Channel 3 FIFO Data
The FIFOs are setup in a way that the Rx FIFO and the Tx FIFO are located at
the same address. A write to this address will be directed toward the Tx FIFO,
and a read from this address will be directed toward the Rx FIFO.

Reset Channel 3 Tx FIFO (Pulsed)
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will cause the channel 3 Tx FIFOs to be reset. If the
channel 3 Tx Almost register is not a value of 0x00000000 then this will also
cause the channel 3 Tx FIFOs almost flags to be programmed. After setting this
bit to a ‘1’, it is the software’s responsibility to delay approximately 10ms before
accessing the local side of the board again. This bit is a self-timed pulse;
therefore, it is not necessary for software to return to clear this bit, it will clear
itself.

Reset Channel 3 Rx FIFO (Pulsed)
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will cause the channel 3 Rx FIFOs to be reset. If the
channel 3 Rx Almost register is not a value of 0x00000000 then this will also
cause the channel 3 Rx FIFOs almost flags to be programmed. After setting this

D2
Enable the Channel 3 Transmitters for the Upper portion of the cable (will drive the
cable)
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will turn on the transmitters for the Channel 3 upper
portion of the cable. The signals that are turned on are the Channel 3 TxD and
Channel 3 CTS on the upper portion of the cable. This will cause these signals
on the cable to go from a tri-state condition to a driven state.
D3
Enable the Channel 3 Transmitters for the Lower portion of the cable (will drive the
Cable)
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will turn on the transmitters for the Channel 3 lower
portion of the cable. The signals that are turned on are the Channel 3 TxD and
