and read  
buffer interfacing to the ACCESS.bus. All read  
and write operations to/from the ACCESS.bus  
are done via this register. ACCESS.bus data is  
always shifted in or out of shift register S0.  
In the transmitter mode data is transmitted to  
the ACCESS.bus as soon as it is written to the  
S0 shift register if the serial I/O is enabled  
(ESO=1).

CONFIGURATION  
The Configuration of the FDC37C93xFR is very  
configuration ports to initialize the logical  
devices at POST. The INDEX and DATA ports  
are only valid when the FDC37C93xFR is in  
Configuration Mode.  
flexible and is based on the configuration  
architecture implemented in typical Plug-and-  
Play components. The FDC37C93xFR is  
designed for motherboard applications in which  
the resources required by their components are  
known. With its flexible resource allocation  
architecture, the FDC37C93xFR allows the  
BIOS to assign resources at POST.  
The SYSOPT pin is latched on the falling edge  
of the RESET_DRV or on Vcc Power On Reset  
to determine the configuration register's base  
address. The SYSOPT pin is used to select the  
CONFIG PORT's I/O address at power-up.  
Once powered up the configuration port base  
address can be changed through configuration  
registers CR26 and CR27. The SYSOPT pin  
is a hardware configuration pin which is  
shared with the nRTS1 signal on pin 148.  
During reset this pin is a weak active low signal  
which sinks 30µA. Note: All I/O addresses are  
qualified with AEN.  
SYSTEM ELEMENTS  
Primary Configuration Address Decoder  
After a hard reset (RESET_DRV pin asserted) or  
Vcc Power On Reset the FDC37C93xFR is in  
the Run Mode with all logical devices disabled.  
The logical devices may be configured through  
two standard Configuration I/O Ports (INDEX  
and DATA) by placing the FDC37C93xFR into  
Configuration Mode. The BIOS uses these  
The INDEX and DATA ports are effective only  
when the chip is in the Configuration State.

Entering the Configuration State  
Exiting the Configuration State  
The device enters the Configuration State when  
the following Config Key is successfully written  
to the CONFIG PORT.  
The device exits the Configuration State when  
the following Config Key is successfully written  
to the CONFIG PORT.  
Config Key = < 0x55, 0x55>  
Config Key = < 0xAA>  
169  
Note: Only two states are defined (Run and  
Configuration). In the Run State the chip will  
always be ready to enter the Configuration  
State.  
CONFIGURATION SEQUENCE  
To program the configuration registers, the  
following sequence must be followed:  
1. Enter Configuration Mode  
2. Configure the Configuration Registers  
3. Exit Configuration Mode.  
Programming Example  
The following is an example of a configuration  
program in Intel 8086 assembly language.  
Enter Configuration Mode  
To place the  
chip  
into  
the Configuration  
;--------------------------------------------------.  
State the Config Key is sent to the chip's  
CONFIG PORT. The config key consists of two  
successive writes of 0x55 data to the CONFIG  
PORT. Once the initiation key is received  
correctly the chip enters into the Configuration  
State (The auto Config ports are enabled).

Number Configuration Register (i.e., 0x07) to  
the INDEX PORT and then write the number  
of the desired logical device to the DATA  
PORT  
b. Write the address of the desired  
configuration register within the logical  
device to the INDEX PORT and then write or  
read the configuration register through the  
DATA PORT.

accessed through the DATA PORT.  
Used to access the registers that are assigned  
to each logical unit. This chip supports nine  
logical units and has nine sets of logical device

Write EEPROM  
Data  
0xF3 W  
This register is used to program the serial device  
from the host. This device supports serial  
EEPROMS in x16 configurations. Two bytes must  
be written to this register in order to generate a  
EEPROM write cycle. The LSB leads the MSB. The  
first write to this register resets bit 0 of the Write  
Status register. The second write resets bit 1 of the  
Write Status register and generates a write cycle to  
the serial EEPROM. The Write Status register must  
be polled before performing a pair of writes to this  
register.

Read EEPROM  
Data  
0xF5 R  
This register allows the host to read data from the  
serial EEPROM. Data is not valid in this register  
until bit-0 of the Read Status Register is set. Since  
the EEPROM is a 16-bit device this register presents  
the LSB followed by the MSB for each pair of register  
reads. Immediately after the MSB is read bit 0 of the  
Read Status Register will be cleared, then the Serial  
EEPROM Pointer Register will be auto-incremented,  
then the next word of EEPROM data will be fetched,  
followed by the Read Status Register, bit 0 being set.

Bit 0 = 1 indicates that data in the Read EEPROM  
Data register is valid. This bit is cleared when  
EEPROM Data is read until the next byte is valid.  
Reading the Read EEPROM Data register when bit-0  
is clear will have no detrimental effects; the data will  
simply be invalid.  
C
Note 1: The RTC modifications allow for backwards compatibility. If Bit[7] of the RTC Mode Register  
is set to 0, Bank 0 is selected at 70h. If Bit[7] is set to 1, the default values for Bits [6:4] and the  
Secondary Base Address for RTC Bank 1 and 2 (CR62 and CR63) are such that Bank 1 is selected at  
70h.  
For added capability, Banks 1 and 2 can be selected and relocated to another address. Bank 1 can be  
selected either individually or with Bank 0 by setting Bit[7] of the RTC Mode Register and setting  
Bits[6:4] appropriately. For example, with Bit[7] = 1, setting Bits[6:4] to 000 selects Bank 1; setting  
Bits[6:4] to 001 selects Bank 0 and Bank 1. Similarly, Bank 2 can be selected either individually or with  
Bank 0. For example, with Bit[7] = 1, setting Bits[6:4] to 110 selects Bank 2; setting Bits[6:4] to 111  
selects Bank 0 and Bank 2.  
These banks are relocatable through Configuration Registers 62 and 63 in Logical Device 6, the  
Secondary Base Address for RTC Bank 1 and Bank 2. This 16-bit address register only applies to  
Banks 1 and 2 and will only be used for address decode if Bit[7] in the RTC Mode Register is set to 1.  
As an example, setting CR62 to 04 and CR63 to 70 moves Banks 1 and 2 to address 470h. Bank 0 is  
always located at 70h.  
The Secondary Base Address must be at an even address. The Data Register is at the Secondary  
Base Address + 1.  
Note 2: Bank 0 is “off”  
Note 3: The secondary base address must be set to a value other than 70h prior to selecting this  
option.

