本發明係有關於一種資料傳輸/隔離控制裝置(data transferring/separating controller),特別有關於一 種可在高速直接記憶體存取模式(Ultra DMA m〇de)下提供 熱抽換(hot swap)功能之資料傳輸/隔離控制裝置。 一般而言,周邊設備(device),像是磁碟(driye)或 硬碟(HD .hard disk)等資料儲存裝置,其與主系統 (host)如電腦之間必須透過一個標準介面(丨 傳輸資料’而資料傳輸、控制方式等相互溝通的協來 (protocol)即稱為介面規格(interface pr〇t〇c〇1)。目前 個人電腦常用的磁碟介面規格是所謂的IDE介面 (Integrated Device Electronics),而隨著 CPU 速度的加 快以及應用軟體的日趨複雜,加強型(Enhanced)EIDE介面 被用來取代傳統的IDE介面。其特點包括以lba( l〇gicai block addressing)定址模式使儲存容量達到Giga聆忱等 級,於資料傳輸速度方面,最高傳輸速度在Ultra ])^模 式下,則可高達33. 3MBps。 一般來說,資料傳輸方式包括PI0模式(Pr〇gramine(1 I/O mode)和DMA 模式(direct memory access) 如第 13圖 所示,一般週邊設備1 5如資料儲存裝置包括記憶體和硬 碟、軟碟等磁碟機設備,ΡΙ0模式則是透過匯流排(bus)1:3 和I/O埠(port) 12而直接利用中央處理器(CPU : central process unit)l〇來處理資料、指令碼或指令參數等非資 料(non-data.)指令傳輸的工作,因此,在存取動作未完成 前’ CPU1 0並無法執行其他的工作,至於資料傳輸率以The present invention relates to a data transfer / separating controller, and more particularly, to a method capable of providing a hot swap function in a high-speed direct memory access mode (Ultra DMA Mode). Data transmission / isolation control device. Generally speaking, a peripheral device (device), such as a data storage device such as a driye or a hard disk (HD.hard disk), and a host system such as a computer must be transmitted through a standard interface (丨Data 'and protocols that communicate with each other, such as data transmission and control methods, are called interface specifications. The current disk interface specification commonly used in personal computers is the so-called Integrated Device Interface (Integrated Device). Electronics), and with the acceleration of CPU speed and the increasing complexity of application software, the Enhanced (EIDE) interface is used to replace the traditional IDE interface. Its features include lba (l0gicai block addressing) addressing mode to make storage capacity 3MBps。 Giga listening level, in terms of data transmission speed, the highest transmission speed in Ultra]) ^ mode, it can reach up to 33.3MBps. Generally speaking, data transmission methods include PI0 mode (Pr0gramine (1 I / O mode) and DMA mode (direct memory access). As shown in Figure 13, general peripheral devices 15 such as data storage devices include memory and hardware Disk drives, floppy disks, and other disk drive devices, PI0 mode uses the bus 1: 3 and I / O port 12 to directly use the central processing unit (CPU) to process data. , Instruction codes, or instruction parameters such as non-data (non-data.)

Description of the invention (2) PIO mode 4 (PI0 mode 4) is taken as an example, which is approximately 16. 6MByte per second. As shown in Figure lb, the DMA mode is that the CPU 10 sets some initial settings to the DMA control chip (DMA control ler), and then the DMA control chip Π is responsible for data transmission. Therefore, using the DMA mode can not only reduce the CPU Burden 'can also speed up execution. Another Ultra DMA mode is developed by companies such as Intel. It not only has compatibility with traditional IDE interfaces, but also has built-in (crc: Cyclical Redundancy Check 1 ng) function. Once an error in data transmission is detected, the data is retransmitted, and the data transmission rate of Ui tra DMA mode can be increased from 16.6Mbyte / sec to 33.3Mbyte / sec. The data transmission rate of the original PI0 mode 4 is 16. 6 Mbyte / sec. Its data occurs at the rising edge of the square wave signal, and in the Ultra DMA mode, it uses the rising and falling edges of the (square wave) signal at the same time. Trigger the transmission of data, so the maximum transmission rate is 16.6x2 =: 33.3 Mbyte / sec. As for the main signal names defined in the current interface agreement "^" "卩 ^ 比 ⑶" are shown in Table 1:

However, the conventional DMA mode and the u 1 tra DMA mode cannot control the transfer direction of the aforementioned buffer with a simple read / write signal due to the following differences. (1) As shown in Table 2, as far as the aforementioned conventional technologies are concerned, since the conventional DMA data transfer mode of direct direc.t memory access uses only pure read / write signals (U / W; Read / Write signals) to control the transmission direction of the buffer, but the read / write signals (R / W) have different definitions in the Ultra DMA mode, so dare you ca n’t just use the simple read / write Signal to control the transmission direction of the buffer.

