CSR46: Poll Time Counter

Description

POLL
Poll Time Counter. This counter
is incriminated by the PCnet-ISA
II controller microcode and is
used to trigger the descriptor
ring polling operation of the PC-
net-ISA II controller.
Read/write accessible only when
STOP or SPND bits are set.
CSR47: Polling Interval

Polling Interval. This register
contains the time that the PC-
net-ISA II controller will wait be-
tween
successive
operations. The POLLINT value
is expressed as the two
’
s com-
plement of the desired interval,
where each bit of POLLINT rep-
resents one-half of an XTAL1
period of time. POLLINT[3:0] are
ignored. (POLINT[16] is implied
to be a one, so POLLINT[15] is
significant, and does not repre-
sent the sign of the two
’
s
complement POLLINT value.)
The default value of this register
is 0000. This corresponds to a
polling interval of 32,768 XTAL1
periods. The POLINT value of
0000 is created during the micro-
code initialization routine, and
therefore might not be seen when
reading CSR47 after RESET.
If the user desires to program a
value for POLLINT other than
the default, then the correct
procedure is to first set INIT only
in CSR0. Then, when the initial-
ization sequence is complete,
the user must set STOP in
CSR0. Then the user may write
to CSR47 and then set STRT in
CSR0. In this way, the default
value of 0000 in CSR47 will be
overwritten with the desired user
value.
