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 WRITE or before nDATASTB goes active. The read can complete once nWAIT
is determined inactive.
Read Sequence of Operation
1. The host initiates an I/O read cycle to the selected EPP register.
2. If WAIT is not asserted, the chip must wait until WAIT is asserted.
3. The chip tri-states the PData bus and deasserts nWRITE.
4. Chip asserts nDATASTB or nADDRSTRB indicating that PData bus is tri-stated, PDIR is set and the
nWRITE signal is valid.
5. Peripheral drives PData bus valid.
6. Peripheral deasserts nWAIT, indicating that PData is valid and the chip may begin the termination
phase of the cycle.
7. a) The chip latches the data from the PData bus for the internal data bus and deasserts nDATASTB
or nADDRSTRB. This marks the beginning of the termination phase.
b) The chip drives the sync that indicates that no more wait states are required and drives the valid
data onto the LAD[3:0] signals, followed by the TAR to complete the read cycle.
8. Peripheral tri-states the PData bus and asserts nWAIT, indicating to the host that the PData bus is tri-
stated.
9. Chip may modify nWRITE, PDIR and nPDATA in preparation for the next cycle.
EPP 1.7 OPERATION
When the EPP 1.7 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.
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 10usec have elapsed from the start of
the EPP cycle to the end of the cycle. If a time-out occurs, the current EPP cycle is aborted and the time-
out condition is indicated in Status bit 0.
Software Constraints
Before an EPP cycle is executed, the software must ensure that the control register bits D0, D1 and D3
are set to zero. Also, bit D5 (PCD) is a logic "0" for an EPP write or a logic "1" for and EPP read.
EPP 1.7 Write
The timing for a write operation (address or data) is shown in timing diagram EPP 1.7 Write Data or
Address cycle. The chip inserts wait states into the I/O write cycle when nWAIT is active low during the
EPP cycle. This can be used to extend the cycle time. The write cycle can complete when nWAIT is
inactive high.
Write Sequence of Operation
1. The host sets PDIR bit in the control register to a logic "0". This asserts nWRITE.
2. The host initiates an I/O write cycle to the selected EPP register.
3. The chip places address or data on PData bus.
4. Chip asserts nDATASTB or nADDRSTRB indicating that PData bus contains valid information, and
the WRITE signal is valid.
5. If nWAIT is asserted, the chip inserts wait states into I/O write cycle until the peripheral deasserts
nWAIT or a time-out occurs.
6. The chip drives the final sync, deasserts nDATASTB or nADDRSTRB and latches the data from the
internal data bus for the PData bus.
7. Chip may modify nWRITE, PDIR and nPDATA in preparation of the next cycle.
EPP 1.7 Read
The timing for a read operation (data) is shown in timing diagram EPP 1.7 Read Data cycle. The chip
inserts wait states into the I/O read cycle when nWAIT is active low during the EPP cycle. This can be
used to extend the cycle time. The read cycle can complete when nWAIT is inactive high.
Read Sequence of Operation
1. The host sets PDIR bit in the control register to a logic "1". This deasserts nWRITE and tri-states the
PData bus.
