immediately following power-up. Note 3: The nKBDRST and A20M functions must default to high on VCC POR and Hard Reset. Note 4: This pin requires an external pulldown resistor to put the base I/O address for configuration at
0x02E. An external pullup resistor is required to move the base I/O address for configuration
to 0x04E. Note 5: The TXD2 pin will power up as an output and low following a VCC POR and Hard Reset due
to its IR functionality. Note 6: Buffer types per function on multiplexed pins are separated by a slash “/”. Buffer types in
parenthesis represent multiple buffer types for a single pin function. Note 7: If the 32kHz clock is not used, the CLKI32 pin must be grounded. Bit 0 of the CLKI32
configuration register located at 0xF0 in Logical Device A must be set to ‘1’. Note 8: The GP35/IRTX2 pin powers up as an output and high on VTR POR, VCC POR and Hard
Reset. This pin and GP34/IRRX2 pin are not recommended to be used for IR functionality.

POWER FUNCTIONALITY
The LPC47B34x has three power planes: VCC, VTR and VBAT.
VCC Power
The LPC47B34x is a 3.3 Volt part. The VCC supply is 3.3 Volts (nominal). See the “Operational Description” section. See also the “Maximum Current Values” subsection of the “Power Functionality” section.
VTR Support
The LPC47B34x requires a trickle supply (VTR) to provide sleep current for the programmable wake-up events in the PME interface when VCC is removed. The VTR supply is 3.3 Volts (nominal). See the “Operational Description” section. The maximum VTR current that is required depends on the functions that are used in the part. See the “Trickle Power Functionality” and the “Maximum Current Values” subsections of the “Power Functionality” section. If the LPC47B34x is not intended to provide wake-up capabilities on standby current, VTR can be connected to VCC. The VTR pin generates a V Power-on-Reset signal to initialize the components that are powered by VTR.
Note: If VTR is to be used for programmable wake-up events when VCC is removed, VTR must be at its full minimum potential at least 10 µs before VCC begins a power-on cycle. When VTR and VCC are fully powered, the potential difference between the two supplies must not exceed 500mV.
VBAT Power
The LPC47B34x requires a battery supply (VBAT) to provide battery functionality to certain pins, registers and logic. The VBAT supply is 3.3 Volts (nominal). See the “Operational Description” section. See also the “Battery Power Functionality” and the “Maximum Current Values” subsection of the “Power Functionality” section.
TR
Internal PWRGOOD
An internal PWRGOOD logical control is included to minimize the effects of pin-state uncertainty in the host interface as VCC cycles on and off. When the internal PWRGOOD signal is “1” (active), VCC >
2.3V (nominal), and the LPC47B34x host interface is active. When the internal PWRGOOD signal is “0” (inactive), VCC <= 2.3V (nominal), and the LPC47B34x host interface is inactive; that is, LPC bus reads and writes will not be decoded.
The LPC47B34x device pins nIO_PME, CLOCKI32, KDAT, MDAT, RING, nRI1, nRI2, RXD2 and GPIOs (as input) are part of the PME interface and remain active when the internal PWRGOOD signal has gone inactive, provided VTR is powered. The COLOR and BLINK pins also remain active when the internal PWRGOOD signal has gone inactive, provided VTR is powered. The nINTRSN pin also remains active when the internal PWRGOOD signal is inactive, however, this is a battery powered pin, so it is functional as input even if VTR is not powered.
32.768 kHz Trickle Clock Input
The LPC47B34x utilizes a 32.768 kHz trickle clock input to supply a clock signal for the WDT, ring filter, LED blink, wake on specific key function. See the following section for more information.
14
Indication of 32kHz Clock
There is a bit to indicate whether or not the 32kHz clock input is connected to the LPC47B34x. This bit is located at bit 0 of the CLOCKI32 register at 0xF0 in Logical Device A. This register is powered by VTR and reset on a VTR POR.
Bit[0] (CLK32_PRSN) is defined as follows: 0=32kHz clock is connected to the CLKI32 pin (default) 1=32kHz clock is not connected to the CLKI32 pin (pin is grounded).
Bit 0 controls the source of the 32kHz (nominal) clock for the WDT, ring filter, the LED blink logic, the “wake on specific key” logic. When the external 32kHz clock is connected (CLK32_PRSN=0), that will be the source for these functions. When the external 32kHz clock is not connected (CLK32_PRSN=1), an internal 32kHz clock source will be derived from the 14MHz clock for these functions when VCC is active.
The internal ring oscillator can be used for the LED blink and the wake on specific key logic, when the 32kHz clock is not available. See the Internal Ring Oscillator section.
The following functions will not work under VTR power (VCC removed) if the external 32kHz clock is not connected. These functions will work under VCC power.
Ring Filter
WDT
Internal Ring Oscillator
The internal ring oscillator may be used when the 32kHz trickle input clock is not active. This ring oscillator can be used for the following functions when VCC=0:
LED blink
Wake on Specific Key Feature
When the ring oscillator is used, there is a frequency range on the LED blink rates as follows (the duty cycle is in parenthesis).
0.25 Hz max, 0.084-0.25Hz (10%)
0.5 Hz max, 0.17-0.5 Hz (25%)
1.0 Hz max, 0.33-1.0 Hz (50%)
2.0 Hz max, 0.67-2.0 Hz (50%)
3.0 Hz max, 1.0 - 3.0 Hz (50%)
4.0 Hz max, 1.33-4.0 Hz (50%)
See the LED register (offset 0x5B) in the “Runtime Registers” section for the bit combinations to select these blink rates.
The Oscillator Select register contains the bits that are used to determine whether the 32kHz trickle clock is used or the ring oscillator is used, as follows:
If bits[1:0] are set to ‘10’ then the 32kHz input is always used for the functions described above.
In this case, the internal ring oscillator is not used. This is the default condition. The CLK32_PRSN bit is set to ‘0’.
If bits[1:0] are set to ‘01’ then the internal ring oscillator is always used for the functions described
above while VCC=0 (S3, S4/S5 sleep states). When VCC is active, the 32kHz clock signal is
15
derived from the 14MHz clock. The CLK32_PRSN bit is set to ‘1’. In this case, the range on the LED blink rates is as indicated above.
If bits[1:0] are set to ‘00’ then the 32kHz clock is always used for the functions described above. In
this case, the ring oscillator is turned off. The CLK32_PRSN bit is set to ‘0’.
Note: It is recommended that bits[1:0] be reprogrammed to ‘00’ upon power-up if the 32kHz input is to be used so that the ring oscillator is turned off.
Bit 0 of the CLOCKI32 Configuration Register (CLK32_PRSN) determines whether an external 32kHz clock is connected to the part. If the external 32kHz clock is not connected to the part (bit 0 of the CLOCKI32 Configuration Register is ‘1’) then the bits defined above must be ‘01’ for the internal ring oscillator to be used for these functions described above. That is, if the external 32kHz clock is not connected to the part then the internal ring oscillator replaces the 32kHz clock to all functions when VCC=0 if bits[1:0] are set to ‘01’. Note that if the 32kHz clock is not used then the 32kHz clock signal is derived from the 14MHz clock when VCC is active.
See the Intrusion/Oscillator Select Register for a description of the bits to be used to determine whether the 32kHz trickle clock is used or the Ring Oscillator is used. This register is located at the offset of 0x5E from the base I/O address in logical device A. See the Runtime Registers section for description.
The 32kHz clock signal from the external 32kHz clock input is available/unavailable for these features in one of two cases:
Case 1: External 32kHz clock input is active when VCC is active (S0, S1) and when VCC=0 (S3-
S5 states) i.e., the 32kHz clock is connected and always active. In this case, the internal ring oscillator would not be used and bits[1:0] of the Oscillator Select Register should be programmed to ‘00’. The CLK32_PRSN bit is ‘0’.
Case 2: External 32kHz clock is not connected. The internal ring oscillator is used when VCC=0
with bits[1:0] of the Oscillator Select Register = ‘01’. Note that in this case, the internal ring oscillator is used for the LED blink and wake on specific key in the S3 state as well as in the S4/S5 state. When VCC is active (S0, S1) the 32kHz clock is derived from the 14MHz clock. The CLK32_PRSN bit is ‘1’.
When the LPC47B34x switches from the ring oscillator to the 32kHz clock, edge detection on the internal 32kHz clock source is used to insure that it is active before the switching takes place.
Switching between the ring oscillator and the 32kHz clock derived from the 14MHz clock input (case 2) is performed by the part as follows:
When VCC goes inactive, use the ring oscillator.
When VCC goes active and an edge is detected on the 32kHz clock source to the Clock Select
Logic, switch to the 32kHz clock.
The “Wake on Specific Key” option and LED blink will run off of the ring oscillator when the external 32kHz clock and 14MHz clock are not available.
The Ring Filter and WDT options do not function when both external 32kHz input clock signal and 14MHz input clock signal are not available. These features do not run off the ring oscillator.
16
Trickle Power Functionality
When the LPC47B34x is running under VTR only, the following functionality is retained: PME wakeup events are active and (if enabled) able to assert the nIO_PME pin active low. The following lists the wakeup events:
UART 1 Ring Indicator
UART 2 Ring Indicator
Keyboard data
Mouse data
nRING
Wake on Specific Key Logic
Intrusion
GPIOs for wakeup. See below.
The following requirements apply to all I/O pins that are specified to be 5 volt tolerant.
I/O buffers that are wake-up event compatible are powered by VCC. Under VTR power (VCC=0),
these pins may only be configured as inputs. These inputs have input buffers into the wakeup logic that are powered by VTR.
I/O buffers that may be configured as either push-pull or open drain under VTR power (VCC=0),
are powered by VTR. This means at a minimum, they will source their specified current from VTR even when VCC is present.
The GPIOs that are used for PME wakeup are GP10-GP17, GP20- GP27, GP32-GP33, GP36, GP37, GP41, GP42, GP43-GP45, GP50, GP56-GP57, GP60, GP61, GP65, GP70-77, GP80-82, GP85-86. These GPIOs function as follows (with the exception of GP42, GP65 and GP86 - see below):
Buffers are powered by VCC, but in the absence of VCC they are backdrive protected (they do not
impose a load on any external VTR powered circuitry). They are wakeup compatible inputs under
VTR power. These pins have input buffers into the wakeup logic that are powered by VTR. All GPIOs listed above are for PME wakeup. GP50 can be used for PME wakeup only if nRI2 function is selected. GP42 has the nIO_PME output pin function.
The other GPIOs function as follows: GP34, GP35, GP40, GP46, GP51-GP55, GP62, GP63, GP64, GP83 and GP84:
Buffers powered by VCC, but in the absence of VCC they are backdrive protected. These pins are not used for wakeup.
GP30, GP31, GP42, GP65, GP66, GP67, GP86:
Buffer is powered by VTR. GP42 has the IO_PME pin function. GP66 and GP67 are not used for wakeup.
See the Table in the GPIO section for more information. The IRTX pin (TXD2/GP53) is driven low on VCC POR and Hard Reset regardless of the selected pin
function. The TXD2/GP53 pin will remain low following a VCC POR until the serial port is enabled by setting the activate bit, at which time the pin will reflect the state of the UART2 transmit output. If the IRTX function is selected for the pin, the pin will reflect the state of the IR transmit output of the IRCC block when the serial port is enabled by setting the activate bit. If the GPIO output function is selected, the pin will reflect the state of the data bit.

