Note:
• The area that can be specified by IOA is between 000000H and 00FFFFH.
• The area that can be specified by BAP is between 000000H and FFFFFFH.
• The maximum transfer count that can be specified by DCT is 65,536.
■Structure
EI2OS is handled by the following 4 sections:
Internal resources
Interrupt enable and request bits: Used to control interrupt requests from resources.
Interrupt controller
ICR: Assigns interrupt levels, determines the priority levels of simultaneously requested interrupts, and
selects the EI2OS operation.
CPU
I and ILM: Used to compare the requested and current interrupt levels and to identify the interrupt
enable status
Microcode: EI2OS processing step
RAM
Descriptor: Describes the EI2OS transfer information.

I/O requests transfer.
Interrupt controller selects descriptor.
Transfer source and destination
are read from descriptor.
Data is transferred between I/O
and memory.
