PD7 ports are read. An LPC I/O read cycle causes an EPP READ cycle to be performed and the data output to the 
host CPU, the deassertion of DATASTB latches the PData for the duration of the read cycle.  This register is only 
available in EPP mode.

DATASHEET 
EPP DATA PORT 1 
ADDRESS OFFSET = 05H 
The EPP Data Port 1 is located at an offset of ‘05H’ from the base address.  Refer to EPP DATA PORT 0 for a 
description of operation. This register is only available in EPP mode. 
EPP DATA PORT 2 
ADDRESS OFFSET = 06H 
The EPP Data Port 2 is located at an offset of ‘06H’ from the base address.  Refer to EPP DATA PORT 0 for a 
description of operation. This register is only available in EPP mode. 
EPP DATA PORT 3 
ADDRESS OFFSET = 07H 
The EPP Data Port 3 is located at an offset of ‘07H’ from the base address.  Refer to EPP DATA PORT 0 for a 
description of operation. This register is only available in EPP mode. 
EPP 1.9 OPERATION 
When the EPP mode is selected in the configuration register, the standard and bi-directional modes are also 
available. If no EPP Read, Write or Address cycle is currently executing, then the PDx bus is in the standard or bi-
directional mode, and all output signals (STROBE, AUTOFD, INIT) are as set by the SPP Control Port and direction 
is controlled by PCD of the Control port. 
In EPP mode, the system timing is closely coupled to the EPP timing.  For this reason, a watchdog timer is required 
to prevent system lockup.  The timer indicates if more than 10usec have elapsed from the start of the EPP cycle to 
nWAIT being deasserted (after command).  If a time-out occurs, the current EPP cycle is aborted and the time-out 
condition is indicated in Status bit 0.  
During an EPP cycle, if STROBE is active, it overrides the EPP write signal forcing the PDx bus to always be in a 
write mode and the nWRITE signal to always be asserted. 
Software Constraints 
Before an EPP cycle is executed, the software must ensure that the control register bit PCD is a logic “0” (i.e., a 04H 
or 05H should be written to the Control port).  If the user leaves PCD as a logic “1”, and attempts to perform an EPP 
write, the chip is unable to perform the write (because PCD is a logic “1”) and will appear to perform an EPP read on 
the parallel bus, no error is indicated. 
EPP 1.9 Write 
The timing for a write operation (address or data) is shown in timing diagram EPP Write Data or Address cycle.  The 
chip inserts wait states into the LPC I/O write cycle until it has been determined that the write cycle can complete.   
The write cycle can complete under the following circumstances: 
1. If the EPP bus is not ready (nWAIT is active low) when nDATASTB or nADDRSTB goes active then the 
write can complete when nWAIT goes inactive high. 
2. If the EPP bus is ready (nWAIT is inactive high) then the chip must wait for it to go active low before 
changing the state of nDATASTB, nWRITE or nADDRSTB.  The write can complete once nWAIT is 
determined inactive. 
Write Sequence of operation 
1. 
The host initiates an I/O write cycle to the selected EPP register.   
2. 
If WAIT is not asserted, the chip must wait until WAIT is asserted. 
3. 
The chip places address or data on PData bus, clears PDIR, and asserts nWRITE. 
4. 
Chip asserts nDATASTB or nADDRSTRB indicating that PData bus contains valid information, and the WRITE 
signal is valid. 
5. 
Peripheral deasserts nWAIT, indicating that any setup requirements have been satisfied and the chip may begin the 
termination phase of the cycle.
