Stop pulse is 2 clocks wide for Quiet mode, 3 clocks wide for Continuous mode.
There may be none, one or more Idle states during the Stop Frame.
The next IRQSER cycle’s Start Frame pulse may or may not start immediately
after the turn-around clock of the Stop Frame.
This makes a total low pulse width of four to eight
clocks. Finally, the Host Controller will drive the
IRQSER back high for one clock, then tri-state.
IRQSER Cycle Control
There are two modes of operation for the
IRQSER Start Frame.
Any IRQSER Device (i.e., The FDC37B72x)
which detects any transition on an IRQ/Data line
for which it is responsible must initiate a Start
Frame in order to update the Host Controller
unless the IRQSER is already in an IRQSER
Cycle and the IRQ/Data transition can be
delivered in that IRQSER Cycle.
1) Quiet (Active) Mode: Any device may initiate
a Start Frame by driving the IRQSER low for one
clock, while the IRQSER is Idle. After driving low
for one clock the IRQSER must immediately be
tri-stated without at any time driving high. A Start
Frame may not be initiated while the IRQSER is
Active. The IRQSER is Idle between Stop and
Start Frames. The IRQSER is Active between
Start and Stop Frames. This mode of operation
allows the IRQSER to be Idle when there are no
IRQ/Data transitions which should be most of the
time.
2) Continuous (Idle) Mode: Only the Host
controller can initiate a Start Frame to update
IRQ/Data line information. All other IRQSER
agents become passive and may not initiate a
Start Frame. IRQSER will be driven low for four
to eight clocks by Host Controller. This mode
has two functions. It can be used to stop or idle
the IRQSER or the Host Controller can operate
IRQSER in a continuous mode by initiating a
Start Frame at the end of every Stop Frame.
Once a Start Frame has been initiated the Host
Controller will take over driving the IRQSER low
in the next clock and will continue driving the
IRQSER low for a programmable period of three
to seven clocks.
An IRQSER mode transition can only occur
during the Stop Frame. Upon reset, IRQSER
bus is defaulted to Continuous mode,
