Direction

Description

 

 

 

PORT_ID[7:0]

Output

Port Address: The I/O port address appears on this port for two CLK cycles

 

 

during an INPUT or OUTPUT instruction.

 

 

 

READ_STROBE

Output

Read Strobe: When asserted High, this signal indicates that input data on the

 

 

IN_PORT[7:0] port was captured to the specified data register during an

 

 

INPUT instruction. This signal is asserted on the second CLK cycle of the two-

 

 

cycle INPUT instruction. This signal is typically used to acknowledge read

 

 

operations from FIFOs.

 

 

 

WRITE_STROBE

Output

Write Strobe: When asserted High, this signal validates the output data on the

 

 

OUT_PORT[7:0] port during an OUTPUT instruction. This signal is asserted

 

 

on the second CLK cycle of the two-cycle OUTPUT instruction. Capture

 

 

output data within the FPGA on the rising CLK edge when WRITE_STROBE

 

 

is High.

 

 

 

INTERRUPT_ACK

Output

Interrupt Acknowledge: When asserted High, this signal acknowledges that

 

 

an INTERRUPT Event occurred. This signal is asserted during the second CLK

 

 

cycle of the two-cycle INTERRUPT Event. This signal is optionally used to

 

 

clear the source of the INTERRUPT input.
