SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 2 Rev. 03/19/2001
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LPC47M14x* is a 3.3V (5V tolerant) PC99 compliant Super I/O controller with an LPC interface and a standalone
USB hub. It is designed to be compatible with a family of Super I/O Controllers (LPC47M13x, LPC47M14x, and
LPC47M15x). To the interested reader, the LPC47M15x offers hardware monitoring capabilities. The first one
hundred pins of all these packages are completely pin compatible and offer the designer added flexibility in their
board designs. In addition, any board designed to support the LPC47M14x will automatically offer the dual capability
of supporting the LPC47M13x, as well.
The LPC47M14x implements the LPC interface, a pin reduced ISA bus interface which provides the same or better
performance as the ISA/X-bus with a substantial savings in pins used. This interface makes use of the PCI clock,
which runs at 33MHz instead of the traditional 8MHz for the ISA bus, that eases some complications found in
synchronous designs. In addition, all legacy drivers used for Super I/O components are still supported making this
new interface transparent to the supporting software. The LPC bus also supports power management, such as
wake-up and sleep modes, in the same way as the PCI bus.
The LPC47M14X incorporates a standalone USB Hub, implementing one upstream port and up to four (4)
downstream ports, with an internal data path connection for programming the USB Vendor ID, Product ID and Device
Revision Number. The number of active downstream ports is also programmable or selectable with external jumpers.
This programming is done by BIOS accessing the hub control registers.
The LPC47M14x has incorporated the following Super I/O components: a parallel port that is compatible with IBM
PC/AT architecture, as well as the IEEE 1284 EPP and ECP; two serial ports that are 16C550A UART compatible; a
keyboard/mouse controller that uses an 8042 microcontroller; two floppy controllers, which use SMSC's true CMOS
765B core; two infrared ports that are IrDA 1.0 compliant; a MIDI interface, which is a MPU-401-compatible; and 37
General Purpose I/O control functions, which offer flexibility to the system designer. The true CMOS 765B core
provides 100% compatibility with IBM PC/XT and PC/AT architectures and is software and register compatible with
the 82077AA. This chip also controls two LED’s, a dual game port interface, and the speed of two fans with fan
tachometer inputs through the use of a pulse width modulation scheme.
The LPC47M14x is ACPI 1.0 compatible and therefore supports multiple low power-down modes. It incorporates
sophisticated power control circuitry (PCC) which includes support for keyboard and mouse wake-up events.
The LPC47M14X supports the ISA Plug-and-Play Standard (Version 1.0a). The I/O Address, DMA Channel and
hardware IRQ of each logical device in the LPC47M14X may be reprogrammed through the internal configuration
registers. There are 480 (960 for Parallel Port) I/O address location options, a Serialized IRQ interface, and four
DMA channels. On chip, Interrupt Generating Registers enable external software to generate IRQ1 through IRQ15 on
the Serial IRQ Interface.
The LPC47M14X does not require any external filter components and is therefore easy to use and offers lower
system costs and reduced board area.
* The “x” in the part number is a designator that changes depending upon the particular BIOS used inside the specific
chip.

Note: The chip is part of a family of LPC chips (LPC47M13x, LPC47M14x, and LPC47M15x). The first 100 pins of
these chips are pin compatible, which adds more flexibility for the board designer. In addition, a board designed for
the LPC47M14x can also support the LPC47M13x with little or no changes made to the board design.

Control
Note:The "n" as the first letter of a signal name or the “#” as the suffix of a signal name indicates an "Active Low"
signal.
Note 1: 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 2: The LPCPD# pin may be tied high. The LPC interface will function properly if the PCI_RESET# signal
follows the protocol defined for the LRESET# signal in the “Low Pin Count Interface Specification”.
Note 3: For USB Hub functionality, the 32 KHz input clock must always be connected. There is a bit in the
configuration register at 0xF0 in Logical Device A that indicates whether or not the 32KHz clock is
connected. This bit determines the clock source for the fan tachometer, LED and “wake on specific key”
logic. This bit must always be set to ‘0’ (‘0’=32 KHz clock connected; reset default=‘0’).
Note 4: The fan control pins (FAN1 and FAN2) come up as outputs and low following a VCC POR and Hard Reset.
These pins revert to their non-inverting GPIO input function when VCC is removed from the part.
Note 5: The IRTX pins (IRTX2/GP35 and GP53/TXD2 (IRTX)) are driven low when the part is powered by VTR
(VCC=0V with VTR=3.3V). These pins will remain low following a power-up (VCC POR) until serial port 2
is enabled by setting the activate bit, at which time the pin will reflect the state of the transmit output of the
Serial Port 2 block.
Note 6: The VCC power-up default for this pin is Logic “0” if the IRTX function is programmed on the GPIO.
Note 7: VTR must not be connected to VCC. The 32 KHz input clock must not be driven high whenVTR = 0v.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 13 Rev. 03/19/2001
Note 8: The GP24 /SYSOPT pin requires an external pulldown resistor to put the base IO address for configuration
at 0x02E. An external pullup resistor is required to move the base IO address for configuration to 0x04E.
Note 9: External pullups must be placed on the nKBDRST and A20M pins. These pins are GPIOs that are inputs
after an initial power-up (VTR POR). If the nKBDRST and A20M functions are to be used the system must
ensure that these pins are high. See Section “Pins That Require External Pullup Resistor”.
Note 10: The LED pins are powered by VTR so that the LEDs can be controlled when the part is under VTR power.
Note 11: The 48MHz clock input must not be driven high when VTR = 0V.
Note 12: VTR is used to power the USB cable transceivers. VTR must not be connected to VCC.
Note 13: When the specified USB Down Stream Ports are disabled via the Strp0/Strp1 bit or nStrp1/nStrp0 Pins, the
associated Over-current sense pins (nUSBOC[x]) and Power Enable (nPWREN[4:1]) pins are also
disabled. The USB Down Stream Port nUSBOC[x] input pin can be a NC (No Connect) pin for existing
designs or tied High (1). For EMI and reduced Noise sensitivity, it is recommended that the pin be tied High
(1). The Power Enable (nPWREN[x]) pin will be forced low (0).
Note 14: When a 24MHz crystal oscillator is used, these pins need off-balance capacitive loading. It is suggested to
use a 22pf capacitor on ICLK and a 10pf capacitor on OCLK.

5 POWER FUNCTIONALITY
The LPC47M14x has three power planes: VCC, VTR, and VREF.
5.1 VCC POWER
The LPC47M14x is a 3.3 Volt part. The VCC supply is 3.3 Volts (nominal). See the “Operational Description” Section
and the “Maximum Current Values” subsection.
5.1.1 3 Volt Operation / 5 Volt Tolerance
The LPC47M14x is a 3.3 Volt part. It is intended solely for 3.3V applications. All signal pins are 5V tolerant except
those that pertain to the LPC Bus and USB Hub interfaces; that is, the input voltage is 5.5V max, and the I/O buffer
output pads are backdrive protected.
The LPC interface pins are 3.3 V only. These signals meet PCI DC specifications for 3.3V signaling. These pins are:
LAD[3:0]
LFRAME#
LDRQ#
LPCPD#
The USB interface pins are 3.3V tolerant. The maximum input voltage tolerated on the downstream port pins is 3.6V
(See “Operational Description” for the IOUSB buffers). These pins are labeled:
PD+[1:4]
PD-[1:4]
The input voltage for all other pins is 5.5V max including the following pins:
The LPC47M14x requires that the USB Hub maintain power for wake-up events in the absence of VCC power. To
meet these requirements, the Hub Block and the transceiver pins are powered by VTR. CLKI32, which is also
powered by VTR, is used to monitor changes in the signaling on the USB ports. This will enable the Hub Block to
resume from a suspend state by receiving a signal on either its downstream ports or its upstream port.
5.3 VTR SUPPORT
The LPC47M14x requires a trickle supply (VTR) to provide sleep current for the programmable wake-up events in the
PME interface when V
is removed. The VTR pin is connected to the VTR (standby) power supply, which is 3.3
CC
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 “Trickle Power Functionality” subsection and “Maximum Current Values”
subsection. This voltage source is also used to power the USB Hub interface, the IR interface, the PME configuration
registers, and the PME interface. The V
pin generates a VTR Power-on-Reset signal to initialize these components.
TR
Note: If V
minimum potential at least 10 µs before V
is to be used for programmable wake-up events when VCC is removed, VTR must be at its full
TR
begins a power-on cycle. When VTR and Vcc are fully
cc
powered, the potential difference between the two supplies must not exceed 500mV.
5.4 VREF PIN
The LPC47M14x has a reference voltage pin input on pin 44 of the part. This reference voltage can be connected to
either a 5V supply or a 3.3V supply. It is used for the game port. See the “GAME PORT LOGIC” section.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 17 Rev. 03/19/2001
5.5 INTERNAL PWRGOOD
An internal PWRGOOD logical control is included to minimize the effects of pin-state uncertainty in the host interface
cycles on and off. When the internal PWRGOOD signal is “1” (active), Vcc > 2.3V (nominal), and the
as V
cc
LPC47M14x host interface is active. When the internal PWRGOOD signal is “0” (inactive), V
≤ 2.3V (nominal), and
cc
the LPC47M14x host interface is inactive; that is, LPC bus reads and writes will not be decoded.
The LPC47M14x device pins nIO_PME, CLOCKI32, KDAT, MDAT, IRRX, nRI1, nRI2, RXD2, USB+, USB-, PD[4:1]+,
PD[4:1]- and most GPIOs (as input) are part of the PME interface and remain active when the internal PWRGOOD
signal has gone inactive, since V
must always be powered. The IRTX2/GP35, GP53/TXD2(IRTX), GP60/LED1 and
TR
GP61/LED2 pins also remain active when the internal PWRGOOD signal has gone inactive. See “Trickle Power
Functionality” section. The internal PWRGOOD signal is also used to disable the IR Half Duplex Timeout.
5.6 32.768 KHZ TRICKLE CLOCK INPUT
The LPC47M14x utilizes a 32.768 kHz trickle input to supply a clock signal for the fan tachometer logic, LED blink,
wake on specific key function, and to the USB Hub to support suspend and resume signaling.
5.7 TRICKLE POWER FUNCTIONALITY
When the LPC47M14x is running under VTR only (VCC removed), 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
“Wake on Specific Key” Logic
Fan Tachometers (Note)
GPIOs for wakeup. See below.
Event on USB Downstream/Upstream ports
Note: The Fan Tachometers can generate a PME when VCC=0. Clear the enable bits for the fan tachometers before removing fan power.
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 pins 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 as input are GP10-GP17, GP20-GP22, GP24-GP27, GP30-GP33, GP41,
GP43, GP50-GP57, GP60, and GP61. These GPIOs function as follows (with the exception of GP53, GP60 and
GP61 - 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 as 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 as a GPIO (or alternate function). Note that GP32 and GP33 cannot be
used for wakeup under VTR power (VCC=0) since these are the fan control pins which come up as outputs and low
following a VCC POR and Hard Reset. GP53 cannot be used for wakeup under VTR power since this is the IRTX pin
which comes up as output and low following a VTR POR, a VCC POR and Hard Reset. Also, GP32 and GP33 revert
to their non-inverting GPIO input function when VCC is removed from the part. GP43 reverts to the basic GPIO
function when VCC is removed from the part, but its programmed input/output, invert/non-invert and output buffer
type is retained.
The other GPIOs function as follows:
GP36, GP37 and GP40:
Buffers are powered by VCC. In the absence of VCC they are backdrive protected. These pins do not have input
buffers into the wakeup logic that are powered by VTR, and are not used for wakeup.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 18 Rev. 03/19/2001
GP35, GP42, GP53, GP60 and GP61:
Buffers powered by VTR. GP35 and GP53 have IRTX as the alternate function and their output buffers are
powered by VTR so that the pins are always forced low when not used. GP42 is the nIO_PME pin, which is
active under VTR. GP60 and GP61 have LED as the alternate function and the logic is able to control the pin
under VTR.
The IRTX pins (IRTX2/GP35 and GP53/TXD2(IRTX)) are powered by VTR so that they are driven low when VCC =
0V with VTR = 3.3V. These pins will remain low following a VCC POR until serial port 2 is enabled by setting the
activate bit, at which time the pin will reflect the state of the transmit output of the Serial Port 2 block.

