Notes:

1

The power controller is required only for applications that support hot-insertion
and hot-removal of the CardBus card. This requires additional components to
isolate NS9750 from CardBus.

2

The system must provide external pullup per PCI specification. CAD, C/BE, and
PAR do not require pullups.

3

Voltage detection signal optional for embedded system.

4

Pins not connected because internal resistors tie these to the appropriate state.

Configuring NS9750 for CardBus support

Although many CardBus signals are the same as those for the PCI bus, there are some
unique signals. Table 285 lists the new signals and indicates the PCI signals with which
they are multiplexed for NS9750.

PCI Signal

CardBus
Signal

CardBus type

Comments

INTA#

CINT#

Input

Cardbus interrupt pin. INTA2PCI in the PCI
Miscellaneous Support register must be 0.

INTB#

CCLKRUN#

Bidir

CardBus pin used to negotiate with the external
CardBus device before stopping the clock. Also
allows external CardBus device to request that the
clock be restarted.

INTC#

CSTSCHG

Input

CardBus status change interrupt signal.

GNT1#

CGNT#

Output

Grant to external CardBus device from NS9750’s
internal arbiter.

GNT2#

CVS1

Output

Voltage sense pin. Normally driven low by NS9750,
but toggled during interrogation of external CardBus
device to detect voltage requirements.

GNT3#

CVS2

Output

Voltage sense pin. Normally driven low by NS9750
but toggled during interrogation of external CardBus
device to detect voltage requirements.

REQ1#

CREQ#

Input

Request from external CardBus device to NS9750’s
internal arbiter.
