1.3 System Design Using the IT8368E PC Card Buffer
If the system designer uses an ITE IT8368E PC Card and multiple-function IO buffer, the
S1D13504 can be interfaced with the PR31500/PR31700 without using a PC Card slot. Instead, the
S1D13504 is mapped to a rarely-used 16M byte portion of the PC Card slot buffered by the
IT8368E. This makes the S1D13504 virtually transparent to PC Card devices that use the same slot.
1.3.1 Hardware Description—Using One IT8368E
The ITE IT8368E has been specifically designed to support EPSON CRT/LCD controllers. The
IT8368E provides eleven Multi-Function IO pins (MFIO). Configuration registers can be used to
allow these MFIO pins to provide the control signals required to implement the S1D13504 CPU
interface.
The Philips PR31500/PR31700 processor only provides addresses A[12:0], therefore devices that
occupy more address space must use an external device to latch A[25:13]. The IT8368E’s MFIO
pins can be configured to provide this latched address. However, when using the S1D13504, five
MFIO pins are utilized for S1D13504 control signals and cannot provide latched addresses. In this
case, an external latch must be used to provide the high-order address bits. For a solution that does
not require a latch, refer to Section 1.3.2,