LPC Interface
The following sub-sections specify the implementation of the LPC bus.
LPC Interface Signal Definition
The signals required for the LPC bus interface are described in the table below. LPC bus signals use PCI 33MHz electrical signal characteristics.
SIGNAL NAME TYPE DESCRIPTION
LAD[3:0] I/O LPC address/data bus. Multiplexed command, address and data
bus.
nLFRAME Input Frame signal. Indicates start of new cycle and termination of
broken cycle
nPCI_RESET Input PCI Reset. Used as LPC Interface Reset. Same functionality as
RST_DRV but active low 3.3V. nLDRQ Output Encoded DMA/Bus Master request for the LPC interface. nIO_PME OD Power Mgt Event signal. Allows the LPC47B34x to request
wakeup. nLPCPD Input Powerdown Signal. Indicates that the LPC47B34x should prepare
for power to be shut on the LPC interface.
20
SIGNAL NAME TYPE DESCRIPTION
SERIRQ I/O Serial IRQ. PCI_CLK Input PCI Clock.
LPC Cycles
The following cycle types are supported by the LPC protocol.
CYCLE TYPE TRANSFER SIZE
I/O Write 1 Byte Transfer
I/O Read 1 Byte Transfer DMA Write 1 byte DMA Read 1 byte
The LPC47B34x ignores cycles that it does not support.
Field Definitions
The data transfers are based on specific fields that are used in various combinations, depending on the cycle type. These fields are driven onto the LAD[3:0] signal lines to communicate address, control and data information over the LPC bus between the host and the LPC47B34x. See the Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface Specification Reference, Section 4.2 for definition of these fields.
nLFRAME Usage
nLFRAME is used by the host to indicate the start of cycles and the termination of cycles due to an abort or time-out condition. This signal is to be used by the LPC47B34x to know when to monitor the bus for a cycle.
This signal is used as a general notification that the LAD[3:0] lines contain information relative to the start or stop of a cycle, and that the LPC47B34x monitors the bus to determine whether the cycle is intended for it. The use of nLFRAME allows the LPC47B34x to enter a lower power state internally. There is no need for the LPC47B34x to monitor the bus when it is inactive, so it can decouple its state machines from the bus, and internally gate its clocks.
When the LPC47B34x samples nLFRAME active, it immediately stops driving the LAD[3:0] signal lines on the next clock and monitor the bus for new cycle information.
The nLFRAME signal functions as described in the Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface Specification Reference.
I/O Read and Write Cycles The LPC47B34x is the target for I/O cycles. I/O cycles are initiated by the host for register or FIFO accesses, and will generally have minimal Sync times. The minimum number of wait-states between bytes is 1. EPP cycles will depend on the speed of the external device, and may have much longer Sync times.
Data transfers are assumed to be exactly 1-byte. If the CPU requested a 16 or 32-bit transfer, the host will break it up into 8-bit transfers.
See the Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface Specification Reference, Section 5.2, for the sequence of cycles for the I/O Read and Write cycles.
21
DMA Read and Write Cycles DMA read cycles involve the transfer of data from the host (main memory) to the LPC47B34x. DMA
write cycles involve the transfer of data from the LPC47B34x to the host (main memory). Data will be coming from or going to a FIFO and will have minimal Sync times. Data transfers to/from the LPC47B34x are 1 byte.
See the Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface Specification Reference, Section 6.4, for the field definitions and the sequence of the DMA Read and Write cycles.
DMA Protocol DMA on the LPC bus is handled through the use of the nLDRQ lines from the LPC47B34x and special encodings on LAD[3:0] from the host.
The DMA mechanism for the LPC bus is described in the Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface Specification Reference.
Power Management
CLOCKRUN Protocol
The nCLKRUN pin is not implemented in the LPC47B34x. See the Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface Specification Reference, Section 8.1.
LPCPD Protocol
See the Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface Specification Reference, Section 8.2.
SYNC Protocol
See the Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface Specification Reference Section 4.2.1.8 for a table of valid SYNC values.
Typical Usage
The SYNC pattern is used to add wait states. For read cycles, the LPC47B34x immediately drives the SYNC pattern upon recognizing the cycle. The host immediately drives the sync pattern for write cycles. If the LPC47B34x needs to assert wait states, it does so by driving 0101 or 0110 on LAD[3:0] until it is ready, at which point it will drive 0000 or 1001. The LPC47B34x will choose to assert 0101 or 0110, but not switch between the two patterns.
The data (or wait state SYNC) will immediately follow the 0000 or 1001 value. The SYNC value of 0101 is intended to be used for normal wait states, wherein the cycle will complete
within a few clocks. The LPC47B34x uses a SYNC of 0101 for all wait states in a DMA transfer. The SYNC value of 0110 is intended to be used where the number of wait states is large. This is
provided for EPP cycles, where the number of wait states could be quite large (>1 microsecond). However, the LPC47B34x uses a SYNC of 0110 for all wait states in an I/O transfer.
The SYNC value is driven within 3 clocks.
22
SYNC Timeout
The SYNC value is driven within 3 clocks. If the host observes 3 consecutive clocks without a valid SYNC pattern, it will abort the cycle.
The LPC47B34x does not assume any particular timeout. When the host is driving SYNC, it may have to insert a very large number of wait states, depending on PCI latencies and retries.
SYNC Patterns and Maximum Number of SYNCS
If the SYNC pattern is 0101, then the host assumes that the maximum number of SYNCs is 8. If the SYNC pattern is 0110, then no maximum number of SYNCs is assumed. The LPC47B34x has
protection mechanisms to complete the cycle. This is used for EPP data transfers and utilizes the same timeout protection that is in EPP.
SYNC Error Indication
The LPC47B34x reports errors via the LAD[3:0] = 1010 SYNC encoding. If the host was reading data from the LPC47B34x, data will still be transferred in the next two nibbles. This data may be invalid, but it will be transferred by the LPC47B34x. If the host was writing data to the LPC47B34x, the data had already been transferred.
In the case of multiple byte cycles, such as DMA cycles, an error SYNC terminates the cycle. Therefore, if the host is transferring 4 bytes from a device, if the device returns the error SYNC in the first byte, the other three bytes will not be transferred.
I/O and DMA START Fields I/O and DMA cycles use a START field of 0000.
Reset Policy The following rules govern the reset policy:
1) When nPCI_RESET goes inactive (high), the clock is assumed to have been running for 100usec prior to the removal of the reset signal, so that everything is stable. This is the same reset active time after clock is stable that is used for the PCI bus.
2) When nPCI_RESET goes active (low): a) The host drives the nLFRAME signal high, tristates the LAD[3:0] signals, and ignores the
nLDRQ signal.
b) The LPC47B34x ignores nLFRAME, tristate the LAD[3:0] pins and drive the nLDRQ signal
inactive (high).
23
LPC Transfer Sequence Examples
Wait State Requirements
I/O Transfers The LPC47B34x inserts three wait states for an I/O read and two wait states for an I/O write cycle. A SYNC of 0110 is used for all I/O transfers. The exception to this is for transfers where IOCHRDY would be deasserted in an ISA system (i.e., EPP transfers) in which case the sync pattern of 0110 is used and a large number of syncs may be inserted (up to 330 which corresponds to a timeout of 10us).
DMA Transfers The LPC47B34x inserts three wait states for a DMA read and four wait states for a DMA write cycle. A SYNC of 0101 is used for all DMA transfers.
See the example timing for I/O and DMA transfers in the “Timing Diagrams” section.
24
FLOPPY DISK CONTROLLER
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 FDC is compatible to the 82077AA using SMSC's proprietary floppy disk controller core.
FDC Internal Registers
The Floppy Disk Controller contains eight internal registers that facilitate the interfacing between the host microprocessor and the disk drive. Table 2 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.

