Transmitter FIFO status register.
USED | Amount of enties in the transmitter FIFO. The value of this field ranges from 0 to 16 |
SR_VALID | Indicates whether the TX shift registers holds a valid data frame (‘1’) or not (‘0’). The shift register can be considered the top of the TX FIFO (the data frame is not included in the USED field of the TX FIFO). The shift register is a working register and holds the data frame that is currently transmitted (when the protocol state machine is transmitting a data frame) or the data frame that is tranmitted next (when the protocol state machine is not transmitting a data frame). |
RD_PTR | FIFO read pointer: FIFO location from which a data frame is read by the hardware. |
WR_PTR | FIFO write pointer: FIFO location at which a new data frame is written. |
