DESCRIP TI ON

TheTS68230 parallelinterface/timer (PI/T)provides versatile double buffered parallel interfaces and a systemorientedtimerforTS68000 systems.Theparallelinterfaces operate inunidirectional orbidirectional modes, either 8 or 16 bits wide. In the unidirectional modes, an associated data direction register determines whether each port pinisaninput or output. In the bidirectional modes the data direction registers are ignored and the direction isdetermined dynamically by the state of four handshake pins. These programmable handshake pinsprovide an interface flexible enough for connection to a wide variety of low,medium, orhigh speedperipherals or other computersystems.ThePI/Tports allow use of vectored or auto-vectored interrupts, and also providea DMArequest pin for connection to the 68440 directmemory accesscontroller (DMAC)or a similar circuit. The PI/Ttimercontains a 24-bit widecounter anda 5-bit prescaler. The timermay beclocked by the system clock (PI/T CLK pin) or by an external clock(TINpin), and a 5-bit prescaler canbe used.It can generate periodic interrupts, a square wave, or a singleinterrupt aftera programmed time period. It can also be used for elapsed time measurement or asa device watchdog.

TheTS68230parallel interface/timer(PI/T)provides versatile double buffered parallel interfaces and a system oriented timer for TS68000 systems. The parallel interfaces operate in unidirectional or bidirectionalmodes, either 8 or 16 bits wide. In the unidirectional modes, an associated data direction registerdetermines whether eachport pinisaninput or output. Inthe bidirectional modes the data direction registers are ignoredand thedirectionis determined dynamically by the state of four handshake pins.Theseprogrammable handshakepinsprovide an interface flexible enough forconnection toa wide varietyoflow,medium, orhighspeedperipherals or other computer systems. The PI/T ports allow use ofvectoredor autovectored interrupts,and alsoprovide a DMArequest pin for connection tothe 68440 directmemoryaccesscontroller(DMAC)or asimilar circuit.The PI/T timercontains a24-bitwide counter and a 5-bit prescaler. The timer maybe clockedby the system clock (PI/T CLK pin) or by an external clock (TIN pin), and a 5-bit prescaler can be used. It can generate periodic interrupts, a square wave, ora singleinterrupt aftera programmed timeperiod. It can also be used for elapsed timemeasurement or as a devicewatchdog.

The PI/T consists of two logically independent sections : the ports and the timer. The port section consistsofportA (PA0-PA7), port B(PB0-PB7), four handshake pins (H1, H2,H3, and H4), twogeneral input/output (I/O) pins, and six dual-function pins. The dual-function pins can individually operate asa thirdport (port C) or an alternate function relatedto eitherport A, port B, or thetimer.The four programmable handshake pins, depending on the mode, can control data transfer to and from the ports, or can be used as interrupt generating inputs or I/O pins. Refer to figure1.1.

The timer consists of a 24-bit counter, optionally clocked by a 5-bit prescaler. Three pins provide complete timer I/O : PC2/TIN, PC3/TOUT, and PC7/TIACK. Only the ones needed for the given configuration perform thetimerfunction,whilethe others remain port C I/O.

The system bus interface provides for asynchronoustransfer ofdata fromthe PI/T to a bus master over the data bus (D0-D7). Data transfer acknowledge (DTACK), register selects (RS1-RS5), timer interrupt acknowledge (TIACK), read/write line (R/W), chip select (CS), or port interrupt acknowledge (PIACK) control data transfer between the PI/T andan TS68000.

1.1.PORT MODEDESCRIPTION The primary focus of most applications will be on

portA,port B,the handshake pins,theportinterrupt pins, andthe DMArequest pin.They are controlled inthefollowingway: theportgeneralcontrolregister contains a 2-bit field that specifies one offour operationmodes.Thesegoverntheoverall operation of the ports and determine their interrelation-ships. Some modes require additional information from eachport’s control register to further define its operation. In each port control register, there is a 2-bit submode field that serves this purpose. Each port mode/submode combination specifies a setof programmable characteristics that fully define the behavior of that port and two of the handshake pins. This structure is summarized in table 1.1 and figure 1.2.