Data Rate Select Register (DSR)
Address 3F4 WRITE ONLY
This register is write only. It is used to program the data rate, amount of write precompensation, power down status, and software reset. The data rate is programmed using the Configuration Control Register (CCR) not the DSR, for PC/AT and PS/2 Model 30 applications. Other 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.

BIT 2 through 4 PRECOMPENSATION SELECT
These three bits select the value of write precompensation that will be applied to the WDATA output signal. Table 6 shows the precompensation values for the combination of these bits settings. Track 0 is the default starting track number to start precompensation. this starting track number can be changed by the configure command.
BIT 5 UNDEFINED

BIT 6 LOW POWER
A logic "1" written to this bit will put the floppy controller into manual low power mode. The floppy controller clock and data separator circuits will be turned off. The controller will come out of manual low power mode after a software reset or access to the Data Register or Main Status Register.
BIT 7 SOFTWARE RESET
This active high bit has the same function as the DOR RESET (DOR bit 2) except that this bit is self clearing.
Note: The DSR is Shadowed in the Floppy Data Rate Select Shadow Register, located at the offset 0x1F in the runtime register block.

Main Status Register
Address 3F4 READ ONLY
The Main Status Register is a read-only register and indicates the status of the disk controller. The Main Status Register can be read at any time. The MSR indicates when the disk controller is ready to receive data via the Data Register. It should be read before each byte transferring to or from the data register except in DMA mode. No delay is required when reading the MSR after a data transfer.

DRV0 BUSY
BIT 0 - 1 DRV x BUSY
These bits are set to 1s when a drive is in the seek portion of a command, including implied and overlapped seeks and recalibrates.
BIT 4 COMMAND BUSY
This bit is set to a 1 when a command is in progress. This bit will go active after the command byte has been accepted and goes inactive at the end of the results phase. If there is no result phase (Seek, Recalibrate commands), this bit is returned to a 0 after the last command byte.
BIT 5 NON-DMA
This mode is selected in the SPECIFY command and will be set to a 1 during the execution phase of a command. This is for polled data transfers and helps differentiate between the data transfer phase and the reading of result bytes.
BIT 6 DIO
Indicates the direction of a data transfer once a RQM is set. A 1 indicates a read and a 0 indicates a write is required.
BIT 7 RQM
Indicates that the host can transfer data if set to a 1. No access is permitted if set to a 0.
Data Register (FIFO)
Address 3F5 READ/WRITE
All command parameter information, disk data and result status are transferred between the host processor and the floppy disk controller through the Data Register.
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. The default values can be changed through the Configure command (enable full FIFO operation with threshold control). The advantage of the FIFO is that it allows the system a larger DMA latency without causing a disk error. Table 11 gives several examples of the delays with a FIFO.
34
The data is based upon the following formula:
Threshold # x 1
DATA RATE
x 8
- 1.5 µs = DELAY
At the start of a command, the FIFO action is always disabled and command parameters must be sent based upon the RQM and DIO bit settings. As the command execution phase is entered, the FIFO is cleared of any data to ensure that invalid data is not transferred.
An overrun or underrun will terminate the current command and the transfer of data. Disk writes will complete the current sector by generating a 00 pattern and valid CRC. Reads require the host to remove the remaining data so that the result phase may be entered.

