PC/104 Interface (J1A,B,C,D)

The PC/104 Bus uses a 104-pin 100 mil header interface. This interface header will carry all of the appropriate PC/104 signals operating at clock speeds up to 8MHz. This interface header accepts stackable modules and is located on the top of the board.

 

NOTE

To conform to the PC/104 standard, keys have been inserted into

 

 

 

 

specific pins in the PC/104 connector (B10, C19).

Pin #

Signal

Description (J1 Row A)

 

 

1 (A1)

IOCHCHK*

I/O Channel Check – This signal may be activated by ISA boards to

 

 

 

 

request that a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) be generated to the system

 

 

 

 

processor. It is driven active to indicate uncorrectable error detection.

 

 

2 (A2)

SD7

System Data 7 – This signal (0 to 19) provides a system data bit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3 (A3)

SD6

System Data 6 – Refer to SD7, pin-A2, for more information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4 (A4)

SD5

System Data 5 – Refer to SD7, pin-A2, for more information.

 

 

5 (A5)

SD4

System Data 4 – Refer to SD7, pin-A2, for more information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6 (A6)

SD3

System Data 3 – Refer to SD7, pin-A2, for more information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7 (A7)

SD2

System Data 2 – Refer to SD7, pin-A2, for more information.

 

 

8 (A8)

SD1

System Data 1 – Refer to SD7, pin-A2, for more information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9 (A9)

SD0

System Data 0 – Refer to SD7, pin-A2, for more information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10 (A10)

IOCHRDY

I/O Channel Ready – This signal allows slower ISA boards to lengthen

 

 

 

 

I/O or memory cycles by inserting wait states. This signal’s normal state

 

 

 

 

is active high (ready). ISA boards drive the signal inactive low (not

 

 

 

 

ready) to insert wait states. Devices using this signal to insert wait states

 

 

 

 

should drive it low immediately after detecting a valid address decode and

 

 

 

 

an active read, or write command. The signal is released high when the

 

 

 

 

device is ready to complete the cycle.

 

 

11 (A11)

AEN

Address Enable – This signal is used to degate the system processor and

 

 

 

 

other devices from the bus during DMA transfers. When this signal is

 

 

 

 

active, the system DMA controller has control of the address, data, and

 

 

 

 

read/write signals. This signal should be included as part of ISA board

 

 

 

 

select decodes to prevent incorrect board selects during DMA cycles.

 

 

12 (A12)

SA19

System Address 19 – This signal (0 to 19) provides a system address bit.

 

 

13 (A13)

SA18

System Address 18 – Refer to SA19, pin-A12, for more information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

14 (A14)

SA17

System Address 17 – Refer to SA19, pin-A12, for more information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

15 (A15)

SA16

System Address 16 – Refer to SA19, pin-A12, for more information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

16 (A16)

SA15

System Address 15 – Refer to SA19, pin-A12, for more information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

17 (A17)

SA14

System Address 14 – Refer to SA19, pin-A12, for more information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

18 (A18)

SA13

System Address 13 – Refer to SA19, pin-A12, for more information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

19 (A19)

SA12

System Address 12– Refer to SA19, pin-A12, for more information.

 

 

20 (A20)

SA11

System Address 11 – Refer to SA19, pin-A12, for more information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

21 (A21)

SA10

System Address 10 – Refer to SA19, pin-A12, for more information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

22 (A22)

SA9

System Address 9 – Refer to SA19, pin-A12, for more information.
