PC87334VLJ/PC87334VJG SuperI/O
TM
3.3V/5V Floppy Disk Controller, Dual UARTs, Infrared,
IEEE1284 Parallel Port, and IDE Interface
General Description
The PC87334VLJ/PC87334VJG is a single chip solution for
most commonly used I/O peripherals in ISA, EISA and Mi-
croChannel
é
based computers. It incorporates a Floppy
Disk Controller (FDC), two full featured UARTs, an IEEE
1284 compatible parallel port and all the necessary control
logic for an IDE interface. Standard PC-AT
é
address decod-
ing for all the peripherals and a set of configuration registers
are also implemented in this highly integrated member of
the SuperI/O family. Advanced power management fea-
tures, mixed voltage operation and integrated Serial-Infra-
Red (SIR) support makes the PC87334 an ideal choice for
low-power and/or portable personal computer applications.
The PC87334 FDC uses a high performance digital data
separator eliminating the need for any external filter compo-
nents. It is fully compatible with the PC8477 and incorpo-
rates a superset of DP8473, NEC
m
PD765 and N82077 flop-
py disk controller functions. All popular 5.25
×
and 3.5
×
flop-
py drives, including the 2.88 MB 3.5
×
floppy drive, are sup-
ported. In addition, automatic media sense and 2 Mbps tape
drive support are provided by the FDC.
The two UARTs are fully NS16450 and NS16550 compati-
ble. Both ports support MIDI baud rates and one port also
supports IrDA and the HP SIR compliant signaling protocol.
The parallel port is fully IEEE 1284 level 2 compatible. The
SPP (Standard Parallel Port) is fully compatible with ISA,
EISA and MicroChannel parallel ports. In addition to the
SPP, EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) and ECP (Extended Ca-
pabilities Port) modes are supported by the parallel port.
All IDE control signals with DMA support are provided by the
PC87334. Only external signal buffers are required to imple-
ment a complete IDE interface.