RESET
There are three sources of system reset on the FDC: the nPCI_RESET pin, 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.
All operations are terminated upon a nPCI_RESET, and the FDC enters an idle state. A reset while a disk write is in progress will corrupt the data and CRC.
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.
nPCI_RESET Pin (Hardware Reset)
The nPCI_RESET pin is a global reset and clears all registers except those programmed by the Specify command. The DOR reset bit is enabled and must be cleared by the host to exit the reset state.
DOR Reset vs. DSR Reset (Software Reset)
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.
MODES OF OPERATION
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 Interface Mode bits in LD0-CRF0[3,2].
PC/AT mode - (IDENT high, MFM a "don't care") The PC/AT register set is enabled, the DMA enable bit of the DOR becomes valid (controls the interrupt and DMA functions), and DENSEL is an active high signal.
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". The DMA and interrupt functions are always enabled, and DENSEL is active low.

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 (controls the interrupt and DMA functions), and DENSEL is active low.
DMA Transfers
DMA transfers are enabled with the Specify command and are initiated by the FDC by activating a DMA request cycle. DMA read, write and verify cycles are supported. The FDC supports two DMA transfer modes: Single Transfer and Burst Transfer. Burst mode is enabled via Logical Device 0­CRF0-Bit[1] (LD0-CRF0[1]).
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.
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 16 for the command set descriptions). These bytes of data must be transferred in the order prescribed.
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 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.
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.
After a reset, the FIFO is disabled. Each data byte is transferred by read/write or DMA cycle depending on the DMA mode. The Configure command can enable the FIFO and set the FIFO threshold value.
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. 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.
43
Non-DMA Mode - Transfers from the FIFO to the Host The interrupt 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 interrupt can be used for interrupt-driven systems, 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 interrupt and RQM bit when the FIFO becomes empty.
Non-DMA Mode - Transfers from the Host to the FIFO The interrupt 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 interrupt 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 FDC enters the result phase after the last byte is taken by the FDC from the FIFO (i.e. FIFO empty condition).
DMA Mode - Transfers from the FIFO to the Host The FDC generates a DMA request cycle 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 DMA request when the FIFO becomes empty by generating the proper sync for the data transfer.
DMA Mode - Transfers from the Host to the FIFO. The FDC generates a DMA request cycle when entering the execution phase of the data transfer
commands. The DMA controller must respond by placing data in the FIFO. The DMA request remains active until the FIFO becomes full. The DMA request cycle is reasserted when the FIFO has <threshold> bytes remaining in the FIFO. The FDC will terminate the DMA cycle after a TC, indicating that no more data is required.
Data Transfer Termination
The FDC supports terminal count explicitly through the TC cycle 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.
If the last sector to be transferred is a partial sector, the host can stop transferring the data in mid­sector, and the FDC will continue to complete the sector as if a hardware TC cycle was received. The only difference between these implicit functions and TC cycle 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.
44
Result Phase
The generation of the interrupt 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.
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.
Command Set/Descriptions
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 is issued. The user sends a Sense Interrupt Status command which returns an invalid command error. Refer to Table 16 for explanations of the various symbols used. Table 17 lists the required parameters and the results associated with each command that the FDC is capable of performing.
Table 15 – Description of Command Symbols
SYMBOL NAME DESCRIPTION
C Cylinder Address The currently selected address; 0 to 255. D Data Pattern The pattern to be written in each sector data field during
formatting.
D0, D1 Drive Select 0-1 Designates which drives are perpendicular drives on the
Perpendicular Mode Command. A "1" indicates a perpendicular drive.
DIR Direction Control If this bit is 0, then the head will step out from the spindle during a
relative seek. If set to a 1, the head will step in toward the spindle.
DS0, DS1 Disk Drive Select DS1 DS0 DRIVE
0 0 Drive 0 0 1 Drive 1
DTL Special Sector
Size
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 zero bytes. The CRC check code is calculated with the actual sector. When N is not zero, DTL has no meaning and should be set to FF HEX.
EC Enable Count When this bit is "1" the "DTL" parameter of the Verify command
becomes SC (number of sectors per track).
EFIFO Enable FIFO This active low bit when a 0, enables the FIFO. A "1" disables the
FIFO (default).
EIS Enable Implied
Seek
When set, a seek operation will be performed before executing any read or write command that requires the C parameter in the
command phase. A "0" disables the implied seek. EOT End of Track The final sector number of the current track. GAP Alters Gap 2 length when using Perpendicular Mode.
45
SYMBOL NAME DESCRIPTION
GPL Gap Length The Gap 3 size. (Gap 3 is the space between sectors excluding
the VCO synchronization field). H/HDS Head Address Selected head: 0 or 1 (disk side 0 or 1) as encoded in the sector
ID field. HLT Head Load Time The time interval that FDC waits after loading the head and before
initializing a read or write operation. Refer to the Specify
command for actual delays. HUT Head Unload
Time
The time interval from the end of the execution phase (of a read or
write command) until the head is unloaded. Refer to the Specify
command for actual delays. LOCK Lock defines whether EFIFO, FIFOTHR, and PRETRK parameters
of the CONFIGURE COMMAND can be reset to their default
values by a "software Reset". (A reset caused by writing to the
appropriate bits of either the DSR or DOR) MFM MFM/FM Mode
Selector
MT Multi-Track
Selector
A one selects the double density (MFM) mode. A zero selects
single density (FM) mode.
When set, this flag selects the multi-track operating mode. In this
mode, the FDC treats a complete cylinder under head 0 and 1 as
a single track. The FDC operates as this expanded track started
at the first sector under head 0 and ended at the last sector under
head 1. With this flag set, a multitrack read or write operation will
automatically continue to the first sector under head 1 when the
FDC finishes operating on the last sector under head 0. N Sector Size Code This specifies the number of bytes in a sector. If this parameter is
"00", then the sector size is 128 bytes. The number of bytes
transferred is determined by the DTL parameter. Otherwise the
sector size is (2 raised to the "N'th" power) times 128. All values
up to "07" hex are allowable. "07"h would equal a sector size of
16k. It is the user's responsibility to not select combinations that
are not possible with the drive.
N SECTOR SIZE
128 Bytes
256 Bytes
512 Bytes
1024 Bytes
… …
07 16K Bytes NCN New Cylinder
The desired cylinder number.
Number
ND Non-DMA Mode
Flag
When set to 1, indicates that the FDC is to operate in the non-
DMA mode. In this mode, the host is interrupted for each data
transfer. When set to 0, the FDC operates in DMA mode,
interfacing to a DMA controller by means of the DRQ and nDACK
signals. OW Overwrite The bits D0-D3 of the Perpendicular Mode Command can only be
modified if OW is set to 1. OW id defined in the Lock command. PCN Present Cylinder
Number
The current position of the head at the completion of Sense
Interrupt Status command.
46
SYMBOL NAME DESCRIPTION
POLL Polling Disable When set, the internal polling routine is disabled. When clear,
polling is enabled. PRETRK Precompensation
Programmable from track 00 to FFH.
Start Track Number
R Sector Address The sector number to be read or written. In multi-sector transfers,
this parameter specifies the sector number of the first sector to be
read or written. RCN Relative Cylinder
Number
SC Number of
Sectors Per Track
Relative cylinder offset from present cylinder as used by the
Relative Seek command.
The number of sectors per track to be initialized by the Format
command. The number of sectors per track to be verified during a
Verify command when EC is set. SK Skip Flag When set to 1, sectors containing a deleted data address mark will
automatically be skipped during the execution of Read Data. If
Read Deleted is executed, only sectors with a deleted address
mark will be accessed. When set to "0", the sector is read or
written the same as the read and write commands. SRT Step Rate Interval The time interval between step pulses issued by the FDC.
Programmable from 0.5 to 8 milliseconds in increments of 0.5 ms
at the 1 Mbit data rate. Refer to the SPECIFY command for actual
delays. ST0 ST1 ST2 ST3

