FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION (cont’d)
Two mailbox registers provide a separate path for
passing control words or status words between ports.
Each mailbox has a New-Mail-Alert Flag, which is syn-
chronized to the reading port’s clock. This mailbox func-
tion facilitates the synchronization of data transfers
between asynchronous systems.
Data-bypass mode allows Port A to directly transfer
data to or from Port B at reset. In this mode, the device
acts as a registered transceiver under the control of
Port A. For instance, a master processor on Port A can
use the data bypass feature to send or receive initializa-
tion or configuration information directly, to or from a
peripheral device on Port B, during system startup.
A word-width-select option is provided on Port B for
36-bit, 18-bit, or 9-bit data access. This feature allows
word-width matching between Port A and Port B, with no
additional logic needed. It also ensures maximum utiliza-
tion of bus bandwidths.
A Byte Parity Check Flag at each port monitors data
integrity. Control-Register bit 0 (zero) selects the parity
mode, odd or even. This bit is initialized for odd data parity
at reset; but it may be reprogrammed for even parity, or
back again to odd parity, as desired.
