EXTENSION REGISTERS

External Data (CL-PD6722 only, Socket A, Index 6Fh)
Bits 7:0 — External Data
This register is updated and accessed according to the setting of bits 3 and 4 of the Socket B
Ex-
tension Control 2
register (Index 6Fh, Extended Index 0Bh).
NOTE:
For software compatibility of external data access accross the Cirrus Logic PC Card host adapter product
line, the Socket B
External Data
register should only be used as a readport and not as a writeport. Also
for compatibility, only the lower nibble of
External Data
should be accessed and the upper nibble should be
ignored. For software compatibility with VS1# and VS2# detection software, when Socket B is used as a read
port, socket VS1# and VS2# signals should be connected to the external read buffer as shown in
Figure 13-1
on page 82
.
Refer to
Chapter 12
for more information on the use of the
External Data
register, and
Chapter 13
for more information on VS1# and VS2# detection.

External read port: B_GPSTB is a read buffer enable for external data on
SD[15:8].

External write port: B_GPSTB is a write latch enable for SD[15:8] to get
latched to an external register. Reads of Socket B External Data register pro-
duce the value written to the latch.
