The input part of the I/O pins is always active. The programming of the IOPCR bits to 00 merely turns off the out drivers and places

the pin at high impedance.

A read of the IPR register returns the value of the IPR bits as shown above. IPR(5) is at bit position 5 of the data bus. Note that the IPR bit

positions do not follow the 0, 1, 2, 3 order of the I/O ports. During a read of the IPR the I/O ports are not latched. Therefore, it is possible to see

changing data during the read. Port pins that have clocks on them may not yield valid data during the read.

Since the input circuits of the I/O ports are always active it is possible to direct the port signal back into the port. For example: I/O1 will output

the RTS signal. Setting the Counter/Timer (C/T) to be clocked by the I/O1 port will result in the counter counting the number of times RTS goes

active. The change of state detectors on I/O0 and I/O1 will, when programmed, always be sensitive to the signal on the port regardless of the

source of that port’s signal.

NOTES:

1. Normal configurations place RTSN output on I/O1 and place Tx external clock input on I/O3. For the 48 pin Dual In-Line package, I/O3 is

not available. The following options allow flexible I/O programming with the 48 pin package:

When IOPCR(7:6), the I/O3 control,

≠ 00, then I/O1 becomes available to the transmitter as an external clock.

When IOPCR(5:4), the I/O2 control, = 01, then I/O2 may be the RTSN signal if MR1(7) = 1 and OPR(4) = 1.

2. I/O1 becomes RTSN when IOPCR(3:2) = 01 and MR1(7) = 1 and OPR(1) = 1. (OPR(3) for channel B)

Registers of the Interrupt System

The CIR, and “Global” registers are updated with the IACKN signal

or from the “Update CIR” command at hex address 2A. These

registers are not updated when IRQN is asserted since there could

be a long time between the assertion of IRQN and the start of the

interrupt service routine. (See notes following this section).
