I/O
Line printer acknowledge. ACK goes low to indicate a successful data transfer has taken place. ACK
generates a printer port interrupt during its positive transition.
Line printer autofeed. AFD is an open-drain line that provides the printer with an active-low signal when
continuous form paper is to be autofed to the printer. AFD has an internal pullup resistor to VDD of
approximately 10 kΩ .
Address. The address lines A0 – A2 select the internal registers during CPU bus operations. See Table
2 for the decode of the serial channels and Table 13 for the decode of the parallel printer port.
Bus buffer. BDO is the active-high output and is asserted when either the serial channel or the parallel
port is read. BDO controls the system bus driver (74LS245 or 54LS245).
Line printer busy. BUSY is an input line from the printer that goes high when the printer is not ready
to accept data.
Clock. CLK is the external clock input to the baud rate divisor of each ACE.
Chip select. Each CSx input acts as an enable for the write and read signals for serial channels 1 (CS0)
and 2 (CS1). CS2 enables the signals to the printer port.
Clear to send. The logical state of each CTSx terminal is reflected in the CTS bit of the modem status
register (CTS is bit 4 of the modem status register, written as MSR4) of each ACE. A change of state
in either CTS terminal since the previous reading of the associated MSR causes the setting of
∆
CTS
(MSR0) of each modem status register.
Data bits DB0 – DB7. The data bus provides eight I/O lines with 3-state outputs for the transfer of data,
control, and status information between the TL16C552A and the CPU. These lines are normally in the
high-impedance state except during read operations. DB0 is the least significant bit (LSB) and is the
first serial data bit to be received or transmitted.
Data carrier detect. DCD is a modem input. Its condition can be tested by the CPU by reading MSR7
(DCD) of the modem status registers. MSR3 (∆ DCD) of the modem status register indicates whether
DCD has changed states since the previous reading of the MSR. DCD has no effect on the receiver.
Data set ready. The logical state of the DSRx terminals is reflected in MSR5 of its associated modem
status register.
∆
DSR (MSR1) indicates whether the associated DSRx terminal has changed states
since the previous reading of the MSR.
Data terminal ready. Each DTRx can be set low by setting MCR0, modem control register bit 0 of its
associated ACE. DTRx is cleared (high) by clearing the DTR bit (MCR0) or whenever a reset occurs.
When active (low), DTRx indicates that its ACE is ready to receive data.
Parallel port interrupt source mode selection. When ENIRQ is low, the AT mode of interrupts is enabled.
In AT mode, INT2 is internally connected to ACK. When ENIRQ is tied high, the PS-2 mode of interrupt
is enabled and INT2 is internally tied to the inverse of the PRINT bit in the line printer status register.
INT2 is latched high on the rising edge of ACK. INT2 is held until the status register is read, which then
clears the PRINT status bit and INT2.
Line printer error. ERR is an input line from the printer. The printer reports an error by holding ERR low
during the error condition.
Ground (0 V). All terminals must be tied to GND for proper operation.
I/O
Line printer initialize. INIT is an open-drain line that provides the printer with an active-low signal that
allows the printer initialization routine to be started. INIT has an internal pullup resistor to VDD of
approximately 10 kΩ.
External serial channel interrupt. Each serial channel interrupt 3-state output (enabled by bit 3 of the
MCR) goes active (high) when one of the following interrupts has an active (high) condition and is
enabled by the interrupt enable register of its associated channel: receiver error flag, received data
available, transmitter holding register empty, and modem status. The interrupt is cleared on appropriate
service. Upon reset, the interrupt output is in the high-impedance state.
