current singular highest priority interrupt only. It could
be noted that CTS and RTS interrupts have lowest
interrupt priority. A condition can exist where a higher
priority interrupt may mask the lower priority CTS/
RTS interrupt(s). Only after servicing the higher pend-
ing interrupt will the lower priority CTS/ RTS
interrupt(s) be reflected in the status register. Servic-
ing the interrupt without investigating further interrupt
conditions can result in data errors.
When two interrupt conditions have the same priority,
it is important to service these interrupts correctly.
Receive Data Ready and Receive Time Out have the
same interrupt priority (when enabled by IER bit-3).
The receiver issues an interrupt after the number of
characters have reached the programmed trigger
level. In this case the 654 FIFO may hold more
characters than the programmed trigger level. Follow-
ing the removal of a data byte, the user should recheck
LSR bit-0 for additional characters. A Receive Time
Out will not occur if the receive FIFO is empty. The
time out counter is reset at the center of each stop bit
received or each time the receive holding register
(RHR) is read. The actual time out value is T (Time out
length in bits) = 4 X P (Programmed word length) + 12.
To convert the time out value to a character value, the
user has to consider the complete word length, includ-
ing data information length, start bit, parity bit, and the
size of stop bit, i.e., 1X, 1.5X, or 2X bit times.
Example -A: If the user programs a word length of 7,
with no parity and one stop bit, the time out will be:
T = 4 X 7( programmed word length) +12 = 40 bit times.
The character time will be equal to 40 / 9 = 4.4
characters, or as shown in the fully worked out ex-
ample: T = [(programmed word length = 7) + (stop bit
= 1) + (start bit = 1) = 9]. 40 (bit times divided by 9) =
4.4 characters.
Example -B: If the user programs the word length = 7,
with parity and one stop bit, the time out will be:
T = 4 X 7(programmed word length) + 12 = 40 bit times.
Character time = 40 / 10 [ (programmed word length
= 7) + (parity = 1) + (stop bit = 1) + (start bit = 1) = 4
characters.

board designer can optionally provide software con-
trolled three state interrupt operation. This is accom-
plished by INTSEL and MCR bit-3. When INTSEL
interface pin is left open or made a logic 0, MCR bit-
3 controls the three state interrupt outputs, INT A-D.
When INTSEL is a logic 1, MCR bit-3 has no effect on
the INT A-D outputs and the package operates with
interrupt outputs enabled continuously.
Programmable Baud Rate Generator
The 654 supports high speed modem technologies
that have increased input data rates by employing
data compression schemes. For example a 33.6Kbps
modem that employs data compression may require a
115.2Kbps input data rate. A 128.0Kbps ISDN modem
that supports data compression may need an input
data rate of 460.8Kbps. The 654 can support a stan-
dard data rate of 921.6Kbps.
A dual baud rate generator is provided for the
transmitter and receiver, allowing independent TX/
RX channel control. The programmable Baud Rate
Generator is capable of accepting an input clock up
to 24 MHz, as required for supporting a 1.5Mbps
data rate. The 654 can be configured for internal or
external clock operation. For internal clock oscilla-
tor operation, an industry standard microprocessor
