Interrupts
The PD67XX provides ten interrupt pins that are labeled with names suggesting their mapping in
the system, though there are no hard requirements specifying the exact mapping. Typically, all ten
interrupt pins should be connected to system interrupt signals to allow maximum flexibility in
programming interrupt routing from the PD67XX.
Classes of Interrupts
The PD67XX supports two classes of interrupts:
• Socket or card interrupts initiated by the PC Card activating its RDY/-IREQ signal
• Management interrupts triggered by changes in PC Card status, including:
— Card insertion or removal
— Battery warning indicator (BVD2) change on a memory-type card
— Battery dead indicator (BVD1) or I/O-type card status change (-STSCHG)
— Ready (RDY) status change on a memory-type card
Either class of interrupts can be routed to any of the ten interrupt pins on the PD67XX.
