SMSC DS – LPC47N237
Programmed I/O - Transfers from the Host to the FIFO
In the forward direction an interrupt occurs when serviceIntr is 0 and there are writeIntrThreshold or more
bytes free in the FIFO. At this time if the FIFO is empty it can be filled with a single burst before the empty
bit needs to be re-read. Otherwise it may be filled with writeIntrThreshold bytes.
writeIntrThreshold =
An interrupt is generated when serviceIntr is 0 and the number of bytes in the FIFO is less than or equal to
<threshold>. (If the threshold = 12, then the interrupt is set whenever there are 12 or less bytes of data in
the FIFO.) The host must respond to the request by writing data to the FIFO. If at this time the FIFO is
empty, it can be completely filled in a single burst, otherwise a minimum of (16-<threshold>) bytes may be
written to the FIFO in a single burst. This process is repeated until the last byte is transferred into the
FIFO.
