The SL811HS microprocessor interface provides an 8-bit
bidirectional data path along with appropriate control lines to
interface to external processors or controllers. Programmed
I/O or memory mapped I/O designs are supported through the
8-bit interface, chip select, read and write input strobes, and a
single address line, A0.

Access to memory and control register space is a simple two
step process, requiring an address Write with A0 = ’0’, followed
by a register/memory Read or Write cycle with address line A0
= ’1’. 

In addition, a DMA bidirectional interface in slave mode is
available with handshake signals such as nDRQ, nDACK,
nWR, nRD, nCS and INTRQ. 

The SL811HS WRITE or READ operation terminates when
either nWR or nCS goes inactive. For devices interfacing to
the SL811HS that deactivate the Chip Select nCS before the
Write nWR, the data hold timing must be measured from the
nCS and will be the same value as specified. Therefore, both
Intel

®

- and Motorola-type CPUs work easily with the SL811HS

without any external glue logic requirements.

In applications that require transfers of large amounts of data
such as scanner interfaces, the SL811HS provides a DMA in-
terface. This interface supports DMA READ or WRITE trans-
fers to the SL811HS internal RAM buffer, it is done through the
microprocessor data bus via two control lines (nDRQ - Data
Request and nDACK - Data Acknowledge), along with the
nWR line and controls the data flow into the SL811HS. The
SL811HS has a count register that allows selection of pro-
grammable block sizes for DMA transfer. The control signals,
both nDRQ and nDACK, are designed for compatibility with
standard DMA interfaces.   

The SL811HS interrupt controller provides a single output
signal (INTRQ) that is activated by a number of programmable
events that may occur as result of USB activity. Control and
status registers are provided to allow the user to select single
or multiple events, which generate an interrupt (assert INTRQ)
and let the user view interrupt status. The interrupts are
cleared by writing to the Interrupt Status Register.

The SL811HS contains 256 bytes of internal memory used for
USB data buffers, control registers, and status registers. When
in master mode (host mode), the memory is defined where the
first 16 bytes are registers and the remaining 240 bytes are
used for USB data buffers. When in slave mode (peripheral
mode), the first 64 bytes are used for the four endpoint control
and status registers along with the various other registers. This
leaves 192 bytes of endpoint buffer space for USB data
transfers.

Access to the registers and data memory is through the 8-bit
external microprocessor data bus, in either indexed or direct
addressing. Indexed mode uses the Auto Address Increment

mode described in 

direct addressing is used to READ/WRITE to an individual
address. 

USB transactions are automatically routed to the memory
buffer that is configured for that transfer. Control registers are
provided so that pointers and block sizes in buffer memory are
determined and allocated.

The SL811HS supports auto increment mode to reduce READ
and WRITE memory cycles. In this mode, the microcontroller
needs to set up the address only once. Whenever any subse-
quent DATA is accessed, the internal address counter advanc-
es to the next address location.

Auto Address Increment Example. To fill the data buffer
that is configured for address 10h, follow these steps:

1. Write 10h to SL811HS with A0 LOW. This sets the memory 

address that is used for the next operation.

2. Write the first data byte into address 10h by doing a write 

operation with A0 HIGH. An example is a Get Descriptor; 
the first byte that is sent to the device is 80h 
(bmRequestType) so you would write 80h to address 10h.

3. Now the internal RAM address pointer is set to 11h. So, by 

doing another write with A0 HIGH, RAM address location 
11h is written with the data. Continuing with the Get 
Descriptor example, a 06h is written to address 11h for the 
bRequest value.

4. Repeat Step 3 until all the required bytes are written as 

necessary for a transfer. If auto-increment is not used, you 
write the address value each time before writing the data 
as shown in Step 1.

The advantage of auto address increment mode is that it
reduces the number of required SL811HS memory
READ/WRITE cycles to move data to/from the device. For
example, transferring 64 bytes of data to/from SL811HS, using
auto increment mode, reduces the number of cycles to 1
address WRITE and 64 READ/WRITE data cycles, compared
to 64 address writes and 64 data cycles for random access.
