Note 1* The General Register set is accessible only when DS is a logic 0.
Note 2* The Baud Rate register set is accessible only when DS is a logic 0 and LCR bit-7 is a logic 1.
Time Out Interrupts
The interrupts are enabled by IER bits 0-3. Care must be taken when handling these interrupts. Following a
reset the transmitter interrupt is enabled, the SocketModem will issue an interrupt to indicate that transmit
holding register is empty. This interrupt must be serviced prior to continuing operations.
The LSR register provides the current singular highest priority interrupt only. A condition can exist where a
higher priority interrupt may mask the lower priority interrupt(s). Only after servicing the higher pending
interrupt will the lower priority interrupt(s) be reflected in the status register. Servicing the interrupt without
investigating further interrupt conditions can result in data errors. When two interrupt conditions have the
same priority, it is important to service these interrupts correctly.
Receive Data Ready and Receive Time Out have the same interrupt priority (when enabled by IER bit-3).
The receiver issues an interrupt after the number of characters received have reached the programmed
trigger level. In this case the MMM FIFO may hold more characters than the programmed trigger level.
Following the removal of a data byte, the user should recheck LSR bit-0 for additional characters. A
Receive Time Out will not occur if the receive FIFO is empty. The time out counter is reset at the center of
each stop bit received or each time the receive holding register (RHR) is read.
