DESCRIPTION
A0
28 31 28 I Register select. A0 – A2 are used during read and write operations to select the ACE register to read

from or write to. Refer to Table 1 for register addresses, and refer to the address strobe (ADS) signal

description.
ADS
25 28 24
I Address strobe. When ADS is active (low), the register select signals (A0, A1, and A2) and chip select
signals (CS0, CS1, CS2) drive the internal select logic directly; when high, the register select and chip
select signals are held in the state they are in when the low-to-high transition of ADS occurs.
BAUDOUT 15 17 12 O Baud out. BAUDOUT is a 16 × clock signal for the transmitter section of the ACE. The clock rate is
established by the reference oscillator frequency divided by a divisor specified by the baud generator
divisor latches. BAUDOUT can also be used for the receiver section by tying this output to RCLK.
CS0
12 14 9 I Chip select. When CS0 = high, CS1 = high, and CS2 = low, these three inputs select the ACE. When
CS1
13 15 10
any of these inputs are inactive, the ACE remains inactive. Refer to the ADS signal description.
CS2
14 16 11
CTS
36 40 38
I Clear to send. CTS is a modem status signal. Its condition can be checked by reading bit 4 (CTS) of
the modem status register. Bit 0 (∆ CTS) of the modem status register indicates that this signal has
changed states since the last read from the modem status register. If the modem status interrupt is
enabled when CTS changes state, an interrupt is generated.
D0
1 2 43 I/O Data bus. Eight data lines with 3-state outputs provide a bidirectional path for data, control, and status

DCD
38 42 40
I Data carrier detect. DCD is a modem status signal. Its condition can be checked by reading bit 7 (DCD)
of the modem status register. Bit 3 (∆ DCD) of the modem status register indicates that this signal has
changed states since the last read from the modem status register. If the modem status interrupt is
enabled when DCD changes state, an interrupt is generated.
DDIS
23 26 22 O Driver disable. This output is active (high) when the CPU is not reading data. When active, this output
can disable an external transceiver.
DSR
37 41 39
I Data set ready. DSR is a modem status signal. Its condition can be checked by reading bit 5 (DSR) of
the modem status register. Bit 1 (∆ DSR) of the modem status register indicates this signal has changed
states since the last read from the modem status register. If the modem status interrupt is enabled when
DSR changes state, an interrupt is generated.
DTR
33 37 33 O Data terminal ready. When active (low), DTR informs a modem or data set that the ACE is ready to
establish communication. DTR is placed in the active state by setting the DTR bit of the modem control
register to a high level. DTR is placed in the inactive state either as a result of a master reset, during
loop mode operation, or clearing the DTR bit.
INTRPT
30 33 30 O Interrupt. When active (high), INTRPT informs the CPU that the ACE has an interrupt to be serviced.
Four conditions that cause an interrupt to be issued are: a receiver error, received data is available or
timed out (FIFO mode only), the transmitter holding register is empty, or an enabled modem status
interrupt. The INTRPT output is reset (deactivated) either when the interrupt is serviced or as a result
of a master reset.
MR
35 39 35 I Master reset. When active (high), MR clears most ACE registers and sets the state of various output
signals. Refer to Table 2.
OUT1
OUT2
34 38 34 O Outputs 1 and 2. User-designated outputs that are set to their active low states by setting their
31 35 31
respective modem control register bits (OUT1 and OUT2) high. OUT1 and OUT2 are set to their inactive
(high) states as a result of master reset, during loop mode operations, or by clearing bit 2 (OUT1) or
bit 3 (OUT2) of the modem control register.
RCLK
9 10 5 I Receiver clock. RCLK is the 16 × baud rate clock for the receiver section of the ACE.
