INTERRUPT SELECT: Selects the interrupt signal. Read only. Same as
BMPR19<6:7>.

0, 1, 2
I
SYSTEM BUS HIGH ENABLE: Active low. This pin is the byte/word
control line. It is used only when EtherCoupler is configured for a 16-bit
data bus by the SB/SW bit, DLCR6<5>. It allows word, upper byte only or
lower byte only transfers. The address select pin SA0 is used with SBHE
for byte or word transfers as follows:
SB/SW
SBHE
SA0

Byte transfer on lower half of
data bus (SD7-0)
0

I
CHIP SELECT: Active low signal which, when set to 0, selects the
EtherCoupler chip.
156
RESET
0, 1, 2, 3
I
CHIP RESET: Resets the chip internal pointers and initializes internal
registers and logic.
154
IOR
0, 1, 2, 3
I
INPUT/OUTPUT READ: Active low signal from the system bus which
indicates that the current bus cycle is a read operation.
155
IOW
0, 1, 2, 3
I
INPUT/OUTPUT WRITE: Active low signal from the system bus which
indicates that the current bus cycle is a write operation.
153
SMEMRD
0, 1, 2
I
SYSTEM MEMORY READ: Active low signal from the system bus that
indicates the current bus cycle is in a memory-read operation. Used for
Boot ROM Chip Select (BRCS).
152
AEN
0, 1, 2
I
ADDRESS ENABLE: When asserted indicates that a DMA transfer is
taking place.
124
EOP(EOP)
0, 1, 2, 3
I
END OF PROCESS: When asserted by the DMA controller, indicates that
an entire packet has been transferred between buffer memory and the
host system.
129
ALE
0, 1, 2
I
ADDRESS LATCH ENABLE: Provided by the system to latch valid
addresses.
125
DMACK
0, 1, 2, 3
I
DMA ACKNOWLEDGE: Active low signal which indicates that the DMA
controller is ready to transfer data between the host system and the
EtherCoupler buffer memory.
15
BRCS
0, 1, 2
O
BOOT ROM CHIP SELECT: Active low signal which indicates that the
current memory access is to Boot ROM.