1.2.3. READ/WRITE (R/W). R/W is a high impedanceread/writeinput signalfrom theTS68000 bus master, indicating whetherthe current bus cycle is a read (high) or write (low) cycle.

1.2.4.CHIPSELECT (CS).CS isa high-impedance input that selects the PI/T registers for the current bus cycle. Addressstrobe and the data strobe(upper or lower) of the bus master,along with the appropriate address bits, must be included in the chip-select equation. A low level correspondsto an assertedchip select.

1.2.5. DATA TRANSFER ACKNOWLEDGE (DTACK). DTACK is an active low output that signals the completion of the bus cycle. During read orinterrupt acknowledge cycles,DTACKisasserted afterdatahasbeen provided onthedatabus;during writecyclesitisasserted afterdata hasbeen accepted at the data bus. Data transfer acknowledge is compatible with the TS68000 and with other TS68000 busmasterssuchasthe 68440 directmemory accesscontroller (DMAC). A pullupresistor is required to maintainDTACK high between bus cycles.

1.2.6. RESET (RESET). RESET is a high-impedance input used to initialize all PI/T functions. All controland data direction registers are cleared and mostinternal operations are disabled by the assertion of RESET (low).

1.2.7.CLOCK (CLK). The clock pinis a high-impedance TTL-compatible signal with the same specifications as the TS68000. The PI/T contains dynamiclogicthroughout, andhencethisclockmust not be gatedoff atany time. It is not necessary that thisclockmaintain any particular phase relationship with the TS68000 system clock. It may be connected to an independent frequency source (faster or slower)as longas allbus specificationsare met.

1.2.8.PORT A AND PORT B (PA0-PA7 AND PB0PB7). Ports A and B are 8-bit ports that may be concatenatedto forma 16-bit port in certain modes. The ports may be controlled inconjunction with the

handshake pinsH1-H4. Forstabilization duringsystempower up,portsAand Bhave internal pullupresistorsto VCC. Allports pins are active high.

1.2.9. HANDSHAKE PINS (H1-H4). Handshake pins H1-H4 are multi-purpose pins that (depending on the operational mode) may provide an interlocked handshake, a pulsed handshake, an interrupt input(independent of data transfers), or simple I/O pins. For stabilization during system power up, H2andH4 haveinternal pullup resistors toVCC. The sense of H1-H4 (active high or low) may be programmed in the port general control register bits 3-0.Independent ofthemode,the instantaneous levelof the handshake pinscan beread from theport status register.

1.2.10. PORT C (PC0-PC7/ALTERNATE FUNCTION).This port can be used as eight general purposeI/O pins (PC0-PC7) or any combination of six special function pins and two general purpose I/O pins (PC0-PC1). Each dual-function pin can be a standardI/Oor aspecialfunctionindependent ofthe otherport C pins. Whenused as a port C pin, these pins are active high. They may be individually programmed as inputs or outputs by the port Cdata direction register. The dual-function pins are defined in the following paragraphs.

The alternatefunctionsTIN, TOUT, and TIACK are timerI/Opins.TINmaybeusedasarising-edge triggered external clock input or an external run/halt controlpin (thetimer isin the run stateif run/halt is high and in the halt state if run/halt is low). TOUT may provide an active low timer interrupt request outputor a general-purpose square-wave output, initially high. TIACKis an activelow high-impedance inputused for timer interrupt acknowledge.

Port A and B functions have an independent pairof activelowinterrupt request (PIRQ)and interrupt acknowledge (PIACK) pins.

The DMAREQ (direct memory access request) pin provides an active low direct memory access controller request pulse for three clock cycles,completelycompatiblewith the 68440 DMAC.

1.4. BUS INTERFACE OPERATION The PI/Thas anasynchronous businterfaceprima-

rilydesigned for usewithan TS68000 microprocessor.With care,however, itcan beconnected tosynchronous microprocessor buses. This section completelydescribes thePI/T’sbus interface,andis intended for the asynchronous busdesigner unless otherwise mentioned.

Inan asynchronous systemthePI/T clock mayoperate at a significantlydifferent frequency, either higherorlower,thanthebusmasterandothersystem components, as long as all bus specifications are met. TheTS68230 CLK pin hasthesame specificationsas the TS68000 CLK pin, andmust not begated off at any time.

