This register is only used during EPP mode.
The CD1284 deposits the value obtained during an EPP address write command in this register.
The CD1284 provides this value in response to an EPP address read command.

This register holds the 8-bit value used to set the Host timeout period. The HTVR is an unsigned,
binary value. The reset state of this register is ‘0xFF’.
A function missing in Revision C and earlier devices is an on-chip timer to indicate that the remote
host has not responded in a specified time period. The Host timeout is defined in the IEEE STD
1284 specification as a period of one second.
Revision D and newer devices add a user-programmable timer to provide a timeout if the remote
host does not respond to specific parallel port transactions. The timer is started by the parallel port
state machine each time it starts a sequence requiring a host response. Activation of the timer is
automatic and an interrupt is generated to the local host CPU if the timer expires before the remote
host responds.
Note:
Users familiar with the IEEE specification note that the events that start the timer cause the
peripheral device to wait for a remote host-generated event. For example, during the negotiation
sequence after event 2, the peripheral waits for event 3 – a host-generated event. If the host does
not respond and moves the negotiation sequence to event 4 within one second, the peripheral enters
the ‘host timeout’ condition.
The timer is a 14-bit counter clocked by the system clock (CLK) prescaled (divided) by 2048. Then
the 8-bit HTVR (address offset 0x24) is programmed and compared with the most-significant 8 bits
of the 14-bit counter. Each time the parallel port executes an event requiring a host response, the
