PREFACE¶
TO THE READER
This manual describes the NORD-100 Input/Output system architecture and principles from a hardware standpoint.
The description is general, not aimed at any particular device controller. Hence, this book is not a maintenance "trouble shooting" manual.
The main intention of this manual is to describe the parts of the I/O system that are common to all device controllers. That is, to give the needed background to understand the fundamental design concepts in the NORD-100 Input/Output system.
In the manuals covering specific device controllers, a knowledge of these concepts is assumed.
Since this is a hardware manual, it should be of interest to:
- all technical and maintenance personnel who wish to gain a good understanding of the connection of I/O interfaces to the NORD-100 computer system.
- system software personnel who program I/O interfaces. They should read Section I.
PREREQUISITE KNOWLEDGE¶
It is assumed that the reader of this manual is familiar with the NORD-100 CPU at the level described in the manual "NORD-100 Functional Description".
It is also assumed that the reader has some knowledge at the NORD-100 instruction set and assembly programming.
ND-06.016.01

THE MANUAL¶
This manual is meant to be read from the beginning to the end since some sections assume knowledge of the previous sections.
Section I describes the NORD-100 I/O system in general terms as seen by a programmer. This part does not require particular knowledge of the involved hardware.
Sections II to V deal with the hardware implementation of the I/O system functions programmed in Part I.
Section II describes the functions of the system bus (the NORD-100 bus).
Section III describes using the NORD-100 bus in programmed information exchanged.
Section IV describes the separation of interrupting I/O interfaces.
Section V covers how information is exchanged directly between the NORD-100 memory system and I/O interfaces.
Section VI covers the NORD-100 bus extender.

General¶
NORD-100 is a 16 bit general purpose computer suitable for most computer applications.
Requirements to a computer system changes from one application to another. Therefore, flexibility has been one of the key words in the design of the NORD-100 computer system.
The basic difference from one installation to another is found in the memory size, the software configuration and in the input/output system, i.e., the selection of peripheral equipment.
Therefore, a flexible and modular design of the above mentioned modules is specially important in order to configure a system after a customer’s wishes.

NORD-100 INPUT/OUTPUT SYSTEM OVERVIEW¶
I.1 INTRODUCTION¶
The purpose of the input/output system (I/O system) is to perform the physical communication between connected peripheral equipment and the NORD-100 computer system.
The user normally does not interact directly with the I/O system, only indirectly via the operating system.
Thus, all I/O operations are normally invisible to the user.
However, privileged users may access the I/O system directly and users with special real-time requirements (running direct tasks) may bypass the I/O system for direct access to specific devices.
I.1.1 DEFINITION OF TERMS¶
As shown in Figure I.1, the I/O system is part hardware and part software.

Figure I.1: Fundamental Elements of the I/O System
Figure I.1 shows some of the important elements of the I/O system. The picture is not complete, but it illustrates the chain of linkages that are basic to the I/O system.
ND-06.016.01
Page 18¶
Device Controller¶
A device controller, as shown in Figure 1.1, is the hardware I/O interface. The functions of the device controllers is to:
- synchronize the speed between a peripheral and the NORD-100
- formatting of data to and from the peripheral
Depending on the particular controllers, the device controller may drive only one peripheral (such as a terminal) or may be capable of driving several peripherals (such as disk units).
For each device controller there is an entry in a device data field table. A device data field defines a device and is used by a device driver, the program that accesses and controls a peripheral.
For each device there is a device data buffer where information between the operating system and the I/O system is exchanged.
This manual is intended to give a functional description of the hardware involved in the I/O system.

I.2 NORD-100 ARCHITECTURE¶
I.2.1 NORD-100 BUS STRUCTURE — THE NORD-100 BUS¶
In the NORD-100 computer system all hardware modules are connected together via a common bus, the NORD-100 bus (see Figure I.2.1).
Figure I.2.1: NORD-100 Bus Structure
All communication between NORD-100 modules is provided by this bus, except CPU, MMS and Cache communication. Therefore, the NORD-100 bus is general purpose, to allow all classes of NORD-100 modules simply to be "plugged" into the system.
ND-06.016.01
Page 20¶
Physical Arrangement of the NORD-100 Bus and Card Crate¶
Physically, the NORD-100 bus is available as a printed backplane. The backplane is available in two versions containing either 12 or 21 positions for module connection. Besides the different numbers of positions, there is no difference between the two versions as far as the connection of hardware modules is concerned.
However, the difference between a 12 or 21 position system is easily visualized by the organization of the card crates and the size of the cabinets.
In the 12 position version, the required power is supplied by a power supply located within the card crate (refer to Figure I.2.2). This approach leads to a very compact system.
Figure I.2.2: 12 Position NORD-100 Crate Layout (Top View)
Dimensions:
| Description | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Crate Height | 420 mm |
| Crate Width | 510 mm |

| Slides for Connection of Module Dependent Cables |
ND-06.016.01
Page 21¶
I–2–3¶
In the 21 position version, the power supply is removed from the card crate and located in the upper part of the cabinet (refer to Figures I.2.3 and I.2.4). Thus, the cabinet must be bigger than the cabinet for a 12 position crate.

Cabinet Layout for NORD-100 Backplane System¶
Figure I.2.4: Cabinet Layout for a 21 Position NORD-100 Backplane System.
The NORD-100 bus backplane of either 12 or 21 positions is, therefore, firstly selected from the number of modules required in an actual system.
On the other hand, physical dimensions in the cabinet and possible needs for future extension could also be taken into account.
ND-06.016.01
Page 23¶
Configuration Details¶
In some cases, a configuration may require space for even more than 21 modules. In such cases, NORD-100 card crates are linked together by Bus Expander modules. The number of crates to be linked is set to a theoretical maximum of 8 crates.
The properties of the Bus Expander module are explained in Section VI.
Each NORD-100 bus backplane position contains a total of 96 lines (power and ground lines included).
All positions in the backplane contain the same information, i.e., they are equal.
This allows flexible configuration or reconfiguration of hardware.
The actual placement of different modules follows various rules which are described later.
ND-06.016.01

I.2.2 FUNCTIONS OF THE NORD-100 BUS¶
I.2.2.1 General¶
As already mentioned, the NORD-100 bus serves as a general purpose highway for data and addresses in the NORD-100 computer system.
The actual function and use of the bus depends on what kind of transfer is being performed.
I.2.2.2 NORD-100 Bus and the I/O System¶
I.2.2.2.1 General¶
As illustrated in Figure I.2.1, NORD-100 I/O device controllers are connected directly to the NORD-100 bus. This includes some important advantages:
- The I/O device controllers are connected to the same printed backplane as the CPU and the memory system;
- no external wiring
- increased reliability
- Only one bus to connect between source and destination of a transfer makes a fast system.
- I/O device controllers and slot number in the NORD-100 bus is not predefined:
- easy to expand
- easy to reconfigure
ND-06.016.01
Page 25¶
I.2.2.2.2 I/O System Information Exchange and NORD-100 Bus Usage¶
External devices may be classified as:
- Slow character/word oriented devices (for example, terminals)
- High speed block oriented mass storaged devices (for example, disks, mag. tape)
Data exchange between these classes of peripherals and NORD-100 falls into one of two categories.
Programmed Input/Output (PIO)¶
The first class is completely controlled by program. This is called Programmed Input/Output (PIO).
In programmed data transfers, each word or byte to be exchanged has to be programmed between the selected I/O device controller (interface) and the CPU A register.
This is illustrated in Figure I.2.3.
The CPU is busy for every word/byte to exchange. The NORD-100 bus is allocated to carry data being exchanged.
Direct Memory Access (DMA)¶
High speed block oriented peripherals exchange data directly with the NORD-100 memory system. This is called Direct Memory Access (DMA).
The I/O interface which controls the transfer, is activated by a driver program in SINTRAN III. The activation includes telling the I/O interface where to place/find data in memory, where to find/place data on the external device and the number of words to exchange.
ND-06.016.01
Page 26¶
1.2.8¶
The number of words specified is then transferred automatically without program (CPU) interaction.
DMA data exchange and bus usage is illustrated in Figure I.2.4.
Figure I.2.4: DMA Data Exchange and Bus Usage
The CPU may run any activity not waiting for the DMA transfer to be completed.
The NORD-100 bus is allocated for a DMA transfer when a word is ready to be exchanged. The connection between a DMA controller and the memory system is referred to as a "DMA channel". More than one DMA controller (interface) may be activated at the same time, thus sharing the DMA channels total bandwidth.
I.2.3 ORGANIZATION OF NORD-100 MODULES¶
All NORD-100 modules are made to a common standard. Every module has at least one connector used for connection to the NORD-100 bus. In addition, a NORD-100 module may have one or two extra connectors carrying a total of 128 lines (64 lines in each connector).
The plugs are assigned an identification letter as illustrated. The plug used for connection to the NORD-100 bus is assigned the letter C. This plug contains 96 pins; each of them defined in accordance to the NORD-100 backplane (bus) standard.
ND-06.016.01
Page 27¶
I–2–9¶
The plugs A and B each carry 64 lines with undefined use. In the design of I/O device controllers these plugs are used for connection to the external devices.
In Figure I.2.5 the organization of an I/O device controller is shown.

Figure I.2.5: Organization of an I/O Device Controller Module
- The standard part includes bus handshake control logic. This part is standardized for:
- all PIO device controllers
- all medium speed DMA controllers (10 Mb disk, mag. tape)
** The device dependent part may handle up to four different PIO devices or one DMA controller. A DMA controller may handle up to four units.
Example — one module: - four terminals and floppy disk - 8 terminals - one 10Mb disk controller (up to 4 units) - one mag. tape controller (up to 4 units)

I.3 PROGRAMMING OF I/O DEVICE CONTROLLERS (INTERFACES) — THE INPUT/OUTPUT INSTRUCTIONS IOX/IOXT¶
I.3.1 GENERAL¶
Neither a PIO interface nor a DMA controller starts an I/O transfer of their own. They have to be activated. The activation is done by the relevant device driver program when a transfer is requested (either from user program or from an I/O device controller through a hardware interrupt).
The control of an I/O device interface includes programmed access to physical hardware registers on the interfaces. Two special machine instructions are implemented for this purpose.
I.3.2 INTRODUCTION TO IOX/IOXT¶
In the NORD-100 instruction set there are two instructions usable for information exchange between the hardware device controllers and the CPU.
The mnemonics of the instructions are IOX and IOXT recognized by the MAC assembler.
NOTE: IOX and IOXT are privileged instructions. That is, under a running system (SINTRAN III running) only privileged users may use IOX/IOXT. This is normally the device driver programs belonging to SINTRAN III itself.
Nonprivileged use is detected and error message given.
If SINTRAN III is not running and paging is off, IOX and IOXT is available as other nonprivileged instructions.
Programs containing IOX/IOXT may then be entered in executable format either via the Microprogramed Operators Communication (MOPC) or from a mass storage device as floppy disk.
Page 32¶
1.3.3 FORMAT AND FUNCTIONS OF THE IOX AND IOXT INSTRUCTIONS¶
In the NORD-100 instruction set, IOX and IOXT are the only instructions useable in information exchange between CPU and I/O device controllers.
Neither the IOX nor the IOXT instruction perform any predefined functions on the I/O device controllers.
Their only purpose is to carry information between the CPU A register and a specified I/O device register.
The actual function of the IOX/IOXT instructions depend on the selected I/O device register.
All I/O device controllers are assigned a group of registers, each of them having a special meaning on the interfaces. Therefore, the programmer, by specifying an appropriate register on a device, assigns the exchanged information a special function.
Thus, all classes of information may be exchanged:
- data (byte or word) to or from PIO interface data registers (not DMA interfaces)
- transfer control information to PIO and DMA interfaces control registers
- transfer status information from PIO and DMA interface status registers.
Instruction Formats
All I/O device registers are assigned an address referred to as "device register address". That is, both the IOX and IOXT instructions access an I/O device register by its address.
IOX Instruction Format
In the IOX instruction, the address of the I/O device register to access is specified in the 11 lower bits of the instruction itself.

I.3.3.1 Definition of IOX/IOXT Transfer Direction¶
The IOX and IOXT instructions handle both input and output transfers. An input transfer in this context means input to the CPU A register from a specified I/O device register. An output transfer means output from the CPU A register to a specified I/O device register.
The actual transfer direction of the IOX and IOXT instructions is decoded from the device register address based on the following convention:
- The transfer direction is input if the device register address is even. That is, bit 0 of the address is "0".
- The transfer direction is output if the device register is odd. That is, bit 0 of the address is "1".
The programmer is not affected by this convention. All I/O device registers which should be loaded from the CPU A register (output transfer) are assigned an odd device register address.
All I/O device registers which should be read into the CPU A register (input transfer) are assigned an even device register address.
How hardware uses bit 0 in the device register address to select the transfer direction is described in later sections.