The following signals generate normal read and write cycles to the PI/T : CS (chip select), R/W (read/write), RS1-RS5(five register select bits), D0D7 (the 8-bit bidirectional data bus), and DTACK (data transfer acknowledge). To generate interrupt acknowledge cycles, PC6/PIACK or PC7/TIACK is usedinstead of CS, andthe register select pinsare ignored. No combination of the following pin functionsmay be asserted simultaneously : CS, PIACK, or TIACK.

1.4.1.READCYCLES. Thiscategory includesallregisterreads, except port or timer interrupt acknowledgecycles. WhenCS is asserted, theregister select and R/W inputs are latched internally. They mustmeet smallsetup and hold timerequirements with respect to the asserted edge of CS. (Refer to

6.6 AC Electrical Specifications for further information). The PI/T is not protected againstaborted (shortened) bus cyclesgenerated byan address error or bus errorexception in which it is addressed.

Certain operations triggered by normal read (or write)buscyclesarenot complete withinthe timeallotted to the bus cycle. One example is transfers to/from the double-buffered latches that occur as a result of the bus cycle. If the bus master’s clock is significan-tly faster than the PI/T’s the possibility exists that, following the bus cycle, CS can be negated then re-asserted before completion of these internaloperations.InthissituationthePI/Tdoes not recognize there-assertion of CSuntilthese operations are complete. Only at that time does it begin theinternalsequencing necessaryto reacttotheasserted CS. Since CS also controls the DTACK response, this ”buscycle recovery time” can be related to the clock edge on which DTACK is asserted for that cycle. The PI/T will recognize the subsequent assertionofCSthreeclockperiodsafterthe clockedge on which DTACKwas previously asserted.

The register select andR/W inputspass through an internal latchthat is transparent when the PI/T can recognize a new CS pulse (see above paragraph). Since the internal data bus of the PI/T is continuouslyengaged forreadtransfers, thereadaccess time(tothe databus buffers)begins whentheregister selects are stabilized internally. Also, when the PI/Tis ready tobegina newbus cycle,the assertion of CS enables the data bus buffers within a short propagation delay.Thisdoesnotcontribute tothe overall read access time unless CSis assertedsignificantlyafter the register select and R/W inputs are stabilized (as may occur with synchronous bus microprocessors).

Inaddition tothe chipselect’spreviously mentioned duties, it controls the assertion of DTACK and latchingof read data at the data bus interface. Except for controlling input latches and enabling the data busbuffers,allofthesefunctionsoccuronlyafterCS has been recognized internally and synchronized withthe internal clock. Chip select isrecognized on the falling edge of the clock if the setup time is met ; DTACK is asserted (low) on the next falling edge of the clock. Read datais latched at the PI/T’s data bus interface at the sametime DTACKis asserted. It is stable as long as chip select remains asserted independent of other external conditions.

Fromthe above discussion it isclear that if the chip selectsetuptimeprior tothefallingedgeofthe clock is met, the PI/T can consistently respond to a new reador write bus cycleevery four clock cycles.This factis especially usefulin designing the PI/T’sclock in synchronous bus systems not using DTACK. (An extra clock period is required in interrupt acknowledge cycles, see 1.4.2 Interrupt Acknowledge Cycles).

In asynchronous bus systems in which the PI/T’s clock differs from that of the bus master, generally thereisno waytoguarantee thatthechip select setup time with respect to the PI/T clock is met. Thus, the only way to determine that the PI/T recognized the assertion of CS is to wait for the assertion of DTACK.In thissituation,alllatchedbusinputstothe PI/T must be held stable until DTACK is asserted. These include register select, R/W, and write data inputs (see below).

System specifications impose a maximum delay fromthe trailing(negated) edgeofCS tothenegated edgeofDTACK. Assystemspeedsincreasethisbecomesmoredifficult to meetwith asimplepullup resistor tied to the DTACK line. Therefore, the PI/T provides an internal active pullup deviceto reduce the rise time, and a level-sensitive circuit that later turns this device off. DTACK is negated asynchronouslyas fast as possiblefollowing the rising edge

of chip select, then three-stated to avoid interferencewith the nextbus cycle.

