24 2-POR T RS-232/422/485 PCI HOST ADAPTER Appendix A: Interrupt Handling A.1 The Purpose and Early History of Interrupts A good analogy of a PC interrupt would be the phone ringing. The phone “bell” is a request for us to stop what we are currently doing and take up another task (speak to the person on the other end of the line). This is the s[...]

25 APPENDIX A: Interrupt Handling A.2 Why Use an Interrupt Status Port (ISP)? The answer to the polling inefficiency was the Interrupt Status Port (ISP). The ISP is a read-only 8-bit register that sets a corresponding bit when an interrupt is pending. Port 1’s interrupt line corresponds with bit D0 of the status port, Port 2’s with D1, etc. The[...]

28 2-POR T RS-232/422/485 PCI HOST ADAPTER Appendix C: Electrical Inter faces C.1 RS-232 Quite possibly the most widely used communication standard is RS-232. This implementation has been defined and revised several times and is often referred to as EIA/TIA-232. The IBM PC/AT computer defined the RS-232 port on a 9-pin D-subminiature connector, and[...]

29 APPENDIX C: Asynchronous Communications C.3 RS-485 RS-485 is backward-compatible with RS-422; however, it is optimized for partyline or multidrop applications. The output of the RS-422/485 driver is capable of being Active (enabled) or Tristate (disabled). This capability allows multiple ports to be connected in a multidrop bus and selectively p[...]

30 2-POR T RS-232/422/485 PCI HOST ADAPTER Appendix D: Asynchronous Communication In serial data communication, individual bits of a character are transmitted consecutively to a receiver that assembles the bits back into a character. Data rate, error checking, handshaking, and character framing (start/stop bits) are pre- defined and must correspond[...]

31 APPENDIX D: Asynchronous Communication Because each bit in asynchronous communications is sent consecutively, it is easy to generalize asynchronous communications by stating that each character is wrapped (framed) by pre-defined bits to mark the beginning and end of the serial transmission of the character. The data rate and communication parame[...]