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.
Note: These bits are used internally only. They are not reflected in the Drive Select pins. It is the user's responsibility to maintain correspondence between these bits and the Drive Select pins (DOR).
59
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.
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.
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 the TC cycle, or an implied TC (FIFO overrun/underrun), the FDC stops sending data but will continue to read data from the current sector, check the CRC bytes, and at the end of the sector, terminate the Read Data Command.
N determines the number of bytes per sector (see Table 17 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.
Table 17 – Sector Sizes
N SECTOR SIZE
00 01 02 03 … 07
128 bytes 256 bytes 512 bytes
1024 bytes
...
16 Kbytes
The amount of data that can be handled with a single command to the FDC depends upon MT (multi­track) 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.
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 19.
60
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.
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.
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 20 describes the effect of the SK bit on the Read Data command execution and results. Except where noted in Table 20, the C or R value of the sector address is automatically incremented (see Table 22).

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 ND flag of Status Register 1 to a “1” if there no comparison. Multi-track or skip operations are not allowed with this command. The MT and SK bits (bits D7 and D5 of the first command byte respectively) should always be set to "0".
This command terminates when the EOT specified number of sectors has not been read. If the FDC does not find an ID Address Mark on the diskette after the second occurrence of a pulse on the nINDEX pin, then it 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.

Write Data
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.
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. If it detects a CRC error in one of the ID 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.
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:
Transfer Capacity EN (End of Cylinder) bit ND (No Data) bit Head Load, Unload Time Interval ID information when the host terminates the command
Definition of DTL when N = 0 and when N does not = 0
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 a bad sector containing an error on the floppy disk.
63
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.
Because data is not transferred to the host, the TC cycle 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 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 22 and Table 23 for information concerning the values of MT and EC versus SC and EOT value.
Definitions: # Sectors Per Side = Number of formatted sectors per each side of the disk. # Sectors Remaining = Number of formatted sectors left which can be read, including side 1 of the
disk if MT is set to "1".

Note: If MT is set to "1" and the SC value is greater than the number of remaining formatted sectors on Side 0, verifying will continue on Side 1 of the disk.
Format A Track
The Format command allows an entire track to be formatted. After a pulse from the nINDEX 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).
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 nINDEX pin again and it terminates the command.
Table 24 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.

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.
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.
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.
Recalibrate
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 nTRK0 pin from the FDD. As long as the nTRK0 pin is low, the DIR pin remains 0 and step pulses are issued. When the nTRK0 pin
67
goes high, the SE bit in Status Register 0 is set to "1" and the command is terminated. If the nTRK0 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" 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.
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 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 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:
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.
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. 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.
Note that if implied seek is not enabled, the read and write commands should be preceded by:
1) Seek command - Step to the proper track
2) Sense Interrupt Status command - Terminate the Seek command
3) Read ID - Verify head is on proper track
4) Issue Read/Write command. The Seek command does not have a result phase. Therefore, it is highly recommended that the
Sense Interrupt Status command is 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.
68
Sense Interrupt Status An interrupt signal is generated by the FDC for one of the following reasons:
1. Upon entering the Result Phase of: a. Read Data command b. Read A Track command c. Read ID command d. Read Deleted Data command e. Write Data command f. Format A Track command g. Write Deleted Data command h. Verify command
2. End of Seek, Relative Seek, or Recalibrate command
3. FDC requires a data transfer during the execution phase in the non-DMA mode
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.

Abnormal termination of Seek or Recalibrate command
The Seek, Relative Seek, and Recalibrate commands have no result phase. The Sense Interrupt Status command must be issued 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.
Sense Drive Status
Sense Drive Status obtains drive status information. It has not execution phase and goes directly to the result phase from the command phase. Status Register 3 contains the drive status information.
Specify
The Specify command sets the initial values for each of the three internal times. The HUT (Head Unload Time) defines the time from the end of the execution phase of one of the read/write commands to the head unload state. 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 pulses. The HLT (Head Load Time) defines the time between when the Head Load signal goes high and the read/write operation starts. The values change with the data rate speed selection and are documented in Table 26. The values are the same for MFM and FM.
69
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 signaled by the DMA request cycles. Non-DMA mode uses the RQM bit and the interrupt 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: EIS - No Implied Seeks
EFIFO - FIFO Disabled POLL - Polling Enabled FIFOTHR - FIFO Threshold Set to 1 Byte PRETRK - Pre-Compensation Set to Track 0
EIS - Enable Implied Seek. When set to "1", the FDC will perform a Seek operation before executing a read or write command. Defaults to no implied seek.
EFIFO - A "1" disables the FIFO (default). This means data transfers are asked for on a byte-by-byte basis. Defaults to "1", FIFO disabled. The threshold defaults to "1".
POLL - Disable polling of the drives. Defaults to "0", polling enabled. When enabled, a single interrupt is generated after a reset. No polling is performed while the drive head is loaded and the head unload delay has not expired.
FIFOTHR - The FIFO threshold in the execution phase of read or write commands. This is programmable from 1 to 16 bytes. Defaults to one byte. A "00" selects one byte; "0F" selects 16 bytes.
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.
Version
The Version command checks to see if the controller is an enhanced type or the older type (765A). A value of 90 H is returned as the result byte.
Relative Seek
The command is coded the same as for Seek, except for the MSB of the first byte and the DIR bit. DIR Head Step Direction Control
RCN Relative Cylinder Number that determines how many tracks to step the head in or out from
the current track number.
DIR ACTION

