2.4.19.1.6 Interrupts

Signal

Signal Description

IRQ[3:7], IRQ[9:12]

IRQ[14:15]

These signals are active high signals, which indicate the presence of an

interrupting PC-AT/PC104 bus adapter. Due to the use of pull-ups, unused

interrupt inputs must be masked.

2.4.19.1.7 Bus Arbitration

Signal

Signal Description

DRQ[0:3], DRQ[5:7]

These signals are active high signals driven by a DMA bus adapter to indicate a

request for a DMA bus operation. DRQ [0:3] request 8 bit DMA operations, while

DRQ [5:7] request 16 bit operations. All bus DMA adapters will drive these lines

with a tri-state driver. The permanent master monitors these signals to determine

which of the DMA devices, if any, are requesting the bus.

DACK[0:3]#,

DACK[5:7]#

These signals are active low signals driven by the permanent master to indicate

that a DMA operation can begin. They are continuously driven by a totem pole

driver for DMA channels attached.

AEN

This signal is an active high totem pole signal driven by the permanent master to

indicate that the address lines are driven by the DMA controller. The assertion of

AEN disables response to I/O port addresses when I/O command strobes are

asserted. AEN being asserted, only the device with active DACKn# should

respond.

REFRESH#

This is an active low signal driven by the current master to indicate a memory

refresh operation. The current master will drive this line with a tri-state driver.

TC

This active high signal is asserted during a read or write command indicating that

the DMA controller has reached a terminal count for the current transfer. DACKn#

must be presented by the bus adapter to validate the TC signal.

MASTER#

This signal is not supported by the chipset.
