XR16C872
DISCONTINUED
This bit is forced to logic zero by ECR modes 000 or 010.
It can be written only in ECR mode 001, and will maintain
that state if the ECR mode is changed to 011, 100, or
110. This bit must be set low for EPP mode, which allows
the host to control direction with IOR# and IOW#. The
final port direction also drives PDIR.
DCR Bits 6-7:
Reserved, logic zero.
EPP ADDRESS PORT ( EPP-APort )
When EPP mode is enabled, a host read or write with
this port will result in a data transfer directly to/from the
peripheral with SLCTIN# active. Direction is set by host
read/write and will drive STROBE# low during a write if
DCR bit 5 (DIR) is not set high.
FIFO-E remains coherent.
TEST FIFO ( T-FIFO )
This port is available for programmed I/O and DMA
access. Data written to this port is stored in the FIFO
if FIFO-F = 0 and will be lost if FIFO-F = 1. During a read
cycle from this port a FIFO under-run will return last data
read and FIFO-E remains coherent.
CONFIGURATION REGISTER A ( Cnfg-A )
This read-only register is available in ECR mode 111
only.
Cnfg-A Bit 0-1:
Forced to logic zero, this field is don’t care for PWord
= 1 byte.
EPP DATA PORT (EPP-DPort )
When EPP mode is enabled, a host read or write with
this port will result in a data transfer directly to/from the
peripheral with AUTOFD# active. Direction is set by
host read/write and will drive STROBE# low during a
write if DCR bit 5 (DIR) is not set high.
PARALLEL PORT DATA ( C-FIFO )
Cnfg-A Bit-2:
When transmitting, there is 1 byte waiting to be trans-
mitted that does not affect FIFO-F.
Cnfg-A Bit-3:
Reserved, logic zero.
Cnfg-A Bit 4-6:
Indicates PWord = 1 byte (8-bit implementation).
This port is available for programmed I/O and DMA
access. Data written to this port is stored in the FIFO
if FIFO-F = 0 and will be lost if FIFO-F = 1.
Data written to this port will be automatically transferred
to the peripheral with STROBE# handshaking with
BUSY. This port is only defined for write, host reads will
interfere with FIFO read sequencing.
Cnfg-A Bit-7:
Indicates ECP interrupts are pulsed.
CONFIGURATION REGISTER B ( Cnfg-B )
This register is available in ECR mode 111 only, and
returns bits 0-5 as logic zero.
ECP DATA FIFO ( ECP-DFIFO )
This port is available for programmed I/O and DMA
access. Data written to this port is stored in the FIFO
if FIFO-F = 0 and will be lost if FIFO-F = 1. A 9th FIFO
bit (tag) is set high on write.
Data read from this port will undergo de-compression if
the FIFO tag bit and data bit-7 are both low. The byte
containing the RLE count is loaded into the RLE counter
and the succeeding byte in the FIFO will be returned to
the host RLE count + 1 times before the FIFO read
address is incremented. If a FIFO under-run is incurred
during host read, the last data byte is returned and
Cnfg-B Bit 0-2:
In the PnP mode the DMA channel is assigned through
auto configuration. It defaults to DMA 3 in the manual
mode.
IOW# IOR# DMA
X00 000 3
X01 001 3
X10 010 3
X11 011 3 (default)
