TBR16: 10BASE-T INTERRUPT Status and Enable
Register (Register 16)
and interrupt enable bits. The status is always updated
whether or not the interrupt enable bits are set. When
an interrupt occurs, the system will need to read the in-
terrupt register to clear the status bits and determine
the course of action needed. See Table 74.
The Interrupt bits indicate when there is a change in the
Link Status, Duplex Mode, Auto-Negotiation status, or
Speed status. Register 16 contains the interrupt status
Table 74. TBR16: 10BASE-T INTERRUPT Status and Enable Register (Register 16)

1 = When this bit is set, setting bits 12:9 of this register
will cause a condition that will set bits 4:1
accordingly. The effect is to test the register bits with
a forced interrupt condition.

bits in 12:9 are set) occurs.

Note:
1. All bits, except bit 13, are cleared on read (COR). The register must be read twice to see if it has been cleared.
