state when not in the output mode.
44 nI/O Read nIOR I This active low signal is issued by the host
microprocessor to indicate a read operation.
45 nI/O Write nIOW I This active low signal is issued by the host
microprocessor to indicate a write operation.
46 Address Enable AEN I Active high Address Enable indicates DMA
operations on the host data bus. Used
internally to qualify appropriate address
decodes.
28-34 I/O Address A0-A10 I These host address bits determine the I/O
address to be accessed during nIOR and
41-43,
nIOW cycles. These bits are latched internally
97
by the leading edge of nIOR and nIOW. All
internal address decodes use the full A0 to
A10 address bits.
21,52, DMA Request DRQ_A O24 This active high output is the DMA request for
byte transfers of data between the host and
99 A, B, C DRQ_B
the chip. This signal is cleared on the last
DRQ_C
byte of the data transfer by the nDACK signal
going low (or by nIOR going low if nDACK was
already low as in demand mode).
22,36, nDMA nDACK_A I An active low input acknowledging the request
for a DMA transfer of data between the host

Table 18 - Description of Command Symbols
SYMBOL NAME DESCRIPTION
C Cylinder Address The currently selected address; 0 to 255.
D Data Pattern The pattern to be written in each sector data field during formatting.
D0, D1, D2, Drive Select 0-3 Designates which drives are perpendicular drives on the
D3 Perpendicular Mode Command. A "1" indicates a perpendicular
drive.
DIR Direction Control If this bit is 0, then the head will step out from the spindle during a
relative seek. If set to a 1, the head will step in toward the spindle.
DS0, DS1 Disk Drive Select DS1 DS0 DRIVE
0 0 drive 0
0 1 drive 1
1 0 drive 2
1 1 drive 3
DTL Special Sector By setting N to zero (00), DTL may be used to control the number of
Size bytes transferred in disk read/write commands. The sector size (N =
0) is set to 128. If the actual sector (on the diskette) is larger than
DTL, the remainder of the actual sector is read but is not passed to
the host during read commands; during write commands, the
remainder of the actual sector is written with all zero bytes. The CRC
check code is calculated with the actual sector. When N is not zero,
DTL has no meaning and should be set to FF HEX.
EC Enable Count When this bit is "1" the "DTL" parameter of the Verify command
becomes SC (number of sectors per track).
EFIFO Enable FIFO This active low bit when a 0, enables the FIFO. A "1" disables the
FIFO (default).
EIS Enable Implied When set, a seek operation will be performed before executing any
Seek read or write command that requires the C parameter in the
command phase. A "0" disables the implied seek.
EOT End of Track The final sector number of the current track.
GAP Alters Gap 2 length when using Perpendicular Mode.
41
Table 18 - Description of Command Symbols
SYMBOL NAME DESCRIPTION
GPL Gap Length The Gap 3 size. (Gap 3 is the space between sectors excluding the
VCO synchronization field).
H/HDS Head Address Selected head: 0 or 1 (disk side 0 or 1) as encoded in the sector ID
field.
HLT Head Load Time The time interval that FDC waits after loading the head and before
initializing a read or write operation. Refer to the Specify command
for actual delays.
HUT Head Unload Time The time interval from the end of the execution phase (of a read or
write command) until the head is unloaded. Refer to the Specify
command for actual delays.
LOCK Lock defines whether EFIFO, FIFOTHR, and PRETRK parameters of
the CONFIGURE COMMAND can be reset to their default values by
a "Software Reset". (A reset caused by writing to the appropriate bits
of either the DSR or DOR)
MFM MFM/FM Mode A one selects the double density (MFM) mode. A zero selects single
Selector density (FM) mode.
MT Multi-Track When set, this flag selects the multi-track operating mode. In this
Selector mode, the FDC treats a complete cylinder under head 0 and 1 as a
single track. The FDC operates as this expanded track started at the
first sector under head 0 and ended at the last sector under head 1.
With this flag set, a multitrack read or write operation will
automatically continue to the first sector under head 1 when the FDC
finishes operating on the last sector under head 0.
N Sector Size Code This specifies the number of bytes in a sector. If this parameter is
"00", then the sector size is 128 bytes. The number of bytes
transferred is determined by the DTL parameter. Otherwise the sector
size is (2 raised to the "N'th" power) times 128. All values up to "07"
hex are allowable. "07"h would equal a sector size of 16k. It is the
user's responsibility to not select combinations that are not possible
with the drive.

Per Track command. The number of sectors per track to be verified during a
Verify command when EC is set.
SK Skip Flag When set to 1, sectors containing a deleted data address mark will
automatically be skipped during the execution of Read Data. If Read
Deleted is executed, only sectors with a deleted address mark will be
accessed. When set to "0", the sector is read or written the same as
the read and write commands.
SRT Step Rate Interval The time interval between step pulses issued by the FDC.
Programmable from 0.5 to 8 milliseconds in increments of 0.5 ms at

