Reference Design LogoThis reference design implements a generic IDE interface controllercompliant with the ATA/ATAPI-5 Standard. It is also a WISHBONE-compliant host controller that provides a simpleinterface to low-cost, non-volatile memories such as hard disk drives, CD-ROM players/writers and CompactFlashand PC card devices. This document and the design are based on the OpenCores ATA/ATAPI-5 core.

Features

  • ATA/ATAPI Revision 5 compliant design
  • Common PIO (Programmed Input Output) compatible timing setting for all connected devices
  • Fast PIO dataport timing settings for connected devices
  • Single-word/multi-word timing settings for connected devices
  • PIO mode that supports PINGPONG read and write
  • Automatic big endian versus little endian conversion
  • DMA read and write buffer
  • WISHBONE DMA engine compatible
  • WISHBONE Revsion B2 compliant
  • 32-bit host interface
  • Operation in a wide range of input clock frequencies
