INTERRUPT MASK REGISTER (IMR)
This register selects which bits in the interrupt status
register can cause an interrupt output. If a bit in the
interrupt status register is a “1” and the corresponding
bit in this register is also a “1”, the -INT output will be
asserted. If the corresponding bit in this register is a
zero, the state of the bit in the interrupt status register
has no effect on the -INT output. Note that the interrupt
mask register does not have any effect on the pro-
grammable interrupt outputs OP7 through OP3 or the
value read from the interrupt status register.
0 = Interrupt output (-INT) disabled (default)
1 = Enable interrupt output for the event controlled by
the corresponding bit in ISR.
COUNTER / TIMER REGISTERS
The Preload value Upper (CTPU) and Lower (CTPL)
registers hold the most-significant byte and the least-
significant byte, respectively, of the value to be used by
the C/T (in both counter and timer modes). The C/T
Upper (CUR) and Lower Registers (CLR) give the
current value of the C/T, at the time they are read. In the
counter mode, the CUR and CLR should only be read
when the counter is stopped. Upon receiving a start
command after a stop command, the counter starts a
fresh cycle and begins counting down from the original
(preload) value written to CTPU and CTPL. Also
changing the value of these registers does not take
effect till the current cycle is stopped and a subsequent
start command is issued.
In the timer mode, the CUR and CLR registers cannot
be read by the CPU. A stop command will not stop the
timer, but will only clear the counter ready status bit in
ISR (bit-3). Changing the value of the CTPU and CTPL
registers when the timer is running will change the
waveform after the current half-period of the square
wave. For more details, see the Counter/Timer sec-
tion.
GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER (GPR)
This is a general purpose scratchpad register which
can be used to store and retrieve one byte of user
infomation.
INPUT PORT REGISTER - Read Only
The current state of the multi-purpose inputs (IP0-IP6)
can be read via this register.
IPR Bit 0-5:
0 = Inputs are in low state.
1 = Inputs are in high state.
IPR Bit 6-7:
Not used and set to “0”.
OUTPUT PORT CONFIGURATION REGISTER
(OPCR) - Write Only
This register selects following options for the multi-
purpose outputs OP2 to OP7.4Alternate functions of
OP1 and OP0 are controlled by the mode registers, not
the OPCR. MR1A Bit-7 and MR2A Bit-5 control OP0.
MR1B Bit-7 and MR2B Bit-5 control OP1. For more
details on these, see 'Multi-purpose Outputs' on page
8.
OP2 Output Select
Bit-1 Bit-0
0 0 Controlled by SOPR and ROPR
(default)
0 1 TxAClk16-Transmit A 16X clock
1 0 TxAClk1-Transmit A 1X clock
1 1 RxAClk1- Receive A 1X clock
OP3 Output Select
Bit-3 Bit-2
0 0 Controlled by SOPR and ROPR
(default)
0 1 C/T Output
1 0 TxBClk1-Transmit B 1X clock
1 1 RxBClk1- Receive B 1X clock
If OP3 is to be used for the timer output (a square wave
of the programmed frequency), program the counter/
timer for timer mode (ACR Bit-6 = 1), initialize the
counter/timer pre-load registers (CTPU and CTPL),
and read the 'Start C/T Command Register' (STCR)
before setting OPCR Bits 3-2 = 01. In the counter
mode, the output remains high until the terminal count
is reached, at which time it goes low. The output
becomes high again when the counter is stopped by a
stop counter command.
OP4 output select (Bit 4):
0 = Controlled by SOPR and ROPR (default)
1 = -RxARDY which is the complement of ISR bit-1
