SiI0680A PCI to IDE/ATA 
Data Sheet
absence of an ATA/ATAPI device at power-up.  It is recommended that a 10k
 pull-down resistor is recommended to be 
connected to this pin.  
IDE1 Chip Select 
Pin Names: IDE1_CS0_N; IDE1_CS1_N  
Pin Numbers: 64, 65 
These are the chip select signals from the host used to select the Command Block or Control Block registers. When 
IDE1_DMACK_N is asserted, IDE1_CS0_N and  IDE1_CS1_N shall be negated and transfers shall be 16 bits wide. 
IDE1 Disk Address

 2006 Silicon Image, Inc.  
SiI-DS-0069-C
26 
Pin Names: IDE1_DA[2..0] 
Pin Numbers: 68, 67, 66 
Disk Address bits 0 through 2 are normally outputs to the ATA connector to select the register in the drive’s Command Block 
register.  IDE1_DA [2:0] sends address signals to the secondary channel.  These address signals are decoded from the 
PCI_AD[2:0] and PCI_CBE[3:0] inputs.   
IDE1 Disk I/O Read 
Pin Name: IDE1_DIOR_N 
Pin Number: 69 
This is an active low output which enables data to be read from the drive.  The duration and repetition rate of IDE1_DIOR_N 
cycles is determined by programming the SiI 0680A PIO timing registers.  IDE1_DIOR_N to the secondary channel is driven 
high when inactive.  This signal is defined as HSTROBE in Ultra DMA write mode to write data to the secondary channel drive.  
This signal is also defined as secondary channel HDMARDY_N in Ultra DMA read mode. 
IDE1 Disk I/O Write 
Pin Name: IDE1_DIOW_N 
Pin Number: 70 
This is an active low output that enables data to be written to the drive.  The duration and repetition rate of IDE1_DIOW_N 
cycles is determined by programming the SiI 0680A PIO timing registers.  IDE1_DIOW_N to the Secondary channel is driven 
high when inactive.  This signal is also defined as secondary channel STOP in Ultra DMA mode.   
IDE1 Cable Detect 
Pin Names: IDE1_CBLID_N 
Pin Number: 71 
IDE1_CBLID_N (Cable Detect) determines the type of cable attached to the primary channel. In general, a low on this pin 
indicates that a 40 conductor cable is attached. A high indicates that an 80 conductor cable is attached. Refer to the 
ATA/ATAPI-6 Specification for complete details. 
IDE1 DMA Acknowledge 
Pin Name: IDE1_DMACK_N  
Pin Number: 74 
This signal is normally used by the SiI 0680A in response to IDE1_DMARQ to either acknowledge that the secondary channel 
is ready to accept data, or that data is available.  This signal is also used to write CRC code to the secondary channel drive at 
the end of each Ultra DMA burst transfer. 
IDE1 Interrupt Request 
Pin Name: IDE1_INTRQ 
Pin Number: 75 
Primary channel interrupt request is an input signal used to generate the PCI_INTA_N output. This input should have a 10k
pull-down resistor connected to it.     
IDE1 I/O Ready
