Table 29-43. EPnFAR Field Descriptions

Bits Name Description
31–12 Reserved, should be cleared.
11–0 ALRMP Alarm pointer. The functionality of this field depends on the direction of the FIFO. The direction,
type, and packet size are defined in the EPnSTAT registers.
For Transmitter (IN): The user writes these bits to set the low level “watermark”, which is the point
at which the FIFO asserts its request for data filling to the DMA controller. This value is in bytes.
For example, with ALARM = 32, the alarm condition will occur when the FIFO has 32 (or less)
bytes in it. The alarm, once asserted, will not negate until the high level mark is reached, as
specified by the granularity bits in the EPnFCR.
For Receiver: The user writes these bits to set the low level “watermark”, which is the point at
which the FIFO asserts its request for data emptying to the DMA controller. This value is in bytes.
For example, with ALARM = 32, the alarm condition will occur when the FIFO has 32 (or less) free
bytes in it. The alarm, once asserted will not negate until the high level mark is reached, as
specified by the granularity bits in the EPnFCR.
