RDF

0

Receive Data Register Full

 

 

 

Set when the contents of the receive shift register transfer to the receive

 

 

 

data register. RDF is cleared when the DSP reads the receive data

 

 

 

register. If RIE is set, a DSP receive data interrupt request is issued when

 

 

 

RDF is set.

 

 

 

 

6

TDE

0

Transmit Data Register Empty

 

 

 

Set when the contents of the transmit data register of every enabled

 

 

 

transmitter are transferred to the transmit shift register. It is also set for a

 

 

 

TSR disabled time slot period in Network mode (as if data were being

 

 

 

transmitted after the TSR has been written). When TDE is set, TDE data is

 

 

 

written to all the TX registers of the enabled transmitters or to the TSR.

 

 

 

The TDE bit is cleared when the DSP writes to all the transmit data

 

 

 

registers of the enabled transmitters, or when the DSP writes to the TSR

 

 

 

to disable transmission of the next time slot. If the TIE bit is set, a DSP

 

 

 

transmit data interrupt request is issued when TDE is set.

 

 

 

 

5

ROE

0

Receiver Overrun Error Flag

 

 

 

Set when the serial receive shift register is filled and ready to transfer to

 

 

 

the receive data register (RX) but RX is already full (that is, the RDF bit is

 

 

 

set). If the REIE bit is set, a DSP receiver overrun error interrupt request is

 

 

 

issued when the ROE bit is set. The programmer clears ROE by reading

 

 

 

the SSISR with the ROE bit set and then reading the RX.

 

 

 

 

4

TUE

0

Transmitter Underrun Error Flag

 

 

 

Set when at least one of the enabled serial transmit shift registers is empty

 

 

 

(that is, there is no new data to be transmitted) and a transmit time slot

 

 

 

occurs. When a transmit underrun error occurs, the previous data (which

 

 

 

is still present in the TX registers not written) is retransmitted. In Normal

 

 

 

mode, there is only one transmit time slot per frame. In Network mode,

 

 

 

there can be up to 32 transmit time slots per frame. If the TEIE bit is set, a

 

 

 

DSP transmit underrun error interrupt request is issued when the TUE bit

 

 

 

is set. The programmer can also clear TUE by first reading the SSISR with

 

 

 

the TUE bit set, then writing to all the enabled transmit data registers or to

 

 

 

the TSR.
