Control adapter for input/output device

Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute a final data transfer ion a short data length by generating a final data instructing signal based on an output to distinguish the word data number of the first-in-first-out buffer of a control adapter, etc., and supplying it to a bus control part. CONSTITUTION:The word data from an input/output device are transferred through a first-in-first-out buffer 410 to distinguish that the effective word data number of an input/output device control adapter in plural, 1 or 0, a register 400 for one word and a bus control part 100 to a high order device. The final data instructing signal is generated by an AND gate 04 by means of a signal to invert an output ready signal ORDY 1 inverted to an L from the buffer 410 with the lack of the word by means of an inverter 03, an output ready signal ORDY 0 at an H in which the word exists in the register 400 and a transfer completion signal 502 at an H from the input/output device and it is supplied to the bus control part 100. Thus, the final word shorter than a set length can be smoothly transferred, a compulsory interruption by a microprocessor is made unnecessary, and a hardware increase portion is made small.

  1. 1
    [Claim(s)] 【特許請求の範囲】 1 and a first-in first-out buffer which considers a data bus between input/output devices as an input, In an input/output device control adapter by which a bus controlling part which controls data transfer with an upper device, and a control means which controls data transfer with said input/output device were connected to an internal bus, When data with the effective above-mentioned first-in first-out buffer does not exist 1 word, It is constituted when effective data exists 1 word, and so that a case where 2 words or more of effective data exist can be distinguished, When 2-word or more data exists in said first-in first-out buffer to a data request from said bus controlling part, it points to outputting data to said bus controlling part, An end signal of data transfer from said input/output device is effective, and when effective data exists in said first-in first-out buffer only 1 word, it points to it being final data to said bus controlling part, And an input/output device control adapter having independently a means to direct to output data to said bus controlling part from said first-in first-out buffer, as hardware. 1、入出力装置との間のデータバスを入力とする先入れ先出しバッファと、上位装置とのデータ転送を制御するバス制御部と、前記入出力装置とのデータ転送を制御する制御手段とが内部バスに接続された入出力装置制御アダプタにおいて、上記先入れ先出しバッファは、有効なデータが1ワードも存在しない場合、有効なデータが1ワードのみ存在する場合、および有効なデータが2ワード以上存在する場合を区別できるように構成され、 前記バス制御部からのデータ要求に対し前記先入れ先出しバッファに2ワード以上データが存在するときに前記バス制御部へデータを出力することを指示し、前記入出力装置からのデータ転送終了信号が有効であり前記先入れ先出しバッファに1ワードだけ有効なデータが存在するとき前記バス制御部に最終データであることを指示し、かつ前記先入れ先出しバッファから前記バス制御部へデータを出力することを指示する手段 をハードウェアとして別に備えたことを特徴とする入出力装置制御アダプタ。
