Burst mode is enabled via Bit[1] of CRF0 in
Logical Device 0. Setting Bit[1]=0 enables burst
mode; the default is Bit[1]=1, for non-burst
mode.
PS/2 mode - (IDENT low, MFM high)
This mode supports the PS/2 models 50/60/80
configuration and register set. The DMA bit of
the DOR becomes a "don't care", (FINTR and
DRQ are always valid), TC and DENSEL
become active low.
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.
Model 30 mode - (IDENT low, MFM low)
This mode supports PS/2 Model 30
configuration and register set. The DMA enable
bit of ther DOR becomes valid (FINTR and DRQ
can be hi Z), TC is active high and DENSEL is
active low.
Command Phase
After a reset, the FDC enters the command
phase and is ready to accept a command from
the host. For each of the commands, a defined
set of command code bytes and parameter
bytes has to be written to the FDC before the
command phase is complete. (Please refer to
Table 19 for the command set descriptions.)
These bytes of data must be transferred in the
order prescribed.
DMA TRANSFERS
DMA transfers are enabled with the Specify
command and are initiated by the FDC by
activating the FDRQ pin during a data transfer
command. The FIFO is enabled directly by
asserting nDACK and addresses need not be
valid.
Note that if the DMA controller (i.e. 8237A) is
programmed to function in verify mode, a
pseudo read is performed by the FDC based
only on nDACK. This mode is only available
when the FDC has been configured into byte
mode (FIFO disabled) and is programmed to do
a read. With the FIFO enabled, the FDC can
perform the above operation by using the new
Verify command; no DMA operation is needed.
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
The FDC37M60x supports two DMA transfer
modes for the FDC: Single Transfer and Burst
Transfer. In the case of the single transfer, the
DMA Req goes active at the start of the DMA
cycle, and the DMA Req is deasserted after the
nDACK. In the case of the burst transfer, the
Req is held active until the last transfer
(independent of nDACK). See timing diagrams
for more information.
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.
