7.5.1 Tx Task Operation
Typical stages of Tx task operation are depicted in Figure 11 and occur as follows:
1. The host writes up to 4 words of data for transmission into the Write Data C-BUS registers.
2. The host writes the Command register, specifying a data task. This results in transfer of the data
from the Write Data registers into the Tx Data Buffer.
3. Steps 1 and 2 can be repeated to load the Tx Data Buffer with a large block of data.
4. A Modem task can then be used to instruct the Tx Modulator to transmit the data in the Data
Buffer. This causes the content of the Tx Data Buffer to be coded and CRC’d (if in burst mode)
and transmitted to the MOD1 and MOD2 output pins.
5. Once the system is up and running any modem task may potentially take some time to execute as
it may have to wait for the previous task to complete.
