TL16C752C: No interrupt occur even if the CDA#, CDB# pin state changed?

Part Number: TL16C752C

Hello,

We have been adopt many TI's UART in our products.
We want to confirm about interrupt by Data Carrier Detect (DCD, CD) pin in these UART.

The PC16552D datasheet(lower left of page 11) has the following description regarding the behavior of the DCD pin.

- Note: Whenever the DCD bit of the MODEM Status Register changes state, an interrupt is generated if the MODEM Status Interrupt is enabled.

From this note, we assume that interrupt occurs every DCD signal change time ,when MODEM Status Interrupt is enabled.


And TL16C752C datasheet(RIA#, RIB# pin description on page 4) has the following description.

- A low-to-high transition on these input pins generates a modem status interrupt, if enabled.


Hoever, TL16C752C datasheet did not have a similar description for CDA#, CDB# pins.
For these reasons, an interrupt occurs when the state of the RIA#, RIB# pin changes.
But we assume that no interrupt occurs even if the CDA#, CDB# pin state changes.
We confirmed with our product that adopted TL16C752, but no interrupt occurred even if the CDA#, CDB# pin state changed.

We have some questions about TL16C752C.

Q1. No interrupt occur even if the CDA#, CDB# pin state changed?
    Could you confirm our understanding is correct?

Q2. If your answer of Q1 is "No", would you tell us how should we do?
    (Shoud we set some additional setting to TL16C752C?)

Q3. If your answer of Q1 is "Yes", do you know the device that can generate an interrupt by changing pin state of CDA#, CDB# by pin compatible with TL16C752C?


Thank you for your time and consideration.

  • Hello Maekawa-san,

    I believe that you are correct that an interrupt will not occur, but I need a little more time to be able to confirm 100%. I will get back to you later this week with more information - sorry this will need some time.

    Regards,

  • Hello Max-san,

    Thank you for your prompt reply.
    We have understood the matter described in your last message.
    We look forward to the follow-up your report.

    Thank you for your time and consideration.

  • Maekawa-san,

    I can confirm that /CDA and /CDB status changes do not result in modem status interrupts. An interrupt is only generated based on changes in CTA, DSR, RI, DCD. I am checking to see if any other replacement devices have this functionality.

  • Hello Max-san,

    Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

    We understand your confirmation that /CDA and /CDB status changes do not result in modem status interrupts.
    In the second sentence, does the interrupt trigger mean /RI,/DSR,/CTS? (without /CD?)
    We are looking forward to hearing from you again.

    Thank you for your time and consideration.

  • Maekawa-san,

    Sorry again for the delay on my side. I want to check one more thing related to the TL16C752C, since despite my earlier comment I believe there are certain configurations in which this interrupt can be generated. Can you please double check that both MCR[3] and IER[3] are set to 1? MCR[3] should indicate the change in state of the CD pin, and IER[3] should allow modem status changes to result in interrupt generation.

  • Hello Max-san,

    Thank you very much for your reply.

    We discussed with the customer about this issue.
    As a result, we decided to adopt another solution.
    We are sorry we haven't contacted you.
    We really appreciate your kind cooperation.

    Thank you for your time and consideration.
