Sysfail Inhibit

A24/A32 Enable: A one (1) in this field enables access to the device’s A24
VME Bus registers. A zero (0) disables such access.

Sysfail Inhibit: A one (1) disables the device from driving the SYSFAIL* line.

Reset: A one (1) forces the device into a reset state.

q

Offset Register: This read/write register defines the base address of the device ’s A24
registers. The four most significant bits of the Offset register are the values of the four
most significant bits of the device’s A24 register addresses. The 12 least significant
bits of the Offset register are always zero (0). Thus, the Offset register bits 15-12 map
the VME Bus address lines A23-A20 for A24 register accesses. A read of the Offset
register always returns the address offset most recently written to the Offset register.

q

Port Control Register: This register is used to override the Local Bus control of the

(0) disables the local bus interface. RESET VALUE: 0
