Interrupt Control Register 2
Bit Name Description
7–3 X Don’t Care Bit.
2 INTEN Global Interrupt Enable Bit—If this bit is set, the
PC-DIO-96/PnP can interrupt the host computer. If
this bit is cleared, the PnP version of this board cannot
interrupt the host computer. With the non-PnP
version, the interrupt line is put into high-impedance
mode, so other devices can use the interrupt channel
selected by jumper W1.
1 CTRIRQ Counter Interrupt Enable Bit—If this bit is set, the
82C53 counter outputs can interrupt the host
computer. If this bit is cleared, the counter outputs
have no effect.
0 CTR1 Counter 1 Enable Bit—If this bit is set, the output
from counter 1 of the 82C53 is connected to the
interrupt request circuitry. In this mode, counter 0 of
the 82C53 acts as a frequency scaler for counter 1,
which generates the interrupt. If CTR1 is cleared, the
output from counter 0 of the 82C53 is connected to the
interrupt request circuitry. In this mode, counter 0
generates the interrupt. For more information, see the
section later in this chapter on programming interrupts
using the 82C53.
