Description

 

 

 

 

 

D17

R/W

DTR

0

Data terminal ready active

 

 

 

 

Controls the state of the external data terminal

 

 

 

 

ready signal.

 

 

 

 

Setting DTR to 1 causes the DTR output

 

 

 

 

to go active.

 

 

 

 

Setting DTR to 0 causes the DTR output

 

 

 

 

to go inactive.

 

 

 

 

 

D16

R/W

RTS

0

Request-to-send active

 

 

 

 

Controls the state of the external request-to-

 

 

 

 

send signal.

 

 

 

 

Setting RTS to 1 causes the RTS output

 

 

 

 

to go active.

 

 

 

 

Setting RTS to 0 causes the RTS output

 

 

 

 

to go inactive.

 

 

 

 

 

D15:09

R/W

IE

0

Receiver interrupt condition

 

 

 

 

The interrupt enable bits are used to enable an

 

 

 

 

interrupt when the respective status bit is set

 

 

 

 

in Serial Channel Status A.

 

 

 

 

Setting the IE field to 1 enables the

 

 

 

 

interrupt.

 

 

 

 

Setting the IE field to 0 disables the

 

 

 

 

interrupt.

 

 

 

 

Table 86, “Receiver interrupt enable bits,” on

 

 

 

 

page 229, lists individual bit numbers and

 

 

 

 

descriptions.

 

 

 

 

 

D08

R/W

ERXDMA

0

Enable receive DMA requests

 

 

 

 

Enables the receiver to interact with a DMA

channel. When configured to operate in DMA mode, the DMA controller empties the receive data FIFO and delivers the data to memory.

The receive status information from Serial Status registers B and C automatically moves to the receive DMA buffer descriptor.

Clear this bit to pause the receiver.