Bit[5] Stop_Cnt: This is used to terminate Delay 2  
(Note 1) without generating a power own.  
This is used if the software determines that  
the power down should be aborted. When  
read, this bit indicates the following:  
Stop_Cnt = 0; Counter running Stop_Cnt =  
1; Counter Stopped. Note: The write is self  
clearing.  
Bit[6] Restart_Cnt: This is used to restart Delay 2  
(Note 1) from the button input to the  
generation of the power down.  
When  
restarted, the count will start over and delay  
the power down for the time that Delay 2 is  
set for (Default=500msec). The software  
can continue to do this indefinately with out  
allowing a powerdown. This bit is self  
clearing. 1=Restart; Automatically cleared.  
Bit[7] SPOFF: This is used to force a software power  
down. This bit is self clearing.  
Note 1: This delay is programmable via the Delay 2  
Time Set Register at Logical Device 8, 0xB8.

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

ECP PARALLEL PORT TIMING  
PeriphAck (Busy) low, completing the transfer.  
Parallel Port FIFO (Mode 101)  
This sequence is shown in Figure 30.  
The standard parallel port is run at or near the  
peak 500Kbytes/sec allowed in the forward  
direction using DMA. The state machine does  
not examine nACK and begins the next transfer  
based on Busy. Refer to Figure 29.  
The timing is designed to provide 3 cable  
round-trip times for data setup if Data is driven  
simultaneously with HostClk (nStrobe).  
Reverse-Idle Phase  
ECP Parallel Port Timing  
The peripheral has no data to send and keeps  
PeriphClk high. The host is idle and keeps  
HostAck low.  
The timing is designed to allow operation at  
approximately 2.0 Mbytes/sec over a 15ft cable.  
If a shorter cable is used then the bandwidth will  
increase.  
Reverse Data Transfer Phase  
The interface transfers data and commands  
from the peripheral to the host using an inter-  
locked HostAck and PeriphClk.  
Forward-Idle  
When the host has no data to send it keeps  
HostClk (nStrobe) high and the peripheral will  
leave PeriphClk (Busy) low.  
The Reverse Data Transfer Phase may be en-  
tered from the Reverse-Idle Phase. After the  
previous byte has beed accepted the host sets  
HostAck (nALF) low. The peripheral then sets  
PeriphClk (nACK) low when it has data to send.  
The data must be stable for the specified setup  
time prior to the falling edge of PeriphClk. When  
the host is ready to accept a byte it sets  
HostAck (nALF) high to acknowledge the  
handshake. The peripheral then sets PeriphClk  
(nACK) high. After the host has accepted the  
data it sets HostAck (nALF) low, completing the  
transfer. This sequence is shown in Figure 31.  
Forward Data Transfer Phase  
The interface transfers data and commands  
from the host to the peripheral using an inter-  
locked PeriphAck and HostClk. The peripheral  
may indicate its desire to send data to the host  
by asserting nPeriphRequest.  
The Forward Data Transfer Phase may be  
entered from the Forward-Idle Phase. While in  
the Forward Phase the peripheral may  
asynchronously assert the nPeriphRequest  
(nFault) to request that the channel be reversed.  
When the peripheral is not busy it sets  
PeriphAck (Busy) low. The host then sets  
HostClk (nStrobe) low when it is prepared to  
send data. The data must be stable for the  
specified setup time prior to the falling edge of  
HostClk. The peripheral then sets PeriphAck  
(Busy) high to acknowledge the handshake. The  
host then sets HostClk (nStrobe) high. The  
peripheral then accepts the data and sets  
Output Drivers  
To facilitate higher performance data transfer,  
the use of balanced CMOS active drivers for  
critical signals (Data, HostAck, HostClk,  
PeriphAck, PeriphClk) are used ECP Mode.  
Because the use of active drivers can present  
compatibility problems in Compatible Mode (the  
control signals, by tradition, are specified as  
open-collector), the drivers are dynamically  
changed from open-collector to totem-pole. The  
247  
timing for the dynamic driver change is  
specified in then IEEE 1284 Extended  
Capabilities Port Protocol and ISA Interface  
Standard, Rev. 1.14, July 14, 1993, available  
from Microsoft. The dynamic driver change  
must be implemented properly to prevent  
glitching the outputs.

received pulse is a minimum of 1.41µs.  
2. IRRX: L5, CRF1 Bit 0: 1 = RCV active low  
nIRRX: L5, CRF1 Bit 0: 0 = RCV active high (default)  
3. This polarity assumes that the GPIO has not been programmed for inverted.
