Bit 4:
DTR
/
REQ
Timing Mode
This bit controls the timing of the
DTR
/
REQ
pin. If this bit is set to ‘1’, the deactivation tim-
ing of the
DTR
/
REQ
pin is made identical to the
WAIT
/
REQ
pin.
Bit 3: TxD Forced High in SDLC NRZI Mode
If this bit is set to ‘1’, and the transmitter is disabled while the SCC is programmed in
SDLC mode with NRZI encoding, the
TxD
pin will be pulled to a high physical state.
Bit 2: Auto
RTS
Deactivation
This bit synchronizes the deactivation of
RTS
with the closing flag of an SDLC frame. If
this bit is set to ‘1’ and the user deactivates
RTS
while the CRC characters are being
transmitted, the SCC assures that the last bit of the flag character is transmitted before
deactivating
RTS
.
Bit 1: Auto EOM Reset
This bit removes the requirement of having to reset the Tx Underrun/EOM latch during
the transmission of a frame. If this bit is set to ‘1’, the Tx Underrun/EOM latch will be
automatically reset by the SCC after the first byte is transmitted.
Bit 0: Auto Tx Flag
This bit removes the requirement of having to wait for the mark idle and flag characters to
be sent before the first data character of a new frame is written to the transmit buffer reg-
ister (WR8). If this bit is set to ‘1’, the user need only write the first character to the trans-
mit buffer. The SCC will then transmit the opening flag followed by data.
6.2.9
WR8 is the transmit buffer register.
Write Register 8 (T ransmit Buffer)
6.2.10
WR9 is the Master Interrupt Control register and contains the Reset command bits. Only
one WR9 exists in the SCC and can be accessed from either channel. The interrupt con-
trol bits can be programmed at the same time as the Reset command because these bits
are reset only by a hardware reset. Bit positions for WR9 are shown in Figure 6–10.
