The V³Link Receiver recovers 32-bits of Sensor status from the attached TSER953 serializer. Interrupts may be generated based on changes in the Sensor Status values received from the forward channel. The Sensor Status consists of 4 bytes of data, which may be read from the SENSOR_STS_x registers for each Receive port. Interrupts may be generated based on a change in any of the bits in the first byte (SENSOR_STS_0). Each bit can be individually masked for Rising and/or Falling interrupts.

Two registers control the interrupt masks for the SENSOR_STS bits: SEN_INT_RISE_CTL and SEN_INT_FALL_CTL.

Two registers provide interrupt status: SEN_INT_RISE_STS, SEN_INT_FALL_STS.

If a mask bit is set, a change in the associated SENSOR_STS_0 bit will be detected and latched in the SEN_INT_RISE_STS or SEN_INT_FALL_STS registers. If the mask bit is not set, the associated interrupt status bit will always be 0. If any of the SEN_INT_RISE_STS or SEN_INT_FALL_STS bits is set, the IS_FC_SEN_STS bit will be set in the PORT_ISR_HI register.
