Signal

Descriptions (J1 Row B)

47 (B15)

DACK3*

DMA Acknowledge 3 – Used by DMA controller to select the I/O

 

 

resource requesting the bus, or to request ownership of the bus as a bus

 

 

master device. Can also be used by the ISA bus master to gain control of

 

 

the bus from the DMA controller.

48 (B16)

DRQ3

DMA Request 3 – Used by I/O resources to request DMA service. Must

 

 

be held high until associated DACK3 line is active.

49 (B17)

DACK1*

DMA Acknowledge 1 – Used by DMA controller to select the I/O

 

 

resource requesting the bus, or to request ownership of the bus as a bus

 

 

master device. Can also be used by the ISA bus master to gain control of

 

 

the bus from the DMA controller.

50 (B18)

DRQ1

DMA Request 1 – Used by I/O resources to request DMA service. Must

 

 

be held high until associated DACK1 line is active.

51 (B19)

REFRESH*

Memory Refresh – This signal is driven low to indicate a memory refresh

 

 

cycle is in progress. Memory is refreshed every 15.6 usec.

52 (B20)

SYSCLK

System Clock – This is a free running clock typically in the 8MHz to

 

 

10MHz range, although its exact frequency is not guaranteed.

53 (B21)

IRQ7

Interrupt Request 7 – Asserted by a device when it has pending interrupt

 

 

request. Only one device may use the request line at a time.

54 (B22)

IRQ6

Interrupt Request 6 – Asserted by a device when it has pending interrupt

 

 

request. Only one device may use the request line at a time.

55 (B23)

IRQ5

Interrupt Request 5 – Asserted by a device when it has pending interrupt

 

 

request. Only one device may use the request line at a time.

56 (B24)

IRQ4

Interrupt Request 4 – Asserted by a device when it has pending interrupt

 

 

request. Only one device may use the request line at a time.

57 (B25)

IRQ3

Interrupt Request 3 – Asserted by a device when it has pending interrupt

 

 

request. Only one device may use the request line at a time.

58 (B26)

DACK2*

DMA Acknowledge 2 – Used by DMA controller to select the I/O

 

 

resource requesting the bus, or to request ownership of the bus as a bus

 

 

master device. Can also be used by the ISA bus master to gain control of

 

 

the bus from the DMA controller.

59 (B27)

TC

Terminal Count – This signal is a pulse to indicate a terminal count has

 

 

been reached on a DMA channel operation.

60 (B28)

BALE

Buffered Address Latch Enable – This signal is used to latch the LA23 to

 

 

LA17 signals or decodes of these signals. Addresses are latched on the

 

 

falling edge of BALE. It is forced high during DMA cycles. When used

 

 

with AENx, it indicates a valid processor or DMA address.

61 (B29)

+5V

+5 volt power ±10%

62 (B30)

OSC

Oscillator – This clock signal operates at 14.3MHz. This signal is not

 

 

synchronous with the system clock (SYSCLK).

63 (B31)

GND

Ground

64 (B32)

GND

Ground

 

 

 

Notes: The shaded area denotes power or ground. The signals marked with * = Negative true logic.
