Functional Specification

Address Mapping

Attribute Memory - 0000h to 1FFFh, 8 KBytes (Read/Write)

Attribute memory is used for recording CIS (Card Information Structure) and is only par-

tially decoded (when A13 is low). Read/write of repeated data occurs every other 8 KByte

block.

Configuration Register - 2000h (Read/Write)

This register is also partially decoded (only when A13 is high). Read/write of the same

range gets the same data or changes this register.

I/O Address - 340h to 35Fh or 140h to 15Fh

Overlapping Address Mode is used in the design for software compatibility with the cur-

rent ASPI driver. Check the AIC-6360 Data Book for port definitions.

Special purpose port: Port B (35Bh or 15Bh) - write only

Common Memory

Common Memory is not applicable for the APA-1460.

In the PCMCIA Specification, this bit is defined as Lev1IREQ. In fact, this is the way the host notifies the card which interrupt protocol

should be used for the host’s acceptance. When it is set, the host recognizes the interrupt in Level Mode (interrupt must stay active till

accepted). When it is reset, the host recognizes the interrupt in Pulsed Mode (accepted by signal transition). In this design, because the

interrupt signal is fully controlled by the AIC-6360 internal register, we can choose either Level or Pulsed Mode interrupt through soft-

ware. In the CIS, the default interrupt mode is set to level mode. Currently there is no internal function circuit attached to it.
