I. INTRODUCTION  
The DS-2000 is a dual channel asynchronous serial  
communication adapter which utilizes balanced  
differential drivers and receivers to provide RS-422-A  
communications. It is capable of reliable communications  
over long distances (4000 feet) within noisy industrial  
environment. Data is communicated through two D-9  
connectors which provide shielding from environmental  
noise. Optional high speed transient suppressers may  
also be installed on the DS-2000 to further reduce the  
effects of environmental signal transients and surges.  
The serial interface is accomplished through a pair  
of 16550 Asynchronous Communication Elements (ACEs). The  
16550 is compatible with the 8250 and 16450 ACEs used in  
the IBM PC/XT/AT models. The 16550 also has an  
additional FIFO mode that reduces CPU overhead at higher  
data rates.  
The DS-2000 supports sixteen base addresses for each  
ACE through the Programmable Option Select (POS)  
including the eight addresses designated SERIAL 1 through  
SERIAL 8. The addresses are independent for each  
channel. CPU interrupt level selections are also handled  
through the POS. Each channel may select a separate  
interrupt or share an interrupt level with other devices.  
II. BOARD DESCRIPTION  
A component diagram of the DS-2000 showing the  
locations of the 16550 ACEs, configuration jumpers, and  
D-9 connectors is shown in figure 1. The first  
communication channel is controlled by the 16550 labeled  
U9, jumper J2, and is accessed through the connector  
labeled CN1. The second channel uses the 16550 labeled  
U10, jumper J3, and is accessed through the connector  
labeled CN2. The clock rate divider for both channels is  
controlled by jumper J1.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
III. 16550 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
The 16550 is an upgrade of the standard 16450  
Asynchronous Communications Element (ACE). Designed to  
be compatible with the 16450, the 16550 enters the  
character mode on reset and in this mode will appear as a  
16450 to user software. An additional mode, FIFO mode,  
can be selected to reduce CPU overhead at high data  
rates. The FIFO mode increases performance by providing  
two internal 16-byte FIFOs (one transmit and one receive)  
to buffer data and reduce the number of interrupts issued  
to the CPU.  
Other features of the 16550 include:  
Programmable baud rate, character length, parity,  
and number of stop bits  
Automatic addition and removal of start, stop, and  
parity bits  
Independent and prioritized transmit, receive and  
status interrupts  
Transmitter clock output to drive receiver logic  
External receiver clock input  
The following pages provide a brief summary of the  
internal registers available within the 16550 ACE. The  
registers are addressed as shown in figure 2 below.

LOOP - Loopback Enable:  
When set (logic 1), the transmitter shift  
register is connected to the receiver shift  
register and the MODEM control inputs are  
connected to the MODEM control outputs. All  
characters transmitted are immediately received  
to verify transmit and receive data paths.  
Transmit and receive interrupts still operate  
normally but MODEM control interrupts are now  
controlled by the MODEM control register.  
Bits OUT2, OUT1, RTS, and DTR perform identical  
functions on their respective outputs. When these  
bits are set (logic 1) in the register, the associated  
output is forced to a logic 0. When cleared (logic  
0), the output is forced to logic 1.  
OUT2 - Output 2:  
Controls the OUT2 output as described above.  
Used for interrupt enable. See section VII.  
OUT1 - Output 1:  
Controls the OUT1 output as described above.  
Unused on DS-2000.  
RTS - Request To Send:  
Controls the RTS output as described above.  
DTR - Data Terminal Ready:  
Controls the DTR output as described above.  
Used for half-duplex control. See section IX.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
Bits BI, FE, PE, and OE are the sources of receiver  
line status interrupts. The bits are reset by reading  
the line status register. In FIFO mode, these bits  
are associated with a specific character in the FIFO  
and the exception is revealed only when that character  
reaches the top of the FIFO.  
BI  
- Break Interrupt:  
Indicates the receive data input has been in the  
spacing state (logic 0) for longer than one full  
word transmission time.  
FIFO mode:  
Only one zero character is loaded into the FIFO  
and transfers are disabled until SIN goes to the  
mark state (logic 1) and a valid start bit is  
received.  
FE  
- Framing Error:  
Indicates the received character had an invalid  
stop bit. The stop bit following the last data  
or parity bit was a 0 bit (spacing level).  
PE  
OE  
- Parity Error:  
Indicates that the received data does not have  
the correct parity.  
- Overrun Error:  
Indicates the receive buffer was not read before  
the next character was received and the character  
is destroyed.  
FIFO mode:  
Indicates the FIFO is full and another character  
has been shifted in. The character in the shift  
register is destroyed but is not transferred to  
the FIFO.  
DR  
- Data ready:  
Indicates data is present in the receive buffer  
or FIFO. DR is reset by reading the receive  
buffer register or receiver FIFO.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
H . SCRATCHPAD REGISTER  
This register is not used by the 16550. It may be  
used by the programmer for data storage.  
IV. FIFO INTERRUPT MODE OPERATION  
1. The receive data interrupt is issued when the FIFO  
reaches the trigger level. The interrupt is  
cleared as soon as the FIFO falls below the trigger  
level.  
2. The interrupt identification register's receive data  
available indicator is set and cleared along with  
the receive data interrupt above.  
3. The data ready indicator is set as soon as a  
character is transferred into the receiver FIFO and  
is cleared when the FIFO is empty.  
V. BAUD RATE SELECTION  
The 16550 UART determines the baud rate of the  
serial output from a combination of the clock input  
frequency and the value written to the divisor latches.  
Standard PC, PC/XT, PC/AT, and PS/2 serial interfaces use  
an input clock of 1.8432 MHz. To increase versatility,  
the DS-2000 uses an 18.432 MHz clock and a frequency  
divider circuit to produce the standard clock frequency.  
Jumper block J1 is used to set the frequency of the  
16550. It may be connected to divide the clock input by  
1, 2, 5, or 10. For compatibility, J1 should be  
configured to divide by 10 as shown in figure 14(d).

