SMSC FDC37C672
The Floppy Disk Controller (FDC) provides the interface between a host microprocessor and the floppy
disk drives. The FDC integrates the functions of the Formatter/Controller, Digital Data Separator, Write
Precompensation and Data Rate Selection logic for an IBM XT/AT compatible FDC. The true CMOS 765B
core guarantees 100% IBM PC XT/AT compatibility in addition to providing data overflow and underflow
protection.
The FDC is compatible to the 82077AA using SMSC's proprietary floppy disk controller core.
FDC Internal Registers
The Floppy Disk Controller contains eight internal registers which facilitate the interfacing between the host
microprocessor and the disk drive. Table 6.1 shows the addresses required to access these registers.
Registers other than the ones shown are not supported. The rest of the description assumes that the
primary addresses have been selected.
