Register Behavior
Table 47 illustrates the AT and PS/2 (including Model 30) configuration registers available and the type of access
permitted. In order to maintain software transparency, access to all the registers must be maintained. As Table 47
shows, two sets of registers are distinguished based on whether their access results in the part remaining in powerdown
state or exiting it.
Access to all other registers is possible without awakening the part. These registers can be accessed during
powerdown without changing the status of the part. A read from these registers will reflect the true status as shown in
the register description in the FDC description. A write to the part will result in the part retaining the data and
subsequently reflecting it when the part awakens. Accessing the part during powerdown may cause an increase in the
power consumption by the part. The part will revert back to its low power mode when the access has been completed.
Pin Behavior
The LPC47M14x is specifically designed for systems in which power conservation is a primary concern. This makes the
behavior of the pins during powerdown very important.
The pins of the LPC47M14x can be divided into two major categories: system interface and floppy disk drive interface.
The floppy disk drive pins are disabled so that no power will be drawn through the part as a result of any voltage applied
to the pin within the part's power supply range. Most of the system interface pins are left active to monitor system
accesses that may wake up the part.

Note 1: Writing to the DOR or DSR does not wake up the part, however, writing any of the motor enable bits or doing a
software reset (via DOR or DSR reset bits) will wake up the part.
