ATA Bus Background
11.7.3.1 ATA Register Addressing
The address used to reference an ATA drive register. This is the actual address (CS[1]FX, CS[3]FX, DA[2:0]) present on the physical ATA
interface. Table 11-37 gives details.
11.7.3.2 Drive Interrupt
A pending drive interrupt is cleared by the following actions:
• Read of status (not the alternate status) register
• Write to command register
11.7.3.3 Sector Addressing
Sector addressing is the address used to reference data on the drive. It is the address used by the low-level drivers to access a particular piece
of data and to place it into one or more ATA registers as part of a command block. To understand the data addressing, it is necessary to
understand the physical organization of data in a drive, as presented in Figure 11-1. Each drive contains a number of disks, each with one or
two heads (one head per surface). Each disk is divided into concentric tracks that are then divided into a number of sectors. A sector is the
smallest unit of data that can be written or read by a drive. The collections of tracks that can be accessed by the heads at a single position is
called a cylinder. Therefore, a sector can be uniquely identified by a sector number, a head number and a cylinder number. From this
addressing scheme there are two ways to address an individual sector: physical addressing and logical block addressing, which are described
in the next two sections.
