3. ADDRESSING PORTS Setting the address The base address of the ES-100D is set using the two DIP switch packs. When setting the address selection switches, a switch in the "ON" position specifies that the corresponding address line must be a logic 0 for the port to be selected. Similarly, a switch in the "OFF" position forces th[...]

two, and one, hence the maximum value of 8+4+2+1 = 15. A serial por t's address is a 16-bi t quantity that is most often expressed in four hexadecimal (base 16) digit s. A hex digit can hold a value from 0 to 15 (decimal), and is made up of four binary bits given weights of eight , four, A possible seri al port address is 5240 hex. The exampl [...]

4. INTERRUPT LEVEL (IRQ) The ES-100D allows the use of any interrupt level in the range IRQ2 to IRQ7, IRQ10 to IRQ12, IRQ14, or IRQ15, selected using jumper pack J2. In Figure 6, the factory default setting of IRQ3 is shown. To select a different IRQ, move the jumper to the appropriate position on J2. 12 3456 7 8 9 1 0 1 1 IRQ7 IRQ2 IRQ3 IRQ4 IRQ5 [...]

5. 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 device[...]

Channel Output Configuration The ES-100D connects to peripheral equipment through a single female D-78 connector, or using the adapter cable, eight male D-25 connectors. The standard serial port connections are listed in Figure 11 . Unlisted pins are not used and not connected. 7 59 7 20 7 54 7 15 GND 22 78 22 39 22 73 22 34 RI 8 58 8 19 8 53 8 14 [...]

6. SERIAL PORT FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION This section contains information intended for advanced users planning to do custom programming with the ES-100D. 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-para[...]

Accessing the Serial Port registers Figure 13 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 ES-100D (s[...]

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 16. 0 IID0 --- 1 IID1 --- 2 Interrupt Identification: Indicates highest priority interrupt pending if any. See Figure 16 . NOTE: IID2 is always a logic 0 o[...]

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 20 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 availabl[...]

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. A table of baud rates available is given in Figure 22 . 2.86 2 56000 - 3 38400 - 6 192[...]
