Parallel FIFO Threshold Register
This register sets the FIFO threshold for initiating DMA requests for data transfer. The value is
expressed in bytes. Whenever DMAen is true, regular comparisons are made between the PFQR
and the PFTR. If the value in the PFQR is greater than or equal to the threshold, the DMA request
logic becomes active and remains active until the FIFO is essentially filled or emptied. An odd
character or space in the FIFO can remain.
In the receive direction, the Holding register pipeline (PFHR1 and PFHR2) are kept filled, so that
tagged data (for example, ECP mode addresses) can be detected and passed to the host by an
interrupt. For example, if the FIFO and data pipeline are initialized for receive, and 40 hex bytes
are placed into the FIFO from the parallel port, the first two of those bytes automatically are placed
in the Pipeline registers. If the PFTR were programmed to x’40 bytes, x’42 bytes must arrive to
trigger a DMA transfer.
PFTR is cleared by device reset; it is not cleared by FIFOres.
Run Length Count Register
This register works with the Holding registers (PFHR1 and PFHR2) to perform run-length
encoding and decoding when RLEen is set (PFCR[3]). The parallel port must be in ECP mode; in
other modes, run-length encoding does not occur.
Stale: This bit is set when the stale data timer expires (see the description of SDTPR). If a single byte
remains in the data pipeline when this bit is set, a host interrupt is generated, the OneChar bit is set, and new
data entering the FIFO does not move into PFHR1 until PFHR2 empties. If two or more bytes remain in the
pipeline when this bit is set, a host interrupt is not generated, however, a DMA request is generated if
enabled.
One Character: In the receive direction, this bit set indicates that the FIFO is empty and stale, and one
character remains in PFHR2. This condition occurs if an odd number of bytes is transferred by the parallel
interface. Since DMA cycles only move even numbers of bytes (words) and odd transfers leave one byte
remaining, host software must remove this character outside of DMA transfer cycles.
Data Error: If this bit is set, it indicates that one or more of the bits in the DER are set.
