I

-CSEL

CABLE SELECT

This internally pulled up signal is used to

 

 

 

 

configure the drives as the Master or the

 

 

 

 

Slave device. When the pin is grounded, the

 

 

 

 

device is configured as a Master. When the

 

 

 

 

pin is open, the device is configured as a

 

 

 

 

Slave.

INTERRUPT REQUEST

This is an interrupt request from the

 

 

 

 

controller to the host, asking for service.

 

 

 

 

This signal is the active high Interrupt

 

 

 

 

Request to the host.

This address line (A1) is used to select one

 

 

 

 

of eight registers in the controller Task File.

 

 

 

 

 

34

I/O

-PDIAG

 

After an Executive diagnostic command to

 

 

 

 

indicate to the Master it has passed its

 

 

 

 

diagnostics, this bi-directional open drain

 

 

 

 

signal is asserted by the Slave.

 

 

 

 

 

35

I
