Description

The ATA-4 / UDMA-33 IDE Core is a drop-in ATA-Host IP core used for interfacing to an ATA-device. It handles all transactions on the IDE bus for various commands that are dispatched from the system. After a command is dispatched, the ATA-core executes the command on the ATA device. Once the command execution is completed, the final status is reported to the system side. At that time, the system can execute a new command.


Features

  • ATA/ATAPI-4 standard compliant host
  • UDMA-33 transfer speed capabilities (33 MB/s max transfer speed)
  • RX and TX FIFOs for data transfer through the Core
  • DMA/UDMA and PIO data transfers supported
  • Dedicated signal for polling ATA-device status
  • Dedicated signal for executing Software Reset command
  • Two Clock domains: Core Clock and System Clock domains
  • Dedicated system side input bus for writing data to the ATA device
  • Dedicated system side output bus for data read from the ATA device
  • Required Core Clock Speed: 100MHz
  • Available PIO Modes: 0 and 4
  • Number of ATA devices supported on the IDE Bus: 1
