GENERALDESCRIPTION  
FUNCTIONALDESCRIPTIONS  
Internal Registers  
The ST16C550 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  
convertingtheserialdatastreamintoparalleldatathat  
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 integ-  
rity is insured 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 ST16C550 represents such an integration  
with greatly enhanced features. The ST16C550 is  
fabricated with an advanced CMOS process.  
The ST16C550 provides 12 internal registers for  
monitoring and control. These registers are shown in  
Table 3 below. These registers function as data hold-  
ing registers (THR/RHR), interrupt status and control  
registers (IER/ISR), a FIFO control register (FCR),  
line status and control registers, (LCR/LSR), modem  
status and control registers (MCR/MSR), program-  
mable data rate (clock) control registers (DLL/DLM),  
and a user assessable scratchpad register (SPR).  
The ST16C550 is an upward solution that provides 16  
bytes of transmit and receive FIFO memory, instead  
of 1 byte provided in the 16C450. The ST16C550 is  
designedtoworkwithhighspeedmodemsandshared  
network environments, that require fast data process-  
ing time. Increased performance is realized in the  
ST16C550 by the larger transmit and receive FIFO’s.  
This allows the external processor to handle more  
networking tasks within a given time. The 4 selectable  
levels of FIFO trigger provided for maximum data  
throughput performance especially when operating in  
a multi-channel environment. The combination of the  
above greatly reduces the bandwidth requirement of  
the external controlling CPU, increases performance,  
and reduces power consumption.  
The ST16C550 is capable of operation to 1.5Mbps  
with a 24 MHz crystal or external clock input.  
With a crystal of 14.7464 MHz and through a software  
option, the user can select data rates up to 460.8Kbps  
or 921.6Kbps.

FIFO Operation  
The 16 byte transmit and receive data FIFO’s are  
enabled by the FIFO Control Register (FCR) bit-0.  
With 16C550 devices, the user can set the receive  
trigger level but not the transmit trigger level. The  
receiver FIFO section includes a time-out function to  
ensure data is delivered to the external CPU. An  
interrupt is generated whenever the Receive Holding  
Register (RHR) has not been read following the load-  
ing of a character or the receive trigger level has not  
been reached.  
In this case the ST16C550 FIFO may hold more char-  
actersthantheprogrammedtriggerlevel.Followingthe  
removalofadatabyte,theusershouldrecheckLSRbit-  
0foradditionalcharacters.AReceiveTimeOutwillnot  
occurifthereceiveFIFOisempty.Thetimeoutcounter  
is reset at the center of each stop bit received or each  
time the receive holding register (RHR) is read (see  
Figure10,ReceiveTime-outInterrupt).Theactualtime  
out value is T (Time out length in bits) = 4 X P  
(Programmedwordlength)+12.Toconvertthetimeout  
valuetoacharactervalue, theuserhastoconsiderthe  
complete word length, including data information  
length, start bit, parity bit, and the size of stop bit, i.e.,  
1X, 1.5X, or 2X bit times.  
Time-out Interrupts  
When two interrupt conditions have the same priority,  
it is important to service these interrupts correctly.  
Receive Data Ready and Receive Time Out have the  
same interrupt priority (when enabled by IER bit-0).  
The receiver issues an interrupt after the number of  
charactershavereachedtheprogrammedtriggerlevel.  
Example -A: If the user programs a word length of 7,  
with no parity and one stop bit, the time out will be:  
T=4X7(programmedwordlength)+12=40bittimes.  
The character time will be equal to 40 / 9 = 4.4  
characters,orasshowninthefullyworkedoutexample:  
Rev.4.30