ADDRESSING  
VI. ADDRESSING  
Each channel of the DS-2000 uses 8 consecutive I/O  
address locations. The base addresses are independent  
but must begin on an even 8-byte boundary (xxx0H - xxx7H  
or xxx8H - xxxFH). The numbers xxx are controlled by the  
Programmable Option Select (POS) and address decoders to  
provide complete 16-bit addressing for each channel.  
Sixteen choices of base address are provided for each  
channel and include the eight addresses defined as SERIAL  
1 through SERIAL 8. The remaining eight addresses are a  
constant 8000H offset from these values. A complete  
table of available addresses is given in figure 17. The  
16550 utilizes its eight assigned addresses as shown in  
figure 2.  
VII. INTERRUPTS  
The DS-2000 is capable of supporting four interrupt  
levels, IRQ 3,4,7 and 9. Each channel may select a  
separate interrupt or one may be shared by both channels.  
If interrupt sharing is used, the interrupt pending (IP)  
bit in the interrupt identification register should be  
used to test for the source of the interrupt.  
CAUTION:  
To maintain compatibility with earlier personal  
computer systems, the user defined output, OUT 2, is  
used as an external interrupt enable and must be set  
active for interrupts to be acknowledged. OUT 2 is  
accessed through the 16550's MODEM control register.  
VIII. PROGRAMMABLE OPTION SELECT  
The IBM PS/2 family of computers using the  
MicroChannel bus structure utilize on board registers  
referred to as the Programmable Option Select (POS)  
registers to hold the adapter's configuration  
information. The first two POS registers hold a unique  
adapter identification number that has been issued to Qua  
Tech for the DS-2000. This number is defined in hardware  
and can not be changed. These registers are read only.

ABLE OPTION SELECT  
The remaining POS registers are used for address and  
interrupt selections. These registers are programmed by  
the user through the IBM installation utility supplied  
with the PS/2. These registers are read/write but should  
not be written to by user software. The bit definitions  
of these registers are given in figures 16(a) and 16(b).

OUT  
PUT CONFIGURATIONS  
IX. OUTPUT CONFIGURATIONS  
Two sets of jumpers are implemented on the DS-2000  
to control the auxiliary driver/receiver set. Jumpers J2  
and J3 perform identical functions on channels 1 and 2  
respectively.  
The function of J2 and J3 is to control the source  
of the data exchanged on the auxiliary communication  
lines. The output sources are request to send (RTS),  
transmit clock (XCLK), and the auxiliary input (AUX IN).  
The inputs are clear to send (CTS) and receive clock  
(RCLK).  
Transmission of RTS, when combined with reception of  
clear to send (CTS), allows for handshaking between the  
16550 and a peripheral device. RTS is transmitted by  
connecting pins 5 and 6 of the jumper block (figure 21).  
CTS is received by connecting pins 1 and 2 (figure 21).  
The RTS/CTS handshake can be defeated by looping the RTS  
output back to the CTS input. This is accomplished by  
connecting pins 1 and 5 of the jumper block (figures 22  
and 23).  
RCLK is the input to the 16550 which controls the  
shift rate for the receiver portion of the chip.  
Generally this input is provided by connecting it to the  
XCLK output. This is performed by connecting pins 3 and  
7 of the jumper block (figures 21 and 23). RCLK may be  
received from an external source by connecting pins 2 and  
3 (figure 22).  
Transmission of XCLK can be used to help synchronize  
communications with a peripheral or to provide a shift  
clock for a receiver. Transmission of XCLK is  
accomplished by connecting pins 6 and 7 of the jumper  
block (figure 22).  
AUX IN is the auxiliary input from a peripheral  
device. Connecting AUX IN to AUX OUT provides a loopback  
mode of operation. That is, whatever is transmitted by  
the peripheral will be fed back to the peripheral. AUX  
IN/ AUX OUT loopback is implemented by connecting pins 2  
and 6 of the jumper (figure 23).

OUTPUT CONFIGURATIONS  
The other function of J2 and J3 is to configure the  
communication channel in half or full duplex mode. Half  
duplex operation is achieved by connecting pins 4 and 8  
of the jumper block (figure 23). This allows the  
transmitter to be enabled and disabled using the data  
terminal ready (DTR) output in the modem control  
register. Full duplex operation is restored by removing  
the jumper on pins 4 and 8 (figures 21 and 22).  
Jumper J4 selects the level of DTR that enables the  
transmitter outputs. When the enable control line is  
connected to +DTR (factory configuration), writing a  
logic 1 to the DTR bit location in the MODEM control  
register enables transmission. Writing a logic 0  
disables transmission. In this configuration, trans-  
mission is disabled on power-up.

+-----------+  
4 | o o--o | 6  
J4 1 | o o--o | 3  
+-----------+  
-DTR --+ | +-- +DTR  
Enable2  
To maintain compatibility with some other Quatech  
products, the enable control line can be connected to -  
DTR. In this configuration, writing a logic 0 to the DTR  
bit location in the MODEM control register enables  
transmission, logic 1 disables transmission. In this  
configuration, transmission is enabled on power-up.  
Enable1  
-DTR --+ | +-- +DTR  
+-----------+  
4 | o--o o | 6  
J4 1 | o--o o | 3  
+-----------+  
-DTR --+ | +-- +DTR  
Enable2  
CAUTION:  
When operating in half duplex mode, the  
transmitter must be disabled before receiving  
any information. Failure to do so will result  
in two output drivers being connected together  
which may cause damage to the DS-2000, the  
computer and the peripheral equipment.
