Description

-DMACK
(True IDE Mode)

This signal is used by the host in response to
DMARQ to initiate DMA transfers.

NOTE: This signal may be negated by the host
to suspend the DMS transfer in process. For
Multiword DMA transfers, the device may
negate DMARQ with the t

L

specified time once

the DMACK- is asserted and reasserted again
at a later time to resume DMA operation.
Alternatively, if the device is able to continue
the data transfer, the device may leave
DMARQ asserted and wait for the host to
reassert DMACK-.

Configuration Option Register is set.

In the True IDE Mode this input pin is the active
low hardware reset from the host.

writing the configuration registers.

In True IDE Mode this input signal is not used
and should be connected to VCC by the host.
