Register Description
AMD
6–30
Bit 7: Break/Abort IE
If this bit is set to ‘1’, a change in the Break/Abort status of the receiver causes an Exter-
nal/Status interrupt. This bit is set by a channel or hardware reset.
Bit 6: Tx Underrun/EOM
If this bit is set to ‘1’, a change of state by the Tx Underrun/EOM latch in the transmitter
causes an External/Status interrupt. This bit is set to ‘1’ by a channel or hardware reset.
Bit 5: CTS IE
If this bit is set ‘1’, a change of state on the
CTS
pin causes an External/Status interrupt.
This bit is set by a channel or hardware reset.
Bit 4: SYNC/Hunt IE
If this bit is set to ‘1’, a change of state on the
SYNC
pin causes an External/Status inter-
rupt in Asynchronous mode, and a change of state in the Hunt bit in the receiver causes
an External/Status interrupt in synchronous modes. This bit is set by a channel or hard-
ware reset.
Bit 3: DCD IE
If this bit is set to ‘1’, a change of state on the
DCD
pin causes an External/Status inter-
rupt. This bit is set by a channel or hardware reset.
Bit 2 10x19–Bit Frame Status FIFO Enable
If this bit is set to ‘1’, the 10X19-bit FIFO array and 14-bit counter are available for use but
only if the SCC is programmed in SDLC mode.
Bit 1: Zero Count IE
If this bit is set to ‘1’, an External/Status interrupt is generated whenever the counter in
the baud rate generator reaches ‘0’. This bit is set to ‘0’ by a channel or hardware reset.
Bit 0: SDLC/HDLC Enhancement Enable
If this bit is set to ‘1’, WR7
′
can be accessed as WR7
′
to allow the use of special SDLC/
HDLC options. Refer to WR7
′
for details.
6.3
The SCC contains nine read registers in each channel. The status of these registers is
continually changing and depends on the mode of communication, received and transmit-
ted data, and the manner in which this data is transferred to and from the CPU. The fol-
lowing description details the bit assignments for each register.
READ REGIS T ERS
6.3.1
Read Register 0 (T ransmit/Rec eive Buffer S tatus
and External S tatus)
Read Register 0 contains the status of the receive and transmit buffers. RR0 also con-
tains the status bits for the six sources of External/Status interrupts. The bit configuration
is illustrated in Figure 6–18.
