The DIO connector on the PC5153/ PC5173 is interfaced to GPIO ports on the Super I/O chipset. The
DIO has both 4-bit digital inputs and 4-bit digital outputs. The digital inputs and digital outputs are
generally control signals that control the on/off circuit of external devices or TTL devices. Data can be
read or written to the selected address to enable the DIO functions.
NOTE:
For further information, please refer to the datasheet for the Super I/O chipset.
B.2 DIO CONNECTOR PINOUTS
The following table describes how the DIO connector pins are connected to the Super I/O.
B.3 ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE SAMPLES
B.3.1 ENABLE THE DIO INPUT FUNCTION
The BIOS interrupt call INT 15H controls the digital I/O. An assembly program to enable digital I/O input
functions is listed below.

NOTE:
The following discussion applies to DOS environment. Acnodes support is cont acted or
the Acnodes website visited for specific drivers for more sophisticated operating systems, e.g., Windows and Linux.
The Watchdog Timer is provided to ensure that standalone systems can always recover from
catastrophic conditions that cause the CPU to crash. This condition may have occurred by
external EMIs or a software bug. When the CPU stops working correctly, Watchdog Timer
either performs a hardware reset (cold boot) or a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) to bring the
system back to a known state.
A BIOS function call (INT 15H) is used to control the W atchdog T imer.
Call sub-function 2 to set the time-out period of Watchdog Timer first. If the time-out value is
not zero, the Watchdog Timer starts counting down. When the timer value reaches zero, the
system resets. To ensure that this reset condition does not occur, calling sub-function
2 must periodically refresh the Watchdog T imer. However, the watchdog timer is disabled if
the time-out value is set to zero.
A tolerance of at least 10% must be maintained to avoid unknown routines within the operating system (DOS), such as disk I/O that can be very time-consuming.
NOTE:
When exiting a program it is necessary to disable the Watchdog Timer, otherwise the
system resets.
