ISR[7] – Input Port Change Status
This bit is a ‘1’ when a change-of-state has occurred at the IP0, IP1,
IP2, or IP3 inputs and that event has been selected to cause an
interrupt by the programming of ACR[3:0]. The bit is cleared when
the CPU reads the IPCR.
ISR[6] – Channel B Change In Break
This bit, when set, indicates that the Channel B receiver has
detected the beginning or the end of a received break. It is reset
when the CPU issues a Channel B ‘reset break change interrupt’
command.
ISR[5] – RxB Interrupt
This bit indicates that the channel B receiver is interrupting
according to the fill level programmed by the MR0 and MR1
registers. This bit has a different meaning than the receiver
ready/full bit in the status register.
ISR[4] – TxB Interrupt
This bit indicates that the channel B transmitter is interrupting
according to the interrupt level programmed in the MR0[5:4] bits.
This bit has a different meaning than the Tx RDY bit in the status
register.
ISR[3] – Counter Ready.
In the counter mode, this bit is set when the counter reaches
terminal count and is reset when the counter is stopped by a stop
counter command.
In the timer mode, this bit is set once each cycle of the generated
square wave (every other time that the counter/timer reaches zero
count). The bit is reset by a stop counter command. The command,
however, does not stop the counter/timer.
ISR[2] – Channel A Change in Break
This bit, when set, indicates that the Channel A receiver has
detected the beginning or the end of a received break. It is reset
when the CPU issues a Channel A ‘reset break change interrupt’
command.
ISR[1] – RxA Interrupt
This bit indicates that the channel A receiver is interrupting
according to the fill level programmed by the MR0 and MR1
registers. This bit has a different meaning than the receiver
ready/full bit in the status register.
ISR[0] – TxA Interrupt
This bit indicates that the channel A transmitter is interrupting
according to the interrupt level programmed in the MR0[5:4] bits.
This bit has a different meaning than the Tx RDY bit in the status
register.
IMR – Interrupt Mask Register
The programming of this register selects which bits in the ISR
causes an interrupt output. If a bit in the ISR is a ‘1’ and the
corresponding bit in the IMR is also a ‘1’ the INTRN output will be
asserted. If the corresponding bit in the IMR is a zero, the state of
the bit in the ISR has no effect on the INTRN output. Note that the
IMR does not mask the programmable interrupt outputs OP3-OP7 or
the reading of the ISR.
CTPU and CTPL – Counter/Timer Registers
The CTPU and CTPL hold the eight MSBs and eight LSBs,
respectively, of the value to be used by the counter/timer in either
the counter or timer modes of operation. The minimum value which
may be loaded into the CTPU/CTPL registers is H‘0002’. Note that
these registers are write-only and cannot be read by the CPU.
In the timer mode, the C/T generates a square wave whose period is
twice the value (in C/T clock periods) of the CTPU and CTPL. The
waveform so generated is often used for a data clock. The formula
for calculating the divisor n to load to the CTPU and CTPL for a
particular 1X data clock is shown below.
n +
counter clock frequency
16x2xbaud rate desired
Often this division will result in a non-integer number; 26.3, for
example. One can only program integer numbers in a digital divider.
Therefore, 26 would be chosen. This gives a baud rate error of
0.3/26.3 which is 1.14%; well within the ability asynchronous mode
of operation.
If the value in CTPU and CTPL is changed, the current half-period
will not be affected, but subsequent half periods will be. The C/T will
not be running until it receives an initial ‘Start Counter’ command
(read at address A3-A0 = 1110). After this, while in timer mode, the
C/T will run continuously. Receipt of a start counter command (read
with A3-A0 = 1110) causes the counter to terminate the current
timing cycle and to begin a new cycle using the values in CTPU and
CTPL.
The counter ready status bit (ISR[3]) is set once each cycle of the
square wave. The bit is reset by a stop counter command (read
with A3-A0 = H’F’). The command however, does not stop the C/T.
The generated square wave is output on OP3 if it is programmed
to be the C/T output.
In the counter mode, the value C/T loaded into CTPU and CTPL by
the CPU is counted down to 0.. Counting begins upon receipt of a
start counter command. Upon reaching terminal count H‘0000’, the
counter ready interrupt bit (ISR[3]) is set. The counter continues
counting past the terminal count until stopped by the CPU. If OP3 is
programmed to be the output of the C/T, the output remains High
until terminal count is reached, at which time it goes Low. The
output returns to the High state and ISR[3] is cleared when the
counter is stopped by a stop counter command. The CPU may
change the values of CTPU and CTPL at any time, but the new
count becomes effective only on the next start counter commands.
If new values have not been loaded, the previous count values are
preserved and used for the next count cycle
In the counter mode, the current value of the upper and lower 8 bits
of the counter (CTU, CTL) may be read by the CPU. It is
recommended that the counter be stopped when reading to prevent
potential problems which may occur if a carry from the lower 8 bits
to the upper 8 bits occurs between the times that both halves of the
counter are read. However, note that a subsequent start counter
command will cause the counter to begin a new count cycle using
the values in CTPU and CTPL.
When the C/T clock divided by 16 is selected, the maximum divisor
becomes 1,048,575.
