11 / 49 page Philips Semiconductors Product specification SC26C198 SC68C198 SC26L198 SC68L198 Octal UART with TTL compatibility at 3.3V and 5V supply voltages 1995 May 1 346 every 22 Sclk cycles. New arbitration values presented to the arbitration block during an arbitration cycle will be evaluated in the next arbitration cycle. For sources other than receiver and transmitters the user may set the high order bits of an interrupt source’s bid value, thus tailoring the relative priority of the interrupt sources. The priority of the receivers and transmitters is controlled by the fill level of their respective FIFOs. The more filled spaces in the RxFIFO the higher the bid value; the more empty spaces in the TxFIFO the higher its priority. Channels whose programmable high order bits are set will be given interrupt priority higher than those with zeros in their high order bits , thus allowing increased flexibility. The transmitter and receiver bid values contain the character counts of the associated FIFOs as high order bits in the bid value. Thus, as a receiver’s RxFIFO fills, it bids with a progressively higher priority for interrupt service. Similarly, as empty space in a transmitter’s TxFIFO increases, its interrupt arbitration priority increases. IACKN Cycle, Update CIR When the host CPU responds to the interrupt, it will usually assert the IACKN signal low. This will cause the OCTART to generate an IACKN cycle in which the condition of the interrupting device is determined. When IACKN asserts, the last valid interrupt number is captured in the CIR. The value captured presents most of the important details of the highest priority interrupt at the moment the IACKN (or the ”Update CIR” command) was asserted. The Octal UART will respond to the IACKN cycle with an interrupt vector. The interrupt vector may be a fixed value, the content of the Interrupt Vector Register, or ,when ”Interrupt Vector Modification is enabled via ICR, it may contain codes for the interrupt type and/or interrupting channel. This allows the interrupt vector to steer the interrupt service directly to the proper service routine. The interrupt value captured in the CIR remains until another IACKN cycle occurs or until an ”Update CIR” command is given to the OCTART. The interrupting channel and interrupt type fields of the CIR set the current ”interrupt context” of the OCTART. The channel component of the interrupt context allows the use of Global Interrupt Information registers that appear at fixed positions in the register address map. For example, a read of the Global RxFIFO will read the channel B RxFIFO if the CIR interrupt context is channel b receiver. At another time read of the GRxFIFO may read the channel D RxFIFO (CIR holds a channel D receiver interrupt) and so on. Global registers exist to facilitate qualifying the interrupt parameters and for writing to and reading from FIFOs without explicitly addressing them. The CIR will load with x’00 if IACKN or Update CIR is asserted when the arbitration circuit is NOT asserting and interrupt. In this condition there is no arbitration value that exceeds the threshold value. Polling Many users prefer polled to interrupt driven service where there are a large number of fast data channels and/or the host CPU’s other interrupt overhead is low. The Octal UART is functional in this environment. The most efficient method of polling is the use of the ”update CIR” command (with the interrupt threshold set to zero) followed by a read of the CIR. This dummy write cycle will perform the same CIR capture function that an IACKN falling edge would accomplish in an interrupt driven system. A subsequent read of the CIR, at the same address, will give information about an interrupt, if any. If the CIR contains 0s, no interrupt is awaiting service. If the value is non–zero, the fields of the CIR may be decoded for type, channel and character count information. Optionally, the global interrupt registers may be read for particular information about the interrupt status or use of the global RxD and TxD registers for data transfer as appropriate. The interrupt context will remain in the CIR until another update CIR command or an IACKN cycle is initiated by the host CPU occurs. The CIR loads with x’00 if Update CIR is asserted when the arbitration circuit has NOT detected arbitration value that exceeds the threshold value. Traditional methods of polling status registers may also be used. They of course are less efficient but give the most variable and quickest method of changing the order in which interrupt sources are evaluated and interrogated. Enabling and Activating Interrupt sources An interrupt source becomes enabled when its interrupt capability is set by writing to the Interrupt Mask Register, IMR. An interrupt source can never generate an IRQN or have its ”bid” or interrupt number appear in the CIR unless the source has been enabled by the appropriate bit in an IMR. An interrupt source is active if it is presenting its bid to the interrupt arbiter for evaluation. Most sources have simple activation requirements. The watch-dog timer, break received, Xon/Xoff or Address Recognition and change of state interrupts become active when the associated events occur and the arbitration value generated thereby exceeds the threshold value programmed in the ICR (Interrupt Control Register). The transmitter and receiver functions have additional controls to modify the condition upon which the initiation of interrupt ”bidding” begins: the TxINT and RxINT fields of the MR0 and MR2 registers. These fields can be used to start bidding or arbitration when the RxFIFO is not empty, 50% full, 75% full or 100% full. For the transmitter it is not full, 50% empty, 75% empty and empty. Example: To increase the probability of transferring the contents of a nearly full RxFIFO, do not allow it to start bidding until 50% or 75% full. This will prevent its relatively high priority from winning the arbitration process at low fill levels. A high threshold level could accomplish the same thing, but may also mask out low priority interrupt sources that must be serviced. Note that for fast channels and/or long interrupt latency times using this feature should be used with caution since it reduces the time the host CPU has to respond to the interrupt request before receiver overrun occurs. Setting Interrupt Priorities The bid or interrupt number presented to the interrupt arbiter is composed of character counts, channel codes, fixed and programmable bit fields. The interrupt values are generated for various interrupt sources as shown in the table below: The value represented by the bits 9 to 3 in the table below are compared against the value represented by the “Threshold. The “Threshold” ,bits 6 to 0 of the ICR (Interrupt Control Register), is aligned such that bit 6 of the threshold is compared to bit 9 of the interrupt value generated by any of the sources. When ever the value of the interrupt source is greater than the threshold the interrupt will be generated. The channel number arbitrates only against other channels. The threshold is not used for the channel arbitration. This results in channel D having the highest arbitration number. The decreasing order is H to A. If all other parts of an arbitration are equal then the channel number will determine which channel will dominate in the arbitration process . |
