DP8466B Disk Data Controller
General Description
The DP8466B Disk Data Controller (DDC) is an intelligent
peripheral which interfaces Winchester or Floppy disk drives
to microprocessor based systems It transfers data between
a buffer memory or host system and the serial bit data
stream with disk rates up to 25M-bits per second High
speed system data transfer is possible with full on-chip DMA
control of buffer or main memory The 16-bit system I O
interface allows use with any popular 8-bit 16-bit or 32-bit
microprocessor Programmable track format enables recon-
figuration of the DDC for different drive types in a multiple
drive environment Using other National DP846X series disk
data path chips the DP8466B conforms to ST506 SMD
and ESDI standard drive interfaces as well as to intelligent
standard interfaces such as SCSI (SASI) and IPI
The DP8466B is available in three performance versions
DP8466BN-12 DP8466BN-20 and DP8466BN-25
