19.5.1.26 Auxiliary Control Register (ACREG)
The auxiliary control register (ACREG) is shown in Figure 19-59 and described in Table 19-57.
NOTE:
• If transmit FIFO is not empty and MDR1[5] = 1, IrDA starts a new transfer with data of
previous frame as soon as abort frame has been sent. Therefore, TX FIFO must be
reset before sending an abort frame.
• It is recommended to disable TX FIFO underrun capability by masking corresponding
underrun interrupt. When disabling underrun by setting ACREG[4] = 1, unknown data is
sent over TX line.

Bit Field Value Description
15-8 Reserved 0 Reserved.
7 PULSETYPE SIR pulse-width select:
0 3/16 of baud-rate pulse width
1 1.6 μs
6 SDMOD Primary output used to configure transceivers. Connected to the SD/MODE input pin of IrDA
transceivers.
0 SD pin is set to high.
1 SD pin is set to low.
5 DISIRRX Disable RX input.
0 Normal operation (RX input automatically disabled during transmit, but enabled outside of
transmit operation).
1 Disables RX input (permanent state; independent of transmit).
4 DISTXUNDERRUN Disable TX underrun.
0 Long stop bits cannot be transmitted. TX underrun is enabled.
1 Long stop bits can be transmitted.
3 SENDSIP MIR/FIR modes only. Send serial infrared interaction pulse (SIP).
If this bit is set during an MIR/FIR transmission, the SIP is sent at the end of it. This bit is
automatically cleared at the end of the SIP transmission.
0 No action.
1 Send SIP pulse.
2 SCTXEN Store and control TX start. When MDR1[5] = 1 and the LH writes 1 to this bit, the TX state-
machine starts frame transmission. This bit is self-clearing.
1 ABORTEN Frame abort. The LH can intentionally abort transmission of a frame by writing 1 to this bit.
Neither the end flag nor the CRC bits are appended to the frame.
0 EOTEN EOT (end-of-transmission) bit. The LH writes 1 to this bit just before it writes the last byte to the
TX FIFO in the set-EOT bit frame-closing method. This bit is automatically cleared when the LH
writes to the THR (TX FIFO).
