When 16/68# pin is HIGH, the Intel bus interface is selected and this input becomes  
read strobe (active low). The falling edge instigates an internal read cycle and  
retrieves the data byte from an internal register pointed by the address lines [A2:A0],  
puts the data byte on the data bus to allow the host processor to read it on the rising  
edge.

1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION  
The XR16L2751 (2751) integrates the functions of 2 enhanced 16C550 Universal Asynchronous Receiver and  
Transmitter (UART). Its features set is compatible to the XR16L2750 and XR16C2850 devices but offers Intel  
or Motorola data bus interface and PowerSave to isolate the data bus interface during Sleep mode. Hence, the  
2751 adds 4 more inputs: 16/68#, PwrSave, HDCNTl# and CLKSEL pins. Each UART is independently  
controlled having its own set of device configuration registers. The configuration registers set is 16550 UART  
compatible for control, status and data transfer. Additionally, each UART channel has 64-bytes of transmit and  
receive FIFOs, automatic RTS/CTS hardware flow control with hysteresis control, automatic Xon/Xoff and  
special character software flow control, programmable transmit and receive FIFO trigger levels, FIFO level  
counters, infrared encoder and decoder (IrDA ver 1.0), programmable baud rate generator with a prescaler of  
divide by 1 or 4. The XR16L2751 can operate from 2.25V to 5.5V with 5 volt tolerant inputs. The 2751 is  
fabricated with an advanced CMOS process.  
Enhanced Features  
The 2751 DUART provides a solution that supports 64 bytes of transmit and receive FIFO memory, instead of  
16 bytes in the ST16C2550, or one byte in the ST16C2450. The 2751 is designed to work with low supply  
voltage and high performance data communication systems, that require fast data processing time. Increased  
performance is realized in the 2751 by the larger transmit and receive FIFOs, FIFO trigger level control, FIFO  
level counters and automatic flow control mechanism. This allows the external processor to handle more  
networking tasks within a given time. For example, the ST16C2550 with a 16 byte FIFO, unloads 16 bytes of  
receive data in 1.53 ms (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 at 1.53 ms intervals. However with  
the 64 byte FIFO in the 2751, the data buffer will not require unloading/loading for 6.1 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 programmable FIFO level trigger interrupt and automatic hardware/  
software flow control is uniquely provided for maximum data throughput performance especially when  
operating in a multi-channel system. The combination of the above greatly reduces the CPU’s bandwidth  
requirement, increases performance, and reduces power consumption.  
The 2751 supports a half-duplex output direction control signaling pin, RTS# A/B, to enable and disable the  
external RS-485 transceiver operation. It automatically switches the logic state of the output pin to the receive  
state after the last stop-bit of the last character has been shifted out of the transmitter. After receiving, the logic  
state of the output pin switches back to the transmit state when a data byte is loaded in the transmitter. The

REV. 1.2.2  
2.25V TO 5.5V DUART WITH 64-BYTE FIFO AND POWERSAVE  
auto RS-485 direction control pin is not activated after reset. To activate the direction control function, user has  
to set FCTR[3] = 1. This pin is normally high for receive state, low for transmit state.  
Data Bus Interface, Intel or Motorola Type  
The 2751 provides a single host interface for the 2 UARTs and supports Intel or Motorola microprocessor  
(CPU) data bus interface. The Intel bus compatible interface allows direct interconnect to Intel compatible type  
of CPUs using IOR#, IOW# and CSA# or CSB# inputs for data bus operation. The Motorola bus compatible  
interface instead uses the R/W#, CS# and A3 signals for data bus transactions. Few data bus interface signals  
change their functions depending on user’s selection, see pin description for details. The Intel and Motorola  
bus interface selection is made through the pin, 16/68#, pin 24.  
Data Rate  
Each channel in the 2751 is capable of operation up to 3.125 Mbps at 5V, 2 Mbps at 3.3V and 1 Mbps at 2.5V  
supply with 16X internal sampling clock rate, and 6.25 Mbps at 5V, 4 Mbps at 3.3V and 2 Mbps at 2.5V with 8X  
sampling clock rate. The device can operate with an external 24 MHz crystal on pins XTAL1 and XTAL2, or  
external clock source of up to 50 MHz on XTAL1 pin. With a typical crystal of 14.7456 MHz and through a  
software option, the user can set the prescaler bit for data rates of up to 1.84 Mbps.  
Internal Enhanced Register Sets  
Each UART has a set of enhanced registers providing control and monitoring functions for interrupt enable/  
disable and status, FIFO enable/disable, programmable TX and RX FIFO trigger level, TX and RX FIFO level  
counters, automatic hardware/software flow control enable/disable with selectable hysteresis, automatic RS-  
485 half-duplex direction control output enable/disable, programmable baud rates, infrared encoder/decoder  
enable/disable, modem interface controls and status, and sleep mode are all standard features. Following a  
power on reset or an external reset (and operating in 16 or Intel Mode), the registers defaults to the reset  
condition and its is compatible with previous generation of UARTs, 16C450, 16C550, 16C650A and 16C850.

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 2751 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 CSA/B#, IOR# and IOW# or CS#, R/W# and A3 inputs.  
Both UART channels share the same data bus for host operations. A typical data bus interconnection for Intel  
and Motorola mode is shown in Figure 3.

5-Volt Tolerant Inputs  
The 2751 can accept up to 5V inputs when operating at 3.3V or 2.5V. But note that if the 2751 is operating at  
2.5V, its V may not be high enough to meet the requirements of the V of a CPU or a serial transceiver that  
OH  
IH  
is operating at 5V. Caution: XTAL1 is not 5 volt tolerant.  
2.3  
Device Hardware Reset  
The RESET or RESET# input resets the internal registers and the serial interface outputs in both channels to  
their default state (see Table 17). An active pulse of longer than 40 ns duration will be required to activate the  
reset function in the device.  
2.4  
Device Identification and Revision  
The XR16L2751 provides a Device Identification code and a Device Revision code to distinguish the part from  
other devices and revisions. To read the identification code from the part, it is required to set the baud rate  
generator registers DLL and DLM both to 0x00. Now reading the content of the DLM will provide 0x0A for the  
XR16L2751 and reading the content of DLL will provide the revision of the part; for example, a reading of 0x01  
means revision A.  
2.5  
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. During Intel Bus Mode (16/68# pin connected to VCC), a  
logic 0 on chip select pins, CSA# or CSB#, allows the user to select UART channel A or B to configure, send  
transmit data and/or unload receive data to/from the UART. Selecting both UARTs can be useful during power  
up initialization to write to the same internal registers, but do not attempt to read from both UARTs  
simultaneously. Individual channel select functions are shown in Table 1.

Channel A and B Internal Registers  
Each UART channel in the 2751 has a set of enhanced registers for control, 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 an user accessible Scratchpad register (SPR).

Beyond the general 16C2550 features and capabilities, the 2751 offers enhanced feature registers (EFR, Xon/  
Xoff 1, Xon/Xoff 2, FCTR, TRG, EMSR, FC) that provide automatic RTS and CTS hardware flow control, Xon/  
Xoff software flow control, automatic RS-485 half-duplex direction output enable/disable, FIFO trigger level  
control and FIFO level counters. All the register functions are discussed in full detail later in “Section 3.0,  
UART INTERNAL REGISTERS” on page 22.  
2.7  
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 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 2751 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. In this mode, the 2751  
sets the TXRDY# pin when the transmit FIFO becomes full, and sets the RXRDY# pin when the receive FIFO  
becomes empty. The following table shows their behavior. Also see Figures 20 through 25.

Crystal Oscillator or External Clock Input  
The 2751 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. Please note that the input XTAL1 is not  
5V tolerant and so the maximum voltage at the pin should be VCC. For programming details, see  
“Programmable Baud Rate Generator.”

tolerance) connected externally between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins (see Figure 5). The programmable Baud  
Rate Generator is capable of operating with a crystal oscillator 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 50 MHz (6.25 Mbps serial data rate) at 5V with an 8X sampling rate.

Programmable Baud Rate Generator  
Each UART has its own Baud Rate Generator (BRG) with a prescaler. The prescaler is controlled by CLKSEL  
hardware pin or a software bit in the MCR register. The MCR register bit-7 sets the prescaler to divide the input  
crystal or external clock by 1 or 4 and can override the CLKSEL pin following reset. The clock output of the  
16  
prescaler goes to the BRG. The BRG further divides this clock by a programmable divisor between 1 and (2  
-
1) to obtain a 16X sampling rate clock of the serial data rate. The sampling rate clock is used by the transmitter  
for data bit shifting and receiver for data sampling. The BRG divisor defaults to the maximum baud rate (DLL =  
0x01 and DLM = 0x00) upon power up.

Programming the Baud Rate Generator Registers DLM and DLL provides the capability of selecting the

clock at 16X sampling rate clock rate. A 16X sampling clock is typically used. However, user can select the 8X  
sampling clock rate mode (EMSR bit-7=0) to double the operating data rate. When using a non-standard data  
rate crystal or external clock, the divisor value can be calculated for DLL/DLM with the following equation.  
divisor (decimal) = (XTAL1 clock frequency / prescaler) / (serial data rate x 16), with 16XMode [EMSR bit-7] = 1  
divisor (decimal) = (XTAL1 clock frequency / prescaler) / (serial data rate x 8), with 16XMode [EMSR bit-7] = 0

2.11 Transmitter  
The transmitter section comprises of an 8-bit Transmit Shift Register (TSR) and 64 bytes of FIFO which  
includes a byte-wide Transmit Holding Register (THR). TSR shifts out every data bit with the 16X/8X internal  
clock. A bit time is 16 (8) clock periods (see EMSR bit-7). 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).  
2.11.1 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 64 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.  
2.11.2 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.

2.11.3 Transmitter Operation in FIFO Mode  
The host may fill the transmit FIFO with up to 64 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  
amount of data in the FIFO falls below its programmed trigger level. The transmit empty interrupt is enabled by  
IER bit-1. The TSR flag (LSR bit-6) is set when TSR/FIFO becomes empty.

2.12 RECEIVER  
The receiver section contains an 8-bit Receive Shift Register (RSR) and 64 bytes of FIFO which includes a  
byte-wide Receive Holding Register (RHR). The RSR uses the 16X/8X clock (EMSR bit-7) 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/8X clock rate. After 8 clocks (or 4 if 8X) 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 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.  
2.12.1 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 64 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.

Auto RTS (Hardware) Flow Control  
Automatic RTS hardware flow control is used to prevent data overrun to the local receiver FIFO. The RTS#  
output is used to request remote unit to suspend/resume data transmission. The auto RTS flow control  
features is enabled to fit specific application requirement (see Figure 11):  
Enable auto RTS flow control using EFR bit-6.  
The auto RTS function must be started by asserting RTS# output pin (MCR bit-1 to logic 1 after it is enabled).  
If using the Auto RTS interrupt:  
Enable RTS interrupt through IER bit-6 (after setting EFR bit-4). The UART issues an interrupt when the  
RTS# pin makes a transition from low to high: ISR bit-5 will be set to logic 1.  
2.14  
Auto RTS Hysteresis  
The 2751 has a new feature that provides flow control trigger hysteresis while maintaining compatibility with  
the XR16C850, ST16C650A and ST16C550 family of UARTs. With the Auto RTS function enabled, an interrupt  
is generated when the receive FIFO reaches the programmed RX trigger level. The RTS# pin will not be forced  
HIGH (RTS off) until the receive FIFO reaches the upper limit of the hysteresis level. The RTS# pin will return  
LOW after the RX FIFO is unloaded to the lower limit of the hysteresis level. Under the above described  
conditions, the 2751 will continue to accept data until the receive FIFO gets full. The Auto RTS function is  
initiated when the RTS# output pin is asserted LOW (RTS On). Table 14 shows the complete details for the  
Auto RTS# Hysteresis levels. Please note that this table is for programmable trigger levels only (Table D). The  
hysteresis values for Tables A-C are the next higher and next lower trigger levels in the corresponding table.  
2.15  
Auto CTS Flow Control  
Automatic CTS flow control is used to prevent data overrun to the remote receiver FIFO. The CTS# input is  
monitored to suspend/restart the local transmitter. The auto CTS flow control feature is selected to fit specific  
application requirement (see Figure 11):  
Enable auto CTS flow control using EFR bit-7.  
If using the Auto CTS interrupt:  
Enable CTS interrupt through IER bit-7 (after setting EFR bit-4). The UART issues an interrupt when the  
CTS# pin is de-asserted (HIGH): ISR bit-5 will be set to 1, and UART will suspend transmission as soon as  
the stop bit of the character in process is shifted out. Transmission is resumed after the CTS# input is re-  
asserted (LOW), indicating more data may be sent.

The local UART (UARTA) starts data transfer by asserting RTSA# (1). RTSA# is normally connected to CTSB# (2) of  
remote UART (UARTB). CTSB# allows its transmitter to send data (3). TXB data arrives and fills UARTA receive FIFO  
(4). When RXA data fills up to its receive FIFO trigger level, UARTA activates its RXA data ready interrupt (5) and con-  
tinues to receive and put data into its FIFO. If interrupt service latency is long and data is not being unloaded, UARTA  
monitors its receive data fill level to match the upper threshold of RTS delay and de-assert RTSA# (6). CTSB# follows  
(7) and request UARTB transmitter to suspend data transfer. UARTB stops or finishes sending the data bits in its trans-  
mit shift register (8). When receive FIFO data in UARTA is unloaded to match the lower threshold of RTS delay (9),  
UARTA re-asserts RTSA# (10), CTSB# recognizes the change (11) and restarts its transmitter and data flow again until  
next receive FIFO trigger (12). This same event applies to the reverse direction when UARTA sends data to UARTB  
with RTSB# and CTSA# controlling the data flow.

Auto Xon/Xoff (Software) Flow Control  
When software flow control is enabled (See Table 16), the 2751 compares one or two sequential receive data  
characters with the programmed Xon or Xoff-1,2 character value(s). If receive character(s) (RX) match the  
programmed values, the 2751 will halt transmission (TX) as soon as the current character has completed  
transmission. When a match occurs, the Xoff (if enabled via IER bit-5) flag will be set and the interrupt output  
pin will be activated. Following a suspension due to a match of the Xoff character, the 2751 will monitor the  
receive data stream for a match to the Xon-1,2 character. If a match is found, the 2751 will resume operation  
and clear the flags (ISR bit-4).  
Reset initially sets the contents of the Xon/Xoff 8-bit flow control registers to a logic 0. Following reset the user  
can write any Xon/Xoff value desired for software flow control. Different conditions can be set to detect Xon/  
Xoff characters (See Table 16) and suspend/resume transmissions. When double 8-bit Xon/Xoff characters  
are selected, the 2751 compares two consecutive receive characters with two software flow control 8-bit  
values (Xon1, Xon2, Xoff1, Xoff2) and controls TX transmissions accordingly. Under the above described flow  
control mechanisms, flow control characters are not placed (stacked) in the user accessible RX data buffer or  
FIFO.  
In the event that the receive buffer is overfilling and flow control needs to be executed, the 2751 automatically  
sends an Xoff message (when enabled) via the serial TX output to the remote modem. The 2751 sends the  
Xoff-1,2 characters two-character-times (= time taken to send two characters at the programmed baud rate)  
after the receive FIFO crosses the programmed trigger level (for all trigger tables A-D). To clear this condition,  
the 2751 will transmit the programmed Xon-1,2 characters as soon as receive FIFO is less than one trigger  
level below the programmed trigger level (for Trigger Tables A, B, and C) or when receive FIFO is less than the  
trigger level minus the hysteresis value (for Trigger Table D). This hysteresis value is the same as the Auto  
RTS Hysteresis value in Table 14. Table 7 below explains this when Trigger Table-B (See Table 11) is  
selected.

setting.  
2.17  
Special Character Detect  
A special character detect feature is provided to detect an 8-bit character when bit-5 is set in the Enhanced  
Feature Register (EFR). When this character (Xoff2) is detected, it will be placed in the FIFO along with normal  
incoming RX data.  
The 2751 compares each incoming receive character with Xoff-2 data. If a match exists, the received data will  
be transferred to FIFO and ISR bit-4 will be set to indicate detection of special character. Although the Internal  
Register Table shows Xon, Xoff Registers with eight bits of character information, the actual number of bits is  
dependent on the programmed word length. Line Control Register (LCR) bits 0-1 defines the number of  
character bits, i.e., either 5 bits, 6 bits, 7 bits, or 8 bits. The word length selected by LCR bits 0-1 also  
determines the number of bits that will be used for the special character comparison. Bit-0 in the Xon, Xoff  
Registers corresponds with the LSB bit for the receive character.

Auto RS485 Half-duplex Control  
The auto RS485 half-duplex direction control changes the behavior of the transmitter when enabled by FCTR  
bit-3. By default, it de-asserts RTS# (HIGH) output following the last stop bit of the last character that has been  
transmitted. This helps in turning around the transceiver to receive the remote station’s response. When the  
host is ready to transmit next polling data packet again, it only has to load data bytes to the transmit FIFO. The  
transmitter automatically re-asserts RTS# (LOW) output prior to sending the data. The RS485 half-duplex  
direction control output can be inverted by enabling EMSR bit-3.  
2.19  
Infrared Mode  
The 2751 UART includes the infrared encoder and decoder compatible to the IrDA (Infrared Data Association)  
version 1.0. The IrDA 1.0 standard that stipulates the infrared encoder sends out a 3/16 of a bit wide HIGH-  
pulse for each “0” bit in the transmit data stream. This signal encoding reduces the on-time of the infrared LED,  
hence reduces the power consumption. See Figure 12 below.  
The infrared encoder and decoder are enabled by setting MCR register bit-6 to a ‘1’. When the infrared feature  
is enabled, the transmit data output, TX, idles at logic zero level. Likewise, the RX input assumes an idle level  
of logic zero from a reset and power up, see Figure 12.  
Typically, the wireless infrared decoder receives the input pulse from the infrared sensing diode on the RX pin.  
Each time it senses a light pulse, it returns a logic 1 to the data bit stream. However, this is not true with some  
infrared modules on the market which indicate a logic 0 by a light pulse. So the 2751 has a provision to invert  
the input polarity to accommodate this. In this case user can enable FCTR bit-2 to invert the input signal.

Sleep Mode with Wake-Up Indicator and PowerSave Feature  
The 2751 supports low voltage system designs, hence, a sleep mode with auto wake-up and PowerSave  
feature is included to reduce power consumption when the device is not actively used.  
2.20.1 Sleep Mode  
All of these conditions must be satisfied for the 2751 to enter sleep mode:  
no interrupts pending for both channels of the 2751 (ISR bit-0 = 1)  
sleep mode of both channels are enabled (IER bit-4 = 1)  
modem inputs are not toggling (MSR bits 0-3 = 0)  
RX input pins are idling HIGH  
The 2751 stops its crystal oscillator to conserve power in the sleep mode. User can check the XTAL2 pin for  
no clock output as an indication that the device has entered the sleep mode.  
The 2751 resumes normal operation by any of the following when PowerSave mode is disabled (pin 12 at  
ground):  
a receive data start bit transition (HIGH to LOW)  
a data byte is loaded to the transmitter, THR or FIFO  
a change of logic state on any of the modem or general purpose serial inputs: CTS#, DSR#, CD#, RI#  
If the sleep mode is enabled and the 2751 is awakened by one of the conditions described above, an interrupt  
is issued by the 2751 to signal to the CPU that it is awake. The lower nibble of the interrupt source register  
(ISR) will read a value of 0x1 for this interrupt and reading the ISR clears this interrupt. Since the same value  
(0x1) is also used to indicate no pending interrupt, users should exercise caution while using the sleep mode.  
The 2751 will return to the sleep mode automatically after all interrupting conditions have been serviced and  
cleared. If the 2751 is awakened by the modem inputs, a read to the MSR is required to reset the modem  
inputs. In any case, the sleep mode will not be entered while an interrupt is pending from channel A or B. The  
2751 will stay in the sleep mode of operation until it is disabled by setting IER bit-4 to a logic 0.  
A word of caution: owing to the starting up delay of the crystal oscillator after waking up from sleep mode, the  
first few receive characters may be lost. The number of characters lost during the restart also depends on your  
operating data rate. More characters are lost when operating at higher data rate. Also, it is important to keep  
RX A/B inputs idling HIGH or “marking” condition during sleep mode to avoid receiving a “break” condition  
upon the restart. This may occur when the external interface transceivers (RS-232, RS-485 or another type)  
are also put to sleep mode and cannot maintain the “marking” condition. To avoid this, the designer can use a  
47k-100k ohm pull-up resistor on the RXA and RXB pins.  
2.20.2 PowerSave Feature  
If the address lines, data bus lines, IOW#, IOR#, CSA#, CSB#, and modem input lines remain steady when the  
2751 is in sleep mode, the maximum current will be in the microamp range as specified in the DC Electrical  
Characteristics on page 40. If the input lines are floating or are toggling while the 2751 is in sleep mode, the  
current can be up to 100 times more. If not using the PowerSave feature, then an external buffer would be  
required to keep the address and data bus lines from toggling or floating to achieve the low current. But if the  
PowerSave feature is enabled (pin 12 connected to VCC), this will eliminate the need for an external buffer by  
internally isolating the address, data and control signals (see Figure 1 on page 1) from other bus activities that  
could cause wasteful power drain. The 2751 enters PowerSave mode when pin 12 is connected to VCC and  
the 2751 is in sleep mode (see Sleep Mode section above).  
Since PowerSave mode isolates the address, data and control signals, the device will wake-up by:  
a receive data start bit transition (HIGH to LOW)  
a change of logic state on any of the modem or general purpose serial inputs: CTS#, DSR#, CD#, RI#  
The 2751 will return to the PowerSave mode automatically after a read to the MSR (to reset the modem inputs)  
and all interrupting conditions have been serviced and cleared. The 2751 will stay in the PowerSave mode of  
operation until it is disabled by setting IER bit-4 to a logic 0 and/or the PowerSave pin is connected to GND.

Internal Loopback  
The 2751 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 13 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, RTS# and DTR# pins are held HIGH or mark condition while the CTS#, DSR# CD# and  
RI# inputs are ignored. Caution: the RX input pins 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. Also, Auto RTS/CTS hardware  
flow control is not supported during internal loopback.

4.3 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).  
4.3.1  
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. 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.

B. 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.  
C. 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.  
4.3.2  
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 XR16L2751 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. LSR BIT-0 indicates there is data in RHR or RX FIFO.  
B. LSR BIT-1 indicates an overrun error has occurred and that data in the FIFO may not be valid.  
C. LSR BIT 2-4 provides the type of receive data errors encountered for the data byte in RHR, if any.  
D. LSR BIT-5 indicates THR is empty.  
E. LSR BIT-6 indicates when both the transmit FIFO and TSR are empty.  
F. 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 THR becomes empty in the non-  
FIFO mode or when data in the FIFO falls below the programmed trigger level in the FIFO mode. If the THR is  
empty when this bit is enabled, an interrupt will be generated.  
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 (default). Instead, LSR bits 2-4 can be programmed to generate an interrupt immediately, by setting  
EMSR bit-6 to a logic 1.  
Logic 0 = Disable the receiver line status interrupt (default).  
Logic 1 = Enable the receiver line status interrupt.  
IER[3]: Modem Status Interrupt Enable  
Logic 0 = Disable the modem status register interrupt (default).  
Logic 1 = Enable the modem status register interrupt.  
IER[4]: Sleep Mode Enable (requires EFR bit-4 = 1)  
Logic 0 = Disable Sleep Mode (default).  
Logic 1 = Enable Sleep Mode. See Sleep Mode section for further details.  
IER[5]: Xoff Interrupt Enable (requires EFR bit-4=1)  
Logic 0 = Disable the software flow control, receive Xoff interrupt. (default)  
Logic 1 = Enable the software flow control, receive Xoff interrupt. See Software Flow Control section for

IER[6]: RTS# Output Interrupt Enable (requires EFR bit-4=1)  
Logic 0 = Disable the RTS# interrupt (default).  
Logic 1 = Enable the RTS# interrupt. The UART issues an interrupt when the RTS# pin makes a transition  
from low to high.  
IER[7]: CTS# Input Interrupt Enable (requires EFR bit-4=1)

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 six 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 10, shows the data values (bit 0-5) for the interrupt priority levels and the interrupt sources  
associated with each of these interrupt levels.  
4.4.1  
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 (or transmitter empty in auto RS-485 control).  
MSR is by any of the MSR bits 0, 1, 2 and 3.  
Receive Xoff/Special character is by detection of a Xoff or Special character.  
CTS# is when its transmitter toggles the input pin (from LOW to HIGH) during auto CTS flow control.  
RTS# is when its receiver toggles the output pin (from LOW to HIGH) during auto RTS flow control.  
Wake-up Indicator is when the UART comes out of sleep mode.  
4.4.2  
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.  
Xoff interrupt is cleared by a read to ISR or when Xon character(s) is received.  
Special character interrupt is cleared by a read to ISR or after the next character is received.  
RTS# and CTS# flow control interrupts are cleared by a read to the MSR register.  
Wake-up Indicator is cleared by a read to the ISR register.

ISR[0]: Interrupt Status  
Logic 0 = An interrupt is pending and the ISR contents may be used as a pointer to the appropriate interrupt  
service routine.  
Logic 1 = No interrupt pending (default condition) or the device has come out of sleep mode.  
ISR[3:1]: Interrupt Status  
These bits indicate the source for a pending interrupt at interrupt priority levels (See Interrupt Source  
Table 10).  
ISR[5:4]: Interrupt Status  
These bits are enabled when EFR bit-4 is set to a logic 1. ISR bit-4 indicates that the receiver detected a data  
match of the Xoff character(s). Note that once set to a logic 1, the ISR bit-4 will stay a logic 1 until a Xon  
character is received. ISR bit-5 indicates that CTS# or RTS# has changed state.  
ISR[7:6]: FIFO Enable Status  
These bits are set to a logic 0 when the FIFOs are disabled. They are set to a logic 1 when the FIFOs are  
enabled.  
4.5  
FIFO Control Register (FCR) - Write-Only  
This register is used to enable the FIFOs, clear the FIFOs, set the transmit/receive FIFO trigger levels, and  
select the DMA mode. The DMA, and FIFO modes are defined as follows:  
FCR[0]: TX and RX FIFO Enable  
Logic 0 = Disable the transmit and receive FIFO (default).  
Logic 1 = Enable the transmit and receive FIFOs. This bit must be set to logic 1 when other FCR bits are  
written or they will not be programmed.  
FCR[1]: RX FIFO Reset  
This bit is only active when FCR bit-0 is a ‘1’.  
Logic 0 = No receive FIFO reset (default)  
Logic 1 = Reset the receive FIFO pointers and FIFO level counter logic (the receive shift register is not  
cleared or altered). This bit will return to a logic 0 after resetting the FIFO.  
FCR[2]: TX FIFO Reset  
This bit is only active when FCR bit-0 is a ‘1’.  
Logic 0 = No transmit FIFO reset (default).

FCR[3]: DMA Mode Select  
Controls the behavior of the TXRDY# and RXRDY# pins. See DMA operation section for details.  
Logic 0 = Normal Operation (default).  
Logic 1 = DMA Mode.  
FCR[5:4]: Transmit FIFO Trigger Select  
(logic 0 = default, TX trigger level = one)  
These 2 bits set the trigger level for the transmit FIFO. The UART will issue a transmit interrupt when the  
number of characters in the FIFO falls below the selected trigger level, or when it gets empty in case that the  
FIFO did not get filled over the trigger level on last re-load. Table 11 below shows the selections. EFR bit-4  
must be set to ‘1’ before these bits can be accessed.Note that the receiver and the transmitter cannot use  
different trigger tables. Whichever selection is made last applies to both the RX and TX side.  
FCR[7:6]: Receive FIFO Trigger Select  
(logic 0 = default, RX trigger level =1)  
The FCTR Bits 5-4 are associated with these 2 bits. These 2 bits are used to set the trigger level for the receive  
FIFO. The UART will issue a receive interrupt when the number of the characters in the FIFO crosses the  
trigger level. Table 11 shows the complete selections. Note that the receiver and the transmitter cannot use  
different trigger tables. Whichever selection is made last applies to both the RX and TX side.

Parity or no parity can be selected via this bit. The parity bit is a simple way used in communications for data  
integrity check. See Table 12 for parity selection summary below.  
Logic 0 = No parity.  
Logic 1 = A parity bit is generated during the transmission while the receiver checks for parity error of the  
data character received.  
LCR[4]: TX and RX Parity Select  
If the parity bit is enabled with LCR bit-3 set to a logic 1, LCR BIT-4 selects the even or odd parity format.  
Logic 0 = ODD Parity is generated by forcing an odd number of logic 1’s in the transmitted character. The  
receiver must be programmed to check the same format (default).  
Logic 1 = EVEN Parity is generated by forcing an even number of logic 1’s in the transmitted character. The  
receiver must be programmed to check the same format.  
LCR[5]: TX and RX Parity Select  
If the parity bit is enabled, LCR BIT-5 selects the forced parity format.  
LCR BIT-5 = logic 0, parity is not forced (default).  
LCR BIT-5 = logic 1 and LCR BIT-4 = logic 0, parity bit is forced to a logical 1 for the transmit and receive  
data.

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", LOW 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”, LOW, 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.  
4.7  
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 HIGH (default).  
Logic 1 = Force DTR# output LOW.  
MCR[1]: RTS# Output  
The RTS# pin is a modem control output and may be used for automatic hardware flow control by enabled by  
EFR bit-6 or auto RS-485 half-duplex direction control output enabled by FCTR bit-3. If the modem interface is  
not used, this output may be used as a general purpose output.  
Logic 0 = Force RTS# output HIGH (default).  
Logic 1 = Force RTS# output LOW.  
MCR[2]: Reserved  
OP1# is not available as an output pin on the 2751. 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.  
MCR[3]: OP2# Output / INT Output Enable  
This bit enables and disables the operation of INT/IRQ#, interrupt output. If INT/IRQ# output is not used, OP2#  
can be used as a general purpose output. Also, if 16/68# pin selects Motorola bus interface mode, this bit must  
be set to logic 0.  
Logic 0 = INT (A-B) outputs disabled (three state mode) and OP2# output set HIGH (default).  
Logic 1 = INT (A-B) outputs enabled (active mode) and OP2# output set LOW.  
MCR[4]: Internal Loopback Enable  
Logic 0 = Disable loopback mode (default).  
Logic 1 = Enable local loopback mode, see loopback section and Figure 13.  
MCR[5]: Xon-Any Enable  
Logic 0 = Disable Xon-Any function (for 16C550 compatibility, default).  
Logic 1 = Enable Xon-Any function. In this mode, any RX character received will resume transmit operation.  
The RX character will be loaded into the RX FIFO, unless the RX character is an Xon or Xoff character and  
the 2751 is programmed to use the Xon/Xoff flow control.

MCR[6]: Infrared Encoder/Decoder Enable  
Logic 0 = Enable the standard modem receive and transmit input/output interface. (Default)  
Logic 1 = Enable infrared IrDA receive and transmit inputs/outputs. The TX/RX output/input are routed to the  
infrared encoder/decoder. The data input and output levels conform to the IrDA infrared interface  
requirement. While in this mode, the infrared TX output will be a logic 0 during idle data conditions.  
MCR[7]: BRG Clock Prescaler Select  
The 2751 has a hardware pin (pin 25) to select this function upon power up or reset. After the power up or  
reset, this register bit will have control and can alter the logic state.  
Logic 0 = Divide by one. The input clock from the crystal or external clock is fed directly to the Programmable  
Baud Rate Generator without further modification, i.e., divide by one (default).  
Logic 1 = Divide by four. The prescaler divides the input clock from the crystal or external clock by four and  
feeds it to the Programmable Baud Rate Generator, hence, data rates become one forth.  
4.8  
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 Flag  
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 Flag  
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 Flag  
Logic 0 = No break condition (default).  
Logic 1 = The receiver received a break signal (RX was LOW for at least one character frame time). In the  
FIFO mode, only one break character is loaded into the FIFO.  
LSR[5]: Transmit Holding Register Empty Flag  
This bit is the Transmit Holding Register Empty indicator. 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.