Page 36¶
I.3.4 CALCULATION OF THE IOX/IOXT DEVICE REGISTER ADDRESS¶
In order to form the device register address, a basic understanding of the organization of the device registers is needed.
Logically, the collection of all I/O device registers may be thought of as a contiguous register file.
Physically, each I/O device controller is assigned a group of registers. Thus, the registers are located and accessed on the modules where they are relevant.
I.3.4.1 The Device Register Address Range¶
By using the IOX instruction a total of 2K registers may be specified, i.e., addresses from 0 - 3777(_8).
The IOXT instructions, which use the 16 bits T register to hold the device register address, may hence theoretically address up to 64K registers (addresses from 0 - 177777(_8)).
However, the collection of all device registers implemented on interfaces designed at Norsk Data only cover the address area 0 - 1777(_8), i.e., 1K register.
The remaining addresses, which may be specified by the IOX or IOXT instructions, are defined as described below.
The IOX Instruction Address Range
The address range covered by the IOX instruction is organized as illustrated below (Figure I.3.1).
| IOX | C | x x x x x ... x |
|---|---|---|
| "0" | ADDRESSES DEFINED BY NORSK DATA DESIGNED INTERFACES | |

The address range covered by the IOXT instruction is organized as shown below (Figure I.3.2).

Figure I.3.2: Instruction IOXT Address Range
As indicated, if the bits 11-15 are all zero, the device register address of the IOXT instruction overlap in the IOX instruction's address range.
If one of the bits 11-14 is "1" and bit 15 is "0", the address is illegal.
If bit 15 is set ("1"), registers not accessible by the IOX instruction may be specified.
ND-06.016.01
Page 38¶
System Control Registers¶
Addresses from 100000₈ - 100777₈ are used to specify system control registers which have to be accessed via the NORD-100 bus. An example is the Error Correction Control Register (ECCR), physically located on the memory modules.
ECCR is loaded by the TRR instruction. However, since ECCR is accessed via the NORD-100 bus, the micro program converts the TRR instruction to an IOXT instruction.
The "device register address" is generated by the micro program in the area 100000₈ - 100777₈ (TRR ECCR is converted to IOXT 100115₈).
The registers in this address area is not relevant to the I/O system and are therefore not discussed any further in this manual.
Addresses from 101000₈ - 107777₈ are reserved by Norsk Data for future needs.
Addresses from 110000₈ - 177777₈ are reserved by Norsk Data for future extension of the I/O device register address range.
Since all present I/O device controllers designed at Norsk Data may be specified in the address area 0 - 1777₈, only this area is supposed to be accessible in the following sections.
Further, since the addresses 0 - 1777₈ may be specified by both the IOX and the IOXT instructions which both have the same functions, IOX is the instruction which most often is referred to. However, conversion from IOX to IOXT is given in some programming examples.
Page 39¶
1.3.4.2 Specification of an I/O Device Register Address for Norsk Data Designed Interfaces¶
As already mentioned, each I/O device controller is assigned a group of registers with consecutive device register addresses. The total number of registers assigned one I/O interface may be from 4 to 16 depending on the control functions needed on a device.
Therefore, the device register address may be divided up into two parts:
- device selection address (hardware device number — dev. no.)
- register selection address to select a register within the selected device (register number - reg. no. — in selected device)
The IOX/IOXT device register address is then calculated by the formula:
\<dev. reg. addr.> = dev. no. + reg. no.
Figure I.3.3: Device Register Address Calculation — Illustration
For Norsk Data produced device controllers, both the device number and the register number have been standardized. The hardware device numbers (dev. no.) are available in a table. The numbers assigned the various registers on an I/O interface are given in the specifications following each I/O interface.
How to use these tools in calculation of the device register address is given in the following sections.
ND.06.016.01
Page 40¶
1.3.4.3 Device Selection — the Hardware Device Number (Dev. No.)¶
As indicated in Figure 1.3.3.
The start (least) address of the block of registers on a device is referred to as the device’s hardware device number (dev. no.).
The device number for Norsk Data produced interfaces are standardized and put in table form (in Appendix A). In Appendix A, the device register address range for the most common I/O interfaces is included.
NORD-100 Standard Device Numbers (Appendix A):
| Device Register Address Range | Device |
|---|---|
| 300₈ - 307₈ | Terminal 1 |
device number (dev. no. = 300₈)
300₈ - 307₈ is the device register address range (8 registers are assigned terminal 1).
There is always a unique correspondence between a peripheral, the I/O interface controlling the peripheral and a device number.
The device number corresponding to an I/O interface is selectable by a thumb-wheel on the module. This is done to allow equal hardware modules to cover all possible device numbers assigned one class of peripherals.
Note that there is no relationship between a module device number and its slot number in the NORD-100 bus.
ND-06.016.01
Page 41¶
1.3.4.4 Device Register (reg. no.) Selection on an I/O Interface¶
Each register implemented on an I/O interface is assigned a unique number in the interface (register number — reg. no.).
Each register is related to a special function on the interfaces. That is, when both the device number and a register number is specified, the information exchanged by IOX/IOXT has a defined meaning, given by the function of the selected device register.
Each I/O device controller is described in a specification referred to as "the programming specification". In the programming specification of an interface, the functions and the associated numbers of each register is described. (Programming specifications of some I/O interfaces is given in Appendix B.)
In order to understand the programming specifications of an interface, the organization and register assignment of Norsk Data produced interfaces is needed.
I/O interface channels and registers:¶
An I/O interface is said to have two channels if it can handle both input and output transfers simultaneously. A one channel interface may handle either input or output transfers.
Examples:
One channel devices:
- line printer interface (output only)
- card reader interface (input only)
Two channel devices:
- terminal interface (output to terminal and input from keyboard)
- communication controllers (output to line and input from line)
Bidirectional (one channel) Device Controllers:
- disk interfaces (may handle both input and output but not simultaneously)
- mag. tape interface (same as for disk)
Page 42¶
PIO INTERFACE REGISTERS ACCESSIBLE BY IOX/IOXT¶
On a PIO interface designed at Norsk Data, each channel is assigned at least three registers:
- a control register
- a status register
- a data register
The Control Register¶
The control register is a "write only" register (IOX/IOXT output). Commands (start/stop transfer, mode of operation) from a device driver program to an I/O interface channel is given through this register.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
LDA <command> |
% initiate A register |
IOX <dev. reg. addr.> |
% write content of A reg. to specified control reg. |
The Status Register¶
The status register is a "read only" register (IOX/IOXT input). By reading this register, the status of an I/O interface channel (ready for transfer, busy, errors, etc.) may be investigated.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
LDT <dev. reg. addr.> |
% initiate T reg. with dev. reg. addr. of the status reg. to access |
| IOXT | % specified status reg. → A reg. |
The Data Register¶
The data registers is "write only" if it belongs to an output channel or "read only" if it belongs to an input channel.
Output Data:¶
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
LDA <data> |
% initiate A reg. with data to output |
IOX <dev. reg. addr.> |
% dev. reg. addr. of data reg. to access |
Input Data:¶
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
IOX <dev. reg. addr.> |
% dev. reg. addr. of data reg. to access |
| % i.e., data → A register |
ND.06.016.01
Page 43¶
Examples of Device Register Address Calculation for PIO Devices¶
Example 1: Line Printer Interface¶
The line printer interface has only one channel — the output channel.
The registers assigned the interface follows Norsk Data’s standard and is defined in the line printer programming specification (Appendix B).
| Register | Register No. |
|---|---|
| Output channel control register | 3 |
| Output channel status register | 2 |
| Output channel data register | 1 |
| Input data register for* | 0 |
- "off line" loop back of data (for test purposes only)
Problem 1:¶
What is the IOX/IOXT device register address of the data register on line printer no. 1.
Solution:¶
The dev. reg. addr. is calculated form:
dev. reg. addr = dev. no. + reg. no.
The device number (dev. no.) should select line printer no. 1. In Appendix A that is found to be 430₈.
The register number should point out the data register on the line printer interface. The register number of the data register is found in the programming specifications of line printer interface (Appendix B) and is equal to 1.
That is:
dev. reg. addr. = dev. no. + reg. no.
= 430₈ + 1₈ = 431₈
Assumed that line printer no. 1 is ready to accept data, the following program will write the location CHAR to the line printer data register.
LDA CHAR % initiate A reg. with char. to output
IOX 431 % write content of A reg. (CHAR) to
% line printer no. 1 data reg.
CHAR, 101 % 101 is ASCII value of A
or by using IOXT;
ND.06.016.01
Page 44¶
Problem 2¶
Write 7₈ to the control register of line printer no. 2.
Solution¶
Dev. reg. addr. = Dev. No. (L-P no. 2) + Reg. No. = 434₈ + 3₈ = 437₈
Program¶
SAA 7 % A: = 7₈
IOX 437 % A reg. → dev. reg. 437₈
or
LDT ADDR % initiate T reg. with <dev. reg.
% addr.>
SAA 7 % A: = 7₈
IOXT % A reg. → level reg. 437₈
ADDR, 437
Example 2: Terminal Interface¶
A terminal interface has two channels — input from keyboard and output to terminal display. Each channel is controlled independently and contains its own set of control, status and data registers.
Input Channel¶
| Register | Register No. |
|---|---|
| Input control register* | 3 |
| Input status register** | 2 |
| Input data register | 0 |
ND-06.016.01
Page 45¶
Output Channel¶
| Register | Register No. |
|---|---|
| Output control register* | 7 |
| Output status register** | 6 |
| Output data register | 5 |
Common Register¶
| Speed selection (baud rate) register | Register No. |
|---|---|
| 1 |
*Note that the control register is always a write only register independent of which channel it is assigned.
**Note that the status register is always a read only register independent of input/output channel.
Problem 1¶
What is the IOX/IOXT device register address for the output channel status register on terminal no. 1.
Solution¶
From Appendix A, terminal no. 1 is found to have device number (dev. no.) equal to 300₈.
In Appendix B, programming specifications for a terminal interface, the register number (reg. no.) for output channel status register is 6₈.
Using the formula
Dev. reg. addr. = dev. no. + reg. no. = 300₈ + 6₈ = 306₈
That is, by executing,
IOX 306
or
LDT (306 IOXT
the status register for the output channel on terminal 1 is read into the CPU A register.
Page 46¶
Problem 2¶
Assume that terminal 1 have a data character available to be read and that terminal 2 is ready to accept a character.
Read the character on terminal 1, store it in a location called BUFF and write it back to terminal 2.
Solution¶
The data character available on terminal 1 is located in the terminals input channel data register. The device register address of this register is (using Appendix A and B).
Dev. reg. addr. = dev. no. (terminal 1) + reg. no. (input data)
= 300₈ + 0₈ = 300₈
The character stored in BUFF should be loaded to the output channel data register on terminal 2. The device register address of this register is (using Appendix A and B).
Dev. reg. addr. = Dev. no. (terminal 2) + reg. no. (output data)
= 310₈ + 5₈ = 315₈
Correct Program Using IOX (Convert to IOXT privately):
INPUT, IOX 300 % read input data form terminal 1
STA BUFF % store A reg. in BUFF
OUTPUT, LDA BUFF % initiate A reg.
IOX 315 % write data to terminal 2
BUFF, 0
DMA Interface Registers Accessible by IOX/IOXT¶
A DMA controller usually contains from 8 to 16 registers accessible by IOX/IOXT instructions.
The IOX/IOXT device register address is just as for PIO interfaces, calculated for device number and register number found in the device number table (Appendix A) and the relevant programming specification respectively.
Discussion of different registers on a DMA controller is left for later sections (programming of DMA controllers). However, the important difference from PIO interfaces is noted:
- DMA controllers have no data register accessible by IOX/IOXT. The data register is exchanged directly between controller and memory without program interaction.
ND.06.016.01
Page 47¶
I.3.5 FORMAT OF THE CONTROL AND STATUS REGISTERS FOR NORSK DATA DESIGNED PIO AND DMA INTERFACES¶
I.3.5.1 General¶
All information exchange, i.e., control, status and data, between PIO devices and NORD-100 CPU is programmed via the A register by means of IOX/IOXT instructions.
On DMA controllers, control and status are programmed while data is exchanged directly to memory.
Before programming, the format and functions of the different I/O interface registers must be known. This information is found in the programming specifications for an interface. (Some examples are given in Appendix B.)
The format of the control and status registers are device dependent and may be assigned by the designer of each device controller. However, on Norsk Data designed interfaces, both the functions and the formats of these registers have been standardized.
The format of the data register follows the format accepted by the external device (for example, ASCII to and from terminals).
I.3.5.2 Format and Functions of the Status Register¶
The information available in an I/O interface channels status register is set by the interface itself.
The register is read into CPU A register (IOX read status register) when the state of an interface channel is to be investigated.
The status register is read by
| IOX
The format of the status register has been standardized for all Norsk Data produced interfaces and is equal both for the input and output channel of a device.
Format of the status register (format of the A register after IOX read status register).

Bit 0 - 2¶
The status register bits 0 - 2 are direct feedback of the corresponding bits in the control register of the same I/O interface channel (see control register format).
Bit 3 — Device Ready for Transfer¶
Status register bit 3 set or not set tells whether an I/O interface channel is ready to operate or not. What is meant by "ready for transfer" (bit 3 "1") differs from the input to the output channel.
PIO Device Input Channel¶
Bit 3 equal to 1:
Input data register contains valid information ready to be read.
Bit 3 equal to 0:
Input data register does not contain valid information.
ND-06.016.01
Page 49¶
PIO Device Output Channel¶
Bit 3 equal to 1:
Output data register is empty and may accept the next output data character.
Bit 3 equal to 0:
Output data register is not empty, i.e., the data register should not be loaded.
DMA Controllers¶
Bit 3 equal to ‘’1’’:
DMA transfer completed.
Bit 3 equal to ‘’0’’:
DMA transfer is going on.
Bit 4 — Inclusive OR of Errors¶
Bit 4 set to one: an error has occurred in the I/O interface channel investigated. More about the error is given in status register bits 5-15 (actual bits are described in the programming specifications).
Bit 5 - 15 — Nondefined¶
Status register bits 5 - 15 are assigned by the I/O interface designer and given in the I/O interface’s programming specifications.

I.3.5.3 Format and Function of the Control Register¶
The information written into the control register of an I/O interface channel is always taken by the interface as a command. The command may be start/stop of transfer, mode of operation, etc.
The control register of an I/O interface channel is loaded by:
- LDA
<command>
% initiate A register - IOX
<dev. reg. addr.>
% dev. reg. addr. of I/O interface control reg.
The format of the control register has been standardized for all Norsk Data produced interfaces and is equal both for the input and output channel of a device.

- In the output channel, start output of the content in output channel data register
- Start a DMA transfer (DMA controllers)

Technical Manual¶
Activation¶
This bit is not always specified in a device programming specification. In such cases the activation is not needed.
The activate bit is normally static, i.e., it will remain on until Master Clear, Device Clear (control register bit 4) or a loading of the control register with bit 2 = "0" is done. Other reasons for resetting are given in the programming specifications.
Bit 3 — Test Mode¶
This bit set to "1" will loop output data back as input data in "off line" testing of an interface.
Bit 4 — Device Clear¶
The control register loaded with bit 4 = "1", generates a reset pulse on the accessed I/O interface. The reset pulse will clear all bits set in both the control and the status registers.
The device clear bit is usually implemented only in the input channel control register of a device. However, the bit resets both channels on a two channel device.
Bit 5 - 15 — Nondefined¶
Bits 5 - 15 in the control word are left for free use by the interface designer and is specified in the interface's programming specifications.

I.3.6 PROGRAMMING OF A PIO INTERFACE¶
I.3.6.1 General¶
Reading or writing data to a PIO interface has no meaning unless the interface is ready for transfer (RFT), i.e., status bit 3 = "1".
As indicated in the description of the control and status registers, RFT and control register bit 0 = "1" gives interrupt.
That is, there are two methods useable to check whether an interface is ready or not.
- Polling for status register bit 3 = "1"
- Enable for interrupt and wait (or do other useful things) until interrupt occurs
SINTRAN III (of course!) uses method 2. However, in the following description and programming examples method 1 will be used. Use and programming examples with interrupt is given in the section "The I/O System and the Interrupt System".
I.3.6.2 Programmed Input from a PIO Interface¶
Reading a byte or word from a PIO interface may be divided up into three steps:
-
Enable the input channel for reception of incoming data
-
Check whether the input data register contains valid data ready to be read.
If YES:
-
Read the input data register.
Due to standardization of both functions and formats of the status and control registers, this sequence is applicable on all Norsk Data produced PIO interfaces. The sequence is illustrated in the flow chart below.

1.3.7 PROGRAMMING OF DMA CONTROLLERS¶
1.3.7.1 DMA Controller Operation¶
A DMA transfer may be divided into three steps:
- Initialization
- Transfer
- Termination and status check
Refer to the following descriptions and illustrations.
Initialization¶
A DMA controller has to be initialized before a transfer can be started. The initialization is done by a device driver program activated by the operating system when a transfer is needed.
The driver program accesses the DMA controller by means of IOX instructions. Through different transfer parameters, the driver tells the DMA interface what to do. The transfer parameters are written into physical device registers located on the controllers.
Typical transfer parameters and registers are:
- Memory Address Register (MAR) holds the first memory address to read from (DMA output) or write into (DMA input).
- Block Address Register (BAR) holds the first address to read (DMA input) from or write (DMA output) to on the physical device.
- Word Count Register holds the number of words to be transferred.
- Control register gives device function (read, write, etc.) and start (bit 2: activate device).
In addition, a status register, the MAR and the BAR, may be read for status check and test purposes.
The format of the registers and their associated register numbers are given in the hardware programming specifications.
Page 59¶
Transfer¶
After initialization and start is given, the data transfer takes place. Data is exchanged between the DMA controller and memory at the speed determined by the device. CPU may run any activity not waiting for the DMA transfer to be completed.
Termination and Status Check¶
The DMA transfer is completed when the word counter is zero. On the DMA controller, status register bit 3 (ready for transfer) is turned on. If the interrupt system is on (ION) and interrupt is enabled on the controller, this causes interrupt on level 11. If the interrupt system is not on, a complete transfer is found by polling (continuous reading) on status register bit 3.
More about DMA controller operation is given in Section V.

I.4 THE I/O SYSTEM AND THE INTERRUPT SYSTEM¶
I.4.1 GENERAL¶
Under a running system (SINTRAN III), all I/O devices connected to NORD-100 will be prepared for operation and then allowed to operate asynchronously with respect to the CPU. That means that the I/O controllers activate themselves through an interrupt to the CPU if a status change occurs.
Possible status changes in the I/O system that may cause interrupt are:
-
End of operation interrupt
and
-
Error interrupt
Which of the two status changes that actually caused an interrupt is found by reading the status register of the interrupting channel on the interrupting device.
-
End of operation interrupt occurs if a device is ready for transfer (status bit 3 = "1") and control register bit 0 = "1".
This means for a PIO interface in the:
- output channel
data has been transmitted, next character to output may be loaded to the output data register
- input channel
input data is available
or for a DMA controller:
- DMA transfer is completed, i.e., word counter is zero.
- output channel
-
Error interrupt occurs if an interface’s status bit 4 = "1" (device error) and control register bit 1 = "1".
Further details about the error is found in status register bit 5 - 15 (see programming specifications).
ND-06.016.01
Page 66¶
1.4.2 NORD-100 INTERRUPT SYSTEM GENERAL DESCRIPTION¶
The NORD-100 interrupt system consists of 16 program levels. The program levels are numbered from 0 - 15 with increasing priority; program level 15 has highest priority, program level 0 lowest.
At any time, the highest active level is running. This level is referred to as “current program level” (PL).
Interrupt occurs, if a level with higher priority than the one currently running is activated or if the current program level gives up its priority. The level change is a micro programmed procedure which purpose is to establish the interrupting level as the new currently running (PL), while the previous PL is put into a waiting state.
To ensure fast level changing (context switching), each of the 16 program levels have their own set of registers and status indicators located in a high speed register file.
The control of the NORD-100 priority interrupt system is based on two registers:
- the Priority Interrupt Enable register (PIE)
- the Priority Interrupt Detect register (PID)
Page 67¶
External Interrupt System¶

| PID | Priority Interrupt Detect |
| PIE | Priority Interrupt Enable |
| P.K. | Program Code |
| P.V.L. | Previous Program Level |
ND-06.016.01
Page 68¶
Technical Description¶
Both the PIE and PID are 16 bit registers where each bit corresponds to a program level (for example, PIE and PID register bit 10 corresponds to program level 10).
The PIE register is used as a static mask register; the PID register is dynamically set/reset depending on the activity on enabled program levels.
The PIE register is loaded by the TRR PIE instruction. A bit set in the PIE register enables for interrupt on the program level corresponding to the bit's position in PIE.
Example 1¶
LDA (76033) % 76033 ➝ A
TRR PIE % A ➝ PIE
| 15 | 14* | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
Interrupt is enabled on the levels 0, 1, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14*. All other levels are disabled.
- Level 14 requires special attention, refer to the following description.
Each bit position set in the PID register corresponds to an active program level.
The current running level is given by the highest corresponding bits set both in PIE and PID.
Example 2¶
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|-----|
| 15| 14 | 13| 12| 11| 10| 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | PIE |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|-----|
| 15| 14 | 13| 12| 11| 10| 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | PID |
PL = 12
In this example, level 12 will be the one currently running, while levels 11, 10, 3 and 0 are waiting for service.

# Microprogrammed Level Change Routine
The microprogrammed level change routine activated when an interrupt occurs does the following things.
1. The interrupt system is temporarily blocked to prevent false interrupts.
2. The program counter (CP) is copied to the saved program counter (SP) on the current level.
3. The PL (program level) register is copied into the PVL (previous program level) register.
4. The PK (new level priority code) register is copied into the PL (program level) register. (The CPU has, at this moment, changed level.)
5. The SP (saved program counter) on the new level is copied to the CP (current program counter).
6. A fetch is issued, i.e., the first machine instruction on the new level is asked for.

# 1.4.3 NORD-100 INTERRUPT SYSTEM LEVEL ASSIGNMENT UNDER SINTRAN III
The interrupt priority level assigned for the different activities under SINTRAN III is given in Figure I.4.2.
| Level | Activity |
|-------|---------------------------------|
| 15 | Extremely fast user interrupts |
| 14 | Internal interrupts |
| 13 | Real-time clock |

| 4 | I/O Monitor calls |
| 3 | SINTRAN III Monitor |
| 2 | Direct Task |
| 1 | Real-time and Background |
| 0 | Idle Loop |
_Figure I.4.2_
Seen from a hardware point of view, all levels may be used by appropriate setting of the PIE and PID registers.
The actual levels used by SINTRAN III are 0, 1, 3, 4 and 10 to 14.
The program levels from 0 to 9 are completely controlled by software, i.e., interrupt on these levels has to be programmed by means of TRR PID/MST PID instructions.
Interrupt on the levels 10 to 15 may be set either by program or by hardware.
Each of the levels 10 - 13 and 15 are assigned a unique interrupt line in the NORD-100 bus which may be activated from any slot position.
Level 15 is not used by Norsk Data equipment but may be used by users requiring immediate access to the CPU. The levels 10-13 are used by Norsk Data produced input/output device controllers.
Level 14 is used for interrupts on internal CPU trap conditions. Level 14 is associated with an Internal Interrupt Enable (IIE) register and Internal Interrupt Detect (IID) register.
The IIE register may enable/disable interrupt generation on interrupt requests detected by IID (more information about the Internal Interrupt system is given in the manual "NORD-100 Functional Description").

## Page 71
# I.4.4 NORD-100 INPUT/OUTPUT DEVICE CONTROLLERS LEVEL USAGE
As already mentioned, interrupt levels 10-13 and 15 may be activated by hardware through physical lines available in the NORD-100 bus. These lines go directly to the interrupt detect controller (PID register) in the CPU.
For Norsk Data produced equipment, the use of these lines have been standardized:
- Level 10 is used by the output channel of all PIO interfaces
- Level 11 is used by all DMA controllers
- Level 12 is used by the input channel of all PIO interfaces
- Level 13 is used by the real-time clock(s) and PIO devices which need special attention
- Level 15 is not used by Norsk Data produced hardware or software, but is available for special purposes needing immediate access. Note that level 15 has even higher priority than power failure (level 14).
This is illustrated in Figure I.4.3.

# I.4.5 IDENTIFICATION OF AN INTERRUPTING I/O DEVICE CONTROLLER
## I.4.5.1 General
As indicated, more than one device may use the same interrupt line.
That is, when an interrupt on one of the levels 10 - 13 is detected by the CPU, the only known thing is that some kind of status change, in the I/O system, has occurred. In order to find the reason for the interrupt, the status register of the interrupting device has to be read (IOX) and investigated. But since each of the interrupt lines 10 - 13 are shared between all devices, the I/O interface causing the interrupt is unknown. That is, the device number is unknown and the IOX device register address is not possible to define.
Therefore, a device interrupt identification is needed.
## I.4.5.2 The Ident Code
Each I/O device controller is assigned an interrupt vector referred to as "ident code" (id code). The ident code related to Norsk Data produced interfaces has been standardized and is given in Appendix A.
There is a unique correspondence between an external device, the device number and the ident code.
On the interfaces, the ident code (as the device number) is selectable by a thumbwheel to allow equal hardware modules to cover all ident codes related to one class of peripherals.
ND-06.016.01
---
## Page 74
# I.4.5.3 The Ident Instruction
The ident instruction is a privileged machine instruction used in device interrupt identification.
The ident instruction, when executed, searches for interfaces with interrupt condition set, and returns the interfaces' ident code to the A register.
To maintain the interrupt priority the ident instruction searches only for interrupts on a specified level. The level to search on is specified in the ident instruction format.
## Ident Instruction Format
`IDENT PL xx % 10 ≤ xx ≤ 13`
| 15 | 6 | 5 | 0 |
|--------------|-----------|---|-----|
| IDENT | PL | | |
Specified by programmer
### Example
The instruction IDENT PL 12 will only search for interfaces driving interrupt line level 12 (BINT12). A possible existing interrupt on level 10 or 11 is ignored and handled later by IDENT PL 10 and IDENT PL 11 respectively.
The ident code, which is unique for each device, is used to via an ident code table, to enter the interrupting device’s data field. The data field contains an address pointer to the device’s driver program which is started. The device driver program accesses the interrupting interface by means of IOX instructions which device register addresses are found in the device data field.
The driver program resets the interrupt condition on the interface, initiate next exchange and returns control to the program interrupted by the I/O interface.
ND-06.016.01
---
## Page 75
# I.4.5.4 The Ident Search Mechanism
The search for interrupt performed by the ident instruction may be divided up into three steps.
_First_, all I/O device controllers are presented the level on which the searching is going to be performed. The interfaces which have interrupt set on the specified level turns on a “flag” to signify this. The others do nothing.
_Second_, the CPU generates a search signal (INIDENT). The search signal is daisy chained via the module nearest to the CPU over to the next and so on. When the search signal finds the "flag" (interrupt on specified level) set, the search is stopped.
_Third_, the ident code from the interface which stopped the search is returned to the A register.
**NOTE:**
In step three the interrupt is removed from interface by resetting of the interrupt enable bit, i.e., bit 0 or 1 in the channel's control register. That is, an interface channel should be reenabled after being served by the ident instruction.
The search mechanism used by the ident instruction includes some important notes.
**Note 1:** There should never be empty positions in the NORD-100 bus between the CPU and any I/O device controller. An empty position will stop the search signal and never release interrupts on modules in higher slot position numbers than the empty one.
**Note 2:** Between interfaces generating interrupt on the same level, the interface nearest the CPU has highest priority within the level (for slow devices such as terminals this has no practical effect).

# I.4.5 Input/Output Interrupt Programming
## I.4.5.5.1 Initialization of the Interrupt System
As indicated in the previous discussion, an interrupt is generated on I/O interfaces which are "ready for transfer" (RFT - status bit 3 = "1").
However, these interrupts are *not* noticed by the CPU unless the interrupt system is initialized and turned "on" (by the ION instruction).
After power up, PID, PIE and PL will be zero. The registers on level zero will be in use. The interrupt initialization must include the following:
- Enabling of the desired program levels by proper mask setting in PIE (Priority Interrupt Enable).
- Enabling of the desired internal interrupt sources by proper mask setting in IIE (Internal Interrupt Enable register).
- The SP, saved program counters, on the levels to be used must be initialized, i.e., they must all point to the program to be executed on the different levels.
- If the Z (error) indicator is enabled for interrupt (IIE bit number 5), care should be taken that this indicator is cleared in the status register (bit number 3) for all levels being initialized.
- The IIC (Internal Interrupt Code) register, the PES (Parity Error Status) register and the PEA (Parity Error Address) register might be blocked after power up.
- By performing a TRA instruction for IIC and PES, all three registers will be unblocked and ready for use.
- The interrupt system is turned ON.
## I.4.5.5.2 I/O Interface Interrupt Generation
After the initialization of the interrupt system, the I/O interfaces should be enabled for interrupt generation. This is done by setting bit 0 (and 1) in the interfaces' control registers.
The following illustrations show how enabled interfaces generate interrupts on the levels 10, 11 and 12.

# II THE NORD-100 BUS
## II.1 GENERAL
As already stated in Part I, the NORD-100 bus efficiently organizes the inter-connections and transactions between the hardware modules in the NORD-100 computer system.
*Figure II.1: The NORD-100 Bus*
The NORD-100 CPU uses the bus for memory transfers to and from the memory system, and for I/O transfers to and from its connected peripherals.
In addition, some NORD-100 bus peripherals (DMA controllers) can initiate transfers directly to and from the memory system.

# II.2 THE NORD-100 BUS — BUS REQUESTORS
As indicated introductionally, the NORD-100 bus may be thought of as a common resource, shared between:
- the NORD-100 CPU
- DMA controllers
In addition, refresh of the NORD-100 memory system requires access to the NORD-100 bus.
As a common resource, the NORD-100 bus has to be allocated before it may be used. Once allocated, the bus is busy to other activities, while the granted bus user may transfer one word. As the transfer is completed the NORD-100 bus should be released for next eventually requesting bus user.

# II.3 A NORD-100 BUS CYCLE — GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Before going into details, it could be convenient to look at some of the fundamental concepts behind the organization of the NORD-100 bus activities.
The basic activity is, not to forget, to exchange information between a source and a destination.
The event of exchanging one word is referred to as one bus cycle. In case of refresh, one bus cycle is an address and dataless memory refresh cycle.
A NORD-100 bus cycle is always preceded by an allocation and terminated with what here is called release.
*Figure II.3.1: A NORD-100 Bus Cycle*
Refer to the illustration (Figure II.3.1).
A NORD-100 bus cycle consists of three main events:
- allocation of a requesting bus user
- transfer one word
- termination and release of the bus
The allocation is handled by a Bus Control Unit (BCU) physically implemented on the CPU module.
That is, the BCU decides which of the three possible bus users that should be given the next bus cycle.
The transfer and termination of a bus cycle is organized as a handshake between the selected bus user (CPU, DMA or refresh) and it's accessed device (I/O interface or memory).
The concept allows completely asynchronously operation within a bus cycle.

# II.4 FUNCTIONS OF THE BUS CONTROL LOGIC (BCU)
## II.4.1 ALLOCATION OF THE NORD-100 BUS
As a common system source the NORD-100 bus has to be allocated before it can be used. The three possible bus users that may ask for access to the bus is:
- the NORD-100 CPU
- DMA controllers
- memory refresh
Access to the NORD-100 bus has to be asked for at the Bus Control Unit (BCU) through a bus allocation request.
The above mentioned bus users are operating completely asynchronously. That is, the bus allocation requests may be passed to the BCU completely asynchronously, even simultaneously causing competition.
Conflicts are avoided by the BCU through a priority allocation arbiter. Based on a priority allocation algorithm and the present active bus allocation requests, one requestor is selected for the next bus cycle while possible other active requests must wait.
### II.4.1.1 The Allocation Requests
Each of the three possible bus requestors have their own unique request line input to the allocation arbiter in the BCU. A request is issued by activation of the request lines.
---
## Page 90
# II.4.1.1.1 NORD-100 CPU Allocation Request
The NORD-100 CPU may request access to the system bus for one of six reasons:
| Operations | Access Type |
|-------------------------------------------|------------------------------|
| instruction fetch | |
| operand read | memory |
| indirect address read | access |
| operand store | |
| programmed access to the I/O system | I/O system |
| programmed access to external system control registers* | access<br>system control<br>registers |
*Control registers not located on the CPU or MMS module (for example, Error Correction Control Register on the memory modules — TRR ECCR).
If any of the six above mentioned operations are in progress, the CPU microprogram activates the signal BUSRQ (CPU bus request) input to the CPU allocation arbiter.
In addition to the signal BUSRQ passed to the BCU, the microprogram informs the CPU bus-handshake-logic which transfer that is to be performed.
The bus-handshake-logic is then ready to start the transfer when it, from the BCU, receives acknowledge on the allocation request.
ND-06.016.01
---
## Page 91
# II.4.1.1.2 DMA Allocation Request
A DMA controller requests allocation of the NORD-100 bus to get direct access to the NORD-100 memory system.
When a DMA controller needs more data to output or have a word ready to be written to computer memory, it generates a bus allocation request to the BCU.
Then the controller has to wait for the BCU to acknowledge the request before the exchange may be performed.
When there are several DMA controllers, each controller’s request signal is "wired or" (connected) to one bus allocation request line input to the BCU.
This signal is named BREQ (Bus REQuest) and may be driven from any slot position in the NORD-100 bus.
In order to select only one DMA controller as granted bus user at the time, the DMA request acknowledge signal is daisy chained in the NORD-100 bus backplane. The daisy chain then establishes a sequential priority scheme between DMA controllers.
Physical implementation of the daisy chain is described in later sections.
# II.4.1.1.3 Memory Refresh Allocation Request
Refresh is a periodical operation needed by the dynamic MOS memory circuits used in the NORD-100 main memory. By allocating the NORD-100 bus during the refresh period two problems are solved in a simple and efficient way.
- The refresh cycle is synchronized to other bus activities.
- The memory system is unaccessible since the system bus is allocated, i.e., blocked.
The refresh allocation request is initiated every 15 μs by an oscillator on the CPU module activating the signal RFREQ (refresh request) input to the BCU.
ND.06.016.01
---
## Page 92
# II.4.1.2 The Bus Control Unit (BCU) Allocation Priority Rules
From the above discussion of the potential bus allocation request signals, Figure II.4.1 shows what is the request inputs to the BCU allocation logic.
The BCU priority arbiter controls the access to the NORD-100 bus based on the following rules:
- Already allocated bus is not interruptable.
- The bus cycle going on is aborted if it exceeds a time limit of 8 μs.
If the bus is idle and an allocation request appears alone, the rule is:
- *first come, first served.*
Since all the request signals appear asynchronously, conflicts between simultaneous requests may happen. In such cases, the following priority rules are used:
- RFREQ and BREQ are both handled as DMA requests but RFREQ is given highest priority.
- If both DMA requests (RFREQ and BREQ) and CPU request (BUSRQ) are present, priority is given to the one not having the previous cycle (toggled priority).
ND.06.016.01

## Page 93
## The Bus Control Priority Arbiter
The bus control priority arbiter and the bus allocation is illustrated in the following examples.
In the examples a simplified presentation of the request lines and the bus usage is used.
### Example
| Step | Description |
|------|-------------|
| 1 | CPU does not try to allocate the NORD-100 bus |
| 2 | CPU tries to allocate the bus but has to wait for another bus activity |
| 3 | The bus is allocated to the CPU |
| 4 | CPU has finished its bus cycle and releases the bus. |
### Example 1
CPU requests the NORD-100 bus first, after previous allocation is released.
---
## Page 94
# Example 2:
All requests appear simultaneously but CPU had the previous cycle.
| RFREQ | | 320 ns |
|-------|---|--------|
| BREQ | 1.4 μs (37.5 - 288 mb disk) | 650 ns |
| BUSRQ | | 200-320 ns |
# Example 3:
CPU bus request and DMA request appears simultaneously (DMA cycle steal) but previous cycle was for DMA (RFREQ).
| RFREQ | | |
| BREQ | | 550 ns |
| BUSRQ | | 200-320 ns |
## II.4.2 THE BUS CONTROL UNIT (BCU) AND TERMINATION OF BUS CYCLES
The NORD-100 bus is allocated and released on one cycle basis, i.e., for every word to exchange or for one memory refresh cycle.
One bus cycle should not last for more than 8 μs. This is monitored by the BCU. At the time of allocation, the BCU starts a timer. This timer is reset by a handshake mechanism between granted bus user and its accessed device signifying transfer completed. The transfer completion signal is named BDRY (Bus Data ReadY) and will be explained in proper context later.
If the NORD-100 bus is not released it causes system hang-up. To prevent such a situation, a bus cycle that exceeds 8 μs is aborted by the BCU timeout timer.
The faulty cycle is reported to the CPU as an internal interrupt (level 14). Refer to Figure II.4.2 for illustration.

# II.5 DATA TRANSFER ON THE NORD-100 BUS — GENERAL DESCRIPTION
When a requesting bus user receives the allocation acknowledge signal from the BCU, the requesting bus user is granted and given access to the NORD-100 bus. The granted user may then initiate a transfer.
As previously mentioned, the BCU is not involved in the control of data exchange on the NORD-100 bus. The data exchange is completely controlled by the granted bus user in handshake with its accessed device. This allows asynchronous operation independent of the CPU speed and clock frequencies.
Although the granted bus user may either be the CPU, a DMA controller or memory refresh, only CPU and DMA cycles include any data exchange. Therefore, granted bus user when talking about data transfers is either the CPU or a DMA controller.
## II.5.1 ORGANIZATION OF A NORD-100 BUS CYCLE
Due to the multiplexing of addresses and data on the same physical bus lines, one NORD-100 bus cycle may be divided up into two subcycles.
- First, an address cycle
- Second, a data cycle
See Figure II.5.1 for illustration.
| NORD-100 BUS: | | | |
|---------------|-----------|-----------|--------|
| address | data | | |
| address cycle | data cycle| one bus cycle | |
| allocation | release | | |
*Figure II.5.1: NORD-100 Bus Cycle Illustration*
Independent of the transfer (CPU or DMA transfer) actually going on, the sequence is always as given in the illustration. The Address cycle precedes the data cycle.
ND-06.016.01
---
## Page 98
# II.5.1.1 The Address Cycle
When combined with the address strobe BAPR₀ (Bus Address PResent) the multiplexed address/data line BD0-23 carry addresses.
In the address cycle, of a transfer, the granted bus user presents an address to the device that is to be accessed. That is, physical memory address to the memory system or a device register address to the I/O interfaces. In addition, which of the interrupt levels 10, 11, 12 or 13 that are to be investigated by the IDENT PLxx instruction is specified in the address cycle.
# II.5.1.2 The Data Cycle
In the data cycle, data is exchanged between the I/O register or memory location specified in the address cycle.
By contrast of the address cycle, the data cycle includes an asynchronous handshake between granted bus user and accessed device.
The handshake is initiated by the granted bus user issuing a control signal indicating "start of data cycle". Termination and release of the bus cycle is done by the accessed device activating a signal indicating "transfer completed".
Depending upon the transfer direction, the signals "start of data cycle" and "transfer completed" are also used as data strobes.
To get a better understanding of this handshake, the following sections provide a detailed description of both IOX/IOXT, IDENT PLxx and DMA controller usage of the NORD-100 bus.