The systemdesignermust takecare thatDTACK is negated andthree-statedquicklyenough aftereach bus cycle to avoid interference with the next one. With an TS68000this necessitates a relatively fast external path from the data strobe negation to CS bus master negation.

1.4.2. INTERRUPT ACKNOWLEDGE CYCLES. Special internal operations take placeon PI/T interrupt acknowledge cycles. The port interrupt vector register or the timer vector register are implicitly addressed by the assertion of PC6/PIACK or PC7/TIACK, respectively. The signals are first synchronized with the falling edge of the clock. One clockperiod after they arerecognized, thedata bus

buffers areenabled andthe vectorisdrivenontothe bus. DTACK is assertedafter another clock period toallowthe vector somesetuptimeprior toDTACK. DTACK is negated, then three-stated, as with normal read or write cycles,when PIACK or TIACK is negated.

1.4.3.WRITE CYCLES. In manyways, writecycles are similar to normal read cycles. On write cycles, data at the D0-D7 pins must meet the same setup specificationsas the register select and R/W lines. Like these signals, write data is latched on the asserted edgeof CS,and must meet small setup and hold time requirements with respect to that edge. The samebus cyclerecovery conditions existas for normal read cycles.No other differences exist.

PORT GENERAL INFORM AT ION AND CONVENTI O NS

This sectionintroduces concepts that are generally applicable to the PI/Tports independent ofthe chosen mode and submode. For this reason, no particular port or handshake pins are mentioned ; the notation H1(H3) indicates that, depending on the chosen mode and submode, the statement given may be true for either the H1or H3 handshake pin.

2.1. UNIDIRECTIONALVS BIDIRECTIONAL Figure 1.2showsthe configuration of portsA and B

and each of the handshake pinsin each port mode andsubmode.In modes0and 1,adatadirectionregisteris associatedwith eachoftheports. These registerscontainonebitfor eachport pinto determine whether that pin is an input or an output. Modes 0 and 1 are, thus, called unidirectional modes becauseeach pinassumes aconstantdirection, changeableonly by a resetcondition or a programming change. These modes allow double-buffered data transfersinonedirection. Thisdirection, determined by the mode and submode definition, is known as the primary direction. Data transfers in the primary directionare controlledbythehandshake pins. Data transfers not in the primary direction are generally unrelated, andsingleorunbuffered datapathsexist.

In modes 2 and3 thereis no concept of primary direction as in modes 0 and 1. Except for port A in mode2 (bit I/O),thedatadirectionregisters haveno effect. These modesare bidirectional, in thatthe directionof each transfer(always 8 or 16 bits,double buffered) is determined dynamically by the state of thehandshakepins.Thus,forexample, datamaybe transferred out of the ports, followed very shortlyby a transfer into the same port pins. Transfers to and from the ports are independent and may occur in any sequence. Since the instantaneous direction is always determined by the external system, a small amount of arbitration logic may be required.

2.1.1.CONTROL OF DOUBLE-BUFFERED DATA PORTS. Generally speaking, the PI/T is a doublebuffereddevice.Intheprimarydirection, doublebuffering allows orderly transfers by using the handshakepinsin anyofseveral programmable protocols. (When bit I/O is used, double buffering is not available and the handshake pins are used as outputs or status/interrupt inputs).

Use of double buffering is most beneficial in situations where a peripheral device and the computer system are capable of transferring data at roughly the samespeed. Double bufferingallows the fetch

operation of the data transmitter to be overlapped with the store operation of the data receiver. Thus, throughput measured inbytesor words-per-second may be greatly enhanced. If there is a large mismatch in transfer capability between the computer and the peripheral, little or no benefit isobtained. In these cases there isno penalty in using double buffering.

2.1.2. DOUBLE-BUFFERED INPUTTRANSFERS. Inall modes, thePI/Tsupports double-buffered input transfers. Data that meets the port setupand hold times is latched on the asserted edge of H1(H3). H1(H3) isedgesensitive, and mayassumeanyduty cycleaslongasbothhighandlowminimumtimesare observed. The PI/T contains a port status register whose H1S(H3S) statusbit is set anytime any input datathathasnot beenread bythe busmasterispresent in the double-buffered latches. The action of H2(H4) is programmable ; it may indicate whether thereis room for more data in the PI/T latches or it mayserveotherpurposes. Thefollowingoptions are available, depending on the mode.

