I

I/O Channel Ready. The signal is negated

 

(True IDE

register access.

 

 

 

 

 

 

-IORD

25

I

Device I/O Read. This is the read strobe

 

(True IDE

 

 

signal from the host. The falling edge of

 

mode)

 

 

IORD enables data from the device onto

 

 

 

 

the data bus. The rising edge of IORD

 

 

 

 

latches data at the host. The host does not

 

 

 

 

act on the data until it is latched.

 

 

 

 

 

 

-DDMARDY

 

 

When UDMA mode DMA write is active in

all modes, this signal is asserted by the

device during a data burst to indicate that

the device is ready to receive UDMA data-

 

 

 

 

out bursts.

 

 

 

 

The device may negate -DDMARDY to

 

 

 

 

pause a UDMA transfer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

DSTROBE

 

 

When UDMA mode DMA read is active in

 

(UDMA read

 

 

all modes, this signal is the data in strobe

and falling edge of DSTROBE cause data

 

 

 

 

to be latched by the host. The device may

 

 

 

 

stop generating DSTROBE edges to pause

 

 

 

 

a UDMA data-in burst.

 

 

 

 

 

 

-IOWR

23

I

Device I/O Write. This is the write strobe

 

(True IDE

 

 

signal from the host. The rising edge of

 

mode)

 

 

IOWR# latches data from the data bit

 

 

 

 

signals. The device does not act on the

data until it is latched.

-HDMARDY

(UDMA read protocol active)

When UDMA mode DMA read is active in all modes, this signal is asserted by the host to indicate that the host is ready to receive UDMA data-in bursts. The host may negate -HDMARDY to pause a UDMA transfer.