5.8 MAXIMUM CURRENT VALUES
See the “Operational Description” section for the maximum current values.
The maximum VTR current, ITR, is given with all outputs open (not loaded), and all inputs in a fixed state (i.e., 0V or
3.3V). The total maximum current for the part is the unloaded value PLUS the maximum current sourced by all pins
that are driven by VTR. The pins that are powered by VTR are as follows: GP42/nIO_PME, IRTX2/GP35,
GP53/TXD2(IRTX), GP60/LED1, GP61/LED2, and CLKI32. These pins, if configured as push-pull outputs, will
source a minimum of 6mA at 2.4V when driving.
The maximum VCC current, ICC, is given with all outputs open (not loaded) , and all inputs in a fixed state
(i.e., 0V or 3.3V).

(i.e., 0V or 3.3V).
5.9 POWER MANAGEMENT EVENTS (PME/SCI)
The LPC47M14x offers support for Power Management Events (PMEs), also referred to as System Control Interrupt
(SCI) events. The terms PME and SCI are used synonymously throughout this document to refer to the indication of
an event to the chipset via the assertion of the nIO_PME output signal on pin 17. See the “PME Support” section.

6.3 LPC INTERFACE
The following sub-sections specify the implementation of the LPC bus.
6.3.1 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
LAD[3:0] I/O LPC address/data bus. Multiplexed command, address and data bus.
LFRAME# Input Frame signal. Indicates start of new cycle and termination of broken cycle
PCI_RESET# Input PCI Reset. Used as LPC Interface Reset.
LDRQ# Output Encoded DMA/Bus Master request for the LPC interface.
nIO_PME OD Power Mgt Event signal. Allows the LPC47M14x to request wakeup.
LPCPD# Input
SER_IRQ I/O Serial IRQ.
PCI_CLK Input PCI Clock.
Note: The CLKRUN# signal is not implemented in this part.
6.3.2 LPC Cycles
The following cycle types are supported by the LPC protocol.
The LPC47M14x ignores cycles that it does not support.
6.3.3 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 LPC47M14x. See the “Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface Specification”, Revision
1.0, Section 4.2 for definition of these fields.
6.3.4 LFRAME# Usage
LFRAME# 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 LPC47M14x 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 LPC47M14x monitors the bus to determine whether the cycle is intended for it. The use of
LFRAME# allows the LPC47M14x to enter a lower power state internally. There is no need for the LPC47M14x 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 LPC47M14x samples LFRAME# active, it immediately stops driving the LAD[3:0] signal lines on the next
clock and monitor the bus for new cycle information.
The LFRAME# signal functions as described in the Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface Specification, Revision 1.0.
TYPE DESCRIPTION
Powerdown Signal. Indicates that the LPC47M14x should prepare for power to be shut
on the LPC interface.
CYCLE TYPE TRANSFER SIZE
I/O Write 1 Byte
I/O Read 1 Byte
DMA Write 1 byte
DMA Read 1 byte
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 21 Rev. 03/19/2001
6.3.5 I/O Read and Write Cycles
The LPC47M14x 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” Revision 1.0, Section 5.2, for the sequence of cycles for the
I/O Read and Write cycles.
6.3.6 DMA Read and Write Cycles
DMA read cycles involve the transfer of data from the host (main memory) to the LPC47M14x. DMA write cycles
involve the transfer of data from the LPC47M14x 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 LPC47B10x are 1, 2 or 4 bytes.
See the “Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface Specification” Revision 1.0, Section 6.4, for the field definitions and the
sequence of the DMA Read and Write cycles.
6.3.7 DMA Protocol
DMA on the LPC bus is handled through the use of the LDRQ# lines from the LPC47M14x 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,” Revision
1.0.
6.3.8 Power Management
CLOCKRUN Protocol
The CLKRUN# pin is not implemented in the LPC47M14x.
See the “Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface Specification” Revision 1.0, Section 8.1.
LPCPD Protocol
See the “Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface Specification” Revision 1.0, Section 8.2.
6.3.9 SYNC Protocol
See the “Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface Specification” Revision 1.0, 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 LPC47M14x immediately drives the SYNC pattern
upon recognizing the cycle. The host immediately drives the sync pattern for write cycles. If the LPC47M14x 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 LPC47M14x 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 LPC47M14x 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 LPC47M14x uses a
SYNC of 0110 for all wait states in an I/O transfer.
The SYNC value is driven within 3 clocks.
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 LPC47M14x 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.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 22 Rev. 03/19/2001
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 LPC47M14x has protection
mechanisms to complete the cycle. This is used for EPP data transfers and should utilize the same timeout
protection that is in EPP.
SYNC Error Indication
The LPC47M14x reports errors via the LAD[3:0] = 1010 SYNC encoding.
If the host was reading data from the LPC47M14x, data will still be transferred in the next two nibbles. This data may
be invalid, but it will be transferred by the LPC47M14x. If the host was writing data to the LPC47M14x, 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:
When PCI_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.
When PCI_RESET# goes active (low):
The host drives the LFRAME# signal high, tristates the LAD[3:0] signals, and ignores the LDRQ# signal.
The LPC47M14x must ignore LFRAME#, tristate the LAD[3:0] pins and drive the LDRQ# signal inactive (high).
6.3.10 LPC Transfer
Wait State Requirements
I/O Transfers
The LPC47M14x 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 normally be deasserted in an ISA transfer (i.e., EPP or IrCC 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 LPC47M14x 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 the LPC cycles in the “Timing Diagrams” section.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 23 Rev. 03/19/2001
6.4 USB HUB FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The USB Hub Block implements one upstream port and up to four downstream ports. The internal
address/data/control connection is provided for programming by BIOS the USB Vendor ID, Product ID, Device
Revision Number and number of down stream ports by accessing the Hub Control register. USB cable data is not
transmitted or received via the internal connection.
The USB Hub Block implements the requirements defined in the USB Hub Device Class Specification Version 1.1
(USB Specification 1.1, Chapter 11), including Status Change Endpoint, Hub class specific descriptors and Hub class
specific requests. The USB Hub Block supports Suspend and Resume both as a USB device and in terms of
propagating Suspend and Resume signaling. It also supports remote wakeup by a device on downstream ports.
For wakeup requirements, the Hub Block is powered from VTR. VTR also powers the 24MHz OSC/PLL, 32 KHz clock
input buffer, 48MHz CLK/OSC MUX and all Logical Device and Global Configuration Registers as well as
programmable wakeup events in the PME interface.
The Hub Block clock requirements are derived from separate CLK/OSC pins (ICLK, OCLK). Clock pins ICLK and
OCLK provide implementation flexibility for the system designer (see FIGURE 2). When a 48MHz clock signal is
available, it may be connected directly to the ICLK pin. To reduce overall system EMI, a local 24MHz oscillator may
alternately be connected between the ICLK and OCLK pins. The OSC_CLK control bit in the Logical Device C
Configuration Register at 0xF0, selects between clock sources. The 32 KHz clock source is used to time certain port
change events. This will ensure the USB Hub will respond to port change events while the hub is in Suspend.

