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.

Figure 11. MODEM control register bit definitions.
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.

FFRX - FIFO Receiver Error:
Always logic 0 in character mode.
FIFO mode:
Indicates one or more parity errors, framing
errors, or break indications in the receiver
FIFO. FFRX is reset by reading the line status
register.
TEMT - Transmitter Empty:
Indicates the transmitter holding register (or
FIFO) and the transmitter shift register are
empty and are ready to receive new data. TEMT is
reset by writing a character to the transmitter
holding register.
THRE - Transmitter Holding Register Empty:
Indicates the transmitter holding register (or
FIFO) is empty and it is ready to accept new
data. THRE is reset by writing data to the
transmitter holding register (or FIFO).
iii
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).

The baud rate may now be calculated using the
equation

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.
iii
PROGRAMM
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).
iii
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.
