15–0 TB15:0 Transmit Buffer Bits:
These bits make up the next data word to be transmitted . The control
logic loads this word into the tran smit shift register. The transmit shift
register shifts the bits out on the falling edge of the tranmitter clock p in.
The word is transmitted out starting with the most-significant bit (TB15).