FIGURE 2 – LPC47M14X CLOCK GENERATOR
For power conservation the USB Hub Block turns off internal hub clocks during Suspend, as follows:
The Hub Block responds to two types of Suspend. Selective (or Port) Suspend and Global Suspend.
Segments of the bus can be selectively suspended by sending the command SetPortFeature
(PORT_SUSPEND) to the hub port to which that segment is attached. The suspended port will block activity
to the suspended bus segment. Because other ports on the hub remain active, internal clocks are not turned
off.
Global Suspend is used when no communication is desired anywhere on the bus and the entire bus is
placed in the Suspend state. The host signals the start of global suspend by ceasing all its transmissions
(including the SOF token). As the hub block, and each device on the bus, recognizes that the bus is in the
idle state for the appropriate length of time, it goes into the Suspend state. Because all bus segments
attached to the hub are in the Suspend state, the hub will turn off the internal 24MHz driven PLL. In addition,
48MHz is stopped in the Hub Block. The 48MHz clock signal at the ICLK pin, if enabled, is not stopped.
Control logic external to the LPC47M14X should stop this clock, if desired.
The Hub Block will Resume from a Suspend state by receiving any non-idle signaling by a remote wakeup
enabled device on its downstream ports or Resume signaling on its upstream port. If the Hub has been
enabled as a remote wakeup source, it will also Resume from connects and disconnects on downstream

ports. The internal 24MHz driven PLL (and the 48MHz in the Hub Block) will be started to complete the
Resume.
6.4.1 USB Downstream Port Selection
The LPC47M14x USB Hub has the ability to program, via BIOS, control register access or through external PIN
strapping options, the number of Down Stream Ports that are available to the User. There is also a “Pin Strapping”
option that will allow the board designer the ability to define the number of down stream ports that will be active via
during USB_PWR POR.
The LPC47M120 USB Hub block will make the following changes to its external signals and device class response
parameters:
1) All related input and output signals such as the associated Over-current sense pins (nUSBOC[x]) and Power
Enable (nPWREN[x]) pin are also disabled.
2) The USB Down Stream Port nUSBOC[x] input pin can be a NC (No Connect) pin or tied High (1). For EMI and
reduced Noise sensitivity, it is recommended that the pin be tied High (1).
3) The Power Enable (nPWREN[x]) pin will be forced low (0). For EMI and reduced Noise sensitivity, it is
recommended that the pin be tied High (1).
4) The associated PDx+ and PDx- pins will not be active can be a NC (No Connect) pin). For EMI and reduced
Noise sensitivity, it is recommended that the pin be tied High (1).
5) All Hub Device Class return descriptor must respond with the appropriate information relating to the number of
ports that are currently selected by the Strap Pins or control bits in the register described in Table 76 –

6.5 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.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 26 Rev. 03/19/2001
6.5.1 FDC Internal Registers
The Floppy Disk Controller contains eight internal registers, which facilitate the interfacing between the host
microprocessor and the disk drive. Table 3 shows the addresses required to access these registers. Registers other
than the ones shown are not supported. The rest of the description assumes that the primary addresses have been

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 0 and 1 DATA RATE SELECT
These bits control the data rate of the floppy controller. See Table 9 for the settings corresponding to the individual data

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 8
shows the precompensation values for the combination of these bits settings. Track 0 is the default starting track

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.

These bits are set to 1s when a drive is in the seek portion of a command, including implied and overlapped seeks and

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-DMAReserved, read ‘0’. This part does not support non-DMA mode.
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 12 gives several examples of the delays with a FIFO.
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.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 34 Rev. 03/19/2001
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 PCI_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 PCI_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.
PCI_RESET# Pin (Hardware Reset)
The PCI_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
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
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
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 0-CRF0-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
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 39 Rev. 03/19/2001
command phase is complete. (Please refer to Table 17 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 mode as indicated in
the Specify command.
After a reset, the FIFO is disabled. Each data byte is transferred by a 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.
Non-DMA Mode - Transfers from the FIFO to the Host
This part does not support non-DMA mode.
Non-DMA Mode - Transfers from the Host to the FIFO
This part does not support non-DMA mode.
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 pin and implicitly through the underrun/overrun and end-oftrack (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 mid-sector, and the FDC
will continue to complete the sector as if a 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.
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.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 40 Rev. 03/19/2001
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 17 for explanations of the various symbols used. Table 18 lists the
required parameters and the results associated with each command that the FDC is capable of performing.

0 0 Drive 0
0 1 Drive 1
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.
When this bit is "1" the "DTL" parameter of the Verify command
becomes SC (number of sectors per track).
This active low bit when a 0, enables the FIFO. A "1" disables the
FIFO (default).
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.
The Gap 3 size. (Gap 3 is the space between sectors excluding the
VCO synchronization field).

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

SYMBOL NAME DESCRIPTION
MT
Multi-Track
Selector
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 "Nth" 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.

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).
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 49 Rev. 03/19/2001
6.5.4 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 19 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.

16 Kbytes
The amount of data, which can be handled with a single command to the FDC, depends upon MT (multi-track) and N
(number of bytes/sector).
The Multi-Track function (MT) allows the FDC to read data from both sides of the diskette. For a particular cylinder, data
will be transferred starting at Sector 1, Side 0 and completing the last sector of the same track at Side 1.
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 20.
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 21 describes the effect of the SK bit on the Read Data command execution and results.
Except where noted in Table 21, the C or R value of the sector address is automatically incremented (see Table 23).

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 INDEX 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:

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.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 52 Rev. 03/19/2001
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 23 and Table 24 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".

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 25 contains typical values for gap fields that 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 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.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 55 Rev. 05/02/2000
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.
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
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.

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.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 56 Rev. 05/02/2000
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 27. The values are the same for MFM and FM.
A DMA operation is selected by the ND bit. When ND is "0", the DMA mode is selected. This part does not support non-
DMA mode. In DMA mode, data transfers are signaled by the DMA request cycles.
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.

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.
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 28 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.
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 precompensation 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". D0-D3 are
unaffected and retain their previous value.
2) "Hardware" resets will clear all bits (GAP, WGATE and D0-D3) to "0", i.e. all 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 PCI_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.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 59 Rev. 05/02/2000
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.
COMPATIBILITY
The LPC47M14x 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.
6.6 SERIAL PORT (UART)
The LPC47M14x incorporates two full function UARTs. 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-toserial 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 UARTs interrupt. The second UART also supports IrDA, HP-SIR and ASK-IR 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 LPC47M14x contains two serial ports, each of which contain a
register set as described below.

SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 60 Rev. 05/02/2000
The following section describes the operation of the registers.
This register holds the received incoming data byte. Bit 0 is the least significant bit, which is transmitted and received
first. Received data is double buffered; this uses an additional shift register to receive the serial data stream and convert
it to a parallel 8 bit word which is transferred to the Receive Buffer register. The shift register is not accessible.
This 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.
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 LPC47M14x. 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.
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).
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.

Bit 4,5
Reserved
Bit 6,7
These bits are used to set the trigger level for the RCVR FIFO interrupt.
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.
Bit 0
This bit can be used in either a hardwired prioritized or polled environment to indicate whether an interrupt is pending.
When bit 0 is a logic "0", an interrupt is pending and the contents of the IIR may be used as a pointer to the appropriate
internal service routine. When bit 0 is a logic "1", no interrupt is pending.
Bits 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.

1 5 bits 1.5
1 6 bits 2
1 7 bits 2
1 8 bits 2
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
This bit is the 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 a 0 (Space Parity). If bits 3 and 5 are 1 and
bit 4 is a 0, then the Parity bit is transmitted and checked as 1 (Mark Parity). If bit 5 is 0 Stick Parity is disabled.
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.
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.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 64 Rev. 03/19/2001
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.
Bit 1
Overrun Error (OE). Bit 1 indicates that data in the Receiver Buffer Register was not read before the next character was
transferred into the register, thereby destroying the previous character. In FIFO mode, an overrun error will occur only
when the FIFO is full and the next character has been completely received in the shift register, the character in the shift
register is 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
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 65 Rev. 03/19/2001
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 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.
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.
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 internal 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
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 66 Rev. 03/19/2001
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 31 shows the baud rates possible.
Effect Of The Reset on Register File
The Reset Function (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:
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.
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.
The receiver line status interrupt (IIR=06H), has higher priority than the received data available (IIR=04H)
interrupt.
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:
1) 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.
Character times are calculated by using the RCLK input for a clock signal (this makes the delay proportional
to the baudrate).
When a timeout interrupt has occurred it is cleared and the timer reset when the CPU reads one character
from the RCVR FIFO.
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:
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.
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.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 67 Rev. 03/19/2001
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 UARTs 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).

