2.6.1 INITIALIZATION REGISTERS

BYTE 1, ERASURE MULTIPLIER:

[7:0] Multiplier value that must be programmed

as shown in Appendix A. The table shows a

value to be programmed corresponding to

the block length selected.

BYTE 2, ERROR THRESHOLD:

[4:0] The threshold for determining

uncorrectability of a data block, and the

number of check bytes allocated for

correction only purposes. When not using

erasures, set to the same value as BYTE 3,

CHECK BYTES. Minimum value of 0x02

sets the Threshold to 2 and 0x14 sets to the

maximum, 20.

[6:5] Reserved. Set to 0.

[7] Reserved. Must be set to 1.

BYTE 3, CHECK BYTES:

[4:0] Number of check bytes in RS code, R.

Minimum setting of 0x02 indicates two

check bytes for R = 2 and 0x14 indicates the

maximum of 20.

[6:5] Reserved. Set to 0.

[7] Reserved. Must be set to 1.

BYTE 4, MESSAGE BYTES:

[7:0] Number of message bytes in code, K.

Minimum setting of 0x01 indicates 1 byte,

setting to 0xFD indicates the maximum 253

message bytes.

BYTE 5, BLOCK LENGTH:

[7:0] Number of bytes in block, N. Setting to

0x03 indicates 3 bytes, setting to 0xFF

indicates 255 bytes.

BYTE 6, CONTROL BYTE:

[0] RESERVED Reserved. Set to 0.

[1] NOPAR Parity Symbol Control

0

Check bytes are output

following the message bytes.

1

Check bytes are not output

following the message bytes.

Correction will be done

regardless depending upon the

bit 4, RAW, setting.

[2] CRCTS Correction Control

0

Outputs correction vectors; to

obtain corrected data,

externally XOR the correction

vector with the corresponding

message or check byte.

1

Outputs corrected data

[3]

FOR Forward Order Control

0

Outputs the block in reverse

order

1

Outputs the block in forward

order

[4]

RAW Raw Data

0

Outputs corrections or corrected

data per the CRCTS bit

1

Outputs uncorrected, raw input

data or 0’s depending upon the

CRCTS bit setting (See table

below). NOPAR bit and

CHECK BYTE register

settings are ignored.

[5]

ERC Erasure Rejection Control. This

bit is only used by the device

when the Erasures exceed the

ERROR THRESHOLD or R

settings. This bit is ignored

when the Erasures are less than

or equal to ERROR

THRESHOLD or R.

0

If Erasures are greater than the

ERROR THRESHOLD or R

then erasures are discarded and

full correction is performed.

The block is flagged

uncorrectable and the output

CRTN will be high during the

last output byte of the block.

1

If Erasures are greater than

ERROR THRESHOLD or R

then erasures are discarded and

full correction is performed.

The output CRTN will be high

only when the block is

uncorrectable.

[7:6] Reserved, Set to 0.
