5.2.5 Synchronous Serial I/O ConfigurationThe synchronous serial I/O unit (SSIO) is shown in Figure 5-11. Its single configuration registerbit is in the SIOCFG register (Figure 5-10). The transmit buffer empty and receive buffer full sig-nals (SSTBE and SSRBF) go to the DMA unit (Figure 5-2), and an interrupt signal (SSIOINT)goes to the ICU (Figure 5-4). Depending on the settings in the SSIOCON1 register (see Chapter13), SSIOINT is asserted for one of two conditions: the receive buffer is full or the transmit bufferis empty. Note that using the SSIO signals precludes the use of four of the SIO1 modem signals.
