W83697SF

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The W83697SF is evolving product from Winbond's most popular I/O family. They feature a whole new

interface, namely LPC (Low Pin Count) interface, which will be supported in the new generation chip-

set. This interface as its name suggests is to provide an economical implementation of I/O's interface

with lower pin count and still maintains equivalent performance as its ISA interface counterpart.

Approximately 40 pin counts are saved in LPC I/O comparing to ISA implementation. With this

additional freedom, we can implement more devices on a single chip as demonstrated in W83697SF's

integration of Game Port and MIDI Port. It is fully transparent in terms of software which means no BIOS

or device driver update is needed except chip-specific configuration.

As Smart Card application is gaining more and more attention, W83697SF also implements a smart

card reader interface featuring Smart wake-up function. This smart card reader interface fully meets the

ISO7816 and PC/SC (Personal Computer/Smart Card Workgroup) standards. W83697SF provides a

minimum external components and lowest cost solution for smart card applications.

The disk drive adapter functions of W83697SF include a floppy disk drive controller compatible with the

industry standard 82077/ 765, data separator, write pre-compensation circuit, decode logic, data rate

selection, clock generator, drive interface control logic, and interrupt and DMA logic. The wide range of

functions integrated onto the W83697SF greatly reduces the number of components required for

interfacing with floppy disk drives. The W83697SF supports four 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M, or 2.88M

disk drives and data tranSFer rates of 250 Kb/s, 300 Kb/s, 500 Kb/s,1 Mb/s, and 2 Mb/s.

The W83697SF provides two high-speed serial communication ports (UARTs), one of which supports

serial Infrared communication. Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud

rate generator, complete modem control capability, and a processor interrupt system. Both UARTs

provide legacy speed with baud rate up to 115.2k bps and also advanced speed with baud rates of 230k,

460k, or 921k bps which support higher speed modems. In addition, the W83697SF provides IR

functions: IrDA 1.0 (SIR for 1.152K bps) and TV remote IR (Consumer IR, supporting NEC, RC-5,

extended RC-5, and RECS-80 protocols).

The W83697SF supports one PC-compatible printer port (SPP), Bi-directional Printer port (BPP) and

also Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) and Extended Capabilities Port (ECP). Through the printer port

interface pins, also available are: Extension FDD Mode and Extension 2FDD Mode allowing one or two

external floppy disk drives to be connected.

The configuration registers support mode selection, function enable/disable, and power down function

selection. Furthermore, the configurable PnP features are compatible with the plug-and-play feature

demand of Windows 95/98TM, which makes system resource allocation more efficient than ever.

The W83697SF provides a set of flexible I/O control functions to the system designer through a set of

General Purpose I/O ports. These GPIO ports may serve as simple I/O or may be individually configured