NAME TYPE DESCRIPTION
nStrobe O During write operations nStrobe registers data or address into the slave on
the asserting edge (handshakes with Busy).
PData 7:0 I/O Contains address or data or RLE data.
nAck I Indicates valid data driven by the peripheral when asserted. This signal
handshakes with nAutoFd in reverse.
PeriphAck (Busy) I This signal deasserts to indicate that the peripheral can accept data. This
signal handshakes with nStrobe in the forward direction. In the reverse
direction this signal indicates whether the data lines contain ECP command
information or data. The peripheral uses this signal to flow control in the
forward direction. It is an "interlocked" handshake with nStrobe. PeriphAck
also provides command information in the reverse direction.
PError I Used to acknowledge a change in the direction the transfer (asserted =
(nAckReverse) forward). The peripheral drives this signal low to acknowledge
nReverseRequest. It is an "interlocked" handshake with nReverseRequest.
The host relies upon nAckReverse to determine when it is permitted to
drive the data bus.
Select I Indicates printer on line.
nAutoFd O Requests a byte of data from the peripheral when asserted, handshaking
(HostAck) with nAck in the reverse direction. In the forward direction this signal
indicates whether the data lines contain ECP address or data. The host
drives this signal to flow control in the reverse direction. It is an "interlocked"
handshake with nAck. HostAck also provides command information in the
forward phase.
nFault I Generates an error interrupt when asserted. This signal provides a
(nPeriphRequest) mechanism for peer-to-peer communication. This signal is valid only in the
forward direction. During ECP Mode the peripheral is permitted (but not
required) to drive this pin low to request a reverse transfer. The request is
merely a "hint" to the host; the host has ultimate control over the transfer
direction. This signal would be typically used to generate an interrupt to the
host CPU.
nInit O Sets the transfer direction (asserted = reverse, deasserted = forward). This
pin is driven low to place the channel in the reverse direction. The
peripheral is only allowed to drive the bi-directional data bus while in ECP
Mode and HostAck is low and nSelectIn is high.
nSelectIn O Always deasserted in ECP mode.

ECP Operation
Prior to ECP operation the Host must negotiate on the
parallel port to determine if the peripheral supports the
ECP protocol. This is a somewhat complex negotiation
carried out under program control in mode 000.
After negotiation, it is necessary to initialize some of the
port bits. The following are required:
• Set Direction = 0, enabling the drivers.
• Set strobe = 0, causing the nStrobe signal to default

CONFIGURATION
The configuration of the chip is programmable through software selectable configuration registers.
CONFIGURATION REGISTER ADDRESS
The address at which the Configuration Registers are located is controlled by the nRTS2 pin. The state of the nRTS2 pin
is latched by the trailing edge of hardware reset. If this latched state is a 0, the Configuration Registers are located at
address 3F0H-3F1H. If the latched state is a 1, then the Configuration Registers are located at address 370H-371H.
CONFIGURATION REGISTERS
The configuration registers are used to select programmable options of the chip. After power up, the chip is in the default
mode. The default modes are identified in the Configuration Mode Register Description. To program the configuration
registers, the following sequence must be followed:
1. Enter Configuration Mode.
2. Configure the Configuration Registers.
3. Exit Configuration Mode.
Enter Configuration Mode
To enter the configuration mode, two writes in succession to port 3F0H (or 370H) with 55H data are required. If a write to
another address or port occurs between these two writes, the chip does not enter the configuration mode. It is strongly
recommended that interrupts be disabled for the duration of these two writes.
Configuration Mode
The chip contains configuration registers CR00-CR29. These registers are accessed by first writing the number (0-
29H) of the desired register to port 3F0H (or 370H) and then writing or reading the configuration register through port
3F1H (or 371H).
Exit Configuration Mode
The configuration mode is exited by writing an AAH to port 3F0H (or 370H).

The following is an example of a configuration program in Intel 8086 assembly language.

*Stresses above those listed above could cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and
functional operation of the device at any other condition above those indicated in the operation sections of this
specification is not implied.
Note: When powering this device from laboratory or system power supplies, it is important that the Absolute Maximum
Ratings not be exceeded or device failure can result. Some power supplies exhibit voltage spikes on their outputs when
the AC power is switched on or off. In addition, voltage transients on the AC power line may appear on the DC output. If
this possibility exists, it is suggested that a clamp circuit be used.

What they say about us
FANTASTIC RESOURCE
One of our top priorities is maintaining our business with precision, and we are constantly looking for affiliates that can help us achieve our goal. With the aid of GID Industrial, our obsolete product management has never been more efficient. They have been a great resource to our company, and have quickly become a go-to supplier on our list!
Bucher Emhart Glass
EXCELLENT SERVICE
With our strict fundamentals and high expectations, we were surprised when we came across GID Industrial and their competitive pricing. When we approached them with our issue, they were incredibly confident in being able to provide us with a seamless solution at the best price for us. GID Industrial quickly understood our needs and provided us with excellent service, as well as fully tested product to ensure what we received would be the right fit for our company.

HARD TO FIND A BETTER PROVIDER
Our company provides services to aid in the manufacture of technological products, such as semiconductors and flat panel displays, and often searching for distributors of obsolete product we require can waste time and money. Finding GID Industrial proved to be a great asset to our company, with cost effective solutions and superior knowledge on all of their materials, it’d be hard to find a better provider of obsolete or hard to find products.
Applied Materials
CONSISTENTLY DELIVERS QUALITY SOLUTIONS
Over the years, the equipment used in our company becomes discontinued, but they’re still of great use to us and our customers. Once these products are no longer available through the manufacturer, finding a reliable, quick supplier is a necessity, and luckily for us, GID Industrial has provided the most trustworthy, quality solutions to our obsolete component needs.

TERRIFIC RESOURCE
This company has been a terrific help to us (I work for Trican Well Service) in sourcing the Micron Ram Memory we needed for our Siemens computers. Great service! And great pricing! I know when the product is shipping and when it will arrive, all the way through the ordering process.

GO TO SOURCE
When I can't find an obsolete part, I first call GID and they'll come up with my parts every time. Great customer service and follow up as well. Scott emails me from time to time to touch base and see if we're having trouble finding something.....which is often with our 25 yr old equipment.
