FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Bits BI, FE, PE, and OE are the sources of receiver line status interrupts. The bits are reset by reading the line status register . In FIFO mode, these bits are associated with a specific character in the FIFO and the exception is revealed only when that character reaches the top of the FIFO.

BI

-

Break

Interrupt:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Indicates the receive data input has been in the

 

 

spacing state (logic 0) for longer

than

one

full

 

 

word

transmission

time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

FIFO

mode:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only

one

zero character is loaded into the FIFO

 

 

and

transfers are disabled

until SIN goes to

the

 

 

m a r k s t a t e ( l o g i c 1 ) a n d a v a l i d s t a r t b i t i s

 

 

received.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FE

-

Framing Error:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Indicates the received character had an invalid

 

 

stop

bit.

The

stop

bit following

the

last

data

 

 

or parity bit was

a 0

bit (spacing level).

 

 

PE

-

Parity Error:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Indicates

that

the

received

data

does

not

have

 

 

the

correct parity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

OE

-

Overrun Error:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Indicates

the receive buffer was not read before

 

 

the

next

character was received and the

character

 

 

is destroyed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FIFO

mode:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Indicates

the FIFO is full and another character

 

 

has been shifted in. The character in the shift

 

 

register

is destroyed but

is

not

transferred to

 

 

the

FIFO.