6.7 INFRARED INTERFACE
The infrared interface provides a two-way wireless communications port using infrared as a transmission medium. Two
IR implementations have been provided for the second UART in this chip (logical device 5), IrDA and Amplitude Shift
Keyed IR. The IR transmission can use the standard UART2 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 time-out, the timer is restarted after the new character is received. The IR half duplex time-out is
programmable via CRF2 in Logical Device 5. This register allows the time-out to be programmed to any value between 0
and 10msec in 100usec increments.
IR Transmit Pins
The following description pertains to the IRTX and IRTX2 pins of the LPC47M14x.
Following a VTR POR, the IRTX and IRTX2 pins will be output and low. They will remain low until one of the
following conditions are met:IRTX2/GP35 Pin. This pin defaults to the IRTX2 function.
1) This pin will remain low following a VCC POR until serial port 2 is enabled by setting the activate bit, at which
time the pin will reflect the state of the transmit output of the Serial Port 2 block.
2) This pin will remain low following a VCC POR until the GPIO output function is selected for the pin, at which
time the pin will reflect the state of the GPIO data bit if it is configured as an output.
GP53/TXD2(IRTX) Pin. This pin defaults to the GPIO output function.
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.
Following a VCC POR, setting the TXD2_MODE bit (bit 5 in Serial Port 2 Mode Register, 0xF0 in Logical Device
5 Configuration Registers) to ‘1’ will change the state of the TXD2 pin from low to tristate, regardless of the
function selected on the pin (GPIO of TXD2), regardless of the state of the activate bit for serial port 2 and
regardless of the state of VCC. When VCC is removed from the part while the TXD2_MODE bit is set to ‘1’, the
TXD2 pin will remain tristate unless a VTR POR occurs, which will reset the TXD2_MODE bit.
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.
The TXD2_MODE bit is implemented for modems that do not assert the ring indicator pin when TXD2 is sensed low.
If required, this bit should be used as follows:
When the activate bit for serial port 2 is cleared prior to entering a sleep state, set the TXD2_MODE bit.
When the activate bit for serial port 2 is set, upon exiting a sleep state clear the TXD2_MODE bit.
The IRTX2 pin is not affected by the TXD2_MODE bit.

6.8 MPU-401 MIDI UART
R
6.8.1 Overview
Serial Port 3 is used exclusively in the LPC47M14x as an MPU-401-compatible MIDI Interface. The LPC47M14x
MPU-401 hardware includes a Host Interface, an MPU-401 command controller, configuration registers, and a
compatible UART (FIGURE 3).
Each of these components are discussed in detail, below.
Only the MPU-401 UART (pass-through) mode is included in this implementation. MPU-401 UART mode is
supported on the Sound Blaster 16 Series-compatible MIDI hardware. The Sound Blaster 16 hardware is supported
by Microsoft Windows Operating Systems.
In MPU-401 UART mode, data is transferred without modification between the host and the MIDI device (UART).
Once UART mode is entered using the UART MODE command (3Fh), the only MPU-401 command that the interface
recognizes is RESET (FFh).

6.8.2 Host Interface
Overview
The Host Interface includes two contiguous 8-bit run-time registers (the Status/Command Port and the Data Port),
and an interrupt. For illustration purposes, the Host Interface block shown in FIGURE 3 uses standard ISA signaling.
Address decoding and interrupt selection for the Host Interface are determined by device configuration registers (see
Section “MPU-401Configuration Registers”).
I/O Addresses
The Sound Blaster 16 MPU-401 UART mode MIDI interface requires two consecutive I/O addresses with possible
base I/O addresses of 300h and 330h. The default is 330h. The LPC47M14x MPU-401 I/O base address is
programmable on even-byte boundaries throughout the entire I/O address range (see Section “Activate and I/O Base
address”).

6.8.3 MIDI Data Port
The MIDI Data port exchanges MIDI transmit and MIDI receive data between the MPU-401 UART interface and the
host. The MIDI Data port is read/write (Table 35). The MIDI Data port is also used to return the command
acknowledge byte ‘FEh’ following host writes to the COMMAND port.
The MIDI Data port is full-duplex; i.e., the transmit and receive buffers can be used simultaneously.
An interrupt is generated when either MIDI receive data or a command acknowledge is available to the host in the
MIDI Data register. See Section “Bit 7 – MIDI Receive Buffer Empty” and “Interrupt”

Interrupt
The MPU-401 IRQ is asserted (‘1’) when either MIDI receive data or a command acknowledge byte is available tot he

Note: If, following a host read, data is still available in the 16C550A Receive FIFO, the IRQ will remain asserted (‘1’).
The IRQ is enabled when the ‘Activate’ bit in the MPU-401 configuration registers logical device block is asserted ‘1’.
If the Activate bit is deasserted ‘0’, the MPU-401 IRQ cannot be asserted (see Section “MPU-401 Configuration

The MPU-401 IRQ is not affected by MIDI write data, 16C550A transmit-related functions or Receiver Line Status
interrupts.
The factory default Sound Blaster 16 MPU-401 IRQ is 5.

6.8.5 MPU-401 Command Controller
Overview
Commands are written by the host to the MPU-401 MIDI Interface through the Command register (Table 34) and are
immediately interpreted by the MPU-401 Command Controller shown in FIGURE 3. The MPU-401 Command
Controller in this implementation only responds to the MPU-401 RESET (FFh) and UART MODE (3Fh) commands.
All other commands are ignored.
Under certain conditions, the Command Controller acknowledges MPU-401 commands with a command
acknowledge byte (FEh).
RESET Command
The RESET command is FFh. The RESET command resets the MPU-401 MIDI Interface. Reset disables the MPU401 UART MODE command, disables the 16C550A UART, clears the receive FIFO. The command controller places
the command acknowledge byte ‘FEh’ in the MIDI Data port read buffer if the interface is not in the UART mode.
The RESET command is executed but not acknowledged when the command is received while the interface is in the
UART mode.
When the MPU-401 is reset, receive data from the MIDI_IN port as well as data written by the host to the MIDI Data
port is ignored.
The MPU-401 MIDI Interface is reset following the RESET command or POR.
UART MODE Command
The UART MODE command is 3Fh. The UART MODE command clears the 16C550A transmit and receive FIFOs,
places the command acknowledge byte (FEh) in the MIDI Data port receive buffer, and enables the 16C550A UART
for transmit and receive operations.
In UART mode, the MPU-401 Interface passes MIDI read and write data directly between the host (using the MIDI
Data port) and the 16C550A UART Transmit and Receive buffers.
The MPU-401 Command Controller ignores the UART MODE command when the MPU-401 Interface is already in
UART mode.
The MPU-401 RESET command is executed but not acknowledged by the MPU-401 Command Controller in UART
MODE (see Section “RESET Command”, above).
Command Acknowledge Byte
Under certain conditions, the command controller acknowledges the RESET and UART MODE commands with a
command acknowledge byte (FEh).
The command acknowledge byte appears as read-data in the MIDI Data port.
Note: The command acknowledge byte will appear as the next available data byte in the receive buffer of the MIDI
Data port. For example if the receive FIFO is not empty when an MPU-401 RESET command is received, the
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 76 Rev. 03/19/2001
command acknowledge will appear first, before any unread FIFO data. In the examples above, the receive FIFO is
cleared before the command acknowledge byte is placed in the MIDI Data port read buffer.
6.8.6 MIDI UART
Overview
The UART is used to transmit and receive MIDI protocol data from the MIDI Data port in the Host Interface (see
Section “Host Interface”).
The MIDI protocol requires 31.25k Baud (±1%) and 10 bits total per frame: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1
stop bit. For example, there are 320 microseconds per serial MIDI data byte. MIDI data is transferred LSB first
(Figure 7).
The UART is configured in full-duplex mode for the MPU-401 MIDI Interface, with 16-byte send/receive FIFOs.

6.8.7 MPU-401 Configuration Registers
The LPC47M14x configuration registers are in Logical Device B (see “Configuration” section). The configuration
registers contain the MPU-401 Activate, Base Address and Interrupt select. The defaults for the Base Address and
Interrupt Select configuration registers match the MPU-401 factory defaults.
Activate and I/O Base Address
When the Activate bit D0 is ‘0’, the MPU-401 I/O base address decoder is disabled, the IRQ is always deasserted,
and the MPU-401 hardware is in a minimum power-consumption state. When the Activate bit is ‘1’, the MPU-401 I/O
base address decoder and the IRQ are enabled, and the MPU-401 hardware is fully powered.
Register 0x60 is the MPU-401 I/O Base Address High Byte, register 0x61 is the MPU-401 I/O Base Address Low
Byte. The MPU-401 I/O base address is programmable on even-byte boundaries. The valid MPU-401 I/O base
address range is 0x0100 – 0x0FFE. See Section “Host Interface”.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 77 Rev. 03/19/2001
6.9 PARALLEL PORT
The LPC47M14x 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 parallel port also incorporates SMSC's ChiProtect circuitry, which prevents possible damage to the parallel port due
to printer power-up.
The functionality of the Parallel Port is achieved through the use of eight addressable ports, with their associated
registers and control gating. The control and data port are read/write by the CPU, the status port is read/write in the EPP
mode. The address map of the Parallel Port is shown below:
DATA PORT BASE ADDRESS + 00H
STATUS PORT BASE ADDRESS + 01H
CONTROL PORT BASE ADDRESS + 02H

6.9.1 IBM XT/AT Compatible, Bi-Directional and EPP Modes
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. If the TIMEOUT_SELECT bit (bit 4 of the Parallel Port Mode Register 2, 0xF1 in Logical Device 3 Configuration
Registers) is ‘0’, writing a one to this bit clears the TMOUT status bit. Writing a zero to this bit has no effect. If the
TIMEOUT_SELECT bit (bit 4 of the Parallel Port Mode Register 2, 0xF1 in Logical Device 3 Configuration Registers) is
‘1’, the TMOUT bit is cleared on the trailing edge of a read of the EPP Status Register.
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.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 79 Rev. 03/19/2001
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.
BIT 6 nACK - ACKNOWLEDGE
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 - INITIATE 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 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.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 80 Rev. 03/19/2001
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.
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.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 81 Rev. 03/19/2001
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 nWRITE or before nDATASTB goes active. The read can complete once nWAIT is determined
inactive.
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 bidirectional 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 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.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 82 Rev. 03/19/2001
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.

