Power-On Reset
The ZX6017 defaults to the Memory Only interface as outlined in the
PCMCIA specification upon deassertion of Power-On Reset /POR). The
hardware sets Busy on the PC_RDY/BSY pin and then addresses the
EE_MASTER pin. If the EE_MASTER pin is unconnected or pulled
High, the ZX6017 serial interface defaults to the Master mode and an
external EEPROM is required. If this pin is pulled Low, the SLAVE mode
is selected and an external microprocessor is required to configure the
ZX6017 through the serial interface pins.
Next, the hardware addresses the PC_ATA//HOE pin. If the PC_ATA/
HOE pin is held Low for 40 clocks (PC_MCLK_IN) after POR
deassertion, the ZX6017 is enabled for ATA/IDE to ATA/IDE
PASSTHROUGH mode. The PASSTHROUGH mode is for systems that
