The PCI Interrupt Line register is located at offset 3Ch
in the PCI Configuration Space. It is read and written by
the host. It is cleared by H_RESET and is not affected
by S_RESET or by setting the STOP bit.
PCI Interrupt Pin Register
Offset 3Dh
This PCI Interrupt Pin register is an 8-bit register that
indicates the interrupt pin that the Am79C978A control-
ler is using. The value for the Am79C978A Interrupt Pin
register is 01h, which corresponds to INTA.
The PCI Interrupt Pin register is located at offset 3Dh in
the PCI Configuration Space. It is read only.
PCI MIN_GNT Register
Offset 3Eh
The PCI MIN_GNT register is an 8-bit register that spec-
ifies the minimum length of a burst period that the
Am79C978A device needs to keep up with the network
activity. The length of the burst period is calculated as-
suming a clock rate of 33 MHz. The register value spec-
ifies the time in units of 1/4 s. The PCI MIN_GNT
register is an alias of BCR22, bits 7-0. It is recommend-
ed that BCR22 be programmed to a value of 1818h.
The host should use the value in this register to deter-
mine the setting of the PCI Latency Timer register.
The PCI MIN_GNT register is located at offset 3Eh in
the PCI Configuration Space. It is read only.
PCI MAX_LAT Register
Offset 3Fh
The PCI MAX_LAT register is an 8-bit register that spec-
ifies the maximum arbitration latency the Am79C978A
controller can sustain without causing problems to the
network activity. The register value specifies the time in
units of 1/4 µs. The MAX_LAT register is an alias of
BCR22, bits 15-8. It is recommended that BCR22 be
programmed to a value of 1818h.
The host should use the value in this register to deter-
mine the setting of the PCI Latency Timer register.
The PCI MAX_LAT register is located at offset 3Fh in
the PCI Configuration Space. It is read only.
