Pin # Signal Description
25 PIOR* Drive I/O Read – Strobe signal for read functions. Negative edge enables data
from a register or data port of the drive onto the host data bus. Positive edge
latches data at the host.
26 GND Digital Ground
27 IOChRdy I/O Channel Ready – When negated, extends the host transfer cycle of any host
register access when the drive is not ready to respond to a data transfer request.
High impedance if asserted.
28 Reserved Reserved – Not used (through 470 ohm resistor to ground)
29 PDACK* DMA Channel Acknowledge – Used by the host to acknowledge data has been
accepted or data is available. Used in response to DMARQ asserted.
30 GND Digital Ground
31 PIRQ Interrupt Request – Asserted (IRQ 14) by drive when it has pending interrupt
request (PIO transfer of data to or from the drive to the host).
32 NC Not connected
33 LA18 Latch Address 18 – Used to indicate which byte in the ATA command block or
control block is being accessed.
34 NC Not connected (through 0.047 µf capacitor to ground)
35 LA17 Latch Address 17 – Used to indicate which byte in the ATA command block or
control block is being accessed.
36 LA19 Latch Address 19 – Used to indicate which byte in the ATA command block or
control block is being accessed
37 IDE_PCS1 IDE Chip Select 1 – Used to select the host-accessible Command Block Register.
38 IDE_PCS3 IDE Chip Select 3 – Used to select the host-accessible Command Block Register.
39 Reserved Reserved – Not used
40 GND Digital Ground
41 +5V +5 volts ±5% power supply
42 +5V +5 volts ±5% power supply
43 GND Digital Ground
44 NC Not connected
Notes: The shaded area denotes power or ground. The signals marked with * indicate active low.
