UART chip select (active low). This function selects channel A or B in accordance  
with the logical state of the CHSEL pin. This allows data to be transferred between  
the user CPU and the 2552.  
CHSEL  
Channel Select - UART channel A or B is selected by the logical state of this pin when  
the CS# pin is a logic 0. A logic 0 on the CHSEL selects the UART channel B while a  
logic 1 selects UART channel A. Normally, CHSEL could just be an address line from  
the user CPU such as A3. Bit-0 of the Alternate Function Register (AFR) can tempo-  
rarily override CHSEL function, allowing the user to write to both channel register  
simultaneously with one write cycle when CS# is low. It is especially useful during the  
initialization routine.

REV. 4.2  
2.97V TO 5.5V DUAL UART WITH 16-BYTE FIFO  
1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION  
The 2552 provides serial asynchronous receive data synchronization, parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel  
data conversions for both the transmitter and receiver sections. These functions are necessary for converting  
the serial data stream into parallel data that is required with digital data systems. Synchronization for the serial  
data stream is accomplished by adding start and stops bits to the transmit data to form a data character  
(character orientated protocol). Data integrity is ensured by attaching a parity bit to the data character. The  
parity bit is checked by the receiver for any transmission bit errors. The electronic circuitry to provide all these  
functions is fairly complex especially when manufactured on a single integrated silicon chip. The 2552  
represents such an integration with greatly enhanced features. The 2552 is fabricated with an advanced  
CMOS process.  
The 2552 is an upward solution that provides a dual UART capability with 16 bytes of transmit and receive  
FIFO memory, instead of none in the 16C2450. The 2552 is designed to work with high speed modems and  
shared network environments, that require fast data processing time. Increased performance is realized in the  
2552 by the transmit and receive FIFO’s. This allows the external processor to handle more networking tasks  
within a given time. For example, the ST16C2450 without a receive FIFO, will require unloading of the RHR in  
93 microseconds (This example uses a character length of 11 bits, including start/stop bits at 115.2 Kbps). This  
means the external CPU will have to service the receive FIFO less than every 100 microseconds. However  
with the 16 byte FIFO in the 2552, the data buffer will not require unloading/loading for 1.53 ms. This increases  
the service interval giving the external CPU additional time for other applications and reducing the overall  
UART interrupt servicing time. In addition, the 4 selectable receive FIFO trigger interrupt levels is uniquely  
provided for maximum data throughput performance especially when operating in a multi-channel  
environment. The FIFO memory greatly reduces the bandwidth requirement of the external controlling CPU,  
increases performance, and reduces power consumption.  
The 2552 is capable of operation up to 4 Mbps with a 64 MHz clock. With a crystal or external clock input of  
14.7456 MHz the user can select data rates up to 921.6 Kbps.  
The rich feature set of the 2552 is available through internal registers. Selectable receive FIFO trigger levels,  
selectable TX and RX baud rates, and modem interface controls are all standard features. Following a power  
on reset or an external reset, the 2552 is software compatible with the 16L2752 and 16C2852.

2.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS  
2.1  
CPU Interface  
The CPU interface is 8 data bits wide with 3 address lines and control signals to execute data bus read and  
write transactions. The 2552 data interface supports the Intel compatible types of CPUs and it is compatible to  
the industry standard 16C550 UART. No clock (oscillator nor external clock) is required to operate a data bus  
transaction. Each bus cycle is asynchronous using CS#, IOR# and IOW# signals. Both UART channels share  
the same data bus for host operations. The data bus interconnections are shown in Figure 3.

2.2  
Device Reset  
The RESET input resets the internal registers and the serial interface outputs in both channels to their default  
state (see the Table 11). An active high pulse of longer than 40 ns duration will be required to activate the reset  
function in the device.  
2.3  
Channel A and B Selection  
The UART provides the user with the capability to bi-directionally transfer information between an external CPU  
and an external serial communication device. A logic 0 on chip select pin (CS#) allows the user to select the  
UART and then using the channel select (CHSEL) pin, the user can select channel A or B to configure, send  
transmit data and/or unload receive data to/from the UART. Individual channel select functions are shown in

