7.5 HARDWARE GATEA20/KEYBOARD RESET CONTROL LOGIC
The KBC implements a hardware control logic to speed-up GATEA20 and KBRESET. This control logic
is controlled by LD5-CRF0 as follows:

P92EN
(Port 92 Enable)
A "1" on this bit enables Port 92 to control GATEA20 and KBRESET.
A "0" on this bit disables Port 92 functions.
HGA20
(Hardware GATE A20)
A "1" on this bit selects hardware GATEA20 control logic to control GATE A20 signal.
A "0" on this bit disables hardware GATEA20 control logic function.
HKBRST
(Hardware Keyboard Reset)
A "1" on this bit selects hardware KB RESET control logic to control KBRESET signal.
A "0" on this bit disable hardware KB RESET control logic function.
When the KBC receives a data follows a "D1" command, the hardware control logic sets or clears
GATE A20 according to the received data bit 1. Similarly, the hardware control logic sets or clears
KBRESET depending on the received data bit 0. When the KBC receives a "FE" command, the
KBRESET is pulse low for 6
μ
S(Min.) with 14
μ
S(Min.) delay.
GATEA20 and KBRESET are controlled by either the software control or the hardware control logic and
they are mutually exclusive. Then, GATEA20 and KBRESET are merged along with Port92 when
P92EN bit is set.
KBC clock input is 6 Mhz
KBC clock input is 8 Mhz

KBC clock input is 16 Mhz

SGA20
(Special GATE A20 Control)
A "1" on this bit drives GATE A20 signal to high.
A "0" on this bit drives GATE A20 signal to low.
PLKBRST
(Pull-Low KBRESET)
A "1" on this bit causes KBRESET to drive low for 6
μ
S(Min.) with 14
μ
S(Min.) delay. Before issuing
another keyboard reset command, the bit must be cleared.