ECP IMPLEMENTATION STANDARD
This specification describes the standard interface to the Extended Capabilities Port (ECP). All LPC devices supporting
ECP must meet the requirements contained in this section or the port will not be supported by Microsoft. For a
description of the ECP Protocol, please refer to the IEEE 1284 Extended Capabilities Port Protocol and ISA Interface
Standard, Rev. 1.14, July 14, 1993. This document is available from Microsoft.
Description
The port is software and hardware compatible with existing parallel ports so that it may be used as a standard LPT port if
ECP is not required. The port is designed to be simple and requires a small number of gates to implement. It does not
do any "protocol" negotiation, rather it provides an automatic high burst-bandwidth channel that supports DMA for ECP
in both the forward and reverse directions.
Small FIFOs are employed in both forward and reverse directions to smooth data flow and improve the maximum
bandwidth requirement. The size of the FIFO is 16 bytes deep. The port supports an automatic handshake for the
standard parallel port to improve compatibility mode transfer speed.
The port also supports run length encoded (RLE) decompression (required) in hardware. Compression is
accomplished by counting identical bytes and transmitting an RLE byte that indicates how many times the next byte is
to be repeated. Decompression simply intercepts the RLE byte and repeats the following byte the specified number of
times. Hardware support for compression is optional.
Table 42 – ECP Pin Descriptions
NAME TYPE DESCRIPTION
nStrobe O During write operations nStrobe registers data or address into the slave on
the asserting edge (handshakes with Busy).
PData 7:0 I/O Contains address or data or RLE data.
nAck I Indicates valid data driven by the peripheral when asserted. This signal
handshakes with nAutoFd in reverse.
PeriphAck (Busy) I This signal deasserts to indicate that the peripheral can accept data. This
signal handshakes with nStrobe in the forward direction. In the reverse
direction this signal indicates whether the data lines contain ECP
command information or data. The peripheral uses this signal to flow
control in the forward direction. It is an "interlocked" handshake with
nStrobe. PeriphAck also provides command information in the reverse
direction.
PError
(nAckReverse)
I Used to acknowledge a change in the direction the transfer (asserted =
forward). The peripheral drives this signal low to acknowledge
nReverseRequest. It is an "interlocked" handshake with nReverseRequest.
The host relies upon nAckReverse to determine when it is permitted to
drive the data bus.
Select I Indicates printer on line.
nAutoFd
(HostAck)
O Requests a byte of data from the peripheral when asserted, handshaking
with nAck in the reverse direction. In the forward direction this signal
indicates whether the data lines contain ECP address or data. The host
drives this signal to flow control in the reverse direction. It is an
"interlocked" handshake with nAck. HostAck also provides command
information in the forward phase.
nFault
(nPeriphRequest)
I Generates an error interrupt when asserted. This signal provides a
mechanism for peer-to-peer communication. This signal is valid only in the
forward direction. During ECP Mode the peripheral is permitted (but not
required) to drive this pin low to request a reverse transfer. The request is
merely a "hint" to the host; the host has ultimate control over the transfer
direction. This signal would be typically used to generate an interrupt to
the host CPU.
nInit O Sets the transfer direction (asserted = reverse, deasserted = forward).
This pin is driven low to place the channel in the reverse direction. The
peripheral is only allowed to drive the bi-directional data bus while in ECP
Mode and HostAck is low and nSelectIn is high.
nSelectIn O Always deasserted in ECP mode.

Register Definitions
The register definitions are based on the standard IBM addresses for LPT. All of the standard printer ports are
supported. The additional registers attach to an upper bit decode of the standard LPT port definition to avoid conflict
with standard ISA devices. The port is equivalent to a generic parallel port interface and may be operated in that mode.
The port registers vary depending on the mode field in the ecr. The table below lists these dependencies. Operation of
the devices in modes other that those specified is undefined.

DATA and ECPAFIFO PORT
ADDRESS OFFSET = 00H
Modes 000 and 001 (Data Port)
The Data Port is located at an offset of '00H' from the base address. The data register is cleared at initialization by
RESET. During a WRITE operation, the Data Register latches the contents of the data bus. The contents of this
register are buffered (non inverting) and output onto the PD0 - PD7 ports. During a READ operation, PD0 - PD7 ports
are read and output to the host CPU.
Mode 011 (ECP FIFO - Address/RLE)
A data byte written to this address is placed in the FIFO and tagged as an ECP Address/RLE. The hardware at the ECP
port transmits this byte to the peripheral automatically. The operation of this register is only defined for the forward
direction (direction is 0). Refer to the ECP Parallel Port Forward Timing Diagram, located in the Timing Diagrams
section of this data sheet .
DEVICE STATUS REGISTER (DSR)
ADDRESS OFFSET = 01H
The Status Port is located at an offset of '01H' from the base address. Bits 0 - 2 are not implemented as register bits,
during a read of the Printer Status Register these bits are a low level. The bits of the Status Port are defined as follows:
BIT 3 nFault
The level on the nFault input is read by the CPU as bit 3 of the Device Status Register.
BIT 4 Select
The level on the Select input is read by the CPU as bit 4 of the Device Status Register.
BIT 5 PError
The level on the PError input is read by the CPU as bit 5 of the Device Status Register. Printer Status Register.
BIT 6 nAck
The level on the nAck input is read by the CPU as bit 6 of the Device Status Register.
BIT 7 nBusy
The complement of the level on the BUSY input is read by the CPU as bit 7 of the Device Status Register.
DEVICE CONTROL REGISTER (DCR)
ADDRESS OFFSET = 02H
The Control Register is located at an offset of '02H' from the base address. The Control Register is initialized to zero 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 - INITIATE OUTPUT
This bit is output onto the nINIT output without inversion.
BIT 3 SELECTIN
This bit is inverted and output onto the nSLCTIN output. A logic 1 on this bit selects the printer; a logic 0 means the
printer is not selected.
BIT 4 ACKINTEN - 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 due to a low to high transition on the nACK input. Refer to the description of the interrupt under
Operation, Interrupts.
BIT 5 DIRECTION
If mode=000 or mode=010, this bit has no effect and the direction is always out regardless of the state of this bit. In all
other modes, Direction is valid and a logic 0 means that the printer port is in output mode (write); a logic 1 means that
the printer port is in input mode (read).
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 87 Rev. 03/19/2001
BITS 6 and 7 during a read are a low level, and cannot be written.
CFIFO (Parallel Port Data FIFO)
ADDRESS OFFSET = 400h
Mode = 010
Bytes written or DMAed from the system to this FIFO are transmitted by a hardware handshake to the peripheral using
the standard parallel port protocol. Transfers to the FIFO are byte aligned. This mode is only defined for the forward
direction.
ECPDFIFO (ECP Data FIFO)
ADDRESS OFFSET = 400H
Mode = 011
Bytes written or DMAed from the system to this FIFO, when the direction bit is 0, are transmitted by a hardware
handshake to the peripheral using the ECP parallel port protocol. Transfers to the FIFO are byte aligned.
Data bytes from the peripheral are read under automatic hardware handshake from ECP into this FIFO when the
direction bit is 1. Reads or DMAs from the FIFO will return bytes of ECP data to the system.
TFIFO (Test FIFO Mode)
ADDRESS OFFSET = 400H
Mode = 110
Data bytes may be read, written or DMAed to or from the system to this FIFO in any direction. Data in the tFIFO will not
be transmitted to the to the parallel port lines using a hardware protocol handshake. However, data in the tFIFO may be
displayed on the parallel port data lines.
The tFIFO will not stall when overwritten or underrun. If an attempt is made to write data to a full tFIFO, the new data is
not accepted into the tFIFO. If an attempt is made to read data from an empty tFIFO, the last data byte is re-read again.
The full and empty bits must always keep track of the correct FIFO state. The tFIFO will transfer data at the maximum
ISA rate so that software may generate performance metrics.
The FIFO size and interrupt threshold can be determined by writing bytes to the FIFO and checking the full and
serviceIntr bits.
The writeIntrThreshold can be determined by starting with a full tFIFO, setting the direction bit to 0 and emptying it a byte
at a time until serviceIntr is set. This may generate a spurious interrupt, but will indicate that the threshold has been
reached.
The readIntrThreshold can be determined by setting the direction bit to 1 and filling the empty tFIFO a byte at a time until
serviceIntr is set. This may generate a spurious interrupt, but will indicate that the threshold has been reached.
Data bytes are always read from the head of tFIFO regardless of the value of the direction bit. For example if 44h, 33h,
22h is written to the FIFO, then reading the tFIFO will return 44h, 33h, 22h in the same order as was written.
CNFGA (Configuration Register A)
ADDRESS OFFSET = 400H
Mode = 111
This register is a read only register. When read, 10H is returned. This indicates to the system that this is an 8-bit
implementation. (PWord = 1 byte)
CNFGB (Configuration Register B)
ADDRESS OFFSET = 401H
Mode = 111
BIT 7 Compress
This bit is read only. During a read it is a low level. This means that this chip does not support hardware RLE
compression. It does support hardware de-compression.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 88 Rev. 03/19/2001
BIT 6 intrValue
Returns the value of the interrupt to determine possible conflicts.
BIT [5:3] Parallel Port IRQ (read-only)
to Table 45B
BITS [2:0] Parallel Port DMA (read-only)