Step Head Out

Step Head In
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 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.
71
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 with a single Relative Seek command is 255 (D).
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 (precompensation track number) when accessing tracks greater than 255. The FDC does not keep track that it is working in an "extended track area" (greater than 255). Any 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 pulses. The user simply needs to issue a second Recalibrate command. The Seek 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.
Perpendicular Mode
The Perpendicular Mode command should be issued prior to executing Read/Write/Format 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 27 describes the effects of the WGATE and GAP bits for the Perpendicular Mode command. Upon a reset, the FDC will default to the conventional mode (WGATE = 0, GAP = 0).
Selection of the 500 Kbps and 1 Mbps perpendicular modes is independent of the actual data rate selected in the Data Rate Select Register. The user must ensure that these two data rates remain consistent.
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 58 illustrates the change in the Gap2 field size for the perpendicular format.
72
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 accommodate the increased Gap2 field size. For both cases, and approximate two-byte cushion is maintained from the beginning of the sync field for the purposes of avoiding write splices in the presence of motor speed variation.
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. 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).
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 user standpoint is unchanged.
The perpendicular mode command is enhanced to allow specific drives to be designated Perpendicular recording drives. This enhancement allows data transfers between Conventional and Perpendicular drives without having to issue Perpendicular mode commands 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:
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.
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:
1. "Software" resets (via the DOR or DSR registers) will only clear GAP and WGATE bits to "0". D0­D3 are unaffected and retain their previous value.
1. "Hardware" resets will clear all bits (GAP, WGATE and D0-D3) to "0", i.e. all conventional
mode.

LOCK
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 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 nPCI_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 LOCK command. This byte reflects the value of the LOCK bit set by the command byte.
Enhanced DUMPREG
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.
Compatibilty
The LPC47B34x was designed with software compatibility in mind. It is a fully backwards- compatible solution with the older generation 765A/B disk controllers. The FDC also implements on-board registers for compatibility with the PS/2, as well as PC/AT and PC/XT, floppy disk controller subsystems. After a hardware reset of the FDC, all registers, functions and enhancements default to a PC/AT, PS/2 or PS/2 Model 30 compatible operating mode, depending on how the IDENT and MFM bits are configured by the system BIOS.
Direct Support for Two Floppy Drives
The nMTR1 function is on pin 58. nMTR1 is the second alternate function on this GPIO pin (GP36). The nMTR1 function is controllable as open drain or push pull as nMTR0 is through bit 6 of the FDD
Mode Register in CRF0 of LD 0. This overrides the selection of the output type through bit 7 of the GPIO control register. It is also controlled by bit 7 of the FDD Mode Register.
74
Pin 58 has IO12 buffer type. The nDS1 function is on pin 59. nDS1 is the second alternate function on this GPIO pin (GP37). The nDS1 function is controllable as open drain or push pull as nDS0 is through bit 6 of the FDD
Mode Register in CRF0 of LD 0. This overrides the selection of the output type through bit 7 of the GPIO control register. It is also controlled by bit 7 of the FDD Mode register.
See the Runtime Registers section for more information on these registers.
Disk Change Support for Second Floppy
Bit[1] in the Force Disk Change register supports the second floppy. Setting either of the Force Disk Change bits active forces the FDD nDSKCHG active when the appropriate drive has been selected. The Force Disk Change register is defined in the Runtime Registers section.
Force Write Protect Support for Second Floppy
Bit[0] in the Device Disable register and FDD Option register support floppy write protect. See the Runtime Registers section for Device Disable register description and the Configuration
Registers section for FDD Option register description.
75
SERIAL PORT (UART)
The LPC47B34x incorporates two full function UARTs and one 2-pin UART for MIDI support. They are compatible with the NS16450, the 16450 ACE registers and the NS16C550A. The UARTS perform serial-to-parallel conversion on received characters and parallel-to-serial conversion on transmit characters. The data rates are independently programmable from 460.8K baud down to 50 baud. The character options are programmable for 1 start; 1, 1.5 or 2 stop bits; even, odd, sticky or no parity; and prioritized interrupts. The UARTs each contain a programmable baud rate generator that is capable of dividing the input clock or crystal by a number from 1 to 65535. The UARTs are also capable of supporting the MIDI data rate. Refer to the Configuration Registers for information on disabling, power down and changing the base address of the UARTs. The interrupt from a UART is enabled by programming OUT2 of that UART to a logic "1". OUT2 being a logic "0" disables that UART's interrupt. The second UART also supports IrDA, HP-SIR, and ASK-IR infrared modes of operation.
Note: The UARTs 1 and 2 may be configured to share an interrupt. Refer to the Configuration section for more information.
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 LPC47B34x contains two serial ports, each of which contain a register set as described below.
Table 27 – Addressing the Serial Port

*Note: DLAB is Bit 7 of the Line Control Register
The following section describes the operation of the registers.
Receive Buffer Register (RB) Address Offset = 0H, DLAB = 0, READ ONLY
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
76
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.
Transmit Buffer Register (TB) Address Offset = 0H, DLAB = 0, WRITE ONLY
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.
Interrupt Enable Register (IER) Address Offset = 1H, DLAB = 0, READ/WRITE
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 LPC47B34x. 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.
Bit 0
This bit enables the Received Data Available Interrupt (and timeout interrupts in the FIFO mode) when set to logic "1".
Bit 1
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.
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.
Bits 4 through 7
These bits are always logic "0".
FIFO Control Register (FCR) Address Offset = 2H, DLAB = X, 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 UART1 and UART2 FCR’s are shadowed in the UART1 FIFO Control Shadow Register (runtime register at offset 0x20) and UART2 FIFO Control Shadow Register (runtime register at offset 0x21).
77
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.
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.
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.

Trigger Level (BYTES)
Interrupt Identification Register (IIR) Address Offset = 2H, DLAB = X, READ
By accessing this register, the host CPU can determine the highest priority interrupt and its source. Four levels of priority interrupt exist. 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) 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.
78
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 logic "1", no interrupt is pending.
Bits 1 and 2
These two bits of the IIR are used to identify the highest priority interrupt pending as indicated by the Interrupt Control Table.
Bit 3
In non-FIFO mode, this bit is a logic "0". In FIFO mode this bit is set along with bit 2 when a timeout interrupt is pending.
Bits 4 and 5
These bits of the IIR are always logic "0".
Bits 6 and 7
These two bits are set when the FIFO CONTROL Register bit 0 equals 1.

These two bits specify the number of bits in each transmitted or received serial character. The encoding of bits 0 and 1 is as follows: The Start, Stop and Parity bits are not included in the word length.

