General Purpose Input & Outputs

8.2.1.

EAPD

EAPD can act as a GPIO, but is unaffected by the following registers. To use EAPD as a GPIO, use

about EAPD can also be found in Section 8.1.18.3: page 59.

8.2.2.

GPIO Pin Definitions

GPIO pins are programmable to have input/output functionality. The data values (status) for these

pins are all in one register with input/output configuration in a separate register. Control of GPIO pins

configured for output is achieved by setting the corresponding bit in output slot 12; status of GPIO

pins configured for input is returned on input slot 12. The CODEC must constantly set the GPIO pins

that are configured for output, based upon the value of the corresponding bit position of the control

slot 12. The CODEC should ignore output slot 12 bits that correspond to GPIO control pins config-

ured as inputs. The CODEC must constantly update status on input slot 12, based upon the logic

level detected at each GPIO pin configured for input. A GPIO output pin value that is written via slot

12 in the current frame will not affect the GPIO status that is returned in that particular write frame.

This slot-12 based control/status protocol minimizes the latency and complexity, especially for

host-based Controllers and host data pump software, and provides high speed monitoring and con-

trol, above what could be achieved with command/status slots. For host-based implementations,

most AC‘97 registers can be shadowed by the driver in order to provide immediate response when

read by the processor, and GPIO pins configured as inputs should be capable of triggering an inter-

rupt upon a change of status.

The AC-link request for GPIO pin status is always delayed by at least one frame time. Read-Mod-

ify-Writes across the AC-link incur latency issues which must be accounted for by the software driver

or AC‘97 Digital Controller firmware. PCI retries should be kept to a minimum wherever possible.

8.2.3.

GPIO Pin Implementation

The GPIOs are set to a high impedance state on power-on or a cold reset. It is up to the AC‘97 Digi-

tal Controller to first enable the output after setting it to the desired state.
