HI-6110 (REMOTE TERMINAL MODE)
REMOTE TERMINAL
INITIALIZATION
The HI-6110 is configured for Remote Terminal operation by
setting the BCMODE input low and the RTMODE input high. An
alternative is programming Control Register bit 2 (BCMODE) to a
"0" and programming Control Register bit 3 (RTMODE) to a "1".
These Control Register bits are logically ORed with their
corresponding input pins.
In Remote Terminal mode, the host controller first performs a
Master Reset to initialize the RT protocol engine and clear all
message registers and data FIFOs. This may be achieved by
pulsing the MR input high, or writing a "1" and then a “0” to Control
Register bit 0. The user must select a master clock (CLK)
frequency by programming Control Register bits 11 and 12. Refer
to the RT Register Formats section for a full description of
available registers and their functions in RemoteTerminal Mode.
Figure 2. shows a block diagram of the HI-6110 in Remote
Terminal mode.
