Self Test
Parity Option
In self test the transmitter outputs route to the receiver inputs
internallyandtheTXD0andTXD1outputsareinhibited.
When parity is enabled, both the receiver and transmitter are
affected. Odd parity is automatically generated in the 32nd
bitifthisoptionisselected.
This output goes high for 1 transmitter error and 3 receiver
errors. To determine which error is being flagged, read the
Status Register. Reading the Status Register also clears the
error flag. The transmitter will not function until the error is
cleared. ItcanalsobeclearedbyMRgoinghigh.

therefore they are susceptible to noise near ground. If the data
bus is passed by ribbon cable or the equivalent to the device
under test, it is possible to get significant glitches on the Master
Reset line. The problem will appear to be a pattern sensitive
failure. One cure is simply to adequately bypass Master Reset.
