PICS and interrupt status register (base address + 10)

This read only register returns the status of the AC3 card. The status bits are shown below:

Bits 7 to 4 - Not used.

Bit 3 - PICS READ

  • This bit is set to ‘1’ when PICSREAD is asserted (pulled low) by a device connected to the PICS interface. It is reset to ‘0’ when PICSREAD is unasserted.

Bit 2 - PICS PDAMP

  • This bit is set to ‘1’ when PICSDAMP is asserted (pulled low) by a device connected to the PICS interface. It is reset to ‘0’ when PICSDAMP is unasserted.

Bit 1 - PICS PPOFF

  • This bit is set to ‘1’ when PICS PPOFF is asserted (pulled low) by a device connected to the PICS interface. It is reset to ‘0’ when PICS PPOFF is unasserted.

Bit 0 - INTERRUPT

  • This bit is set to ‘1’ when the AC3 asserts an interrupt in mode 3, or when the AC3 is receiving an interrupt in modes 4 and 5. It is reset to ‘0’ when the selected interrupt is not asserted.