1. H2(H4) may be anedge-sensitive input that is independent ofH1(H3)andthe transferof port data. On the asserted edge of H2(H4), the H2S(H4S) status bit is set. It is clearedby the direct method (refer to 2.3 Direct Method of Resetting Status), the RESET pin being asserted,or when the H12 enable (H34 enable) bit of the portgeneral control register is zero.

2. H2(H4) may be a general purpose output pin that is always negated. The H2S(H4S) status bit is always zero.

3. H2(H4) may be a general purpose output pin thatis always asserted. The H2S(H4S)status bit is always zero.

4. H2(H4)maybe an output pinin theinterlocked input handshake protocol. It is asserted when the port input latches are ready to accept new data.Itisnegated asynchronously followingthe asserted edge of theH1(H3)input. As soonas the input latches become ready, H2(H4) is again asserted. When both double-buffered latches are full, H2(H4) remains negated until dataisremovedbyareadofportA(portB)data register.Thus,anytimetheH2(H4)output isasserted, new input data may be entered by asserting H1(H3). At other times transitions of H1(H3) areignored. TheH2S(H4S)statusbitis alwayszero.WhenH12enable(H34 enable) is zero,H2(H4) is heldnegated.

13/61

TS68230

5. H2(H4) maybe anoutput pin in thepulsed input handshake protocol. It is asserted exactly as in the interlocked input protocol, but never remains asserted longer than four clock cycles. Typically, a four clock cycle pulse is generated. But in the case that a subsequent H1(H3)asserted edge occursbefore terminationof the pulse, H2(H4)is negated asynchronously.Thus,anytimeaftertheleading edgeof the H2(H4) pulse, new data maybe entered in the PI/T double-buffered input latches. The H2S(H4S)statusbit isalwayszero. WhenH12 enable(H34enable) iszero,H2(H4)isheldnegated.

2.1.3. DOUBLE-BUFFERED OUTPUT TRANSFERS. The PI/T supports double-buffered output transfers inall modes. Data, written bythebus mastertothePI/T,isstoredin theport’soutputlatch.The peripheral accepts the data by asserting H1(H3), whichcausesthe nextdatatobemovedto theport’s output latch as soon as it is available. The function ofH2(H4)isprogrammable ;it mayindicatewhether data has been moved to the output latch or it may serveotherpurposes.TheH1S(H3S)statusbitmay be programmed for two interpretations. First, the status bit is a one when there is atleast one latchin the double-buffered data path that can accept new data.Afterwritingone byte/wordofdatatotheports, aninterruptserviceroutinecouldcheckthisbittodetermineifitcouldstoreanother byte/word, thus filling both latches. Second, whenthe bus master is finished, itis oftenuseful to be ableto checkwhetherall of the data has been transferred to the peripheral. The H1S(H3S) status bit is set when both output

5. H2(H4)maybe anoutput pininthe pulsed output handshake protocol. It is asserted exactly asintheinterlocked outputprotocol above,but neverremains asserted longer than fourclock cycles.Typically, a four clockpulse is generated.But in the case that a subsequent H1(H3) assertededge occursbeforeterminationof the pulse, H2(H4) is negated asynchronously, thus shortening the pulse. The H2S(H4S) status bit is alwayszero. When H12 enable (H34 enable) is zero, H2(H4) is held negated.

A sampletiming diagram isshownin figure2.2.The H2(H4) interlocked and pulsed output handshake protocols are shown. The DMAREQ pin is also shown assuming it is enabled. All handshake pin sense bits are assumed to be zero ; thus,the pins arein the lowstate whenasserted.Due to thegreat similaritybetweenmodes, thistimingdiagram isapplicable to all double-buffered output transfers.

2.2. REQUESTING BUS MASTER SERVICE The PI/Thas severalmeans of indicating a need for

service by a bus master. First, the processor may poll the port status register. It contains a status bit for each handshake pin, plus a level bit that always reflects the instantaneous state of that handshake pin.Astatusbit isonewhenthePI/Tneedsservicing (i.e., generally when the bus masterneeds to read or write data to the ports)or whena handshake pin used as a simple status input has been asserted. The interpretation of these bitsis dependent on the chosen modeand submode.

