9.4 Terms Specific to the CS8900A
Act-Once bit
A control bit that causes the CS8900A to take a certain action once when a logic "1" is written
to that bit. To cause the action again, the host must rewrite a "1".
Committed Receive Frame
A receive frame is said to be "committed" after the frame has been buffered by the CS8900A,
and the host has been notified, but the frame has not yet been transferred by the host.
Committed Transmit Frame
A transmit frame is said to be "committed" after the host has issued a Transmit Command, and
the CS8900A has reserved buffer space and notified the host that it is ready for transmit.
Event or Interrupt Event
The term "Event" is used in this document to refer to something that can trigger an interrupt.
Items that are considered "Events" are reported in the three Event registers (RxEvent, TxEvent,
or BufEvent) and in two counter-overflow bits (RxMISS and TxCOL).
StreamTransfer
A method used to significantly reduce the number of interrupts to the host processor during
block data transfers (Patent Pending).
PacketPage
A unified, highly-efficient method of controlling and getting status of a peripheral controller in
I/O or Memory space.