# PROGRAMMED INFORMATION EXCHANGE BETWEEN I/O INTERFACES AND NORD-100 CPU — EXECUTION OF THE IOX/IOXT INSTRUCTIONS
## INTRODUCTION
The only useable instructions in the NORD-100 instruction repertoire for information exchange between I/O interfaces and NORD-100 CPU are the IOX and IOXT instructions.
Both these instructions exchange information between the CPU A register and a specified I/O interface register.
Other sections in this manual have covered how and when to use the IOX/IOXT instructions in programmed control of PIO and DMA interfaces.
Thus, this section is intended to give a description of how these instructions are executed. That is, how they are handled by the CPU and how they appear to the NORD-100 bus and I/O interfaces.

# III.2 IOX/IOXT INSTRUCTION EXECUTION
## III.2.1 GENERAL
All instructions in the NORD-100 instruction repertoire are carried out by micro-programmed routines. Each instruction has its own special routine which is entered based on the instruction’s operation code. Thus, execution of the IOX or IOXT instruction appears to the CPU as an execution of a routine in the microprogram.
In this section, the IOX and IOXT instructions are described as they appear to the CPU. That is, how the microprogrammed routines for these instructions are entered and executed.
## III.2.2 IOX/IOXT INSTRUCTION ENTRY POINT GENERATION
The microprogrammed routine for an instruction to be executed is entered based on the instruction’s operation code. The operation code is used as a “look up” address in a map table where the microprogram address to the routine relevant to the actual instruction is found.
The basic theory behind the address generation to the microprogram is covered by the manual “NORD-100 Function Description” and is not repeated here. However, some remarks relevant to the IOX and IOXT, as privileged instructions, are given.
IOX and IOXT are privileged instructions. If MMS is on, privileged instructions may only be executed by programs executing with a ring — priority greater or equal to two (RING ≥ 2).
That is, IOX/IOXT and other privileged instructions are protected from unauthorized use.
A program’s ring priority is known by the MMS through the used Paging Control Register (PCR). Thus, it is the MMS that informs the CPU whether a program is authorized to execute a privileged instruction or not.
The CPU uses this information to modify the address input to the microaddress map. That is, illegal (nonprivileged) use of a privileged instruction gives another address to the map than legal use of the same instruction. The map location pointed to by the illegal address points to a microprogram ERROR routine.
That is, IOX/IOXT and other privileged instructions are not started in the micro-program unless the use of the instructions is legal.

Legal use is decoded by the MMS and presented to the CPU as described below (Figure III.2.1).

# III.2.3 IOX/IOXT MICROPROGRAM OPERATION
The IOX and IOXT instructions have different operation codes. That is, although they have the same function, they will enter different routines in the microprogram. However, as shown below, they soon enter a common routine.
| IOXT |

| PLACE IOXT DEV. REG. ADDR. IN |

| IOXXT |
| ------ |
| COMMON ROUTINE FOR |
| EXECUTION OF IOX / IOXT |
The functions of the common routine (IOXXT) is, of course, to exchange information between CPU A register and a specified I/O interface register.
The I/O register to be used, specified in the device register address, normally has to be accessed via the NORD-100 bus.
The only exceptions are access to terminal number 1 and the Real-Time Clock (RTC) which both are implemented on the CPU module.
That is, the microprogram has to separate the handling of terminal no. 1 and the RTC from other I/O interfaces.
---
## Page 105
# III–2–5
## Flowchart
| Decision | Condition | Outcome |
|----------|-----------|---------|
| IOXXT | RTC DEV. NO: 10₈ | YES: Enter routine to handle RTC No. 1 |
| | IS THIS ACCESS TO TERM no.1 DEV. no. 300₈? | YES: Enter routine to handle TERM No. 1 |
| | | NO: Initiate transfer to I/O interface via NORD-100 bus |
## Description
In this section, it is assumed that the transfer is performed via the NORD-100 bus, i.e., IOX/IOXT device number unequal to 300₈ and 10₈.
A CPU bus transfer is controlled by the microprogram. However, the asynchronous handshake mechanism through various control signals included in a NORD-100 bus cycle is handled by a CPU Bus Handshake Logic (BHL). Figure III.2.3 illustrates the interaction between the CPU microprogram and CPU bus handshake logic during IOX/IOXT execution.
When a NORD-100 bus cycle is needed, the microprogram requests allocation of the NORD-100 bus. In addition, the microprogram informs the CPU bus handshake logic which cycle (IOX, IDENT or memory reference) it should handle.
In case of IOX, the device register address to be used in the IOX address cycle is enabled onto the internal CPU bus (IDB).
Refer to Figure III.2.3 and note how the microprogram execution is synchronized to the bus activities by the bus handshake logic through the "WAIT" and "RELEASE WAIT" mechanism.
When the address cycle is completed, the microprogram continues by enabling the CPU A register onto IDB. Note that this is done independent of the actual transfer direction.
At the completion of the data cycle, the microprogram loads the content of DBR into the CPU A register.
---
_ND-06.016.01_
---
## Page 106
# III--2--6
As indicated, the microprogram performs one output operation and one input operation. This is done to make the microprogram independent of the transfer direction.
The actual transfer direction is handled "privately" between the CPU bus handshake logic and accessed I/O device. How this is done is described in the next section.

# III.2.4 IOX/IOXT Execution and the Nord-100 Bus
This section is intended to give a description of how execution of the IOX/IOXT instructions appear to the NORD-100 bus. This includes the operation of the CPU bus handshake logic and the control signals involved during IOX/IOXT executions.
The background for signal responses from the accessed PIO or DMA controller is described in a later section.
As indicated in the previous section it is the microprogram that "knows" that an access to the NORD-100 bus is needed, and thus indicates the bus cycle.
The microprogram generates a bus allocation request to the BCU, informs the bus handshake logic that an IOX cycle is in progress and enables the device register address into IDB.
The bus control logic is then ready to operate when it receives the bus allocation signal from the BCU.
As other bus cycles, the IOX/IOXT cycle is handled by the bus handshake logic as an address cycle and a data cycle.
In the address cycle, all I/O interfaces, simultaneously, are presented the device register address. Based on this address, one I/O device register is selected to communicate with the CPU during the data cycle.
As indicated in the previous section, the microprogram is independent of the IOX/IOXT transfer direction. This is also the case for the IOX/IOXT address cycle. However, the data cycle of course is direction dependent.
Therefore, the following text and illustrations cover an output transfer and an input transfer as case 1 and 2 respectively.
## Case 1: IOX/IOXT Output Transfer
After initialization by the microprogram, the bus control logic is waiting for the allocation acknowledge signal to start the bus cycle. The device register address resides in the Write Data Address (WDA) buffer.
Refer to Figure III.2.4.
**NOTE:** The convention for representation of the bus signals in timing diagrams is given in Appendix F.3.

| | Accessed I/O Interface |
---
**Figure III.2.4: IOX/IOXT Output Operation via the NORD-100 Bus**
Upon receiving the allocation acknowledge signal, the handshake logic enables WDA onto the NORD-100 bus BD lines combined with the address strobe BAPR₀.
The CPU bus handshake logic holds the addresses about 50 ns after leading edge of BAPR₀ before it continues with the data cycle.
The microprogram now moves the A register, via IDB, to WDA. The bus handshake logic passes WDA to the BD lines.
When the data (the A register) is valid on the BD lines, the handshake logic activates the signal BIOXE₀.
Upon receiving BIOXE active, all I/O interfaces "look" at the device register address presented in the address cycle to see if it is equal with their own address.
The interface that finds equal address strobes the content of the BD lines (the A register) into the specified device register. The interface then activates the signal BDRY₀ to signify "data accepted". In other words, the transfer is completed.
---
ND-06.016.01
---
## Page 109
# III–2–9
The handshake logic uses the leading edge of BDRY₀ to strobe the content of the BD lines (still the A register) into DBR and restarts the microprogram. The microprogram terminates the IOX/IOXT execution by moving DBR to the A register. That is, the A register is left unchanged after an IOX/IOXT output transfer.
As indicated in Figure III.2.4, the handshake logic turns BIOXE off upon reception of BDRY. BIOXE off implies that the accessed I/O interface turns BDRY₀ off. That is, the NORD-100 bus is released and ready for the next bus cycle.
## Case 2: IOX/IOXT Input Transfer
Refer to Figure III.2.5.
The IOX/IOXT address cycle is independent of the transfer direction, i.e., it follows the same scheme both for input and output transfers.
The data cycle also starts equal since neither the microprogram nor the CPU bus handshake logic knows what the direction actually is.
The IOX/IOXT transfer direction is selected by the I/O interface that finds "equal" after the reception of BIOXE.
If the accessed interface finds that the specified I/O register to be exchanged is an input register, the interface activates the signal BINPUT₀.
The bus handshake logic reacts on the active BINPUT₀ signal by closing the output from the WDA buffer and then activating the signal BINACK.
The signal BINACK (BINput ACKnowledge) is a direct feedback to the interface that generated BINPUT. BINACK means that the BD lines are free to accept data from the interface. Thus, at the reception of BINACK₀ active, the interface enables the accessed input register onto the BD lines. When the content of the input register is valid on the NORD-100 bus, the interface generates the BDRY₀ signal.
As for output, the bus handshake logic uses the leading edge of BDRY₀ to strobe the content of the BD lines into DBR and restarts the microprogram.
The microprogram moves DBR, which now contains a specified I/O register, to the A register.

# III.2.5 IOX/IOXT EXECUTION AND THE I/O INTERFACES
All I/O interfaces, both PIO and DMA, are controlled by program, i.e., accessed by IOX/IOXT instructions.
Thus, each I/O interface has a bus control logic specially dedicated to handle IOX/IOXT access to the interface.
The bus control logic is designed independent of the peripheral connected to the interface. This implies that all peripherals appear equal to the NORD-100 bus and could be handled equally by the CPU bus handshake logic.
On a PIO interface module, the bus control logic is standardized to handle up to four different devices accessed to the NORD-100 bus.
Refer to Figure III.2.6.

# III.2.6 PIO Interface Module Organization
The actual number of devices controlled by one interface module is limited to the physical space required for the peripheral device dependent control logic.
A DMA controller requires at least one module. Thus, it has no meaning talking about a standard part controlling several DMA controllers.
However, a DMA controller, of course, has an IOX/IOXT bus control logic with the same functions as for PIO interfaces.
The description of an I/O interface bus control logic is therefore applicable to both PIO and DMA interfaces.
The main function of the I/O interface’s bus control logic is to handle the handshake with the CPU bus handshake logic during IOX/IOXT execution.
The address and data flow and the associated control signals involved in this handshake have already been described in timing diagrams. Thus, the functions and the sequence in which the different control signals appear should be known.
The following text and illustration (Figure III.2.7) is based on this knowledge and is meant as an introduction to the I/O interface’s bus control logic.

# III–2–14
The first information presented on the NORD-100 bus during IOX/IOXT execution is the device register address combined with the address strobe BAPR₀.
This information is available to all modules connected to the bus simultaneously.
On all I/O modules, the leading edge of BAPR₀ is used as a strobe to buffer up the address presented on the BD lines. Note that the I/O modules at this stage do not know if the address is meant for memory or an I/O interface. Thus, the I/O interfaces have to wait for more information to proceed.
The BIOXE₀ signal active is what the I/O interfaces are waiting for.
At the leading edge of BIOXE₀, each I/O interface compares the device number part of the buffered address with its own device number.
The I/O interface that finds "device equal" starts an IOX cycle on the interface. Other interfaces do nothing.
The "device equal" interface starts the IOX cycle by decoding the register number bits in the device register address. This decoding selects one of the registers on the interface to be accessed.
If the device register to be accessed is an output register, the content of the BD lines, i.e., the A register, is written into the register. BDRY₀ is activated to signify "data accepted".
In cases where the accessed device register is an input register, the interface requests the BD lines for input of data. This is done by activating the BINPUT₀ signal.
Upon receiving BINACK₀, the interface enables the selected input register onto the BD lines.
BDRY₀ is now generated to signify the presence of valid data on the BD lines.
In the next section we will look at how the device identification logic is implemented in hardware.

