Pin Descriptions
Pin No. Symbol I/O Level Function Description
3 AEN I TTL Address Enable
"H" level input from this pin indicates that a DMA transfer is in
progress, so the chip does not respond to I/O access.
4 SBHE I TTL Byte High Enable
This input indicates the state of the 16-bit bus.
5 IOWR I TTL I/O Write
This input indicates an I/O write request.
6 IORD I TTL I/O Read
This input indicates an I/O read request.
7 SMEMW I TTL Memory Write
This input indicates a memory write request dedicated for an address
space in the first megabyte (000000 to 0FFFFFH).
8 SMEMR I TTL Memory Read
This input indicates a memory read request dedicated for an address
space in the first megabyte (000000 to 0FFFFFH).
9 to 10 A[21:20] I TTL Address[21:20]
These inputs give the address 21:20.
11 to 30 SA[19:0] I TTL Address[19:0]
These inputs give the address 19:0.
35 to 53 SD[15:0] I/O TTL Data[15:0]
These pins represent the host data bus.
56 IOCHRDY I/O TTL I/O Channel Ready
This pin is "L" level when I/O or memory access is given wait state.
57 MEMCS16 O TTL Memory Chip Select 16
This output indicates to the system that 16-bit memory access is
available.
58 IOCS16 O TTL I/O Chip Select 16
This output indicates to the system that 16-bit I/O access is available.
32 REFRESH I TTL Refresh
"L" level input indicates that the system is refreshing its DRAM.
88 to 97 MA[9:0] O CMOS Memory Address
These outputs give the address of the display memory.
100 RAS O CMOS Row Address Strobe (RAS)
This output is the strobe signal for the row address latch.
101 UCAS O CMOS Upper Column Address Strobe (UCAS)
This output is the strobe signal for the upper column address latch.
In the 2WE mode, however, it functions as the CAS signal.
