SPECIFICATION  
RTL8019AS  
22
0 
ACTIVEB This bit is the inverse of bit 0 in PnP Activate register (index 30H). 
When RTL8019AS is deactivated, all BROM memory read and I/O accesses to the 
Group1 registers except the HLTCLK register are ignored.  
The HLTCLK register and PnP logic work the same as when RTL8019AS is active.  
Note: The PnP logical device control register is the only way to activate 
RTL8019AS. Therefore, the HLTCLK register is allowed to be written to prevent 
RTL8019AS from dying when it is inactive in the clock-halted power-down mode.

Description 
Reserved 
When this bit is set, RTL8019AS uses SA15-SA0 to decode I/O address of NE2000 
registers. When this bit is reset, RTL8019AS only decodes SA9-SA0 like the RTL8019 
does. This mode is supported for applications which might require to fully decode I/O 
address. This bit is read-only and comes from the CONFIG4 byte(Offset 03H) of 
9346(refer to section 6.3). 
CSNSAV: CSN Save Register (08H; Type=R) 
This register is provided to backup the CSN assigned to the PnP CSN register. 
HLTCLK:  Halt Clock Register (09H; Type=W) 
This is the only active one of Group1 registers when RTL8019AS is inactivated. 
Writing to this register is invalid if RTL8019AS is not in power down mode. (i.e. If PWRDN bit in 
CONFIG3 register is zero.)  
The data written to this register determines the RTL8019AS's power down mode.

Other values 
INTR: Interrupt Register (0BH; Type=R) 
This register reflects the ISA bus states of  INT7-0 pins.  
FMWP: Flash Memory Write Protect Register (0Ch, Type=W) 
This register is write only. A write to this register is valid only when EEM0=EEM1=1. Sequentially 
writing 2 bytes of data (57H then A8H) to this register enables the flash memory write operation. 
Writing other data to this register will reset the write sequence and disable the flash write. All flash 
memory write commands from host are ignored if the write operation is not enabled.
