CONFIGURATION
The Configuration of the LPC47M14x is very flexible and is based on the configuration architecture implemented in
typical Plug-and-Play components. The LPC47M14x is designed for motherboard applications in which the resources
required by their components are known. With its flexible resource allocation architecture, the LPC47M14x allows the
BIOS to assign resources at POST.
SYSTEM ELEMENTS
Primary Configuration Address Decoder
After a hard reset (PCI_RESET# pin asserted) or Vcc Power On Reset the LPC47M14x is in the Run Mode with all
logical devices disabled. The logical devices may be configured through two standard Configuration I/O Ports (INDEX
and DATA) by placing the LPC47M14x into Configuration Mode.
The BIOS uses these configuration ports to initialize the logical devices at POST. The INDEX and DATA ports are only
valid when the LPC47M14x is in Configuration Mode.
The SYSOPT pin is latched on the falling edge of the PCI_RESET# or on Vcc Power On Reset to determine the
configuration register's base address. The SYSOPT pin is used to select the CONFIG PORT's I/O address at power-up.
Once powered up the configuration port base address can be changed through configuration registers CR26 and CR27.
The SYSOPT pin is a hardware configuration pin which is shared with the GP24 signal on pin 45.
Note: An external pull-down resistor is required for the base IO address to be 0x02E for configuration. An
external pull-up resistor is required to move the base IO address for configuration to 0x04E.
The INDEX and DATA ports are effective only when the chip is in the Configuration State.

Entering the Configuration State
The device enters the Configuration State when the following Config Key is successfully written to the CONFIG PORT.
Config Key = <0x55>
Exiting the Configuration State
The device exits the Configuration State when the following Config Key is successfully written to the CONFIG PORT.
Config Key = <0xAA>
