Core Logic Module
32580B
6.2.6.3 Programmable Interrupt Controller
The Core Logic module contains two 8259A-equivalent
programmable interrupt controllers, with eight interrupt
request lines each, for a total of 16 interrupts. The PCI
device supports all x86 modes of operation except Special
Fully Nested mode. The two controllers are cascaded inter-
nally, and two of the interrupt request inputs are connected
to the internal circuitry. This allows a total of 13 externally
available interrupt requests. See Figure 6-9.
Each Core Logic IRQ signal can be individually selected to
as edge- or level-sensitive. The four PCI interrupt signals
may be routed internally to any PIC IRQ.
.
Figure 6-8. PIC Interrupt Controllers
Three interrupts are available externally depending upon
selected ball multiplexing:
1) IRQ15 (muxed with GPIO11+RI2#),
2) IRQ14 (muxed with TFTD1), and
3) IRQ9 (muxed with IDE_DATA6)
More of the IRQs are available through the use of SERIRQ
(muxed with GPIO39) function. See Table 6-4.
The Core Logic module allows PCI interrupt signals INTA#,
INTB#, INTC# (muxed with GPIO19+IOCHRDY) and
INTD# (muxed with IDE_DATA7) to be routed internally to
any IRQ signal. The routing can be modified through Core
Logic module’s configuration registers. If this is done, the
IRQ input must be configured to be level- rather than edge-
sensitive. IRQ inputs may be individually programmed to be
level-sensitive with the Interrupt Sensitivity configuration
registers at I/O address space 4D0h and 4D1h. PCI inter-
rupt configuration is discussed in further detail in “PCI
Compatible Interrupts” on page 164.