# III.2.7 HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DEVICE IDENTIFICATION LOGIC
The block diagrams given in Figure III.2.9 and III.2.10 illustrate how the device identification logic is implemented in hardware. As seen, both figures are very similar. Figure III.2.9 shows how the hardware is organized on a module controlling one peripheral type (DMA controller) while Figure III.2.10 shows the organization on a module controlling several peripheral types (PIO interfaces).
The device identification logic is based on a compare circuit.
The device register address issued during IOX execution, is in this circuit compared with the I/O interfaces’ device numbers.
Device numbers relevant to the different I/O interfaces resides in "device number PROM’s" (Programmable Read Only Memories).
There is one PROM for each class of peripherals controlled by equal hardware. The actual device number selected on an interface depends on the selected PROM location.
A PROM location is selected by a PROM address which is set by a thumbwheel. Thus, the device number of an interface is easily changed by turning the thumbwheel.
On I/O modules controlling more than one peripheral type with different device numbers, one separate PROM, thumbwheel and comparator is available for each peripheral.
In order to make it easier to understand the device identification logic, it could be convenient to see how the hardware “looks” at the presented device register address.
On a two channel interface (i.e., three register number bits) the hardware is designed to handle the device register address format given in Figure III.2.8.

| EXTENDED | C | DEVICE NO. | REG. NO. |
- **REGISTER NO. IN SELECTED DEVICE i.e. NOT USED TO FIND DEVICE EQUAL**
- **DEVICE NO. USED TO FIND DEVICE EQUAL**
- **C SHOULD BE ZERO**
EXTENDED DEVICE ADDR. (IOXT) SHOULD BE ZERO FOR CURRENT EXISTING DEVICES. ALL ZEROS → OK

## Page 116
# III–2–16
As indicated in the block diagram (Figure III.2.9) the extended address bits (bit 11-15) is passed through an "all zero" test.
If this test turns out in "ok" (all zero) and BIOXE goes active, the IOX device number is compared with interface's device numbers.
One and only one interface should now find "device equal". Device equal on an interface enables decoding of the register number field of the device register address. As indicated in the figures III.2.9 and III.2.10, this decoding may be performed either "centralized" or in the device dependent part on single peripheral or multiperipheral controllers respectively.
The decoding is performed physically by a 3 to 8 line decoder. A given bit combination input to the decoder gives one output line active.
That is, the number specified in the register number field gives one line active which points out the register that is to be accessed.
The output from the decoder is used to clock the content of the BD lines into a device output register.
If an input register is specified, the active output from the decoder and BINACK true, enables the device input register onto the BD lines.

# IV IDENTIFICATION OF INTERRUPTING I/O INTERFACES — EXECUTION OF THE IDENT PLxx INSTRUCTION
## IV.1 INTRODUCTION
The event causing the IDENT PLxx instruction to be executed is an interrupt on one of the levels 10, 11, 12 or 13.
The background for interrupt generation on the I/O interfaces should be known from other parts of this manual.
The need for and the function of the IDENT PLxx instruction has also been described:
- Its purpose is to search for an existing interrupt on a specified level (PLxx) and return the ident code from the first found device with interrupt on specified level to the CPU A register.
This section is intended to give a more detailed description of how the IDENT PLxx instruction is executed. That is, how it appears to the NORD-100 CPU, the NORD-100 bus and the I/O interfaces.

# IV.2 EXECUTION OF IDENT PLxx
The format of the IDENT PLxx instruction entered for execution should be as shown below.
| 15 | 6 5 | 0 |
|--------|-----|---|
| IDENT | PL | |
*Specified by programmer*
Since the IDENT PLxx is a privileged instruction the entry point generation in the microprogram is restricted in the same way as for IOX/IOXT execution. Non-privileged use is detected and error message is given.
This section is intended to give a functional description of the microprogrammed routine after the IDENT PLxx instruction is successfully entered.
## IV.2.1 IDENT MICROPROGRAM OPERATION
The search for interrupts that is performed during IDENT PLxx execution is normally done in the NORD-100 bus.
However, as for the IOX/IOXT instruction, there are exceptions.
Terminal number 1 (device no. = 300₈) is physically implemented on the CPU module. Thus, interrupts (level 10 or 12) from this terminal are not detected by searching in the NORD-100 bus.
The real-time clock (interrupt level 13) is also designed as an integrated part of the CPU.
That is, if interrupts are detected on the levels 10, 12 or 13 it might be that the search should not go via the NORD-100 bus.
This has to be investigated by the microprogram and it is done as illustrated in Figure IV.2.1.

## Page 122
# Microprogram Separation of Internal (CPU) or External Interrupts on Level 10, 12, or 13
![Flowchart]
*Figure IV.2.1: Microprogram Separation of Internal (CPU) or External Interrupts on Level 10, 12, or 13*
In the following description of the IDENT PLxx instruction, it is assumed that the search for interrupt has to be performed in the NORD-100 bus.
The microroutine designed to handle the IDENT PLxx search on the NORD-100 bus is principally equal to the IOX/IOXT Bus Transfer routine. The only difference is that in IDENT execution, the microprogram tells the CPU bus handshake control logic to perform an interrupt search instead of an IOX/IOXT information exchange.
Thus, the interaction between the microprogram and CPU bus control logic, with some minor adjustments, follows the same scheme as for IOX/IOXT execution.
Refer to Figure IV.2.2 for information relevant to IDENT PLxx execution.

# Figure IV.2.2: IDENT Micro Routine and CPU — Bus Handshake Logic Interaction
As indicated in Figure IV.2.2, the microprogram generates a bus allocation request (BUSRQ) to the BCU. In addition, the CPU bus handshake logic is informed that the cycle in progress is an IDENT cycle. The level specification (PLxx) is enabled onto IDB, ready to be used in the address cycle.
The IDENT PLxx execution is terminated at the reception of BDRY₀ from the first interface found with interrupt on specified level.
BDRY is, by the CPU bus handshake logic, used to clock the content of the BD lines (the interrupting interface's ident code) into the DBR register.
The microprogram moves DBR to the CPU A register and initiates the next machine instruction.
## IV.2.2 IDENT PLxx EXECUTION AND THE NORD-100 BUS
This section is intended to give a description of how the IDENT PLxx instruction appears to the NORD-100 bus. This includes the operation of the CPU bus control logic and the control signals involved during IDENT execution.
Background for signal responses from the I/O interfaces is given in the next section.
As other NORD-100 bus cycles, an IDENT bus cycle is started by an address cycle and terminated with a data cycle. Refer to Figure IV.2.3.
In the IDENT address cycle, the level on which the interrupt search is to be performed, is presented on the BD lines, combined with BAPR₀.
All I/O interfaces having interrupt on the specified level turn on a "flag" to signify this.

# Interrupt Handling Logic
Although several I/O interfaces, at the same time, may have interrupts waiting for service on the specified level, only one may be handled at a time.
This potential problem is solved by the CPU bus handshake logic issuing an interrupt search signal (BINDIENT)* which is daisy chained in the NORD-100 bus. That is, the search signal is passed form one NORD-100 bus slot position (n) to the next (n + 1) via the module placed in position n. This is illustrated in Figure IV.2.4.
\* The search signal is called BINIDENT when it is input to a module and BOUTIDENT when it is leaving a module.
If the BINIDENT signal reaches a module with the "flag" (interrupt on specified level) set, the search is stopped. The interface that stopped the search returns its ident code to the CPU, combined with BDRY₀.
Modules with no interrupt "flag" set should, with the smallest possible delay, pass BINIDENT further to the next slot position.
Thus, this daisy chain establishes a sequential priority scheme between I/O interfaces generating interrupt on the same level.

# IV.2.3 IDENT PLxx EXECUTION AND THE I/O INTERFACES
All I/O interfaces have an IDENT control logic. The IDENT control logic is normally implemented as an integrated part of the device independent IOX/IOXT control logic.
Figure IV.2.5 illustrates the basic functions of the control logic. Refer to the illustration.

## Page 129
# IV–2–9
In the IDENT address cycle, all I/O modules, simultaneously, are presented PLxx on the BD lines, combined with BAPR₀.
BAPR₀ is used to buffer up the content (PLxx) of the BD lines.
In addition, the interrupt status on the interfaces are “frozen”.
I/O interfaces which have interrupt on specified level and interrupt status set at BAPR₀ are allowed to be set “flag” (interrupt on specified level).
This is done to ensure a stabilized test condition for the BINIDENT signal.
As indicated, the CPU bus handshake logic, from leading edge of BAPR₀, gives the I/O interfaces about 100 ns to complete this procedure. The I/O interfaces should then be ready to either pass BINIDENT to BOUTIDENT or stop the search and return the IDENT CODE.
## IV.2.4 HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE IDENT CONTROL LOGIC ON PIO AND DMA INTERFACES
The block diagrams given in Figures IV.2.6 and IV.2.7 are used as illustrations to the text in this section.
Figure IV.2.6 illustrates the IDENT control logic on a single device controller interface (DMA controllers). Figure IV.2.7 illustrates how it is implemented on multi device interfaces (several PIO controllers on one module).
The implementation is principally and functionally equal for both single and multi device controllers.
One may look at one part, controlling one device, on a multi device interface and find it equal to the logic on a single device interface. Thus, the description of a single device interface is applicable to one part of a multi device interface. Refer to Figure IV.2.6.
The PLxx information presented with BAPR₀ during IDENT execution flows into the interfaces where it is buffered. As indicated, the device interrupt status line(s) is buffered at BAPR₀.
It is worth noting that “something” on BD and BAPR₀ is equal to the I/O interfaces both for IOX/IOXT and IDENT execution. Thus, the IOX control logic prepres the bufferred content of BD (in this case PLxx) for device number checking.

ND-06.016.01

## Page 130
## IDENT Logic and Multi Device Interface
The IDENT logic, in parallel, investigates if the interface has any interrupt on the specified level. If there is, the interface blocks generation of BOUTIDENT in case BINIDENT arrives. This is done by the signal STOPIDENT, which is an AND function between interrupt on specified level and the interrupt status at BAPR₀. STOPIDENT clamps BOUTIDENT₀, which is active low, to a high level. In this case (IDENT execution), BINIDENT arrives. BINIDENT and STOPIDENT gives the signal IDENT internally on the activated interface.
The IDENT signal is used as the least significant address bit to the device number PROM. Most significant bits are the fixed thumbwheel outputs. That is, a new PROM location, containing the interface’s ident code, is accessed and enabled onto the NORD-100 bus BD lines.
After an appropriate "set up time", BDRY₀ is generated to signify presence of valid IDENT CODE on the BD lines.
Now refer to Figure IV.2.7. As indicated, the multi device interface is an extended single device interface.
Each device (A, B, ...) has its own device number/ident code PROM. The ident code is returned from the different devices as described for the single device interface.
The reason for some extra logic is that it might be simultaneous interrupts on the specified level within the interface.
One device within a multi device interface is selected by a priority circuitry. The priority circuitry selects one out of a maximum of four devices to be served by the current IDENT execution.

## DIRECT MEMORY ACCESS (DMA) INFORMATION EXCHANGE VIA THE NORD-100 BUS
### V.1 GENERAL
This section is intended to give a functional description of the information exchange handled directly between an I/O interface and the NORD-100 memory system, referred to as a DMA transfer.
I/O interfaces capable of handling such transfers are, as previously mentioned, generally referred to as DMA controllers.
A DMA controller is initialized by program, i.e., by means of IOX/IOXT instructions. The functions of the program handling a DMA controller varies from one device to another and is not discussed here. (A general description is given in Sections I.3.5 and I.3.7.)
What is to be discussed here is the event of one word of information being exchanged directly between memory and a DMA controller.
Such a transfer is based on a defined handshake mechanism against the Bus Control Unit (BCU) and the memory system. This handshake mechanism is, of course, device independent.
Thus, the following description applies to all I/O interfaces capable of handling direct memory access (DMA) transfers.

# V.2 The DMA Request Generation
A DMA controller may need access to memory for one of two reasons:
- More information from memory is needed (for output)
- Information ready to be written to memory is available in the controller
That is, either a memory read or write operation.
Common for both cases is that the NORD-100 bus is needed for the exchange. Therefore, if any of the two above conditions occur on a DMA controller, the controller will request allocation of the NORD-100 bus.
The bus allocation request from a DMA controller is referred to as a "DMA request".
The DMA request, named BREQ (Bus REQuest) is a line in the NORD-100 bus input to the Bus Control Unit (BCU) priority arbiter.
BREQ is a shared (wired or) request line among all DMA controllers and may be driven from any slot position in the NORD-100 bus.

