PRODUCTION DATA
A watchdog timer is associated with each receiver. Its interrupt is enabled by MR0[7]. The purpose of this timer is to alert the control processor that characters are in the Rx FIFO which have not been read. This situation may occur at the end of a transmission when the last few characters received are not sufficient to cause an interrupt.
This counter times out after 64 bit times. It is reset each time a character is transferred from the receiver shift register to the Rx FIFO or a read of the Rx FIFO is executed.
