3.7.1 PC Card Functional and Card Status Change Interrupts
PC Card functional interrupts are defined as requests from a PC Card application for interrupt service and are
indicated by asserting specially-defined signals on the PC Card interface. Functional interrupts are generated by
16-bit I/O PC Cards and by CardBus PC Cards.
Card status change (CSC)-type interrupts are defined as events at the PC Card interface that are detected by the
PCI7x21/PCI7x11 controller and may warrant notification of host card and socket services software for service. CSC
events include both card insertion and removal from PC Card sockets, as well as transitions of certain PC Card
signals.
Table 3−10 summarizes the sources of PC Card interrupts and the type of card associated with them. CSC and
functional interrupt sources are dependent on the type of card inserted in the PC Card socket. The four types of cards
that can be inserted into any PC Card socket are:
•
16-bit memory card
•
16-bit I/O card
• CardBus cards
•
UltraMedia card

Functional interrupt events are valid only for 16-bit I/O and CardBus cards; that is, the functional interrupts are not
valid for 16-bit memory cards. Furthermore, card insertion and removal-type CSC interrupts are independent of the
card type.