Second, the PI/T may be placedin the processor’s interrupt structure. As mentioned previously, the PI/T contains port A and B control registers that

configure thehandshakepins.Otherbitsintheseregisters enable an interrupt associated with each handshake pin. This interrupt is made available through the PC5/PIRQ pin, if the PIRQ function is selected. Three additional conditions are required for PIRQto be asserted : 1) the handshake pin status bitis set, 2) the corresponding interrupt (service request) enable bit is set,and 3) DMA requests are not associated with that data transfer (H1 and H3 only). The conditions from each of the four handshake status bits and corresponding status bits are ORedto determine PIRQ.Toclearthe interrupt, the proper status bit must be cleared (see 2.3. Direct Methodof Resetting Status).

The third method of requesting service is via the PC4/DMAREQ pin. This pin canbe associatedwith double-buffered transfersin eachmode. If itis used as a DMA controller request, it can initiate requests to keep the PI/T’s input/output double-buffering empty/fullasmuchaspossible.Itwillnot overrunthe DMA controller. The pin is compatible with the 68440direct memory access controller(DMAC).

2.2.1. VECTORED, PRIORITIZED PORT INTERRUPTS.Use ofTS68000compatible vectoredinterrupts with the PI/T requires the PIRQ and PIACK pins.When PIACKis asserted while PIRQ is asserted,the PI/T places an 8-bit vector on the datapins D0-D7.Under normalconditions, this vector correspondsto the highest priority enabled active port interrupt source with which the DMAREQ pin is not currently associated. The most-significant six bits are provided by the port interrupt vector register (PIVR), with the lower two bits supplied by prioritization logic according to conditions present when PIACKis asserted.It isimportant tonotethattheon-

ly effect on the PI/T caused by interrupt acknowledgecycles is that the vectoris placed on the data bus. Specifically, no registers, data,status, or other internal states of the PI/T are affectedby the cycle.

Several conditions may bepresentwhenthe PIACK inputis assertedto thePI/T. These conditionsaffect the PI/T’sresponse and the termination of the bus cycle.If thePI/T has no interrupt function selected, or is not asserting PIRQ, the PI/Twill make no responsetoPIACK(DTACKwillnot beasserted). Ifthe PI/Tis asserting PIRQwhen PIACKis received, the PI/Twilloutputthecontentsoftheport interrupt vectorregisterandthe prioritization bits.Ifthe PIVRhas not been initialized, $0F will be read fromthis register.These conditions are summarized in table 2.1.

The vector table entries for the PI/T appear as a contiguous block of four vector numbers whose commonuppersixbitsare programmed inthePIVR. The following table pairs each interrupt sourcewith the 2-bit value provided by the prioritization logic when interrupt acknowledge is asserted (see 4.2. Port Service Request Register (PSRR)).

H1 source - 00 H2 source - 01 H3 source - 10 H4 source - 11

2.2.2. AUTOVECTORED PORT INTERRUPTS. Autovectored interrupts use only thePIRQ pin. The operation of thePI/Twithvectoredand autovectored interruptsis identical exceptthatnovectors aresuppliedand thePC6/PIACK pincan beused as a port C pin.

2.2.3. DMA REQUEST OPERATION. The direct memory access request (DMAREQ) pulse (when enabled) isassociated withoutput or input transfers tokeepthe initialand finaloutput latchesfullorinitial and final input latches empty, respectively. Figures

2.3and 2.4showallthepossible pathsin generating DMArequests. See4.2. Port ServiceRequest Re- gister(PSRR)for programming the operationof the DMA request bit.

DMAREQ is generated on the bus side of the TS68230 by the synchronized* chip select. If the conditionsof figures2.3or 2.4aremet, anassertion ofCS willcauseDMAREQ tobeassertedthreePI/T clocks(plusthedelay timefromthe clockedge)after CS is synchronized. DMAREQ remains asserted threeclockcycles(plusthedelaytimefromtheclock edge) andis then negated.

