LPC/FWH Interface Configuration

Bit

Description

 

 

7:5

ICW/OCW select. These bits should be 000 when programming the IFB.

 

 

4

ICW/OCW select. Bit 4 must be a 1 to select ICW1. After the fixed initialization sequence to

 

ICW1, ICW2, ICW3, and ICW4, the controller base address is used to write to OCW2 and

 

OCW3. Bit 4 is a 0 on writes to these registers. A 1 on this bit at any time will force the interrupt

 

controller to interpret the write as an ICW1. The controller will then expect to see ICW2, ICW3,

 

and ICW4.

 

 

3

Edge/Level Bank Select (LTIM). This bit is disabled. Its Function is replaced by the Edge/

 

Level Triggered Control (ELCR) Registers.

 

 

2

ADI. Ignored for the IFB. This bit should be programmed to ‘0’.

 

 

1

Single or Cascade (SNGL). This bit must be programmed to a 0.

 

 

0

ICW4 Write Required (IC4). This bit must be set to a 1.

 

 

11.2.2.2Icw2–Initialization Command Word 2 Register (I/O)

I/O Address:

INT CNTRL-1–021h; INT CNTRL-2–0A1h

Default Value:

All bits undefined

Attribute:

Write Only

ICW2 is used to initialize the interrupt controller with the five most significant bits of the interrupt vector address.

Bit

Description

 

 

7:3

Interrupt Vector Base Address. Bits [7:3] define the base address in the interrupt vector table

 

for the interrupt routines associated with each interrupt request level input.

 

 

2:0

Interrupt Request Level. Must be programmed to all 0s.

 

 

11.2.2.3Icw3–Initialization Command Word 3 Register (I/O)

I/O Address:

INT CNTRL-1–021h

Default Value:

All bits undefined

Attribute:

Write Only

The meaning of ICW3 differs between CNTRL-1 and CNTRL-2. On CNTRL-1, the master controller, ICW3 indicates which CNTRL-1 IRQ line physically connects the INTR output of CNTRL-2 to CNTRL-1.

Bit

Description

7:3 Reserved. Must be programmed to all 0s.

2Cascaded Mode Enable. This bit must be programmed to 1 selecting cascade mode.

1:0 Reserved. Must be programmed to all 0s.
