These signals indicate which byte in either the ATA command block or control block is being addressed. If the IDE signals are configured for Primary and Secondary, these signals are connected to the corresponding signals on the Primary IDE connector.
  • Page 38 ECB-862/862L PDIOR# Primary Disk IO Read. In normal IDE this is the command to the IDE device that it may drive data onto the PDD [15:0] lines. Data is latched by PIIX4 on the negation edge of PDIOR#. The IDE device is selected either by the ATA register file chip selects (PDCS1#, PDCS3#) and the PDA [2:0] lines, or the IDE DMA slave arbitration signals (PDDACK#).
  • Page 39 User’s Manual PDIORDY Primary IO Channel Ready. In normal IDE mode, this input signal is directly driven by the corresponding IDE device IORDY signal. In an Ultra DMA/33 read cycle, this signal is used as STROBE, with the PIIX4 latching data on rising and falling edges of STROBE.
