EOPD - End of Packet Detect: A HIGH on this bit
confirms the reception of an ‘end of packet’ flag, an
abort sequence or an invalid packet of 24 or more
bits on the incoming data stream (CDSTi).
enables the associated interrupt source. However,
the masked bits in the IFR are still valid but they do
not cause the IRQ output to go LOW. The description
of the bits enabling the various interrupts is identical
to those of the Interrupt Flag Register.
Tx DONE - Transmitter Done: This bit, when HIGH,
indicates that the packet transmission is complete
and the Transmit FIFO is empty. The falling edge of
TEOP output causes this interrupt status bit to be set
HIGH if the FIFO is empty.
General Status Register (Read):
This register (Figure 12) contains the general status
information on the Protocol Controller.

Tx 4/19 FULL - Transmit FIFO 4/19 full: This bit if
set HIGH, indicates that the transmit FIFO has only 4
bytes remaining in it and another 15 bytes could be
loaded. This bit has significance only when the
transmit FIFO is being depleted and not when it is
getting loaded.
Rx OFLW - Receive FIFO overflow: This bit, if set
HIGH, indicates that the receive FIFO has
overflowed. The byte causing this and all the
subsequent bytes written while the FIFO is in this
state are lost. Note that this bit is the same as the Rx
OFLW bit in Interrupt Flag Register (IFR) and can
only be cleared by reading the IFR.
Tx URUN - Transmit FIFO underrun: This bit when
HIGH, identifies that the transmit FIFO is empty
without the Protocol Controller being given the ‘end
of packet’ indication. This indicates that the transmit
FIFO has underrun and the Protocol Controller will
transmit an abort sequence automatically. Tx DONE
will be set 8 bit times after Tx URUN is set.
Tx URUN - Transmit FIFO Underrun: When HIGH,
this bit indicates that the transmit FIFO has
underrun. Under this condition the packet being
transmitted is aborted. This bit is the same as the Tx
URUN bit in the Interrupt Flag Register (IFR) and can
only be cleared when the IFR is read.
Rx15/19 FULL - Receive FIFO 15/19 full: This bit
when HIGH, confirms that the receive FIFO has 15
bytes in it and it can receive four more bytes.
GA - Go Ahead: This bit is set HIGH if a ‘go ahead’
is received on the incoming data stream and is
cleared when the Interrupt Flag Register is read.
This bit is the same as the GA bit in the IFR.
Rx OFLW - Receive FIFO overflow: This bit when
set HIGH, indicates that the receive FIFO is full and
a ‘write’ occurred indicating an overflow. The byte
causing this and all the subsequent bytes written
while the FIFO is in this state are lost. The receiver
begins to search for a new start flag.
ABRT - Abort: The reception of contiguous seven
ONEs on incoming data, sets this bit HIGH and
reading the General Status Register, clears it.
IRQ - Interrupt Request: This bit refers to the status
of the interrupt request output from the Protocol
Controller. If HIGH, it indicates that the IRQ (pin 6)
output is LOW and vice versa.
Watchdog Timer Register (Write):
The Watchdog Timer Register operates in
conjunction with the Watchdog Timer and the WD
output. Writing the code of XXX0 1010 in the register
resets the WD timer. If the register is not re-written
IDLE - Idle Channel: This bit, if set HIGH, identifies
that the receiver is detecting an idle channel at its
input (minimum 15 ONEs).

within 2 cycles of F0i after resetting the timer, the
WD output goes LOW. This register serves the sole
purpose of resetting the timer and hence relevant
only if it is written with the above data.