DMAREQ pulses are associated with peripheral transfers or are generated by the synchronized* H1(H3) input. If the conditions of figures2.3 or 2.4 aremet, an assertion of theH1(H3) input will cause DMAREQ to be asserted 2.5PI/T clock cycles(plus the delaytime fromclockedge) afterH1(H3)is synchronized. DMAREQ remains asserted threeclock cycles(plus thedelaytimefrom the clockedge)and is then negated.

2.3. DIRECT METHODOF RESETTING STATUS In certain modes one or more handshake pins can

be used as edge-sensitive inputs for the sole purposeof settingbits intheport statusregister. These bitsconsistof simpleflip-flops.Theyareset (toone) by the occurrence of the asserted edge of the handshake pin input.Resetting ahandshake status bit can be done by writingan 8-bitmask to the port statusregister.Thisiscalledthedirect methodofresetting.To reseta statusbit that is resettable by the direct method, the mask must contain a onein the bitposition of theportstatus register corresponding to the desired status bit. For statusbits that are not resettableby thedirectmethodin thechosen mode, the datawrittento the portstatus register hasno effect. For status bitsthat are resettable by thedirect methodinthe chosen mode, a zeroin themaskhas no effect.

2.4. HANDSHAKE PIN SENSECONTROL The PI/Tcontains exclusive-OR gates tocontrol the

sense of eachof the handshakepins,whetherused

as inputs or outputs. Four bits in the port general control register may be programmed to determine whether the pins are asserted in the low- or highvoltage state.As with other controlregisters, these bits arereset tozero whenthe RESET pin is asserted, defaulting the asserted level to be low.

2.5. ENABLING PORTS A ANDB Certain functions involved with double-buffered da-

ta transfers, thehandshake pins, andthe statusbits may be disabled by the external system or by the programmer during initialization. The port general control register contains two bits, H12 enable and H34 enable, which control these functions. These bits are cleared to the zero state when the RESET pin isasserted, and the functions are disabled. The functionsare the following :

1.Independent of other actions by the bus master or peripheral (viathe handshake pins), the PI/T’s disabledhandshakecontroller is held to the ”empty”state; i.e.,no dataispresent inthe double-buffered data path.

2.When any handshake pinis used toset a simple status flip-flop, unrelated to double-buffered transfers, theseflip-flops are heldreset to zero (seetable 1.1).

3.When H2(H4) is used in an interlocked or pulsed handshake with H1(H3), H2(H4) is held negated,regardless ofthe chosenmode,submode,and primary direction. Thus,fordoublebuffered input transfers,the programmer may signal a peripheral when the PI/T is ready to begin transfers by setting the associated handshake enable bit to one.

2.6. PORT A ANDB ALTERNATE REGISTERS Inaddition totheportAandBdataregisters, thePI/T

contains port A and B alternate registers. These registersarereadonly,andsimplyprovide the ins-tantaneous (non-latched) level of each port pin. They have no effect on the operation of the hand-shake pins,double-buffered transfers,statusbits,or anyother aspect ofthePI/T,andtheyaremode/submode independent. Refer to 4.7. Port Alternate Regis- ters for further information.

PORT MODES

This sectioncontains information that distinguishes the various port modes and submodes. General characteristics common to allmodes are definedin

Section 2Port GeneralInformationand Conventions. A description of the port A control register

(PACR) and port Bcontrol register (PBCR)is given beforeeach modedescription. Aftereach submode description,the programmable options arelistedfor that submode.

The port A control register, in conjunction with the programmed mode and the port B submode, controls the operation of port A and the handshake pinsH1and H2. TheportA control register contains fivefields : bits7 and 6 specifythe port Asubmode; bits5, 4, and3controlthe operation oftheH2 handshake pin and the H2S status bit ; bit 2 determines whetheraninterrupt willbegenerated whentheH2S statusbitgoes toone ; andbit1 determines whether aservicerequest (interrupt requestorDMArequest) willoccur;bit0controls theoperationof theH1Sstatus bit. The PACR is always readable andwritable.

All bits are cleared to zero when the RESET pin is asserted.When theport Asubmodefieldisrelevant ina mode/submode definition,it must notbealtered unless the H12enable bitin theportgeneral control register is clear (seetable 1.3 located at theend of this document). Altering these bits will give unpredictable results.

