Intelligent Two-Channel LAN and WAN Communications Controller — CD2231
Datasheet
137
At the end of an interrupt service routine, the user can set a timer by setting a timer
value in the Transmit Interrupt Status register. When the timer reaches ‘0’, the
CD2231 generates a modem/timer group interrupt to the host.
Bit 3
No transfer of data
This bit must be set by the host, if no data is transferred to the transmit FIFO during
a data transfer interrupt.
Bits 2:0
Reserved – must be ‘0’.
8.5.4
Modem Interrupt Registers
8.5.4.1
Modem Priority Interrupt Level Register (MPILR)
This register must be initialized by the host to contain the codes that are presented on the address
bus by the host system to indicate which of the three CD2231 interrupt types (modem, transmit, or
receive) is being acknowledged when IACKIN* is asserted. The CD2231 compares bits 0–6 in this
register with A[6:0] to determine if the acknowledge level is correct. The value programmed in the
MSB of this register has no effect on the IACK cycle.
The MPILR must contain the code used to acknowledge modem/timer interrupts.
Note:
Bit 7 of this register is always read back as ‘0’. When each of the three Priority Interrupt Level
registers is programmed with the same value, they are internally prioritized, with receive as the
highest priority, followed by transmit and modem.
8.5.4.2
Modem Interrupt Register (MIR)
Bit 7
Mer
Modem enable is set by the CD2231 to initiate a modem interrupt request sequence.
It is cleared during a valid modem interrupt acknowledge cycle.
Bit 6
Mact
Modem active is set automatically when Men is set, and the Fair Share logic allows