## Page 137
# V.3 DMA REQUESTS AND THE BUS CONTROL UNIT (BCU) — THE BUS ALLOCATION ACKNOWLEDGE MECHANISM
After having generated the DMA request by activating BRE₀, DMA controllers have to wait for an allocation acknowledge signal to initiate the transfer.
The allocation acknowledge signal, named OUTGRANT, is generated by the BCU when the NORD-100 bus is free for a DMA transfer.
Although several DMA controllers may have generated DMA requests simultaneously, only one should be allowed a transfer at a time.
In order to select only one DMA controller as "granted" at the time the acknowledge signal (OUTGRANT) is daisy chained in the NORD-100 bus. OUTGRANT is passed from one slot position (n) to the next (n + 1), now named INGRANT, via the module placed in position n (refer to the BINIDENT/BOUTIDENT search).
The first module found with DMA request set is granted and is allowed to make a one word exchange. Thus, the INGRANT/OUTGRANT daisy chain establishes a sequential priority scheme between the DMA controllers.
Refer to the illustration given in Figure V.3.1.

# V.4 A DMA Transfer and the NORD-100 Bus
The activity on the NORD-100 bus during a DMA transfer may be divided up into two parts:
- first, the allocation request and allocation acknowledge procedure
- second, an ordinary memory reference cycle
The principles behind the first part which purpose is to establish one DMA controller as granted has already been explained. As indicated, this part is a handshake between the BCU and a requesting DMA controller. The second part, the transfer, is a handshake between the granted DMA controller and memory. BCU is passive during this part, but monitors the time limit of release.
In the following text and illustrations, the control signals relevant in the NORD-100 bus during a DMA transfer are described.
Due to some difference between a memory read (DMA output) and a memory write (DMA input) operation, these cases are covered as Case 1 and Case 2 respectively.
ND-06.016.01
---
## Page 140
# V–4–2
## CASE 1: DMA OUTPUT (MEMORY READ)
Refer to the timing diagram in Figure V.4.1.
The sequence is started by a DMA controller issuing BREQ₀. As the request is granted the BCU issues the signal BMEM (Bus MEMory reference). BMEM₀ serves two important functions. It enables the memory system for further operations and "freezes" the DMA request status on the DMA controllers.
The "freezing" of the DMA request status is done to ensure a stabilized test condition for the INGRANT/OUTGRANT search chain. (It might happen that a DMA controller activates its request simultaneously with the reception of INGRANT.) That is, leading edge of BMEM₀ is the last chance for a DMA request to be served by the current INGRANT/OUTGRANT search.
A DMA controller which receives INGRANT active and had DMA request at BMEM is allowed to stop the search and establish itself as granted. The granted DMA controller starts the memory reference by presenting the memory address on the BD lines combined with BAPR.
The direction signal (BINPUT) not active tells the memory system that the started reference is a read operation.
As soon as the DMA controller has removed its memory address (this is done without feedback from memory), the signal BDAP₀ is activated. BDAP₀ (Bus Data Present) means in a memory read cycle, that memory may enable data to the BD lines. This is also what the memory system is doing. As the data is valid, memory activates BDRY₀ (Bus Data Read Y). The DMA controller uses BDRY₀ to strobe the content of the BD lines (the read data) into a data buffer.

# Case 2: DMA Input (Memory Write)
A timing diagram illustrating a DMA input (memory write) transfer is given in Figure V.4.2.
The only difference from the DMA output transfer is the data cycle in the memory reference. Hence, it has no meaning to repeat the allocation procedure and the address cycle. Refer to Figure V.4.2.
The direction signal (BINPUT) true, informs the memory system that the started memory cycle is a write operation. That is, information is presented to the memory system from the granted DMA controller.
The granted DMA controller presents data to the memory system as the address cycle is completed. In order for the memory system to know when the data is valid, the DMA controller combines the data with BDAP₀ (data present).

The memory system uses BDAP₀ to strobe the data in a data buffer and activates BDRY₀ to signify "data accepted".
The leading edge of BDRY₀ terminates the grant mechanism while the trailing edge of BDRY₀ terminates the bus cycle.
A DMA controller's handling of direct memory transfers are covered in the next section.

# V.5 DMA TRANSFERS AND THE DMA CONTROLLERS
Each DMA controller has their own "request/grant logic". This logic is specially designed to request allocation of the NORD-100 bus and as the request is acknowledged, to handle a memory reference.
The handshake signals in a DMA transfer and the sequence in which they appear at the NORD-100 bus are supposed to be known from the previous section. Based on this knowledge, Figure V.5.1 illustrates why the different signals are generated and how they are used.
Refer to Figure V.5.1 and note that the BCU is not involved in the memory reference. The memory reference is handled by the granted DMA controller. Further, note that the only control signal in response from the memory system is BDRY₀.
BDRY is the well known "transfer completed and release bus" signal which prevents time out, i.e., memory out of range (MOR) in this case. If a MOR occurs during a DMA cycle this will be indicated in the PES (Parity Error Status register) by bit 14 (DMA) set and bit 15 (Fetch) not set.

# VI NORD-100 BUS EXTENDER (BEX)
## VI.1 GENERAL
The number of modules that could be connected to a NORD-100 system is of course limited to the number of available NORD-100 bus slot positions.
Thus, the limitation set by one of the available card crates is 12 or 21 modules depending on whether a 12 or a 21 position card crate is selected.
Although 21, or often less than 12 modules are sufficient for most systems, some configurations require more space than even the 21 position card crate can offer.
This potential space problem is solved by the NORD-100 Bus EXtender (BEX) system.
The BEX system makes it possible to extend the NORD-100 bus structure by linking together from two to a theoretical maximum of 8 NORD-100 card crates. It should be noted that only one CPU module can be connected to the system.

# VI.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
## VI.2.1 DEFINITION OF TERMS
The implementation of the NORD-100 Bus Extender System is handled by a module, obviously enough, called Bus Extender (BEX). Two crates are physically connected via two cables between one BEX module in each crate. Thus, the BEX modules occupy one slot position in each of the crates that are to be linked together (see Figure VI.2.1).
*Figure VI.2.1: NORD-100 Bus Extender System*
Only one CPU can be connected to the Bus Extender System.
The crate where the CPU is located is referred to as the A crate. The BEX module located in the A crate has to be BEX no. 0 which defines it as the "MASTER BEX".
From the MASTER BEX in crate A, two cables are connected to BEX no. 1, located in the next crate, called crate B.
From BEX no. 1 in crate B, two new cables give a link further to BEX no. 2 in crate C and so on.
The NORD-100 BEX system ensures that each slot position in any crate has equal properties. Thus, it is possible to mix PIO controllers, DMA controllers and memory modules in all the crates.

# VI.2.2 ORGANIZATION OF MODULES IN A BUS EXTENDED SYSTEM
The actual placement of modules in a bus extended system follows the same rules as for a single crate system.
The overall subject in the placement rules is to maintain the propagation of the daisy chained backplane signals, i.e., INIDENT/OUTIDENT, INGRANT/OUTGRANT and BINCONTR/BOUTCONTR. (The last chain is for future use.)
From the discussion of these signals earlier in this manual, remember that they all are generated by the CPU module.
## Rules for Placement of the MASTER BEX in the A crate
The search chains are connected between the crates via the BEX modules.
**NOTE 1:** Thus, there should never be any empty positions between the CPU and the first BEX in the crate chain, i.e., the MASTER BEX.
If one of the search signals are received active by the MASTER BEX, it means the actual search signal did not find stop condition in the A crate. Thus, the search is stopped in the A crate at the MASTER BEX’s position and passed over to the next card crate.
**NOTE 2:** If the last I/O device controller (PIO or DMA) or memory module is placed in the A crate position N, the MASTER BEX should be placed in position N + 1.
The normal situation is that note 1 is satisfied by a filled A crate. Consequently, the MASTER BEX is normally placed in the last A crate position.
## Rules for Placement of BEX No. 1 to BEX No. 7
The BEX modules no. 1 to no. 7 are all located in card crates with no CPU. However, they are linked to the CPU by the MASTER BEX. Thus, the BEX modules “represent” or “simulate” the CPU for the modules in the crates B, C, ... H.
**NOTE 3:** BEX no. 1 to no. 7 should be placed in position 1 in their respective crates (i.e., BEX no. 1 in position 1 in the B crate and so on).

# VI.3 CONTROL OF THE BUS EXTENDER (BEX) MODULES
## VI.3.1 INTRODUCTION
In addition to being a transparent bus extension, the BEX modules provide several features which are controllable by program or switches.
Most of the control functions are aimed against controlled routing of memory addresses when memory is partioned between several card crates. In addition, the response to different error situations may be set individually for each crate.
Some registers may be read for handling of error situations or configuration investigation.
Programmed access to the BEX modules has to be done by means of IOXT instructions (device register address ≥ 100 000).
ND-06.016.01

## Page 150
# VI.3.2 The Memory Address Routing Mechanism
The total memory capacity in a bus extended system may be divided in different crates.
In order to route the memory addresses to the crates where they are represented by physical memory, each BEX module has a Lower Limit (LL) address register and an Upper Limit (UL) address register.
On each BEX connected to a crate with memory, these registers have to be given a value which corresponds to the memory area covered by the crate.
If a BEX is connected to a crate without memory, the values set in the limit registers should be 0, to avoid unnecessary bus activity.
In addition to the Lower Limit and Upper Limit address registers, each BEX contains a base register. The value of the base register is used to give a positive offset to the address presented to a card crate.
The following illustrates how the three address registers (LL, UL, Base) work together.
_**Presented Address**_
| | |
|------|--------------------|
| | **BEX MODULE** |
| | **CRATE ADDRESS** |
| | **NORD-100 CARD CRATE** |
| | **NORD-100 BUS BACKPLANE** |

## Page 151
# VI–3–3
During a memory reference, either initiated by the CPU or a DMA controller, all crates will be presented the memory address simultaneously. Thus, all BEX modules, in parallel, will "look" at the address to see if it is between the Lower Limit and Upper Limit set for the crate.
Only one BEX should find the presented address between its limits.
LL < PRESENTED ADDRESS < UL
The BEX which finds the address ok starts a memory cycle in its crate, where memory is presented a "crate address" (refer to Figure VI.3.1).
The crate address is calculated by the BEX as given below.
CRATE ADDR. = PRESENTED ADDR. – LL + BASE
For addresses below 1 M word, Lower Limit (LL) is set equal to the base. That is,
CRATE ADDR. = PRESENTED ADDR.
Only one answer from memory is ensured by the memory modules own lower/upper limit address test.
Setting of the BEX limit registers could either be done by switches or by program. How this is done, together with an example, is explained in the next sections.

# VI.3.3 HARDWARE SWITCH SETTING
Most of the parameters that are to be set on the BEX modules, could be set either by program or switches.
If corresponding parameters are set both by program and switches, the programmed value will be used. However, it should be noted that after a "MASTER CLEAR" or a programmed "DEVICE CLEAR" the programmed values will be reset and the hardware settings used as "default values".
The only hardware settings that cannot be set by the program is the BEX number and the VITAL switch (see the description).
Refer to Figure VI.3.2 for physical placement of the switches, the thumbwheel and the Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicator. Refer also to the figure for associated abbreviations.

# BEX Number Selection — The Device Number (DEV. NO.) Thumbwheel
Eight BEX numbers are defined, thus the device number thumbwheel may take the values from 0, 1, ..., 7.
| TH1 pos | Dev. No. | Int. Level | Ident Code |
|---------|----------|------------|------------|
| 0* | 100000 | 13 | 10 |
| 1 | 100004 | 13 | 11 |
| 2 | 100010 | 13 | 12 |
| 3 | 100014 | 13 | 13 |
| 4 | 100020 | 13 | 14 |
| 5 | 100024 | 13 | 15 |
| 6 | 100030 | 13 | 16 |
| 7 | 100034 | 13 | 17 |
* BEX No. 0 is defined as MASTER BEX and should be placed in the A crate.
## The ALLOW Switch
This function is not applicable and the switch should always be in ON position on all BEX's. The position of this switch could be investigated by program by reading BEX status register (see programming specification section VI.3.4).
## The VITAL Switch
This switch is not relevant for the MASTER BEX (BEX no. 0). The VITAL switch controls how a BEX (BEX no. ≥ 1) will report a Power Fail Interrupt (PFI) in its local crate.
If the switch is ON (yellow LED not lit) and a PFI occurs in a crate, the connected BEX reports a PFI causing level 14 interrupt in the CPU (if enabled). That is, as if the PFI occurred in the A crate.
If the VITAL switch is OFF (yellow LED lit) the BEX sensing PFI reports this to the CPU by an interrupt on level 13. It must then be decided by software how vital, i.e., how serious the PFI is.
## The Lower Limit, Upper Limit and Base Address Register Switches and their Associated Display Indicators
The switches (and displays) for hardware setting of the address limits and the base register is physically located in the upper left corner of the BEX module (refer to Figures VI.3.2 and VI.3.3).

The displays will always show the currently used limit/base setting. Thus, corresponding display and pair of switches will be equal if none of the limit registers has been programmed to a different value than the value set by the switches.
The displays will not follow dynamically changes in the switches. Change in the switches is set into the limit registers and displayed after a "MASTER CLEAR" or programmed "DEVICE CLEAR".
The resolution of the switches is 64 K words per number turn on the least significant limit switch.
In Table VI.3.1 a complete list is given for all the possible switch combinations. The numbers given in the table correspond to the displayed value by a given switch setting in either the Lower Limit, Upper Limit or Base registers.
To get the corresponding value in K words, a table entry (Table VI.3.1) should be converted to decimal and multiplied by 64 K words.
Refer also to Section VI.4 — Configuration Examples.