ECR (Extended Control Register)
ADDRESS OFFSET = 402H
Mode = all
This register controls the extended ECP parallel port functions.
BITS 7,6,5
These bits are Read/Write and select the Mode.
BIT 4 nErrIntrEn
Read/Write (Valid only in ECP Mode)
1: Disables the interrupt generated on the asserting edge of nFault.
0: Enables an interrupt pulse on the high to low edge of nFault. Note that an interrupt will be generated if nFault is
asserted (interrupting) and this bit is written from a 1 to a 0. This prevents interrupts from being lost in the time
between the read of the ecr and the write of the ecr.
BIT 3 dmaEn
Read/Write
1: Enables DMA (DMA starts when serviceIntr is 0).
0: Disables DMA unconditionally.
BIT 2 serviceIntr
Read/Write
1: Disables DMA and all of the service interrupts.
0: Enables one of the following 3 cases of interrupts. Once one of the 3 service interrupts has occurred serviceIntr bit
shall be set to a 1 by hardware. It must be reset to 0 to re-enable the interrupts. Writing this bit to a 1 will not cause
an interrupt.
case dmaEn=1:
During DMA (this bit is set to a 1 when terminal count is reached).
case dmaEn=0 direction=0:
This bit shall be set to 1 whenever there are writeIntrThreshold or more bytes free in the FIFO.
case dmaEn=0 direction=1:
This bit shall be set to 1 whenever there are readIntrThreshold or more valid bytes to be read from the FIFO.
BIT 1 full
Read only
1: The FIFO cannot accept another byte or the FIFO is completely full.
0: The FIFO has at least 1 free byte.
BIT 0 empty
Read only
1: The FIFO is completely empty.
0: The FIFO contains at least 1 byte of data.

Table 45a – Extended Control Register
R/W MODE
000: Standard Parallel Port Mode . In this mode the FIFO is reset and common collector drivers are
used on the control lines (nStrobe, nAutoFd, nInit and nSelectIn). Setting the direction bit will
not tri-state the output drivers in this mode.
001: PS/2 Parallel Port Mode. Same as above except that direction may be used to tri-state the
data lines and reading the data register returns the value on the data lines and not the value in
the data register. All drivers have active pull-ups (push-pull).
010: Parallel Port FIFO Mode. This is the same as 000 except that bytes are written or DMAed to the
FIFO. FIFO data is automatically transmitted using the standard parallel port protocol. Note that
this mode is only useful when direction is 0. All drivers have active pull-ups (push-pull).
011: ECP Parallel Port Mode. In the forward direction (direction is 0) bytes placed into the ecpDFifo
and bytes written to the ecpAFifo are placed in a single FIFO and transmitted automatically to
the peripheral using ECP Protocol. In the reverse direction (direction is 1) bytes are moved
from the ECP parallel port and packed into bytes in the ecpDFifo. All drivers have active
pull-ups (push-pull).
100: Selects EPP Mode: In this mode, EPP is selected if the EPP supported option is selected in
configuration register L3-CRF0. All drivers have active pull-ups (push-pull).
101: Reserved
110: Test Mode. In this mode the FIFO may be written and read, but the data will not be transmitted
on the parallel port. All drivers have active pull-ups (push-pull).
111: Configuration Mode. In this mode the confgA, confgB registers are accessible at 0x400 and
0x401. All drivers have active pull-ups (push-pull).

OPERATION
Mode Switching/Software Control
Software will execute P1284 negotiation and all operation prior to a data transfer phase under programmed I/O control
(mode 000 or 001). Hardware provides an automatic control line handshake, moving data between the FIFO and the
ECP port only in the data transfer phase (modes 011 or 010).
Setting the mode to 011 or 010 will cause the hardware to initiate data transfer.
If the port is in mode 000 or 001 it may switch to any other mode. If the port is not in mode 000 or 001 it can only be
switched into mode 000 or 001. The direction can only be changed in mode 001.
Once in an extended forward mode the software should wait for the FIFO to be empty before switching back to mode
000 or 001. In this case all control signals will be deasserted before the mode switch. In an ecp reverse mode the
software waits for all the data to be read from the FIFO before changing back to mode 000 or 001. Since the automatic
hardware ecp reverse handshake only cares about the state of the FIFO it may have acquired extra data which will be
discarded. It may in fact be in the middle of a transfer when the mode is changed back to 000 or 001. In this case the
port will deassert nAutoFd independent of the state of the transfer. The design shall not cause glitches on the
handshake signals if the software meets the constraints above.
ECP Operation
Prior to ECP operation the Host must negotiate on the parallel port to determine if the peripheral supports the ECP
protocol. This is a somewhat complex negotiation carried out under program control in mode 000.
After negotiation, it is necessary to initialize some of the port bits. The following are required:
Set Direction = 0, enabling the drivers.
Set strobe = 0, causing the nStrobe signal to default to the deasserted state.
Set autoFd = 0, causing the nAutoFd signal to default to the deasserted state.
Set mode = 011 (ECP Mode)
ECP address/RLE bytes or data bytes may be sent automatically by writing the ecpAFifo or ecpDFifo respectively.
Note that all FIFO data transfers are byte wide and byte aligned. Address/RLE transfers are byte-wide and only allowed
in the forward direction.
The host may switch directions by first switching to mode = 001, negotiating for the forward or reverse channel, setting
direction to 1 or 0, then setting mode = 011. When direction is 1 the hardware shall handshake for each ECP read data
byte and attempt to fill the FIFO. Bytes may then be read from the ecpDFifo as long as it is not empty.
ECP transfers may also be accomplished (albeit slowly) by handshaking individual bytes under program control in mode
= 001, or 000.
Termination from ECP Mode
Termination from ECP Mode is similar to the termination from Nibble/Byte Modes. The host is permitted to terminate
from ECP Mode only in specific well-defined states. The termination can only be executed while the bus is in the forward
direction. To terminate while the channel is in the reverse direction, it must first be transitioned into the forward direction.
Command/Data
ECP Mode supports two advanced features to improve the effectiveness of the protocol for some applications. The
features are implemented by allowing the transfer of normal 8 bit data or 8 bit commands.
When in the forward direction, normal data is transferred when HostAck is high and an 8 bit command is transferred
when HostAck is low.
The most significant bit of the command indicates whether it is a run-length count (for compression) or a channel
address.
When in the reverse direction, normal data is transferred when PeriphAck is high and an 8 bit command is transferred
when PeriphAck is low. The most significant bit of the command is always zero. Reverse channel addresses are seldom
used and may not be supported in hardware.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 91 Rev. 03/19/2001
Table 46 – Channel/Data Commands supported in ECP mode

