TCDCNT (0D4H) - Transmit Collision Detect Count Contains the number of collisions that have
occurred if probabilistic CSMA/CD is used. The user software must clear this register before
transmitting a new frame so that the GSC backoff hardware can accurately distinguish a new
frame from a retransmit attempt.
In deterministic backoff mode, TCDCNT is used to hold the maximum number of slots.
TFIFO (85H) - GSC Transmit FIFO - TFIFO is a 3 byte buffer with an associated pointer that is
automatically updated for each write by user software. Writing a byte to TFIFO loads the data into
the next available location in the transmit FIFO. Setting TEN clears the transmit FIFO so the
transmit FIFO should not be written to prior to setting TEN. If TEN is already set transmission
begins as soon as data is written to TFIFO.
TSTAT.0 (DMA) - DMA Select - if set, indicates that DMA channels are used to service the GSC
FIFO’s and GSC interrupts occur on TDN and RDN, and also enables UR to become set. If
cleared, indicates that the GSC is operating in its normal mode and interrupts occur on TFNF and
RFNE. For more information on DMA servicing please refer to the DMA section on DMA serial
demand mode (4.2.2.3). The user software is responsible for setting or clearing this flag.
TSTAT.1 (TEN) - Transmit Enable - When set causes TDN, UR, TCDT, and NOACK flag to be
reset and the TFIFO cleared. The transmitter will clear TEN after a successful transmission, a col-
lision during the data, CRC, or end flag. The user software is responsible for setting but the GSC
or user software is responsible for setting but the GSC or user software may clear this flag. If
cleared during a transmission the GSC transmit pin goes to a steady state high level. This is the
method used to send an abort character in SDLC. Also
DEN is forced to a high level. The end of
transmission occurs whenever the TFIFO is emptied.
TSTAT.2 (TFNF) - Transmit FIFO not full - When set, indicates that new data may be written into
the transmit FIFO. The transmit FIFO is a three byte buffer that loads the transmit shift register
with data. The status of this flag is controlled by the GSC.
TSTAT.3 (TDN) - Transmit Done -When set, indicates the successful completion of a frame trans-
mission. If HABEN is set, TDN will not be set until the end of the IFS following the transmitted
message, so that the acknowledge can be checked. If an acknowledge is expected and not
