Mode 1 parallel interface
In Mode 1 the IMS C011link adaptor is configuredas a parallelperipheral interfacewith handshakelines.
Communication with a transputer family device is via the serial link. The parallel interface comprises an
input port and an output port, both with handshake.
5.1
Input port
The eight bitparallel input port
I0-7
canbe readby a transputer familydevice viathe seriallink.
IValid
and
IAck
provide a simple two-wire handshake for this port. When data is valid on
I0-7
,
IValid
is taken high
by the peripheraldevice to commence thehandshake. The link adaptor transmitsdata presented on
I0-7
outthroughtheseriallink.Afterthedata bytetransmissionhasbeen completedandanacknowledgepack-
et is received on the input link, the IMS C011 sets
IAck
high. Tocomplete the handshake,the peripheral
device must return
IValid
low. The link adaptor will then set
IAck
low. New data should not be put onto
I0-7
until
IAck
is returned low.

1 Unit of measurementis one linkdata bit time; at 10 Mbits/s data link speed, one bit time isnomi-
nally 100 ns.
2 Maximum timeassumesthere isno acknowledge packetalready on thelink. Maximum timewith
acknowledge on the link is extended by 2 bits.
3 Both data transmission and the returned acknowledge must be completed before
IAck
can go
high.
