Comments
If External Status changes:
• Transfer RRD to CPU
• Perform Error routines (include Break
detection)
• Return from Interrupt
If used with processors other
than the Z80, the modified
interrupt vector (RR2) should
be returned to the CPU in the
interrupt acknowledge
sequence.
If special receive condition occurs:
• Transfer RR1 to CPU
• D6 Special Error (such as framing error)
routine
• Return from Interrupt
Redefine Receive/Transmit Interrupt modes
Disable Transmit/Receive modes
Update modem control outputs (such as RTS
off)
When Transmit or Receive
Data transfer is complete.
In Transmit, the all sent status
bit indicates transmission is
complete.
Asynchronous Receive
An Asynchronous Receive operation begins when the Receive Enable bit is
set. If the Auto Enables option is selected, DCD must be Low. A Low
(spacing) condition on the Receive Data input (RxD) indicates a start bit. If
this Low persists for at least one-half of a bit time, the start bit is assumed to
be valid and the data input is then sampled at mid-bit time until the entire
character is assembled. This method of detecting a start bit improves error
rejection when noise spikes exist on an otherwise marking line.
If the x1 clock mode is selected, bit synchronization must be accom-
plished externally. Receive data is sampled on the rising edge of RxC.
The receiver inserts 1s when a character length of other than eight bits is