The PBCRis alwaysreadable and writable. There isnever a consequence to reading the register. All bits are cleared to zero when the RESET pin is asserted. WhentheportB submodefieldisrelevant ina mode/submode definition, itmustnot bealtered unlessthe H34enable bit in theport general control register is clear (see table 1.3 located at the end of thisdocument).

3.3.MODE 0 - UNIDIRECTIONAL 8-BIT MODE In mode 0, ports A and B operate independently.

Eachmay beconfigured inany of its three possible submodes :

Submode 00-Pin-Definable Double-Buffered Input orSingle-Buffered Output

Submode 01 - Pin-Definable Double-Buffered Output orNon-Latched Input

Submode 1X- Bit I/O(Pin-Definable Single-Buffered Output or Non-Latched Input)

Handshake pinsH1and H2 areassociatedwithport A andconfigured by programming theportA control register. (The H12 enable bit of the port general control register enables port A transfers). Handshake pins H3 and H4 are associated with port B and configured by programming the port B control register. (The H34 enable bit of the port general control register enables port B transfers).The port A and B data direction registers operate in all three submodes. Alongwith the submode, theyaffect the data read andwrite at the associated data register according to table3.1. They also enable the output buffer associated with each portpin. TheDMAREQ pin may be associated with either (not both) port A orportB,butdoesnotfunctionifthebitI/Osubmode (submode 1X) is programmed for the chosen port.

3.3.1.SUBMODE 00 - PIN-DEFINABLE DOUBLE-

BUFFERED INPUT OR SINGLE-BUFFERED OUTPUT. In mode 0, double-buffered input transfersof up toeightbits areavailable by programming submode 00 in the desired port’s control register. Datathat meets theport setupand holdtimesis latchedon the asserted edge of H1(H3)and isplaced in the initial or finalinput latch. H1(H3)is edge sensitive and may assume any duty cycle as long as bothhighandlowminimumtimesareobserved. The PI/Tcontainsa portstatusregisterwhoseH1S(H3S) status bit is set anytime anyinput data thathas not been read by thebus masteris present in the double-buffered latches. The action of H2(H4) is programmable. The following options are available :

1. H2(H4) maybe an edge-sensitive status input thatis independent of H1(H3) and the transfer of port data. On the assertededge of H2(H4), the H2S(H4S) status bit isset. It is cleared by eithertheRESETpin being asserted,writinga oneto theparticular statusbit inthe portstatus register (PSR), or when the H12enable (H34 enable) bit of the port general register is clear.

2. H2(H4) may be a general-purpose output pin that is always negated. In this case the H2S(H4S) status bit is always clear.

3. H2(H4) may be a general-purpose output pin that is always asserted. In this case the H2S(H4S) status bit is always clear.

4. H2(H4)maybe anoutput pinin theinterlocked inputhandshake protocol. It is assertedwhen the port input latches are ready to acceptnew data. It is negated asynchronously following

as the input latches become ready, H2(H4) is again asserted. When the inputdouble-buffered latches are full, H2(H4) remains negated until data is removed. Thus, anytime the H2(H4) outputisasserted, new inputdatamay be entered by asserting H1(H3). At other times, transitions on H1(H3) are ignored. The H2S(H4S) status bit is always clear. When H12 enable (H34 enable) in the port general controlregister is clear, H2(H4) is held negated.

5. H2(H4) may be an output pin in the pulsedinput handshake protocol. It is asserted exactly as in the interlockedinput protocol above, but neverremains assertedlongerthan fourclock cycles.Typically, afourclockcyclepulseis generated. But in the case of a subsequent H1(H3) asserted edge occurring beforetermination of the pulse, H2(H4) is negated asynchronously. Thus, anytime after the leading edge of the H2(H4) pulse, new data may be entered in the double-buffered input latches. TheH2S(H4S)statusbitisalwaysclear.When H12 enable (H34 enable) is clear, H2(H4) is heldnegated.

For pins used as outputs,the datapath consists of a singlelatch driving the output buffer.Data written to the port’s data register does not affectthe operationof any handshake pin or status bit. Output pins may be used independently of the input transfers. However, readbus cyclesto thedata register do remove datafrom theport. Therefore, care should be taken to avoid processor instructions that perform unwanted read cycles.
