Using GPSTB Pins for External Port Control
(PD6722 only)
The PD6722 provides pins that can be programmed to function as general-purpose strobes to
external latches or buffers, allowing them to serve as read ports or write ports mapped into the
PD6722 register set.
Configuring a GPSTB pin as a read port allows an easy way to read additional card status such as
VS1# and VS2# levels, a card socket microswitch status, a card port cover microswitch status, card
eject solenoid position status, or general system signal status.
Configuring a GPSTB pin as a write port allows an easy way to control additional features such as
card-state LEDs, card mechanism solenoids, or motor eject mechanisms.
Control of GPSTB Pins
The Extension Control 2 register controls the GPSTB pins.
For the PD6722, the A_GPSTB pin is controlled by the Extension Control 2 register at Socket A
(index 2Fh, extended index 0Bh), and the B_GPSTB pin is controlled by the Extension Control 2
register at Socket B (index 6Fh, extended index 0Bh).
The following table summarizes how the GPSTB pins are configured and how data is accessed
from external ports created by using a GPSTB pin to control an external read or write port.
Programming the Extension Control 2 Register
There is one Extension Control 2 register per GPSTB pin. Each register has identical GPSTB
control bits, as follows. See also the description of this register in