Note: The receiver will ignore all stop bits beyond the first, regardless of the number used in transmitting.
Bit 3
Parity Enable bit. When bit 3 is a logic "1", a parity bit is generated (transmit data) or checked (receive data) between the last data word bit and the first stop bit of the serial data. (The parity bit is used to generate an even or odd number of 1s when the data word bits and the parity bit are summed).
Bit 4
Even Parity Select bit. When bit 3 is a logic "1" and bit 4 is a logic "0", an odd number of logic "1"'s is transmitted or checked in the data word bits and the parity bit. When bit 3 is a logic "1" and bit 4 is a logic "1" an even number of bits is transmitted and checked.
Bit 5
Stick Parity bit. When parity is enabled it is used in conjunction with bit 4 to select Mark or Space Parity. When LCR bits 3, 4 and 5 are 1 the Parity bit is transmitted and checked as 0 (Space Parity). If bits 3 and 5 are 1 and bit 4 is 0, then the Parity bit is transmitted and checked as 1 (Mark Parity). If bit 5 is 0 Stick Parity is disabled.
STOP BITS
Bit 6
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 the Serial Port to alert a terminal in a communications system.
Bit 7
Divisor Latch Access bit (DLAB). It must be set high (logic "1") to access the Divisor Latches of the Baud Rate Generator during read or write operations. It must be set low (logic "0") to access the Receiver Buffer Register, the Transmitter Holding Register, or the Interrupt Enable Register.
Modem Control Register (MCR) Address Offset = 4H, DLAB = X, READ/WRITE
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.
81
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".
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
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.
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 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:
1. The TXD is set to the Marking State(logic "1").
2. The receiver Serial Input (RXD) is disconnected.
3. The output of the Transmitter Shift Register is "looped back" into the Receiver Shift Register input.
4. All MODEM Control inputs (nCTS, nDSR, nRI and nDCD) are disconnected.
5. The four MODEM Control outputs (nDTR, nRTS, OUT1 and OUT2) are internally connected to the four MODEM Control inputs (nDSR, nCTS, RI, DCD).
6. The Modem Control output pins are forced inactive high.
7. Data that is transmitted is immediately received.
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.
Bits 5 through 7
These bits are permanently set to logic zero.
Line Status Register (LSR) Address Offset = 5H, DLAB = X, READ/WRITE
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.
82
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 overrunn 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 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.
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 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 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 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). 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.
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.
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 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
83
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 7
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.
Modem Status Register (MSR) Address Offset = 6H, DLAB = X, READ/WRITE
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 0
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.
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.
Bit 2 Trailing Edge of Ring Indicator (TERI). Bit 2 indicates that the nRI input has changed from logic "0" to logic "1".
Bit 3
Delta Data Carrier Detect (DDCD). Bit 3 indicates that the nDCD input to the chip has changed state. Note: Whenever bit 0, 1, 2, or 3 is set to a logic "1", a MODEM Status Interrupt is generated.
Bit 4
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.
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.
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.
84
Scratchpad Register (SCR) 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.
Programmable Baud Rate Generator (AND Divisor Latches DLH, DLL)
The Serial Port contains a programmable Baud Rate Generator that is capable of dividing the PLL clock by any divisor from 1 to 65535. The internal PLL clock is divided down to generate a 1.8462MHz frequency for Baud Rates less than 38.4k, a 1.8432MHz frequency for 115.2k, a 3.6864MHz frequency for 230.4k and a 7.3728MHz frequency for 460.8k. 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 two is loaded the output is a divide by 2 signal with a 50% duty cycle. If a 3 or greater is loaded the output is low for 2 bits and high for the remainder of the count. The input clock to the BRG is a 1.8462 MHz clock.
Table 30 shows the baud rates.
Effect Of The Reset on Register File
The Reset Function Table (Table 31) details the effect of the Reset input on each of the registers of the Serial Port.
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:
(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.
(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.
(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.
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:
- At least one character is in the FIFO.
- The most recent serial character received was longer than 4 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 4 continuous character times ago.
- This will cause a maximum character received to interrupt issued delay of 160 msec at 300 BAUD with a 12 bit character.
85
(b) Character times are calculated by using the RCLK input for a clock signal (this makes the
delay proportional to the baud rate).
(c) When a timeout interrupt has occurred it is cleared and the timer reset when the CPU reads
one character from the RCVR FIFO.
(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.
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.
(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. The transmitter interrupt after changing FCR0 will be immediate, if it is enabled.
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. 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:
Bit 0=1 as long as there is one byte in the RCVR FIFO. Bits 1 to 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. 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.

Notes On Serial Port Operation
FIFO Mode Operation
GENERAL
The RCVR FIFO will hold up to 16 bytes regardless of which trigger level is selected.
TX AND RX FIFO Operation
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.
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 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.
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 interrupt trigger level. At that time if Rx 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.
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 higher baud rate capability (256 kbaud).
90
Ring Wake Filter
An optional filter is provided to prevent glitches to the wakeup circuitry and prevent unnecessary wakeup of the system when a phone is picked up or hung up. If enabled, this filter will be placed into the SMI and PME/SCI wakeup event path of either of the UART ring indicator pins (nRI1, nRI2), or the nRING pin.
This feature is enabled onto the nRING pin or one of the ring indicator pins (nRI1, nRI2) via the Ring Filter Select Register defined below. If enabled, a frequency detection filter is placed in the path to the SMI and PME interface that generates an active low pulse for the duration of a signal that produces 3 edges in a 200msec time period i.e., detects a pulse train of frequency 15Hz to 69Hz.
This filter circuit runs off of the 32 kHz clock (from the external 32kHz clock source or derived from the 14MHz clock signal). See the “32.768 kHz Trickle Clock Input” section. This circuit is powered by the VTR power supply. When this circuit is disabled, it will draw no current.
The nRING function is set through Ring status on PME_STS1 and SMI_STS1 registers and enable bits on PME_EN1 and SMI_EN1 registers. See the Runtime Registers section for a description of these registers.
The ring wakeup filter will produce an active low pulse for the period of time that nRING, nRI1 and/or nRI2 is toggling. See figure below.

INFRARED INTERFACE
IR
Bit 6
The infrared interface provides a two-way wireless communications port using infrared as a transmission medium. Several 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 TXD2 and RXD2 pins or optional IRTX2 and IRRX2 pins. These can be selected through the configuration registers.
IrDA 1.0 allows serial communication at baud rates up to 115.2 kbps. Each word is sent serially beginning with a zero value start bit. A zero is signaled by sending a single IR pulse at the beginning of the serial bit time. A one 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 asynchronous serial communication at baud rates up to 19.2K Baud. Each word is sent serially beginning with a zero value start bit. A zero is signaled by sending a 500KHz waveform for the duration of the serial bit time. A one is signaled by sending no transmission during the bit time. Please refer to the AC timing for the parameters of the ASK-IR waveform.
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 time­out, 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 100usec increments.

IR Transmit Pins
The following description pertains to the IRTX (TXD2/GP53) and IRTX2 (GP35/IRTX2) pins of the LPC47B34x.
Following a VTR POR, VCC POR and hard reset, the GP53 register defaults to the TXD2 function as a push-pull output, and the GP53 data bit (bit 3 of the GP5 register) is reset. Therefore, following a VCC POR, the IRTX pin (TXD2/GP53) will be output and low. It will remain low until one of the following conditions are met:
TXD2/IRTX/GP53 Pin. This pin defaults to the TXD2 function.
1. This pin will remain low following a VCC POR until the TXD2 function is selected for the pin AND Serial Port 2 is enabled by setting the activate bit, at which time the pin will reflect the state of the IR transmit output of the IR block (if IR is enabled through the IR Options Register for Serial Port
2).
2. This pin will remain low following a VCC POR until the TXD2 function is selected for the pin AND Serial Port 2 is enabled by setting the activate bit, at which time the pin will reflect the state of the transmit output of serial port 2.
3. This pin will remain low following a VCC POR until the corresponding GPIO data bit (GP5 register bit 3) is set or the polarity bit in the GP53 control register is set.
GP35/IRTX2 Pin. This pin defaults to the GPIO Output function. This pin does not have same default condition as IRTX pin. The GP35 register defaults to a GPIO push-pull output on VTR POR and the GP35 data bit (bit 5 of the GP3 register) defaults to ‘1’ on VTR POR, VCC POR and hard reset. Therefore, this pin defaults to an active high output on VTR POR, VCC POR and Hard Reset. This pin and the GP34/IRRX2 pin are not recommended to be used for IR functionality. See the GPIO section.
PARALLEL PORT
The LPC47B34x incorporates an IBM XT/AT 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 LPC47B34x also provides a mode for support of the floppy disk controller on the parallel port. 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 on the following page.

