10M500k300k250 kbs respectively

Specifically to support the PC-AT and PC-XT design the

Floppy Disk Controller PLUS-2 includes address decode for

the A0 – A2 address lines the motordrive select register

data rate register for selecting 250300500 kbs Disk

current and DMAinterrupt sharing logic The controller also

supports direct connection to the mP bus via internal 12 mA

buffers The controller also can be connected directly to the

disk drive via internal open drain high drive outputs and

Schmitt inputs

In addition to this logic the DP8473 includes many features

to ease design of higher performance drives and future con-

troller upgrades These include 10 Mbs data rate extend-

ed track range to 4096 Implied seeking working Scan Com-

This device is available in a 52 pin Plastic Chip Carrier and

in a 48 pin Dual-In-Line package
