PARALLEL PORT
The LPC47B27x 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 LPC47B27x also provides a mode for support of the floppy disk controller on the parallel port.
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:
