IEEE 488.2 Controller Chip
Description
The NAT9914 IEEE 488.2 controller chip can perform all the
interface functions defined by the IEEE Standard 488.1-1987,
and
also meets the additional requirements and recommendations
of the IEEE Standard 488.2-1987. Connected between the
processor and the IEEE 488 bus, the NAT9914 provides high-
level management of the IEEE 488 bus, significantly increases
the throughput of driver software, and simplifies both the
hardware and software design. The NAT9914 performs
complete IEEE 488 Talker, Listener, and Controller functions. In
addition to its numerous improvements, the NAT9914 is also
completely pin compatible with the TI TMS 9914A and
software compatible with the NEC µPD7210 and TI TMS9914A
controller chips.
IEEE 488.2 Overview
The IEEE 488.2 standard r emoves the ambiguities of IEEE 488.1
by standardizing the way instruments and contr ollers operate. It
defines data formats, status reporting, error handling, and
common configuration commands to which all IEEE 488.2
instruments must respond in a precise manner. It also defines a
set of controller requirements. With IEEE 488.2, you gain the
benefits of reduced development time and cost because systems
are more compatible and reliable. The NAT9914 brings the full
power of IEEE 488.2 to the design engineer along with
numerous other design and performance benefits, while
retaining the 40-pin and 44-pin hardware configurations of the
TI TMS 9914A.
General
The NAT9914 manages the IEEE 488 bus. You program the
IEEE 488 bus by writing control words into the appropriate
registers. CPU-readable status registers supply operational
feedback. The NAT9914 mode determines the function of
these registers. On power up or reset, the NAT9914 registers
resemble those of the TMS9914A set, with additional r egisters that
supply extra functionality and IEEE 488.2 compatibility. In this
mode, the NAT9914 is completely pin compatible with
the TI TMS9914A. If you enable the 7210 mode, the registers
resemble those of the NEC µPD7210 set, with additional r egisters
that supply extra functionality and IEEE 488.2 compatibility. This
mode is not pin compatible with the NECµPD7210. Figure 4
shows the key components of the NA T9914.

9914 Mode Registers
In 9914 mode, the NAT9914 registers consist of all the
TI TMS9914A registers and two types of additional registers – newly
defined registers and paged-in registers. The NAT9914 maps the newly
defined registers into the unused portion of the 9914 address space.
Each paged-in register appears at Of fset 2 immediately after you issue an
auxiliary page-in command, and it remains ther e until you page another
register into the same space or you issue a reset. The table below lists all
the registers in the 9914 r egister set. See the NAT9914 Refer ence Manual
available at ni.com for more information.
7210 Mode Registers
The NAT9914 registers include all the NEC µPD7210 registers plus two
types of additional registers – extra auxiliary registers and paged-in
registers. You write the extra auxiliary registers the same as standard
µPD7210 auxiliary registers. On issuing an auxiliary page-in command,
the paged-in registers appear at the same offsets as existing µPD7210
registers. At the end of the next CPU access, the chip pages out the
paged-in registers. The following table lists all the registers in the 7210
mode register set. See the NAT9914 Reference Manual available at
ni.com for more information.