2.4  
Channel A and B Internal Registers  
Each UART channel in the 2552 has a set of enhanced registers for controlling, monitoring and data loading  
and unloading. The configuration register set is compatible to those already available in the standard single  
16C550 and dual ST16C2550. These registers function as data holding registers (THR/RHR), interrupt status  
and control registers (ISR/IER), a FIFO control register (FCR), receive line status and control registers (LSR/  
LCR), modem status and control registers (MSR/MCR), programmable data rate (clock) divisor registers (DLL/  
DLM), and a user accessible scratchpad register (SPR).  
Beyond the general 16C2550 features and capabilities, the 2552 offers the Alternate Function Register which  
allows simultaneous writes to both channels. All the register functions are discussed in full detail later in  
“Section 3.0, UART INTERNAL REGISTERS” on page 15.  
2.5  
Simultaneous Write to Channel A and B  
During a write mode cycle, the setting of Alternate Function Register (AFR) bit-0 to a logic 1 will override the  
CHSEL selection and allows a simultaneous write to both UART channel sections. This functional capability  
allow the registers in both UART channels to be modified concurrently, saving individual channel initialization  
time. Caution should be exercised, however, when using this capability. Any in-process serial data transfer  
may be disrupted by changing an active channel’s mode.  
2.6  
DMA Mode  
The device does not support direct memory access. The DMA Mode (a legacy term) in this document doesn’t  
mean “direct memory access” but refers to data block transfer operation. The DMA mode affects the state of  
the RXRDY# A/B (MF# A/B becomes RXRDY# A/B output when AFR[2:1] = ‘10’) and TXRDY# A/B output pins.  
The transmit and receive FIFO trigger levels provide additional flexibility to the user for block mode operation.  
The LSR bits 5-6 provide an indication when the transmitter is empty or has an empty location(s) for more data.  
The user can optionally operate the transmit and receive FIFO in the DMA mode (FCR bit-3=1). When the  
transmit and receive FIFO are enabled and the DMA mode is disabled (FCR bit-3 = 0), the 2552 is placed in  
single-character mode for data transmit or receive operation. When DMA mode is enabled (FCR bit-3 = 1), the  
user takes advantage of block mode operation by loading or unloading the FIFO in a block sequence  
determined by the programmed trigger level. The following table show their behavior. Also see Figures 16  
through 21.

Crystal Oscillator or Ext. Clock Input  
The 2552 includes an on-chip oscillator (XTAL1 and XTAL2) to produce a clock for both UART sections in the  
device. The CPU data bus does not require this clock for bus operation. The crystal oscillator provides a  
system clock to the Baud Rate Generators (BRG) section found in each of the UART. XTAL1 is the input to the  
oscillator or external clock buffer input with XTAL2 pin being the output. See “Programmable Baud Rate  
Generator” on page 10.

Programmable Baud Rate Generator  
A single baud rate generator is provided for the transmitter and receiver, allowing independent TX/RX channel  
control. The programmable Baud Rate Generator is capable of operating with a crystal frequency of up to 24  
MHz. However, with an external clock input on XTAL1 pin and a 2K ohms pull-up resistor on XTAL2 pin (as  
shown in Figure 5) it can extend its operation up to 64 MHz (4Mbps serial data rate) at room temperature and

The 2552 divides the basic external clock by 16. The basic 16X clock provides table rates to support standard  
and custom applications using the same system design. The Baud Rate Generator divides this 16X clock by  
any divisor from 1 to 216 -1. The rate table is configured via the DLL and DLM internal register functions.  
Customized Baud Rates can be achieved by selecting the proper divisor values for the MSB and LSB sections  
of baud rate generator.

2.10 Transmitter  
The transmitter section comprises of an 8-bit Transmit Shift Register (TSR) and 16 bytes of FIFO which  
includes a byte-wide Transmit Holding Register (THR). TSR shifts out every data bit with the 16X internal clock.  
A bit time is 16 clock periods. The transmitter sends the start-bit followed by the number of data bits, inserts  
the proper parity-bit if enabled, and adds the stop-bit(s). The status of the FIFO and TSR are reported in the  
Line Status Register (LSR bit-5 and bit-6).  
2.10.1 Transmit Holding Register (THR) - Write Only  
The transmit holding register is an 8-bit register providing a data interface to the host processor. The host  
writes transmit data byte to the THR to be converted into a serial data stream including start-bit, data bits,  
parity-bit and stop-bit(s). The least-significant-bit (Bit-0) becomes first data bit to go out. The THR is the input  
register to the transmit FIFO of 16 bytes when FIFO operation is enabled by FCR bit-0. Every time a write  
operation is made to the THR, the FIFO data pointer is automatically bumped to the next sequential data  
location.  
2.10.2 Transmitter Operation in non-FIFO Mode  
The host loads transmit data to THR one character at a time. The THR empty flag (LSR bit-5) is set when the  
data byte is transferred to TSR. THR flag can generate a transmit empty interrupt (ISR bit-1) when it is enabled  
by IER bit-1. The TSR flag (LSR bit-6) is set when TSR becomes completely empty.

2.10.3 Transmitter Operation in FIFO Mode  
The host may fill the transmit FIFO with up to 16 bytes of transmit data. The THR empty flag (LSR bit-5) is set  
whenever the FIFO is empty. The THR empty flag can generate a transmit empty interrupt (ISR bit-1) when the  
transmit empty interrupt is enabled by IER bit-1. The TSR flag (LSR bit-6) is set when the FIFO and the TSR  
become empty.

2.11 Receiver  
The receiver section contains an 8-bit Receive Shift Register (RSR) and 16 bytes of FIFO which includes a  
byte-wide Receive Holding Register (RHR). The RSR uses the 16X for timing. It verifies and validates every bit  
on the incoming character in the middle of each data bit. On the falling edge of a start or false start bit, an  
internal receiver counter starts counting at the 16X. After 8 clocks the start bit period should be at the center of  
the start bit. At this time the start bit is sampled and if it is still a logic 0 it is validated. Evaluating the start bit in  
this manner prevents the receiver from assembling a false character. The rest of the data bits and stop bits are  
sampled and validated in this same manner to prevent false framing. If there were any error(s), they are

REV. 4.2  
2.97V TO 5.5V DUAL UART WITH 16-BYTE FIFO  
reported in the LSR register bits 2-4. Upon unloading the receive data byte from RHR, the receive FIFO pointer  
is bumped and the error tags are immediately updated to reflect the status of the data byte in RHR register.  
RHR can generate a receive data ready interrupt upon receiving a character or delay until it reaches the FIFO  
trigger level. Furthermore, data delivery to the host is guaranteed by a receive data ready time-out interrupt  
when data is not received for 4 word lengths as defined by LCR[1:0] plus 12 bits time. This is equivalent to 3.7-  
4.6 character times. The RHR interrupt is enabled by IER bit-0.  
2.11.1 Receive Holding Register (RHR) - Read-Only  
The Receive Holding Register is an 8-bit register that holds a receive data byte from the Receive Shift Register.  
It provides the receive data interface to the host processor. The RHR register is part of the receive FIFO of 16  
bytes by 11-bits wide, the 3 extra bits are for the 3 error tags to be reported in LSR register. When the FIFO is  
enabled by FCR bit-0, the RHR contains the first data character received by the FIFO. After the RHR is read,  
the next character byte is loaded into the RHR and the errors associated with the current data byte are  
immediately updated in the LSR bits 2-4.

Internal Loopback  
The 2552 UART provides an internal loopback capability for system diagnostic purposes. The internal  
loopback mode is enabled by setting MCR register bit-4 to logic 1. All regular UART functions operate normally.  
Figure 11 shows how the modem port signals are re-configured. Transmit data from the transmit shift register  
output is internally routed to the receive shift register input allowing the system to receive the same data that it  
was sending. The TX pin is held at logic 1 or mark condition while RTS# and DTR# are de-asserted, and  
CTS#, DSR# CD# and RI# inputs are ignored. Caution: the RX input must be held to a logic 1 during loopback  
test else upon exiting the loopback test the UART may detect and report a false “break” signal.

Baud Rate Generator Divisors (DLL and DLM) - Read/Write  
The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) is a 16-bit counter that generates the data rate for the transmitter. The rate is  
programmed through registers DLL and DLM which are only accessible when LCR bit-7 is set to ‘1’. See  
“Programmable Baud Rate Generator” on page 10. for more details.  
4.4  
Interrupt Enable Register (IER) - Read/Write  
The Interrupt Enable Register (IER) masks the interrupts from receive data ready, transmit empty, line status  
and modem status registers. These interrupts are reported in the Interrupt Status Register (ISR).  
4.4.1  
IER versus Receive FIFO Interrupt Mode Operation  
When the receive FIFO (FCR BIT-0 = 1) and receive interrupts (IER BIT-0 = 1) are enabled, the RHR interrupts  
(see ISR bits 2 and 3) status will reflect the following:  
A.  
B.  
C.  
The receive data available interrupts are issued to the host when the FIFO has reached the programmed  
trigger level. It will be cleared when the FIFO drops below the programmed trigger level.  
FIFO level will be reflected in the ISR register when the FIFO trigger level is reached. Both the ISR register  
status bit and the interrupt will be cleared when the FIFO drops below the trigger level.  
The receive data ready bit (LSR BIT-0) is set as soon as a character is transferred from the shift register to  
the receive FIFO. It is reset when the FIFO is empty.  
4.4.2  
IER versus Receive/Transmit FIFO Polled Mode Operation  
When FCR BIT-0 equals a logic 1 for FIFO enable; resetting IER bits 0-3 enables the ST16C2552 in the FIFO  
polled mode of operation. Since the receiver and transmitter have separate bits in the LSR either or both can  
be used in the polled mode by selecting respective transmit or receive control bit(s).  
A.  
B.  
C.  
D.  
E.  
F.  
LSR BIT-0 indicates there is data in RHR or RX FIFO.  
LSR BIT-1 indicates an overrun error has occurred and that data in the FIFO may not be valid.  
LSR BIT 2-4 provides the type of receive data errors encountered for the data byte in RHR, if any.  
LSR BIT-5 indicates transmit FIFO is empty.  
LSR BIT-6 indicates when both the transmit FIFO and TSR are empty.  
LSR BIT-7 indicates a data error in at least one character in the RX FIFO.  
IER[0]: RHR Interrupt Enable  
The receive data ready interrupt will be issued when RHR has a data character in the non-FIFO mode or when  
the receive FIFO has reached the programmed trigger level in the FIFO mode.  
Logic 0 = Disable the receive data ready interrupt (default).  
Logic 1 = Enable the receiver data ready interrupt.  
IER[1]: THR Interrupt Enable  
This bit enables the Transmit Ready interrupt which is issued whenever the TX FIFO becomes empty.  
Logic 0 = Disable Transmit Ready interrupt (default).  
Logic 1 = Enable Transmit Ready interrupt.  
IER[2]: Receive Line Status Interrupt Enable  
If any of the LSR register bits 1, 2, 3 or 4 is a logic 1, it will generate an interrupt to inform the host controller  
about the error status of the current data byte in FIFO. LSR bit-1 generates an interrupt immediately when the  
character has been received. LSR bits 2-4 generate an interrupt when the character with errors is read out of  
the FIFO.

Interrupt Status Register (ISR) - Read-Only  
The UART provides multiple levels of prioritized interrupts to minimize external software interaction. The  
Interrupt Status Register (ISR) provides the user with four interrupt status bits. Performing a read cycle on the  
ISR will give the user the current highest pending interrupt level to be serviced, others are queued up to be  
serviced next. No other interrupts are acknowledged until the pending interrupt is serviced. The Interrupt  
Source Table, Table 8, shows the data values (bits 0-3) for the interrupt priority levels and the interrupt sources  
associated with each of these interrupt levels.

Interrupt Generation:  
LSR is by any of the LSR bits 1, 2, 3 and 4.  
RXRDY is by RX trigger level.  
RXRDY Time-out is by a 4-char plus 12 bits delay timer.  
TXRDY is by TX trigger level or TX FIFO empty.  
MSR is by any of the MSR bits 0, 1, 2 and 3.  
4.5.2  
Interrupt Clearing:  
LSR interrupt is cleared by a read to the LSR register.  
RXRDY interrupt is cleared by reading data until FIFO falls below the trigger level.  
RXRDY Time-out interrupt is cleared by reading RHR.  
TXRDY interrupt is cleared by a read to the ISR register or writing to THR.  
MSR interrupt is cleared by a read to the MSR register.

LCR[6]: Transmit Break Enable  
When enabled, the Break control bit causes a break condition to be transmitted (the TX output is forced to a  
“space’, logic 0, state). This condition remains, until disabled by setting LCR bit-6 to a logic 0.  
Logic 0 = No TX break condition (default).  
Logic 1 = Forces the transmitter output (TX) to a “space”, logic 0, for alerting the remote receiver of a line  
break condition.  
LCR[7]: Baud Rate Divisors Enable  
Baud rate generator divisor (DLL/DLM) enable.  
Logic 0 = Data registers are selected. (default)  
Logic 1 = Divisor latch registers are selected.  
4.8  
Modem Control Register (MCR) or General Purpose Outputs Control - Read/Write  
The MCR register is used for controlling the serial/modem interface signals or general purpose inputs/outputs.  
MCR[0]: DTR# Output  
The DTR# pin is a modem control output. If the modem interface is not used, this output may be used as a  
general purpose output.  
Logic 0 = Force DTR# output to a logic 1 (default).  
Logic 1 = Force DTR# output to a logic 0.  
MCR[1]: RTS# Output  
The RTS# pin is a modem control output. If the modem interface is not used, this output may be used as a  
general purpose output.  
Logic 0 = Force RTS# output to a logic 1 (default).  
Logic 1 = Force RTS# output to a logic 0.  
MCR[2]: OP1# Output  
OP1# is not available as an output pin on the 2552. But it is available for use during Internal Loopback Mode.  
In the Loopback Mode, this bit is used to write the state of the modem RI# interface signal.