ST16C550  
T = [(programmed word length = 7) + (stop bit = 1) +  
(start bit = 1) = 9]. 40 (bit times divided by 9) = 4.4  
characters.  
For internal clock oscillator operation, an industry  
standardmicroprocessorcrystal(parallelresonant/22  
pF load) is connected externally between the XTAL1  
and XTAL2 pins, with an external 1 Mresistor across  
it. Alternatively, an external clock can be connected to  
theXTAL1pintoclocktheinternalbaudrategenerator  
for standard or custom rates. See figure 3 for crystal  
oscillator connection.  
Example -B: If the user programs the word length = 7,  
with parity and one stop bit, the time out will be:  
T=4X7(programmedwordlength)+12=40bittimes.  
Character time = 40 / 10 [ (programmed word length  
= 7) + (parity = 1) + (stop bit = 1) + (start bit = 1) = 4  
characters.  
The generator divides the input 16X clock by any  
divisor from 1 to 216 -1. The ST16C550 divides the  
basic crystal or external clock by 16. The frequency of  
the -BAUDOUT output pin is exactly 16X (16 times) of  
theselectedbaudrate(-BAUDOUT=16xBaudRate).  
Customized Baud Rates can be achieved by selecting  
the proper divisor values for the MSB and LSB sec-  
tions of baud rate generator.  
Programmable Baud Rate Generator  
The ST16C550 supports high speed modem tech-  
nologies that have increased input data rates by  
employing data compression schemes. For example  
a 33.6Kbps modem that employs data compression  
mayrequirea115.2Kbpsinputdatarate. A128.0Kbps  
ISDN modem that supports data compression may  
need an input data rate of 460.8Kbps. The ST16C550  
can support a standard data rate of 921.6Kbps.  
Programming the Baud Rate Generator Registers  
DLM (MSB) and DLL (LSB) provides a user capability  
for selecting the desired final baud rate. The example  
in Table 3 below shows selectable baud rates when  
using a 1.8432 MHz crystal.  
The programmable Baud Rate Generator is capable  
of accepting an input clock up to 24 MHz, as required  
forsupportinga1.5Mbpsdatarate.TheST16C550can  
be configured for internal or external clock operation.  
For custom baud rates, the divisor value can be calcu-  
lated using the following equation:  
Divisor (in decimal) = (XTAL1 clock frequency) / (serial data rate x 16)

Loop-back Mode  
The internal loop-back capability allows onboard diag-  
nostics. In the loop-back mode the normal modem  
interface pins are disconnected and reconfigured for  
loop-back internally. In this mode MSR bits 4-7 are  
also disconnected. However, MCR register bits 0-3  
can be used for controlling loop-back diagnostic test-  
ing. In the loop-back mode -OP1 and -OP2 in the MCR  
register (bits 0-1) control the modem -RI and -CD  
inputs respectively. MCR signals -DTR and -RTS (bits  
0-1) are used to control the modem -CTS and -DSR  
inputsrespectively.Thetransmitteroutput(TX)andthe  
receiverinput(RX)aredisconnectedfromtheirassoci-  
atedinterfacepins,andinsteadareconnectedtogether  
internally(SeeFigure4).The-CTS,-DSR,-CD,and-RI  
are disconnected from their normal modem control  
inputs pins, and instead are connected internally to -  
DTR, -RTS, -OP1 and -OP2. Loop-back test data is  
entered into the transmit holding register via the user  
data bus interface, D0-D7. The transmit UART serial-  
izes the data and passes the serial data to the receive  
UARTviatheinternalloop-backconnection.Thereceive  
UART converts the serial data back into parallel data  
that is then made available at the user data interface,

ST16C550  
Transmit and Receive Holding Register  
B) FIFO status will also be reflected in the user acces-  
sibleISRregisterwhentheFIFOtriggerlevelisreached.  
Both the ISR register status bit and the interrupt will be  
cleared when the FIFO drops below the trigger level.  
The serial transmitter section consists of an 8-bit  
Transmit Hold Register (THR) and Transmit Shift  
Register (TSR). The status of the THR is provided in  
the Line Status Register (LSR). Writing to the THR  
transfers the contents of the data bus (D7-D0) to the  
THR, providing that the THR or TSR is empty. The  
THR empty flag in the LSR register will be set to a logic  
1 when the transmitter is empty or when data is  
transferred to the TSR. Note that a write operation can  
be performed when the transmit holding register  
empty flag is set (logic 0 = at least one byte in FIFO /  
THR, logic 1= FIFO/THR empty).  
C) The 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.  
IER Vs Receive/Transmit FIFO Polled Mode Op-  
eration  
When FCR BIT-0 equals a logic 1; resetting IER bits  
0-3 enables the ST16C550 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).  
The serial receive section also contains an 8-bit  
Receive Holding Register, RHR. Receive data is  
removed from the ST16C550 and receive FIFO by  
reading the RHR register. The receive section pro-  
vides a mechanism to prevent false starts. On the  
falling edge of a start or false start bit, an internal  
receiver counter starts counting clocks at 16x clock  
rate. After 7 1/2 clocks the start bit time should be  
shiftedtothecenterofthestartbit. Atthistimethestart  
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. Receiver  
status codes will be posted in the LSR.  
A) LSR BIT-0 will be a logic 1 as long as there is one  
byte in the receive FIFO.  
B) LSR BIT 1-4 will indicate if an overrun error  
occurred.  
C) LSR BIT-5 will indicate when the transmit FIFO is  
empty.  
D) LSR BIT-6 will indicate when both the transmit  
FIFO and transmit shift register are empty.  
Interrupt Enable Register (IER)  
The Interrupt Enable Register (IER) masks the inter-  
rupts from receiver ready, transmitter empty, line  
status and modem status registers. These interrupts  
would normally be seen on the ST16C550 INT output  
pin.  
E) LSR BIT-7 will indicate any FIFO data errors.  
IER BIT-0:  
Logic 0 = Disable the receiver ready interrupt. (normal  
default condition)  
IER Vs Receive FIFO Interrupt Mode Operation  
Logic 1 = Enable the receiver ready interrupt.  
When the receive FIFO (FCR BIT-0 = a logic 1) and  
receive interrupts (IER BIT-0 = logic 1) are enabled,  
the receive interrupts and register status will reflect  
the following:  
IER BIT-1:  
Logic 0 = Disable the transmitter empty interrupt.  
(normal default condition)  
Logic 1 = Enable the transmitter empty interrupt.  
A) The receive data available interrupts are issued to  
the external CPU when the FIFO has reached the  
programmed trigger level. It will be cleared when the  
FIFO drops below the programmed trigger level.  
IER BIT-2:  
Logic 0 = Disable the receiver line status interrupt.  
(normal default condition)  
Logic 1 = Enable the receiver line status interrupt.

