PIN DESCRIPTION
Name Number I/O Description
GNDD 1, 24, 61, 78 I Digital ground.
A[11:0] 13:2 I ISA address bus.
AEN 14 I ISA address valid when active-low, DMA when high.
VDDD 15, 74, 100 I Digital power supply (3.0 - 5.5 V).
D[7:0] 23:16 I/O ISA data bus. 24 mA drivers.
SW(A-D) 28:25 I Joystick switch inputs. These pins have internal pull-ups to VDDD.

XA[3:0] 51, 52, 53, 54 I/O Bidirectional differential transmitter/receivers. Expansion audio bus. These are analog sig-
nals that are DC-coupled to the corresponding pins of the ES978.
GNDA 55 I Analog ground.
XSD 56 I/O Expansion serial bus data I/O. High-impedance when DOCKED = 0.
XSC 57 O/Hi Z Expansion serial bus clock and frame sync. High-impedance when DOCKED = 0.
IPROM 58 I Select between internal PnP ROM and external EEPROM for Plug and Play configuration.
1 = internal ROM, 0 = external EEPROM. ES1878 function PNPEN is replaced by bit 2 of
PnP Vendor register 2Dh.
MSO 59 O MIDI serial output.
MSI 60 I MIDI serial input. MSI has an internal pull-up to VDDD.