2.97V TO 5.5V DUAL UART WITH 16-BYTE FIFO  
MCR[3]: OP2# Output  
OP2# is available as an output pin on the 2552 when AFR[2:1] = ‘00’. In the Loopback Mode, MCR[3] is used  
to write the state of the modem CD# interface signal. Also see pin descriptions for MF# pins.  
Logic 0 = Forces OP2# output to a logic 1 (default).  
Logic 1 = Forces OP2# output to a logic 0.  
MCR[4]: Internal Loopback Enable  
Logic 0 = Disable loopback mode (default).  
Logic 1 = Enable local loopback mode, see loopback section and Figure 11.  
MCR[7:5]: Reserved  
4.9  
Line Status Register (LSR) - Read Only  
This register provides the status of data transfers between the UART and the host.  
LSR[0]: Receive Data Ready Indicator  
Logic 0 = No data in receive holding register or FIFO (default).  
Logic 1 = Data has been received and is saved in the receive holding register or FIFO.  
LSR[1]: Receiver Overrun Flag  
Logic 0 = No overrun error (default).  
Logic 1 = Overrun error. A data overrun error condition occurred in the receive shift register. This happens  
when additional data arrives while the FIFO is full. In this case the previous data in the receive shift register is  
overwritten. Note that under this condition the data byte in the receive shift register is not transferred into the  
FIFO, therefore the data in the FIFO is not corrupted by the error.  
LSR[2]: Receive Data Parity Error Tag  
Logic 0 = No parity error (default).  
Logic 1 = Parity error. The receive character in RHR does not have correct parity information and is suspect.  
This error is associated with the character available for reading in RHR.  
LSR[3]: Receive Data Framing Error Tag  
Logic 0 = No framing error (default).  
Logic 1 = Framing error. The receive character did not have a valid stop bit(s). This error is associated with  
the character available for reading in RHR.  
LSR[4]: Receive Break Tag  
Logic 0 = No break condition (default).  
Logic 1 = The receiver received a break signal (RX was a logic 0 for at least one character frame time). In the  
FIFO mode, only one break character is loaded into the FIFO. The break indication remains until the RX input  
returns to the idle condition, “mark” or logic 1.  
LSR[5]: Transmit Holding Register Empty Flag  
This bit is the Transmit Holding Register Empty indicator. This bit indicates that the transmitter is ready to  
accept a new character for transmission. In addition, this bit causes the UART to issue an interrupt to the host  
when the THR interrupt enable is set. The THR bit is set to a logic 1 when the last data byte is transferred from  
the transmit holding register to the transmit shift register. The bit is reset to logic 0 concurrently with the data  
loading to the transmit holding register by the host. In the FIFO mode this bit is set when the transmit FIFO is  
empty, it is cleared when the transmit FIFO contains at least 1 byte.  
LSR[6]: THR and TSR Empty Flag  
This bit is set to a logic 1 whenever the transmitter goes idle. It is set to logic 0 whenever either the THR or TSR  
contains a data character. In the FIFO mode this bit is set to a logic 1 whenever the transmit FIFO and transmit  
shift register are both empty.

