I . GENERAL INFORMATION The Quatech, Inc. DS-102 provides two RS-232 asynchronous serial communication interfaces for IBM-compatible personal computer systems using the ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) expansion bus. The DS-102's two serial ports are implemented using 16450 Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitters (UARTs). For higher p[...]

III . ENABLING AND ADDRESSING PORTS Setting the address Each serial port on the DS-102 uses 8 consecutive I/O locations in the range of 0000 hex to 07FF hex. The base address of each port is set using a DIP switch pack on the DS-102. When setting the address selection switches, a switch in the "ON" position specifies that the correspondin[...]

The standard addresses for serial ports COM1 and COM2 are listed in Figure 5 . Recommended addresses for serial ports COM3 and COM4 are also listed. The switch settings for these addresses are shown in Figure 4 . 02E8 hex COM4 Recommendations only.

IV . SETTING INTERRUPT LEVELS ( IRQ S) The DS-102 interrupt circuitry allows each port to use any interrupt level in the range IRQ2 through IRQ7. The interrupt levels are selected using jumper packs J5 for Serial 1 and J6 for Serial 2. In Figure 7 , the factory default settings for Serial 1 and Serial 2 are shown. IRQ7 IRQ2 IRQ3 IRQ4 IRQ5 IRQ6 Seri[...]

Interrupt Sharing An interrupt sharing circuit allows a port on the DS-102 to share an interrupt with the other port on the board or with another Quatech adapter supporting sharable interrupts. When interrupt sharing is used, the software must query each port attached to a given IRQ level when an interrupt for that IRQ is received by the computer. [...]

V . EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS RS-232-C devices are classified by their function as either Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) or Data Communication Equipment (DCE). Generally, data terminal equipment is defined as the communication source and data communication equipment is defined as the device that provides a communication channel between two DTE-type devic[...]

To simplify connections to other devices, each port on the DS-102 is equipped with a jumper block that allows the port to be configured as either a DTE- or DCE-type device. This allows the DS-102 to communicate with either DTE- or DCE-type devices without using a null modem cable. J7 is used for Serial 1 and J8 is used for Serial 2. The DTE/DCE sel[...]

The DS-102 connects to peripheral equipment through male D-9 connectors. Adapters are available to convert these connectors into standard D-25 male connectors. The standard serial port connections are listed in Figure 13 . 22 9 22 9 Ring Indicator (RI) 4 7 5 8 Clear To Send (CTS) 5 8 4 7 Request To Send (RTS) 20 4 6 6 Data Set Ready (DSR) 7 5 7 5 S[...]

VI . SERIAL PORT FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION This section contains information intended for advanced users planning to do custom programming with the DS-102. The information presented here is a technical description of the interface to the 16450 or 16550 UART. The 16450 UART is an improved functional equivalent of the 8250 UART, performing serial-to-par[...]

Accessing the Serial Port registers Figure 15 lists the address map for the 16450 and 16550 UARTs. Each register can be accessed by reading from or writing to the proper I/O address. This I/O address is determined by adding an offset to the base address set for the particular serial port. The base address is set using DIP switches on the DS-102 (se[...]

INTERRUPT ENABLE REGISTER This register is located at I/O address [base+1]. It enables the five types of UART interrupts. Interrupts can be totally disabled by setting all of the enable bits in this register to a logic 0. Setting any bit to a logic 1 enables that particular interrupt. ETBEI --- Received Data Available Interrupt: When set (logic 1),[...]

IP --- Interrupt pending: When logic 0, indicates that an interrupt is pending and the contents of the interrupt identification register may be used to determine the interrupt source. See Figure 18 . 0 IID0 --- 1 IID1 --- 2 Interrupt Identification: Indicates highest priority interrupt pending if any. See Figure 18 . NOTE: IID2 is always a logic 0 [...]

FIFO CONTROL REGISTER (16550 only) This register, which applies only to the 16550 UART, is a write-only register located at I/O address [base+2]. It is used to enable the FIFO mode, clear the FIFOs, set the threshold level for the receive FIFO to generate interrupts, and to set the mode under which the device uses DMA. Note that DMA mode is NOT sup[...]

LINE CONTROL REGISTER This register is located at I/O address [base+3]. It is used for specifying the format of the asynchronous serial data to be processed by the UART, and to set the Divisor Latch Access Bit (DLAB) allowing access to the baud rate divisor latches. WLS0 --- 0 Word length select: Determines the number of bits per transmitted word. [...]

MODEM CONTROL REGISTER This register is located at I/O address [base+4], and is used to control the interface with the modem or device used in place of a modem. This register allows the states of the "modem control signals" to be changed. These are DTR (Data Terminal Ready) and RTS (Request To Send). It is also possible to place the UART [...]

LINE STATUS REGISTER This register is located at I/O address [base+5]. It is used to provide various types of status information concerning the data transfer. As Figure 22 shows, the Line Status Register indicates several types of errors, an empty transmit buffer, a ready receive buffer, or a break on the receive line. DR --- Data ready: Indicates [...]

MODEM STATUS REGISTER This register is located at I/O address [base+6]. It reports on the status of signals coming from the modem or equipment used in place of a modem. It allows the current states of "modem control signals" to be sensed. These signals include the DCD (Data Carrier Detect), RI (Ring Indicator), DSR (Data Set Ready), and C[...]

FIFO INTERRUPT MODE OPERATION (16550 UART only) When the receiver FIFO and receiver interrupts are enabled: 1 . The receive data interrupt is issued when the receive FIFO reaches the trigger level. The interrupt is cleared as soon as the receive FIFO falls below the trigger level. 2 . The Interrupt Identification Register's receive data availa[...]

FIFO polled mode operation (16550 UART only) The receiver and transmitter are operated independently, which would allow either or both to be used in a polled mode rather than using interrupts to determine when the UART needs to be serviced. To use the UART in a polled mode, the software is responsible for continuously checking for the conditions th[...]

BAUD RATE SELECTION The 16450 or 16550 UART determines the baud rate of the serial output using a combination of the clock input frequency and the value written to the divisor latches. Standard personal computer serial interfaces use an input clock of 1.8432 MHz. To increase versatility, the DS-102 uses an 18.432 MHz crystal and a frequency divider[...]