Logic 0 = Disable the modem status register interrupt.  
(normal default condition)  
Logic 1 = Enable the modem status register interrupt.  
IER BIT 4-7: Not used and set to “0”.  
Receive operation in mode “0”:  
FIFO Control Register (FCR)  
When the ST16C550 is in mode “0” (FCR bit-0 = logic  
0) or in the FIFO mode (FCR bit-0 = logic 1, FCR bit-  
3 = logic 0) and there is at least one character in the  
receive FIFO, the -RXRDY pin will be a logic 0. Once  
active the -RXRDY pin will go to a logic 1 when there  
are no more characters in the receiver.  
This register is used to enable the FIFO’s, clear the  
FIFO’s, set the transmit/receive FIFO trigger levels,  
and select the DMA mode. The DMA, and FIFO  
modes are defined as follows:  
DMA MODE:  
Transmit operation in mode “1”:  
See description and DMA tables on page 11.  
When the ST16C550 is in FIFO mode ( FCR bit-0 =  
logic 1, FCR bit-3 = logic 1 ), the -TXRDY pin will be  
a logic 1 when the transmit FIFO is completely full. It  
will be a logic 0 if one or more FIFO locations are  
empty.  
FCR BIT-0:  
Logic 0 = Disable the transmit and receive FIFO.  
(normal default condition)  
Logic 1 = Enable the transmit and receive FIFO. This  
bit must be a “1” when other FCR bits are written to or  
they will not be programmed.  
Receive operation in mode “1”:  
When the ST16C550 is in FIFO mode (FCR bit-0 =  
logic 1, FCR bit-3 = logic 1) and the trigger level has  
been reached, or a Receive Time Out has occurred,  
the -RXRDY pin will go to a logic 0. Once activated, it  
will go to a logic 1 after there are no more characters  
in the FIFO.  
FCR BIT-1:  
Logic 0 = No FIFO receive reset. (normal default  
condition)  
Logic 1 = Clears the contents of the receive FIFO and  
resets the FIFO counter logic (the receive shift regis-  
ter is not cleared or altered). This bit will return to a  
logic 0 after clearing the FIFO.  
FCR BIT 4-5: Not used.  
FCR BIT-2:  
FCRBIT6-7:Thesebitsareusedtosetthetriggerlevel

When enabled the Break control bit causes a break  
conditiontobetransmitted(theTXoutputisforcedtoa  
logic 0 state). This condition exists until disabled by  
setting LCR bit-6 to a logic 0.  
Logic 0 = No TX break condition. (normal default  
condition)  
Line Status Register (LSR)  
This register provides the status of data transfers  
between. the ST16C550 and the CPU.  
Logic 1 = Forces the transmitter output (TX) to a logic  
0 for alerting the remote receiver to a line break  
condition.  
LSR BIT-0:  
Logic 0 = No data in receive holding register or FIFO.  
(normal default condition)  
Logic 1 = Data has been received and is saved in the  
receive holding register or FIFO.  
LCR BIT-7:

Featuremodeenable.  
LSR BIT-1:  
Logic 0 = Divisor latch disabled. (normal default condi-  
tion)  
Logic 1 = Divisor latch and enhanced feature register  
enabled.  
Logic 0 = No overrun error. (normal default condition)  
Logic 1 = Overrun error. A data overrun error occurred  
in the receive shift register. This happens when addi-  
tional data arrives while the FIFO is full. In this case  
the previous data in the shift register is overwritten.  
Note that under this condition the data byte in the  
receive shift register is not transfer into the FIFO,  
therefore the data in the FIFO is not corrupted by the  
error.  
Modem Control Register (MCR)  
This register controls the interface with the modem or  
a peripheral device.  
MCR BIT-0:  
LSR BIT-2:  
Logic 0 = Force -DTR output to a logic 1. (normal  
default condition)  
Logic 1 = Force -DTR output to a logic 0.  
Logic 0 = No parity error (normal default condition)  
Logic 1 = Parity error. The receive character does not  
have correct parity information and is suspect. In the  
FIFO mode, this error is associated with the character  
at the top of the FIFO.  
MCR BIT-1:  
Logic 0 = Force -RTS output to a logic 1. (normal  
default condition)  
LSR BIT-3:  
Logic 1 = Force -RTS output to a logic 0.  
Logic 0 = No framing error (normal default condition).  
Logic 1 = Framing error. The receive character did not  
have a valid stop bit(s). In the FIFO mode this error is  
associated with the character at the top of the FIFO.  
MCR BIT-2:  
Logic 0 = Set -OP1 output to a logic 1. (normal default  
condition)  
Logic 1 = Set -OP1 output to a logic 0.  
LSR BIT-4:  
Logic 0 = No break condition (normal default condi-  
tion)  
MCR BIT-3:  
Logic 0 = Set -OP2 output to a logic 1. (normal default  
condition)  
Logic 1 = Set -OP2 output to a logic 0.  
Logic 1 = The receiver received a break signal (RX  
was a logic 0 for one character frame time). In the  
FIFO mode, only one break character is loaded into  
the FIFO.  
MCR BIT-4:  
Logic 0 = Disable loop-back mode. (normal default  
condition)  
Logic 1 = Enable local loop-back mode (diagnostics).  
LSR BIT-5:  
This bit is the Transmit Holding Register Empty indi-  
cator. This bit indicates that the UART is ready to  
accept a new character for transmission. In addition,  
Rev.4.30

ST16C550  
this bit causes the UART to issue an interrupt to CPU  
whentheTHRinterruptenableisset.TheTHRbitisset  
to a logic 1 when a character is transferred from the  
transmitholdingregisterintothetransmittershiftregis-  
ter. The bit is reset to logic 0 concurrently with the  
loading of the transmitter holding register by the CPU.  
In the FIFO mode this bit is set when the transmit FIFO  
is empty; it is cleared when at least 1 byte is written to  
the transmit FIFO.  
MSR BIT-2:  
Logic 0 = No -RI Change (normal default condition)  
Logic 1 = The -RI input to the ST16C550 has changed  
from a logic 0 to a logic 1. A modem Status Interrupt  
will be generated.  
MSR BIT-3:  
Logic 0 = No -CD Change (normal default condition)  
Logic 1 = Indicates that the -CD input to the has  
changed state since the last time it was read. A  
modem Status Interrupt will be generated.  
LSR BIT-6:  
This bit is the Transmit Empty indicator. This bit is set  
to a logic 1 whenever the transmit holding register and  
the transmit shift register are both empty. It is reset to  
logic 0 whenever either the THR or TSR contains a  
data character. In the FIFO mode this bit is set to one  
whenever the transmit FIFO and transmit shift register  
are both empty.  
MSR BIT-4:  
CTS (active high, logical 1). Normally this bit is the  
compliment of the -CTS input. In the loop-back mode,  
this bit is equivalent to the RTS bit in the MCR register.  
MSR BIT-5:  
LSR BIT-7:  
DSR (active high, logical 1). Normally this bit is the  
compliment of the -DSR input. In the loop-back mode,  
this bit is equivalent to the DTR bit in the MCR register.  
Logic 0 = No Error (normal default condition)  
Logic 1 = At least one parity error, framing error or  
break indication is in the current FIFO data. This bit is  
cleared when there are no remaining LSR errors in the  
RXFIFO.  
MSR BIT-6:  
RI (active high, logical 1). Normally this bit is the  
compliment of the -RI input. In the loop-back mode  
this bit is equivalent to the OP1 bit in the MCR register.  
Modem Status Register (MSR)  
This register provides the current state of the control  
interface signals from the modem, or other peripheral  
device that the ST16C550 is connected to. Four bits  
of this register are used to indicate the changed  
information. These bits are set to a logic 1 whenever  
a control input from the modem changes state. These  
bits are set to a logic 0 whenever the CPU reads this  
register.  
MSR BIT-7:  
CD (active high, logical 1). Normally this bit is the  
compliment of the -CD input. In the loop-back mode  
this bit is equivalent to the OP2 bit in the MCR register.  
Scratchpad Register (SPR)  
The ST16C550 provides a temporary data register to  
store 8 bits of user information.  
MSR BIT-0:  
Logic 0 = No -CTS Change (normal default condition)  
Logic 1 = The -CTS input to the ST16C550 has  
changed state since the last time it was read. A