Reverse Channel Commands (PeripAck Low)
D7 D[6:0]
0 Run-Length Count (0-127)
(mode 0011 0X00 only)
1 Channel Address (0-127)
Data Compression
The ECP port supports run length encoded (RLE) decompression in hardware and can transfer compressed data to a
peripheral. Run length encoded (RLE) compression in hardware is not supported. To transfer compressed data in ECP
mode, the compression count is written to the ecpAFifo and the data byte is written to the ecpDFifo.
Compression is accomplished by counting identical bytes and transmitting an RLE byte that indicates how many times
the next byte is to be repeated. Decompression simply intercepts the RLE byte and repeats the following byte the
specified number of times. When a run-length count is received from a peripheral, the subsequent data byte is replicated
the specified number of times. A run-length count of zero specifies that only one byte of data is represented by the next
data byte, whereas a run-length count of 127 indicates that the next byte should be expanded to 128 bytes. To prevent
data expansion, however, run-length counts of zero should be avoided.
Pin Definition
The drivers for nStrobe, nAutoFd, nInit and nSelectIn are open-collector in mode 000 and are push-pull in all other
modes.
LPC Connections
The interface can never stall causing the host to hang. The width of data transfers is strictly controlled on an I/O address
basis per this specification. All FIFO-DMA transfers are byte wide, byte aligned and end on a byte boundary. (The
PWord value can be obtained by reading Configuration Register A, cnfgA, described in the next section). Single byte
wide transfers are always possible with standard or PS/2 mode using program control of the control signals.
Interrupts
The interrupts are enabled by serviceIntr in the ecr register.
serviceIntr = 1 Disables the DMA and all of the service interrupts.
serviceIntr = 0 Enables the selected interrupt condition. If the interrupting condition is valid, then the interrupt is
generated immediately when this bit is changed from a 1 to a 0. This can occur during Programmed
I/O if the number of bytes removed or added from/to the FIFO does not cross the threshold.
An interrupt is generated when:
1) For DMA transfers: When serviceIntr is 0, dmaEn is 1 and the DMA TC cycle is received.
2) For Programmed I/O:
a) When serviceIntr is 0, dmaEn is 0, direction is 0 and there are writeIntrThreshold or more free bytes in the
FIFO. Also, an interrupt is generated when serviceIntr is cleared to 0 whenever there are writeIntrThreshold or
more free bytes in the FIFO.
b) When serviceIntr is 0, dmaEn is 0, direction is 1 and there are readIntrThreshold or more bytes in the FIFO.
Also, an interrupt is generated when serviceIntr is cleared to 0 whenever there are readIntrThreshold or more
bytes in the FIFO.
3) When nErrIntrEn is 0 and nFault transitions from high to low or when nErrIntrEn is set from 1 to 0 and nFault is
asserted.
4) When ackIntEn is 1 and the nAck signal transitions from a low to a high.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 92 Rev. 03/19/2001
FIFO Operation
The FIFO threshold is set in the chip configuration registers. All data transfers to or from the parallel port can proceed in
DMA or Programmed I/O (non-DMA) mode as indicated by the selected mode. The FIFO is used by selecting the
Parallel Port FIFO mode or ECP Parallel Port Mode. (FIFO test mode will be addressed separately.) After a reset, the
FIFO is disabled. Each data byte is transferred by a Programmed I/O cycle or DMA cycle depending on the selection of
DMA or Programmed I/O mode.
The following paragraphs detail the operation of the FIFO flow control. In these descriptions, <threshold> ranges from 1
to 16. The parameter FIFOTHR, which the user programs, is one less and ranges from 0 to 15.
A low threshold value (i.e. 2) results in longer periods of time between service requests, but requires faster servicing of
the request for both read and write cases. The host must be very responsive to the service request. This is the desired
case for use with a "fast" system. 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.
DMA TRANSFERS
DMA transfers are always to or from the ecpDFifo, tFifo or CFifo. DMA utilizes the standard PC DMA services. To use
the DMA transfers, the host first sets up the direction and state as in the programmed I/O case. Then it programs the
DMA controller in the host with the desired count and memory address. Lastly it sets dmaEn to 1 and serviceIntr to 0.
The ECP requests DMA transfers from the host by encoding the LDRQ# pin. The DMA will empty or fill the FIFO using
the appropriate direction and mode. When the terminal count in the DMA controller is reached, an interrupt is generated
and serviceIntr is asserted, disabling DMA. In order to prevent possible blocking of refresh requests a DMA cycle shall
not be requested for more than 32 DMA cycles in a row. The FIFO is enabled directly by the host initiating a DMA cycle
for the requested channel, and addresses need not be valid. An interrupt is generated when a TC cycle is received.
(Note: The only way to properly terminate DMA transfers is with a TC cycle.)
DMA may be disabled in the middle of a transfer by first disabling the host DMA controller. Then setting serviceIntr to 1,
followed by setting dmaEn to 0, and waiting for the FIFO to become empty or full. Restarting the DMA is accomplished
by enabling DMA in the host, setting dmaEn to 1, followed by setting serviceIntr to 0.
DMA Mode - Transfers from the FIFO to the Host
(Note: In the reverse mode, the peripheral may not continue to fill the FIFO if it runs out of data to transfer, even if the
chip continues to request more data from the peripheral.)
The ECP requests a DMA cycle whenever there is data in the FIFO. The DMA controller must respond to the request by
reading data from the FIFO. The ECP stops requesting DMA cycles when the FIFO becomes empty or when a TC cycle
is received, indicating that no more data is required. If the ECP stops requesting DMA cycles due to the FIFO going
empty, then a DMA cycle is requested again as soon as there is one byte in the FIFO. If the ECP stops requesting DMA
cycles due to the TC cycle, then a DMA cycle is requested again when there is one byte in the FIFO, and serviceIntr has
been re-enabled.
Programmed I/O Mode or Non-DMA Mode
The ECP or parallel port FIFOs may also be operated using interrupt driven programmed I/O. Software can determine
the writeIntrThreshold, readIntrThreshold, and FIFO depth by accessing the FIFO in Test Mode.
Programmed I/O transfers are to the ecpDFifo at 400H and ecpAFifo at 000H or from the ecpDFifo located at 400H, or
to/from the tFifo at 400H. To use the programmed I/O transfers, the host first sets up the direction and state, sets
dmaEn to 0 and serviceIntr to 0.
The ECP requests programmed I/O transfers from the host by activating the interrupt. The programmed I/O will empty or
fill the FIFO using the appropriate direction and mode.
Note: A threshold of 16 is equivalent to a threshold of 15. These two cases are treated the same.
Programmed I/O - Transfers from the FIFO to the Host
In the reverse direction an interrupt occurs when serviceIntr is 0 and readIntrThreshold bytes are available in the FIFO.
If at this time the FIFO is full it can be emptied completely in a single burst, otherwise readIntrThreshold bytes may be
read from the FIFO in a single burst.
readIntrThreshold =(16-<threshold>) data bytes in FIFO
An interrupt is generated when serviceIntr is 0 and the number of bytes in the FIFO is greater than or equal to (16<threshold>). (If the threshold = 12, then the interrupt is set whenever there are 4-16 bytes in the FIFO). 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
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 93 Rev. 03/19/2001
the FIFO. If at this time the FIFO is full, it can be completely emptied in a single burst, otherwise a minimum of (16<threshold>) bytes may be read from the FIFO in a single burst.
Programmed I/O - Transfers from the Host to the FIFO
In the forward direction an interrupt occurs when serviceIntr is 0 and there are writeIntrThreshold or more bytes free in
the FIFO. At this time if the FIFO is empty it can be filled with a single burst before the empty bit needs to be re-read.
Otherwise it may be filled with writeIntrThreshold bytes.
writeIntrThreshold = (16-<threshold>) free bytes in FIFO
An interrupt is generated when serviceIntr is 0 and the number of bytes in the FIFO is less than or equal to <threshold>.
(If the threshold = 12, then the interrupt is set whenever there are 12 or less bytes of data in the FIFO.) The host must
respond to the request by writing data to the FIFO. If at this time the FIFO is empty, it can be completely filled in a single
burst, otherwise a minimum of (16-<threshold>) bytes may be written to the FIFO in a single burst. This process is
repeated until the last byte is transferred into the FIFO.
6.10 POWER MANAGEMENT
Power management capabilities are provided for the following logical devices: floppy disk, UART 1, UART 2 and the
parallel port. For each logical device, two types of power management are provided: direct powerdown and auto
powerdown.
FDC Power Management
Direct power management is controlled by CR22. Refer to CR22 for more information.
Auto Power Management is enabled by CR23-B0. When set, this bit allows FDC to enter powerdown when all of the
following conditions have been met:
1) The motor enable pins of register 3F2H are inactive (zero).
2) The part must be idle; MSR=80H and INT = 0 (INT may be high even if MSR = 80H due to polling interrupts).
3) The head unload timer must have expired.
4) The Auto powerdown timer (10msec) must have timed out.
An internal timer is initiated as soon as the auto powerdown command is enabled. The part is then powered down when
all the conditions are met.
Disabling the auto powerdown mode cancels the timer and holds the FDC block out of auto powerdown.
Note: At least 8us delay should be added when exiting FDC Auto Powerdown mode. If the operating environment is
such that this delay cannot be guaranteed, the auto powerdown mode should not be used and Direct powerdown
mode should be used instead. The Direct powerdown mode requires at least 8us delay at 250K bits/sec
configuration and 4us delay at 500K bits/sec. The delay should be added so that the internal microcontroller can
prepare itself to accept commands.
DSR From Powerdown
If DSR powerdown is used when the part is in auto powerdown, the DSR powerdown will override the auto powerdown.
However, when the part is awakened from DSR powerdown, the auto powerdown will once again become effective.
Wake Up From Auto Powerdown
If the part enters the powerdown state through the auto powerdown mode, then the part can be awakened by reset or by
appropriate access to certain registers.
If a hardware or software reset is used then the part will go through the normal reset sequence. If the access is through
the selected registers, then the FDC resumes operation as though it was never in powerdown. Besides activating the
PCI_RESET# pin or one of the software reset bits in the DOR or DSR, the following register accesses will wake up the
part:
1) Enabling any one of the motor enable bits in the DOR register (reading the DOR does not awaken the part).
2) A read from the MSR register.
3) A read or write to the Data register.
Once awake, the FDC will reinitiate the auto powerdown timer for 10 ms. The part will powerdown again when all
the powerdown conditions are satisfied.
SMSC DS – LPC47M14X Page 94 Rev. 03/19/2001
Register Behavior
Table 47 illustrates the AT and PS/2 (including Model 30) configuration registers available and the type of access
permitted. In order to maintain software transparency, access to all the registers must be maintained. As Table 47
shows, two sets of registers are distinguished based on whether their access results in the part remaining in powerdown
state or exiting it.
Access to all other registers is possible without awakening the part. These registers can be accessed during
powerdown without changing the status of the part. A read from these registers will reflect the true status as shown in
the register description in the FDC description. A write to the part will result in the part retaining the data and
subsequently reflecting it when the part awakens. Accessing the part during powerdown may cause an increase in the
power consumption by the part. The part will revert back to its low power mode when the access has been completed.
Pin Behavior
The LPC47M14x is specifically designed for systems in which power conservation is a primary concern. This makes the
behavior of the pins during powerdown very important.
The pins of the LPC47M14x can be divided into two major categories: system interface and floppy disk drive interface.
The floppy disk drive pins are disabled so that no power will be drawn through the part as a result of any voltage applied
to the pin within the part's power supply range. Most of the system interface pins are left active to monitor system
accesses that may wake up the part.

software reset (via DOR or DSR reset bits) will wake up the part.

