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.
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.
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.
EPP DATA PORT 2
ADDRESS OFFSET = 06H
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.
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 Write
The timing for a write operation (address or
data) is shown in timing diagram EPP Write
Data or Address cycle. IOCHRDY is driven
active low at the start of each EPP write and is
released when it has been determined that the
write cycle can complete. The write cycle can
complete under the following circumstances:
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.
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.
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 10msec
have elapsed from the start of the EPP cycle
(nIOR or nIOW asserted) to nWAIT being
91
