~National ~ Semiconductor SEPTEMBER 1978 Pub. No. 426305468'()Ol INS1771-1 Floppy Disk Formatter/Controller General Description The INS1771-1 is a programmable floppy disk formatter/ controller chip contained in a standard 40'pin dual-in· line package. The chip. which is fabricated using N-channel silicon gate technology. interfaces a floppy disk drive directly to a computer interface bus. The I NS1771-1 provides soft sector formatting. which may be either IBM 3740 compatible or a user-selected sector format. The INS1771-1 is designed to operate on a multiplexed. TR I-STA TE® S-bit bidirectional bus with other busoriented devices. The c!1ip is programmed by the system software via the bus and all data. status information. and control words are transferred over the bus lines.