REV. 4.2  
2.97V TO 5.5V DUAL UART WITH 16-BYTE FIFO  
LSR[7]: Receive FIFO Data Error Flag  
Logic 0 = No FIFO error (default).  
Logic 1 = A global indicator for the sum of all error bits in the RX FIFO. At least one parity error, framing error  
or break indication is in the FIFO data. This bit clears when there is no more error(s) in the FIFO.  
4.10 Modem Status Register (MSR) - Read Only  
This register provides the current state of the modem interface signals, or other peripheral device that the  
UART is connected. Lower four bits of this register are used to indicate the changed information. These bits are  
set to a logic 1 whenever a signal from the modem changes state. These bits may be used as general purpose  
inputs/outputs when they are not used with modem signals.  
MSR[0]: Delta CTS# Input Flag  
Logic 0 = No change on CTS# input (default).  
Logic 1 = The CTS# input has changed state since the last time it was monitored. A modem status interrupt  
will be generated if MSR interrupt is enabled (IER bit-3).  
MSR[1]: Delta DSR# Input Flag  
Logic 0 = No change on DSR# input (default).  
Logic 1 = The DSR# input has changed state since the last time it was monitored. A modem status interrupt  
will be generated if MSR interrupt is enabled (IER bit-3).  
MSR[2]: Delta RI# Input Flag  
Logic 0 = No change on RI# input (default).  
Logic 1 = The RI# input has changed from a logic 0 to a logic 1, ending of the ringing signal. A modem status  
interrupt will be generated if MSR interrupt is enabled (IER bit-3).  
MSR[3]: Delta CD# Input Flag  
Logic 0 = No change on CD# input (default).  
Logic 1 = Indicates that the CD# input has changed state since the last time it was monitored. A modem  
status interrupt will be generated if MSR interrupt is enabled (IER bit-3).  
MSR[4]: CTS Input Status  
Normally MSR bit-4 bit is the compliment of the CTS# input. However in the loopback mode, this bit is  
equivalent to the RTS# bit in the MCR register. The CTS# input may be used as a general purpose input when  
the modem interface is not used.  
MSR[5]: DSR Input Status  
Normally this bit is the compliment of the DSR# input. In the loopback mode, this bit is equivalent to the DTR#  
bit in the MCR register. The DSR# input may be used as a general purpose input when the modem interface is  
not used.  
MSR[6]: RI Input Status  
Normally this bit is the compliment of the RI# input. In the loopback mode this bit is equivalent to bit-2 in the  
MCR register. The RI# input may be used as a general purpose input when the modem interface is not used.  
MSR[7]: CD Input Status  
Normally this bit is the compliment of the CD# input. In the loopback mode this bit is equivalent to bit-3 in the  
MCR register. The CD# input may be used as a general purpose input when the modem interface is not used.  
4.11 Scratch Pad Register (SPR) - Read/Write  
This is a 8-bit general purpose register for the user to store temporary data. The content of this register is  
preserved during sleep mode but becomes 0xFF (default) after a reset or a power off-on cycle.

4.12 Baud Rate Generator Registers (DLL and DLM) - Read/Write  
The concatenation of the contents of DLM and DLL gives the 16-bit divisor value which is used to calculate the  
baud rate:  
Baud Rate = (Clock Frequency / 16) / Divisor  
See MCR bit-7 and the baud rate table also.  
4.13 Alternate Function Register (AFR) - Read/Write  
This register is used to select specific modes of MF# operation and to allow both UART register sets to be  
written concurrently.  
AFR[0]: Concurrent Write Mode  
When this bit is set, the CPU can write concurrently to the same register in both UARTs. This function is  
intended to reduce the dual UART initialization time. It can be used by the CPU when both channels are  
initialized to the same state. The external CPU can set or clear this bit by accessing either register set. When  
this bit is set, the channel select pin still selects the channel to be accessed during read operations. The user  
should ensure that LCR Bit-7 of both channels are in the same state before executing a concurrent write to the  
registers at address 0, 1, or 2.  
Logic 0 = No concurrent write (default).  
Logic 1 = Register set A and B are written concurrently with a single external CPU I/O write operation.  
AFR[2:1]: MF# Output Select  
These bits select a signal function for output on the MF# A/B pins. These signal function are described as:  
OP2#, BAUDOUT#, or RXRDY#. Only one signal function can be selected at a time.

Revision  
4.0  
Description  
February 2002  
Changed to standard style format. Text descriptions were clarified and  
simplified (eg. DMA operation, FIFO mode vs. Non-FIFO mode opera-  
tions etc). Clarified timing diagrams. Renamed Rclk (Receive Clock) to  
Bclk (Baud Clock) and timing symbols. Added TAH, TCS and OSC.  
March 2002  
4.1  
4.2  
Minor clarifications in text descriptions. Changed A0-A7 in Figures 14  
and 15 to A0-A2.  
September 2003  
Changed to single column format. Corrected A2 and A0 pin numbers in  
Pin Descriptions. Added Device Status to Ordering Information. Devices  
with top markings of "A2 YYWW" and newer have 5V tolerant inputs. Devices  
with top markings of "CC YYWW" and older do not have 5V tolerant inputs.