System Interface Pins
Table 48 gives the state of the interface pins in the powerdown state. Pins unaffected by the powerdown are labeled
“Unchanged.”

UART Power Management
Direct power management is controlled by CR22. Refer to CR22 for more information.
Auto Power Management is enabled by CR23-B4 and B5. When set, these bits allow the following auto power
management operations:
1) The transmitter enters auto powerdown when the transmit buffer and shift register are empty.
2) The receiver enters powerdown when the following conditions are all met:
a) Receive FIFO is empty
b) The receiver is waiting for a start bit.
Note: While in powerdown the Ring Indicator interrupt is still valid and transitions when the RI input changes.
Exit Auto Powerdown
The transmitter exits powerdown on a write to the XMIT buffer. The receiver exits auto powerdown when RXDx
changes state.
Parallel Port
Direct power management is controlled by CR22. Refer to CR22 for more information.
Auto Power Management is enabled by CR23-B3. When set, this bit allows the ECP or EPP logical parallel port blocks
to be placed into powerdown when not being used.
The EPP logic is in powerdown under any of the following conditions:
1) EPP is not enabled in the configuration registers.
2) EPP is not selected through ecr while in ECP mode.
The ECP logic is in powerdown under any of the following conditions:
1) ECP is not enabled in the configuration registers.
2) SPP, PS/2 Parallel port or EPP mode is selected through ecr while in ECP mode.
Exit Auto Powerdown
The parallel port logic can change powerdown modes when the ECP mode is changed through the ecr register or when
the parallel port mode is changed through the configuration registers.

6.11 SERIAL IRQ
The LPC47M14x supports the serial interrupt to transmit interrupt information to the host system. The serial interrupt
scheme adheres to the Serial IRQ Specification for PCI Systems, Version 6.0.

SER_IRQ Cycle Control
There are two modes of operation for the SER_IRQ Start Frame.
1) Quiet (Active) Mode: Any device may initiate a Start Frame by driving the SER_IRQ low for one clock, while
the SER_IRQ is Idle. After driving low for one clock the SER_IRQ must immediately be tri-stated without at
any time driving high. A Start Frame may not be initiated while the SER_IRQ is Active. The SER_IRQ is Idle
between Stop and Start Frames. The SER_IRQ is Active between Start and Stop Frames. This mode of
operation allows the SER_IRQ to be Idle when there are no IRQ/Data transitions which should be most of the
time.
Once a Start Frame has been initiated the Host Controller will take over driving the SER_IRQ low in the next
clock and will continue driving the SER_IRQ low for a programmable period of three to seven clocks. This
makes a total low pulse width of four to eight clocks. Finally, the Host Controller will drive the SER_IRQ back
high for one clock, then tri-state. Any SER_IRQ Device (i.e., The LPC47M14x) which detects any transition
on an IRQ/Data line for which it is responsible must initiate a Start Frame in order to update the Host
Controller unless the SER_IRQ is already in an SER_IRQ Cycle and the IRQ/Data transition can be delivered
in that SER_IRQ Cycle.
2) Continuous (Idle) Mode: Only the Host controller can initiate a Start Frame to update IRQ/Data line
information. All other SER_IRQ agents become passive and may not initiate a Start Frame. SER_IRQ will be
driven low for four to eight clocks by Host Controller. This mode has two functions. It can be used to stop or
idle the SER_IRQ or the Host Controller can operate SER_IRQ in a continuous mode by initiating a Start
Frame at the end of every Stop Frame.
An SER_IRQ mode transition can only occur during the Stop Frame. Upon reset, SER_IRQ bus is defaulted to
Continuous mode, therefore only the Host controller can initiate the first Start Frame. Slaves must
continuously sample the Stop Frames pulse width to determine the next SER_IRQ Cycle’s mode.
SER_IRQ Data Frame
Once a Start Frame has been initiated, the LPC47M14x will watch for the rising edge of the Start Pulse and start
counting IRQ/Data Frames from there. Each IRQ/Data Frame is three clocks: Sample phase, Recovery phase, and
Turn-around phase. During the Sample phase the LPC47M14x must drive the SER_IRQ low, if and only if, its last
detected IRQ/Data value was low. If its detected IRQ/Data value is high, SER_IRQ must be left tri-stated. During the
Recovery phase the LPC47M14x must drive the SER_IRQ high, if and only if, it had driven the SER_IRQ low during
the previous Sample Phase. During the Turn-around Phase the LPC47M14x must tri-state the SER_IRQ. The
LPC47M14x will drive the SER_IRQ line low at the appropriate sample point if its associated IRQ/Data line is low,
regardless of which device initiated the Start Frame.
The Sample Phase for each IRQ/Data follows the low to high transition of the Start Frame pulse by a number of
clocks equal to the IRQ/Data Frame times three, minus one. (e.g. The IRQ5 Sample clock is the sixth IRQ/Data
Frame, (6 x 3) - 1 = 17th clock after the rising edge of the Start Pulse).
SER_IRQ Sampling Periods
SER_IRQ PERIOD SIGNAL SAMPLED # OF CLOCKS PAST START
The SER_IRQ data frame will now support IRQ2 from a logical device, previously SER_IRQ Period 3 was reserved
for use by the System Management Interrupt (nSMI). When using Period 3 for IRQ2 the user should mask off the
SMI via the SMI Enable Register. Likewise, when using Period 3 for nSMI the user should not configure any logical
devices as using IRQ2.
SER_IRQ Period 14 is used to transfer IRQ13. Logical devices 0 (FDC), 3 (Par Port), 4 (Ser Port 1), 5 (Ser Port 2),
and 7 (KBD) shall have IRQ13 as a choice for their primary interrupt.
The SMI is enabled onto the SMI frame of the Serial IRQ via bit 6 of SMI Enable Register 2 and onto the SMI pin via
bit 7 of the SMI Enable Register 2.
Stop Cycle Control
Once all IRQ/Data Frames have completed the Host Controller will terminate SER_IRQ activity by initiating a Stop
Frame. Only the Host Controller can initiate the Stop Frame. A Stop Frame is indicated when the SER_IRQ is low
for two or three clocks. If the Stop Frame’s low time is two clocks then the next SER_IRQ Cycle’s sampled mode is
the Quiet mode; and any SER_IRQ device may initiate a Start Frame in the second clock or more after the rising
edge of the Stop Frame’s pulse. If the Stop Frame’s low time is three clocks then the next SER_IRQ Cycle’s sampled
mode is the Continuos mode; and only the Host Controller may initiate a Start Frame in the second clock or more
after the rising edge of the Stop Frame’s pulse.
Latency
Latency for IRQ/Data updates over the SER_IRQ bus in bridge-less systems with the minimum Host supported
IRQ/Data Frames of seventeen, will range up to 96 clocks (3.84µS with a 25MHz PCI Bus or 2.88uS with a 33MHz
PCI Bus). If one or more PCI to PCI Bridge is added to a system, the latency for IRQ/Data updates from the
secondary or tertiary buses will be a few clocks longer for synchronous buses, and approximately double for
asynchronous buses.
EOI/ISR Read Latency
Any serialized IRQ scheme has a potential implementation issue related to IRQ latency. IRQ latency could cause an
EOI or ISR Read to precede an IRQ transition that it should have followed. This could cause a system fault. The host
interrupt controller is responsible for ensuring that these latency issues are mitigated. The recommended solution is
to delay EOIs and ISR Reads to the interrupt controller by the same amount as the SER_IRQ Cycle latency in order
to ensure that these events do not occur out of order.
AC/DC Specification Issue
All SER_IRQ agents must drive / sample SER_IRQ synchronously related to the rising edge of PCI bus clock. The
SER_IRQ pin uses the electrical specification of PCI bus. Electrical parameters will follow PCI spec. section 4,
sustained tri-state.
Reset and Initialization
The SER_IRQ bus uses nPCI_RESET as its reset signal. The SER_IRQ pin is tri-stated by all agents while
nPCI_RESET is active. With reset, SER_IRQ Slaves are put into the (continuous) IDLE mode. The Host Controller is
responsible for starting the initial SER_IRQ Cycle to collect system’s IRQ/Data default values. The system then
follows with the Continuous/Quiet mode protocol (Stop Frame pulse width) for subsequent SER_IRQ Cycles. It is
Host Controller’s responsibility to provide the default values to 8259’s and other system logic before the first
SER_IRQ Cycle is performed. For SER_IRQ system suspend, insertion, or removal application, the Host controller
should be programmed into Continuous (IDLE) mode first. This is to guarantee SER_IRQ bus is in IDLE state before
the system configuration changes.