Data Port ADDRESS OFFSET = 00H
The Data Port is located at an offset of '00H' from the base address. The data register is cleared at initialization by RESET. During a WRITE operation, the Data Register latches the contents of the internal data bus. The contents of this register are buffered (non inverting) and output onto the PD0 ­PD7 ports. During a READ operation in SPP mode, PD0 - PD7 ports are buffered (not latched) and output to the host CPU.
Status Port ADDRESS OFFSET = 01H
The Status Port is located at an offset of '01H' from the base address. The contents of this register are latched for the duration of a read cycle. The bits of the Status Port are defined as follows:
BIT 0 TMOUT - TIME OUT
This bit is valid in EPP mode only and indicates that a 10 usec time out has occurred on the EPP bus. A logic O 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 one to this bit clears the time out status bit. On a write, this bit is self clearing and does not require a write of a zero. Writing a zero to this bit has no effect.
BITS 1, 2 - are not implemented as register bits, during a read of the Printer Status Register these bits are a low level.
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.
BIT 4 SLCT - PRINTER SELECTED STATUS
The level on the SLCT input is read by the CPU as bit 4 of the Printer Status Register. A logic 1 means the printer is on line; a logic 0 means it is not selected.
BIT 5 PE - PAPER END
The level on the PE input is read by the CPU as bit 5 of the Printer Status Register. A logic 1 indicates a paper end; a logic 0 indicates the presence of paper.
95
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.
BIT 7 nBUSY - nBUSY
The complement of the level on the BUSY input is read by the CPU as bit 7 of the Printer Status Register. A logic 0 in this bit means that the printer is busy and cannot accept a new character. A logic 1 means that it is ready to accept the next character.
Control Port ADDRESS OFFSET = 02H
The Control Port is located at an offset of '02H' from the base address. The Control Register is initialized by the RESET input, bits 0 to 5 only being affected; bits 6 and 7 are hard wired low.
BIT 0 STROBE - STROBE
This bit is inverted and output onto the nSTROBE output.
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.
BIT 5 PCD - 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.
EPP Address Port 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 the internal data bus DB0-DB7 are buffered (non inverting) and output onto the PD0 - PD7 ports. An LPC I/O write cycle causes an EPP ADDRESS WRITE cycle to be performed, during which the data is latched for the
96
duration of the EPP write cycle. During a READ operation, PD0 - PD7 ports are read. An LPC I/O read cycle 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 read cycle. This register is only available in EPP mode.
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 the internal data bus DB0-DB7 are buffered (non inverting) and output onto the PD0 - PD7 ports. An LPC I/O write cycle causes an EPP DATA WRITE cycle to be performed, during which the data is latched for the duration of the EPP write cycle. During a READ operation, PD0 - PD7 ports are read. An LPC I/O read cycle 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 read cycle. This register is only available in EPP mode.
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.
EPP Data Port 2 ADDRESS OFFSET = 06H
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 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.
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 10usec have elapsed from the start of the EPP cycle to nWAIT being 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.
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.
97
The timing for a write operation (address or data), with FIFO, is shown in timing diagram EPP 1a and EPP 1b. IOCHRDY is only driven active low when the system tries to write to one of the EPP registers when the FIFO is full.
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.
EPP 1.9 Write
The timing for a write operation (address or data) is shown in timing diagram EPP Write Data or Address cycle. The chip inserts wait states into the LPC I/O write cycle until it has been determined that the write cycle can complete. The write cycle can complete under the following circumstances:
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.
Write Sequence of operation
1. The host initiates an I/O write cycle to the selected EPP register.
2. If WAIT is not asserted, the chip must wait until WAIT is asserted.
3. The chip places address or data on PData bus, clears PDIR, and asserts nWRITE.
4. Chip asserts nDATASTB or nADDRSTRB indicating that PData bus contains valid information, and the WRITE signal is valid.
5. Peripheral deasserts nWAIT, indicating that any setup requirements have been satisfied and the chip may begin the termination phase of the cycle.
6. 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.
b) The chip latches the data from the internal data bus for the PData bus and drives the sync
that indicates that no more wait states are required followed by the TAR to complete the write cycle.
7. Peripheral asserts nWAIT, indicating to the host that any hold time requirements have been satisfied and acknowledging the termination of the cycle.
8. Chip may modify nWRITE and nPDATA in preparation for the next cycle.
EPP 1.9 Read
The timing for a read operation (data) is shown in timing diagram EPP Read Data cycle. The chip inserts wait states into the LPC I/O read cycle until it has been determined that the read cycle can complete. The read cycle can complete under the following circumstances:
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.
98
Read Sequence of Operation
1. The host initiates an I/O read cycle to the selected EPP register.
2. If WAIT is not asserted, the chip must wait until WAIT is asserted.
3. The chip tri-states the PData bus and deasserts nWRITE.
4. Chip asserts nDATASTB or nADDRSTRB indicating that PData bus is tri-stated, PDIR is set and the nWRITE signal is valid.
5. Peripheral drives PData bus valid.
6. Peripheral deasserts nWAIT, indicating that PData is valid and the chip may begin the termination phase of the cycle.
7. a) The chip latches the data from the PData bus for the internal data bus and deasserts
nDATASTB or nADDRSTRB. This marks the beginning of the termination phase.
b) The chip drives the sync that indicates that no more wait states are required and drives the
valid data onto the LAD[3:0] signals, followed by the TAR to complete the read cycle.
8. Peripheral tri-states the PData bus and asserts nWAIT, indicating to the host that the PData bus is tri-stated.
9. Chip may modify nWRITE, PDIR and nPDATA in preparation for the next cycle.
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.
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 10usec have elapsed from the start of the EPP cycle to the end of the cycle. If a time-out occurs, the current EPP cycle is aborted and the time-out condition is indicated in Status bit 0.
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.
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. The chip inserts wait states into the I/O write cycle 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.
Write Sequence of Operation
1. The host sets PDIR bit in the control register to a logic "0". This asserts nWRITE.
2. The host initiates an I/O write cycle to the selected EPP register.
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, the chip inserts wait states into the I/O write cycle until the peripheral deasserts nWAIT or a time-out occurs.
6. The chip drives the final sync, deasserts nDATASTB or nADDRSTRB and latches the data from the internal data bus for the PData bus.
7. Chip may modify nWRITE, PDIR and nPDATA in preparation of the next cycle.
99
EPP 1.7 Read
The timing for a read operation (data) is shown in timing diagram EPP 1.7 Read Data cycle. The chip inserts wait states into the I/O read cycle 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.
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 initiates an I/O read cycle to the selected EPP register.
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, the chip inserts wait states into the I/O read cycle until the peripheral deasserts nWAIT or a time-out occurs.
5. The Peripheral drives PData bus valid.
6. The Peripheral deasserts nWAIT, indicating that PData is valid and the chip may begin the termination phase of the cycle.
7. The chip drives the final sync and 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.
