Bit Mnemonic Description
15-8r/w A16HIGH[7-0] A16 Window Upper Bound Bits
These bits define the upper limit of the range of MXIbus A16
addresses that map into the VXIbus.
7-0r/w A16LOW[7-0] A16 Window Lower Bound Bits
These bits define the lower limit of the range of MXIbus A16
addresses that map into the VXIbus.
This register defines the range of MXIbus A16 addresses that map into the VXIbus where that
range is: A16HIGH > range A16LOW
The VXIbus A16 addresses mapped out of the VXI-MXI are the inverse of this range, that is,
MXIbus A16 addresses greater than or equal to the A16HIGH value or less than the A16LOW
value.
To map a consecutive range of VXIbus A16 addresses out of the VXI-MXI, the lower bound of
the range must be placed in the A16HIGH field and the upper bound in the A16LOW field. In
this case, the range of VXIbus A16 addresses mapped out of the VXI-MXI is:
A16LOW > range A16HIGH
The MXIbus A16 addresses mapped into the VXIbus are the inverse of this range, that is,
VXIbus A16 addresses greater than or equal to the A16LOW value or less than the A16HIGH
value.
The window is disabled whenever A16HIGH = A16LOW = 0. All VXIbus A16 addresses are
mapped out to the MXIbus when:
FF (hex) (A16HIGH = A16LOW) 80 (hex)
All MXIbus A16 addresses are mapped into the VXIbus when:
7F (hex) (A16HIGH = A16LOW) > 0
