2.8.5 Transitions to RXMode

The ATA8510/15 firmware supports switching to RXMode(buffered) and RXMode(transparent) from:

  • IDLEMode(RC) and IDLEMode(XTO)
  • RXMode (direct switch, not via IDLEMode)
  • TXMode (direct switch, not via IDLEMode)

The mode switching is completely controlled by the firmware. The SFIFO and DFIFO are cleared during all direct switch operations.

A transition to PollingMode is only available from IDLEMode(RC) or IDLEMode(XTO).
