ISR Transmit Data Register Empty (TXDE)—Bit 1
The Transmit Data Register Empty (TXDE) bit indicates that the Transmit byte 
registers (TXH, TXM, and TXL) are empty and can be written by the host processor. 
TXDE is set when the transmit byte registers are transferred to the HORX register. 
TXDE is cleared when the Transmit byte Low (TXL) register is written by the host 
processor. TXL is normally the last byte of the transmit byte registers to be written by 
the host processor. TXDE can be set by the host processor using the initialize feature. 
TXDE can be used to assert the external HOREQ pin if the TREQ bit is set. Regardless 
of whether the TXDE interrupt is enabled, TXDE provides valid status so that polling 
techniques can be used by the host processor. 
Note:
Hardware reset, software reset, individual reset, and Stop mode set TXDE.
4.4.5.6.3
ISR Transmitter Ready (TRDY)—Bit 2
The Transmitter Ready (TRDY) status bit indicates that both the TXH-TXM-TXL and 
the HORX registers are empty.
TRDY = TXDE 
 HRDF
When TRDY is set, the data that the host processor writes to TXH, TXM, and TXL will 
be immediately transferred to the DSP CPU side of the HI. This has many 
applications. For example, if the host processor issues a host command that causes 
the DSP CPU to read the HORX, the host processor can be guaranteed that the data it 
just transferred to the HI is what is being received by the DSP CPU.
Note:
Hardware reset, software reset, individual reset, and Stop mode set TRDY.
4.4.5.6.4
ISR HI Flag 2 (HF2)—Bit 3 (read only)
The HI Flag 2 (HF2) bit indicates the state of host flag 2 in the HCR. HF2 in the ISR 
can only be changed by the DSP changing HF2 in the HCR (see 
Note:
HF2 is cleared by hardware reset and software reset.
4.4.5.6.5
ISR HI Flag 3 (HF3)—Bit 4 (read only)
The HI Flag 3 (HF3) bit indicates the state of host flag 3 in the HCR. HF3 in the ISR 
can only be changed by the DSP changing HF3 in the HCR (see 
Note:
HF3 is cleared by hardware reset and software reset.
4.4.5.6.6
ISR Reserved—Bit 5
This bit is reserved for future expansion and will read as 0 during host processor read 
operations.
