HOST RXD Serial data receive input. Driven by the serial data transmit output of the decoder.
HOST TXD Serial data transmit output. Drives the serial data receive input of the decoder.
HOST CTS
Decoder transmit request (input). See The Host on page A-6.
HOST RTS
Decoder transmit request granted (output). See The Host on page A-6.
Figure A-1 shows the decoder and host signal relationships.

The Decoder
This section describes the requirements that are specific to the decoder.
Transmitting Data
When the decoder needs to send information, it must first check the CTS line to see if the host
is trying to transmit.
Once the bus is available, the decoder may transmit. The decoder is responsible for:
•
any programmed intercharacter delays
•
retrying if the host communicates during decoder transmission.