## Bit Description
**Bit 1:**
If this bit is set, a level 13 interrupt will be generated if a parity error or local power fail interrupt is detected.
**Bit 2:**
Activate.
Only used when writing memory limits into the selected limit register. The selection is done by the mode bits in the same control word as activate.
**Bit 4:**
Clear Device.
Writing the control register with this bit set generates a reset pulse on the affected BEX. The reset pulse will set the BEX to "initial" state.
Programmed content in the limit and base registers will be reset. The switches will be set into the limit/base registers and the displays PES and PEA registers are not affected.

# Modus
Bits 5-7:
The Modus bits are used to specify which register is to be accessed in a read or write data operation. The decoding of the modus bits is given below.
| Bit No. | Specified register |
|---------|--------------------------------------|
| 7 6 5 | |
| 0 0 0 | Read Parity Error Status Register (PES) |
| 0 0 1 | Read Parity Error Address Register (PEA) |
| 0 1 0 | Read Lower Limit |
| 0 1 1 | Read Upper Limit |
| 1 0 0 | Write Lower Limit |
| 1 0 1 | Write Upper Limit |
| 1 1 0 | Write Base |
During a write operation the content of the BEX data register is moved to the register specified in the modus bit if the activate bit is set.
In a read operation, the specified registers will be enabled onto the external bus during the next Read Data cycle.
Bit 8: Allow.
Should always be one.
Bit 9: External Interrupt Disable.
A possibility in software to disable interrupts from a specific crate.
# Status Register (Dev. No. + 2)
| Bit No. | Function |
|---------|-----------------------------------------------|
| 0 | Not Assigned |
| 1 | Interrupt enabled (copy of bit one in CONT. REG.) |
| 2 | Not Assigned |
| 3 | = 1 |
| 4 | Error |
| 5-7 | Mode (copy of same bits in CONT. REG.) |
| 8 | Allow |
| 9 | External activity when failing |
| 10 | Parity Error |
| 11 | Not Assigned |
| 12 | Power Fail Interrupt |
| 13-15 | Not Assigned |

# VI–3–10
READ DATA (DEV. NO. + 0)
WRITE DATA (DEV. NO. + 1)
A READ DATA (dev. no. + 0) operation should always be preceded by selection of a register by means of the modus bits in the control register.
A WRITE DATA (dev. no. + 1) operation should always be followed by specification of the actual destination register in the BEX.
The destination register is specified in the modus bits in the control register together with the activate bit (bit 2) set to one.
## Data Formats
The A register format before write BEX data register when destination is lower/upper limit register or base register, and A register after a read of the same registers.
| 15 | 8 7 | 0 |
|-------------|---------------|-------------------------|
| NOT ASSIGNED| LOWER LIMIT* | READ/WRITE LOWER LIMIT |
| NOT ASSIGNED| UPPER LIMIT* | READ/WRITE UPPER LIMIT |
| NOT ASSIGNED| BASE* | WRITE BASE |
* Lower/upper limit and base values are in accordance with Table VI.3.1.
Format of the A register after reading PES and PEA registers:
| 15 | 0 |
|-----------------------|---------|
| LEAST MEMORY ADDRESS | READ PEA|
| 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 8 7 | 0 |
|-----|----|----|----|--------------|-------------------|
| F | D | FA | C4 ..............| C0 Most Memory Address | READ PES |
Bits 8-12: Syndrome bits (error code) used to find failing bit if FA = 0.
Bit 13: Fatal
"'1’" = uncorrectable error
"'0’" = corrected error
Bit 14: DMA — error occurred during DMA cycle in this crate.
Bit 15: Fetch — always read as 0 since fetch is an internal CPU signal.

# VI.4 CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES
Assume a system of two NORD-100 card crates and 512 k words physical memory. The memory capacity is divided equally between the crates, i.e., 256 k words in each crate. In switch settings the BEX modules will then be given as below.
| CRATE A | CRATE B |
|---------|---------|
| BEX NO. 0 | BEX NO. 1 |
| BASE DISPLAY: (0) | BASE DISPLAY: (4) |
| UL DISPLAY: (4) | UL DISPLAY: (10) |
| LL DISPLAY: (0) | LL DISPLAY: (4) |
| BASE: (0) | BASE: (4) |
| UL: (4) | UL: (A) |
| LL: (0) | LL: (0) |
## MEMORY SETTINGS
| CRATE A | CRATE B |

# VI.5 BEX Interconnection — Physical Cable Arrangement
The BEX modules (i.e., the card crates) are physically linked together by two cables. The cables are connected to the BEX ADAPTER (a small print board) mounted in the plug panel in the rear of the cabinet.
The BEX ADAPTER contains four slots for cable connection — two for ingoing cables and two for outgoing cables (to the next crate). The connectors used for ingoing cables are marked AIN, BIN. The connectors used for outgoing cables are marked AOUT, BOUT. Refer to Figure VI.5.1 for illustration.
*Figure VI.5.1: Illustration — 1969 BEX ADAPTER and BEX Interconnection Cables*
ND-06.016.01

## Page 162
# VI–5–2
The AIN and BIN connectors are never connected (used) in the A crate, while they are always used on other crates.
The AOUT and BOUT connectors are used in all crates except the last crate in the crate chain.
The BEX ADAPTER AIN and BIN connectors are connected to the BEX module by two internal flat cables.
The internal cable is equipped with a termination plug where each cable signal is terminated. The termination plugs are physically connected to the internal cables approximately 10 cm from where they reach the BEX module. Thus, there is no need for termination in the last (and open) AOUT and BOUT ports. Refer to Figure VI.5.2 for an illustration of the internal wiring.

# Modulation Techniques
## 1. Understanding AM and FM
AM and FM are the two most common types of modulation.
### Amplitude Modulation (AM)
Amplitude modulation involves varying the strength of the transmitted signal.
- **Advantages**: Simple and effective at low frequencies
- **Disadvantages**: Susceptible to noise and interference
### Frequency Modulation (FM)
In frequency modulation, the frequency of the carrier wave is varied.
- **Advantages**: Better noise immunity
- **Disadvantages**: More complex and requires a wider bandwidth
## 2. Comparing AM and FM
| Feature | AM | FM |
|---------------------|-------------------------|--------------------------|
| Bandwidth | Narrower | Wider |
| Noise Immunity | Low | High |
| Complexity | Simple | Complex |
| Application | Broadcastings like radio| High-quality audio & data|
## 3. Summary
Both AM and FM have their unique advantages. Understanding their differences helps in selecting the appropriate method for communication needs.

## Internal Registers
The following internal registers are implemented for internal control and status of the CPU, memory management system and memory. These registers are only accessed by privileged instructions, and could not be accessed by an ordinary customer's program. Internal registers can be accessed when the computer is in STOP or OPCOM mode.
For a detailed description refer to the manual *"NORD-100 Functional Description"*.

# Ident Codes and Interrupt Mechanism
## Ident Codes
The ident codes are binary coded by the switches (bits 2-7) in position 6E, with 0 corresponding to ON and 1 corresponding to OFF.
All ident codes from 0 to 377₈ can be selected.
## Interrupt Mechanism
What is needed for a device to give an interrupt?
First of all, the device must be ready for a transfer, i.e., status bit 3 must be on. For input this means that a whole character is received by the input buffer and is ready to be read into the A register. For output it means that it is possible to place at least one more character in the output buffer. Secondly, interrupt on ready for transfer must be control register bit 0 (which also is status register bit 0). The AND function of ready for transfer and ready for transfer interrupt enabled is gated to put it connected to interrupt level 12 (terminal 35) and output is connected to interrupt level 10 (terminal 27). When an interrupt is detected (dependent on the status in CPU and the program), the CPU for the interrupting level, which gives the ident code in A register. The ident code is identical for input and output channel.

# C.3 SWITCHES ON MEMORY MODULES (3005)
Lower limit is a 2 digit octal number, determining lower memory address.
Upper limit is automatically displayed according to actual memory size.
The limit address increments are 16K units, such that:
Octal Address = 40,000 x limit.
| Lower limit | Size | Upper limit | Address range |
|-------------|------|-------------|---------------|
| 0 0 | 16K | 0 1 | 0 - 16K |
| 0 0 | 32K | 0 2 | 0 - 32K |
| 0 0 | 64K | 0 4 | 0 - 64K |

The switches can be set to numbers 8 - 15, but only 0-7 normally have a meaning. It is, however, possible to allow the slot position code to determine the address range by putting lower limit to 88. (This is only meaningful for 64K). Then the address ranges will be:
| Slot | Lower limit | Size | Upper limit | Address Range |
|------|-------------|------|-------------|---------------|
| 12 | 88 | 64K | 04 | 0-64K |
| 11 | 88 | 64K | 10 | 64-128K |

# Appendix E
## Organization of NORD-100 Modules
### E.1 Location of Integrated Circuits (Card Coordinates)
To make it easy to find integrated circuits on the NORD-100 modules, the modules are equipped with a coordinate system. The coordinate system is built up like coordinates in a map with numbers and letters.
The integrated circuits are placed in rows and columns. As seen in Figure E.1, the rows are marked with letters from A through H. The columns are marked with numbers from 1 through 28. When you have the card in front of you, with the component side up and the plugs away from you (see the figure below), the rows are marked at the right short edge. The row letters start with A at the plug edge and end with H at the edge towards you. The column numbers are marked at the long edge towards you, starting with 1 at the right corner and ending up with 28 in the left corner.
The row letters and column numbers are printed on the module. Sometimes, however, the letters and numbers are not printed. This is because of space problem on the module. You may also find letters and numbers that are printed upside-down, but the coordinate system remains the same.
**NOTE:** The module is seen from the component side.

## Page 204
# Integrated Circuit Positioning
On the schematics in Appendix G all integrated circuits are marked with a number and a letter (e.g., 9E). This is a reference to the coordinate system on the modules. To find the integrated circuit's physical position you simply use the coordinate system as shown in the figure below.
Each NORD-100 module has an arrangement drawing. Examples of arrangement drawings for NORD-100 modules are shown in Section E.2. The arrangement drawing for a NORD-100 module identifies the type of integrated circuit occupying each "coordinate position" on the module. The type of integrated circuit is written on the circuit at each location. The arrangement drawings have the same coordinate system as the modules. They are drawn from the component side with the plug edge to the left. Make sure you are looking at the arrangement drawing corresponding to the schematic where you found the integrated circuit's position, 9E.
_Example:_
For the NORD-100 CPU module, the integrated circuit in position 9E is labelled 74S374.

# Appendix F
## NORD-100 Bus Backplane Signals
A complete list of signal names and pin assignments is given in the NORD-100 Backplane table on the following page. All logic signals are in the active low polarity, i.e.,:
- Logical "0" — 2.4 to 5.0 volts
- Logical "1" — 0 to 0.5 volts
The normal TTL noise margins are assumed, but it is recommended to use receivers with hysteresis on sensitive inputs, especially on signals that are at "1" while the data bus switches.
Maximum load = 0.8 mA for each slot

# F.1 REPRESENTATION OF SIGNALS IN TIMING DIAGRAMS
## Bus Organization
The NORD-100 bus is arranged as printed backplane carrying a total of 96 lines (power and ground lines included).
Each line in the backplane is defined in accordance to the manual "NORD-100 Backplane Manual" (available on special request).
The bus may be divided up into two logical parts:
- 24 bit parallel multiplexed address and data bus
- control lines
### Naming of Bus Lines
#### The Data and Address Lines
The lines in the 24 bits multiplexed address and data bus is named BD0-23.
BD0 denotes the least significant bit while BD23 denotes the most significant bit.
#### The Control Lines
Each control line has their own unique name and function (see Appendix F.2).
Generally, a signal name is an abbreviation of its function preceeded by a B for Bus (example, BREQ — Bus REQuest).
### Signal Polarity
As stated in Section F.2, all logical signals are active in low polarity, i.e.:
| Logical "0" | 2.4 to 5.0 volts |
|-------------|------------------|
| Logical "1" | 0.0 to 0.5 volts |
To define whether a signal is active in low or high polarity, the signal name is associated with a suffix 0 (active low) or 1 (active high).
ND-06.016.01
---
## Page 220
# Example
BREQ<sub>0</sub> — Bus REQuest is active (true) in low polarity.
## Convention
\[\overline{BREQ_{0}} = BREQ_{1}\]
## Representation of Signals in Timing Diagrams
The representation of control signals in a timing diagram is as shown below.
| Leading Edge | Trailing Edge |
| ------------ | ------------- |
| BREQ<sub>0</sub> | |
| | |
| BREQ<sub>1</sub> | |
| NOT ACTIVE | ACTIVE | NOT ACTIVE |
The BD0-23 lines are represented as shown below.
