CONFIGURATION SEQUENCE
To program the configuration registers, the
following sequence must be followed:
1. Enter Configuration Mode
2. Configure the Configuration Registers
3. Exit Configuration Mode.
Enter Configuration Mode
To
place
the
chip
into
the
Configuration State the Config Key is sent to
the chip's CONFIG PORT. The config key
consists of 0x55 written to the CONFIG PORT.
Once the configuration key is received correctly
the chip enters into the Configuration State
(The auto Config ports are enabled).
Configuration Mode
The system sets the logical device information
and activates desired logical devices through
the INDEX and DATA ports. In configuration
mode, the INDEX PORT is located at the
CONFIG PORT address and the DATA PORT is
at INDEX PORT address + 1.
The desired configuration registers are accessed
in two steps:
a. Write the index of the Logical Device
Number Configuration Register (i.e., 0x07) to
the INDEX PORT and then write the number
of the desired logical device to the DATA
PORT
b. Write
the
address
of
the
desired
configuration
register
within
the
logical
device to the INDEX PORT and then write or
read the configuration register through the
DATA PORT.
Note: If accessing the Global Configuration
Registers, step (a) is not required.
Exit Configuration Mode
To exit the Configuration State the
system
writes 0xAA to the CONFIG PORT.
The chip
returns to the RUN State.
Note: Only two states are defined (Run and
Configuration).
In the Run State the chip will
always be ready to enter the Configuration
State.
