MCR[5]
INT typ select.
Logic 0 = Enable active or 3-State interrupt output mode (normal
default condition).
Logic= 1 = Enable open source interrupt output mode. Provides
shared interrupts in the STD mode by producing a wire-OR output
driver capability for interrupts. This output appears at the IRQA/INT
pin. When using this option, an external pull-down resistor of
200 to 500
must be tied from the IRQA/INT pin to ground to
provide and acceptable logic 0 level
4
MCR[4]
Loop-back. Enable the local loop-back mode (diagnostics). In this
mode the transmitter output (TX) and the receiver input (RX), CTS,
DSR, DCD, and RI are disconnected from the SC16C650A I/O pins.
Internally the modem data and control pins are connected into a
loop-back data conguration (see
Figure 7). In this mode, the receiver
and transmitter interrupts remain fully operational. The Modem
Control Interrupts are also operational, but the interrupts’ sources are
switched to the lower four bits of the Modem Control. Interrupts
continue to be controlled by the IER register.
Logic 0 = Disable loop-back mode (normal default condition).
Logic 1 = Enable local loop-back mode (diagnostics).
3
MCR[3]
OUT2, INTx enable. Used to control the modem DCD signal in the
loop-back mode.
Logic 0 = Forces INT output to the 3-State mode. In the loop-back
mode, sets OUT2 (DCD) internally to a logic 1.
Logic 1 = Forces the INT output to the active mode. In the
loop-back mode, sets OUT2 (DCD) internally to a logic 0.
2
MCR[2]
OUT1. This bit is used in the Loop-back mode only. In the loop-back
mode, this bit is used to write the state of the modem RI interface
signal via OUT1.
1
MCR[1]
RTS
Logic0=Force RTS output to a logic 1 (normal default condition).
Logic1=Force RTS output to a logic 0.
0
MCR[0]
DTR
Logic0=Force DTR output to a logic 1 (normal default condition).
Logic1=Force DTR output to a logic 0.