For example, in the timing chart of U1 tr a DMA read mode in Figure 2b, an input strobe (str0be_in) signal DSTR0BE is included, and the Ultra DMA write in Figure 2c The timing diagram of the mode includes an output strobe (^ 1; 1'〇56 ~ 〇111;) signal 115? 1? 06.

The decoder 8 11 is mainly used to control the bus L 3 0. (^ S0 / CS1 / DA0-I) A2 signal is decoded if it belongs to the write bus command code and the data DD0-DD7 on the data bus L10 contains Ultra DMA read When the mode is related to the instruction code, the DMA READ signal output by the decoder 811 is [True], and when the data is within DD0-DD7 series When the Ultra DMA write mode is related to the instruction code, the DMA READ signal output by the decoder 811 is [False] v The D-type delay flip-flop 812 is used to continue the valid period of the dm a READ signal until the end of the DMA period. Among them, the gate 8 丨 3 uses the D 丨 〇w and DMACK signals as inputs to provide the latch clock period of the d-type delay flip-flop 812. For example, the gate 813 can ensure the DMA cycle. Just at the beginning, a latching clock cycle is provided to latch the result [DMA READ signal] decoded and output by the decoder 811 to the D-type delay positive after the command code transmitted in the last PI 0 transmission mode. Inverter 812. _ In addition, according to the reading mode in Figure 2b, the DMA cycle includes a reading cycle with data DATA and a writing cycle with CRC data. The data transmission direction of the two is reverse. Therefore, DM must be used. The READ signal and the DMARQ signal are the sum gate 814a of the input to adjust the direction of the data buffer unit 7 1 0 as shown in FIG. 6, that is, the reading direction is changed to the writing direction, so that the main system C: \ ProgramFiles \ Patent \ 0356-3759-E.ptd page 15 Explanation (13) The system 500 writes the CRC data to the disk drive 540. The multiplexer 815 is used to switch the ρmode (the input dI0r signal of the back gate 814b) and the DMA mode (and the input DMA READ of the gate 81 4a) Signal), and the DMACK signal is delayed (de 1 ay) through the buffer 814c and used as a control signal for switching the p I 0 mode and the D μ A mode. · As for the output of the enabling number generator 816, the output of the anti-gate 817a and the gate 816a is used as the input of the OR gate 816b. Among them, the input end face of the anti-gate 81 7a is connected to the power control unit 817, and the power control unit 817 is used. In order to control the power supply to the peripheral devices, the DI OR read signal, DIOW write signal, and DMACK of the approved number k are the input terminals of the gate 81 6a. Therefore, only the power control unit 8 1 7 remains on (the power of the peripheral device). ), And when one of the D 丨 〇R read signal, the DI0W write signal, and the acknowledgement signal DMACK is active, or the gate 816b outputs the enable signal 〇El to the buffer unit 710, otherwise maintain high impedance (high impedence) ) Status, does not affect another connected disk drive 550 (Figure 5) on the IDE bus, the same, or the gate 817b when the power control unit 817 remains on, the output signal is enabled 〇E2 to the buffer unit 7 3 0 'Otherwise the high impedance (highimpedence) state is maintained.

The bus instruction is a DMA write related instruction. When the decoder 8 11 decodes the DMA write related instruction, the DMA READ signal is [False]. At the same time, this signal will be latched in the ρ-type flip-flop η. Figure 2c shows that the entire DMA cycle remains in the write direction and has not changed. Therefore, at the beginning, when the data DATA write cycle is transmitted, the DMA READ6 number is [False] representing the write direction, and when the DMA cycle is about to end, such as entering the CRC data write cycle, the DMARQ signal and the [False] DMA The output of the READ signal through the gate 8i4a is still [False], so the writing direction remains unchanged. · The bus instruction is other instructions. When the decoder 8 11 decodes an instruction code that is not related to DMA, such as p 丨 〇 mode, the direction signal DIR is controlled by the multiplexer 815 through the reverse gate 8141) to select the DI0R signal. To sum up, both the PI0 transmission mode and the DMA transmission mode can be performed by the data transmission / isolation control device of the present invention.