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.  
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 any of the bytes in the  
RX FIFO.  
4.9  
Modem Status Register (MSR) - Read Only  
This register provides the current state of the modem interface input signals. 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 for general purpose inputs 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 LOW to HIGH, 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  
CTS# pin may function as automatic hardware flow control signal input if it is enabled and selected by Auto  
CTS (EFR bit-7). Auto CTS flow control allows starting and stopping of local data transmissions based on the  
modem CTS# signal. A HIGH on the CTS# pin will stop UART transmitter as soon as the current character has  
finished transmission, and a LOW will resume data transmission. Normally MSR bit-4 bit is the complement 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 complement 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 complement 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.

Register which is located in the general register set when FCTR bit-6 = 1 (Scratchpad Register Swap). It is  
suggested to read the FIFO Level Count Register at the Scratchpad Register location when FCTR bit-6 = 1.  
See Table 13.  
FC[7:0]: RX/TX FIFO Level Count  
Receive/Transmit FIFO Level Count. Number of characters in Receiver FIFO (FCTR[7] = 0) or Transmitter  
FIFO (FCTR[7] = 1) can be read via this register.  
4.18  
Feature Control Register (FCTR) - Read/Write  
This register controls the XR16L2751 new functions.  
FCTR[1:0]: RTS Hysteresis  
User selectable RTS# hysteresis levels for hardware flow control application. After reset, these bits are set to  
“0”. See Table 14 for more details.  
FCTR[2]: IrDa RX Inversion  
Logic 0 = Select RX input as encoded IrDa data (Idle state will be LOW).  
Logic 1 = Select RX input as inverted encoded IrDa data (Idle state will be HIGH).  
FCTR[3]: Auto RS-485 Direction Control  
The 2751 has hardware pin 37 to enable this auto RS-485 direction control function from power up, however,  
pin 37 must be tied to VCC for this bit to gain control else auto RS-485 is always active.  
Logic 0 = Standard ST16C550 mode. Transmitter generates an interrupt when transmit holding register  
becomes empty and transmit shift register is shifting data out.  
Logic 1 = Enable Auto RS485 Direction Control function. The direction control signal, RTS# pin, changes its  
output logic state from LOW to HIGH one bit time after the last stop bit of the last character is shifted out.  
Also, the Transmit interrupt generation is delayed until the transmitter shift register becomes empty. The  
RTS# output pin will automatically return to a LOW when a data byte is loaded into the TX FIFO. However,  
RTS# behavior can be inverted by setting EMSR[3] = 1.

Logic 0 = Scratchpad register is selected as general read and write register. ST16C550 compatible mode.  
Logic 1 = FIFO Count register (Read-Only), Enhanced Mode Select Register (Write-Only). Number of  
characters in transmit or receive FIFO can be read via Scratchpad register when this bit is set. Enhanced  
Mode Select Register is selected when it is written into.  
FCTR[7]: Programmable Trigger Register Select  
Logic 0 = Registers TRG and FC selected for RX.  
Logic 1 = Registers TRG and FC selected for TX.  
4.19  
Enhanced Feature Register (EFR)  
Enhanced features are enabled or disabled using this register. Bit 0-3 provide single or dual consecutive  
character software flow control selection (see Table 16). When the Xon1 and Xon2 and Xoff1 and Xoff2 modes  
are selected, the double 8-bit words are concatenated into two sequential characters. Caution: note that  
whenever changing the TX or RX flow control bits, always reset all bits back to logic 0 (disable) before  
programming a new setting.  
EFR[3:0]: Software Flow Control Select  
Single character and dual sequential characters software flow control is supported. Combinations of software  
flow control can be selected by programming these bits.

EFR[4]: Enhanced Function Bits Enable  
Enhanced function control bit. This bit enables IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 4-5, and MCR bits 5-7 to be  
modified. After modifying any enhanced bits, EFR bit-4 can be set to a logic 0 to latch the new values. This  
feature prevents legacy software from altering or overwriting the enhanced functions once set. Normally, it is  
recommended to leave it enabled, logic 1.  
Logic 0 = modification disable/latch enhanced features. IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 4-5, and MCR  
bits 5-7 are saved to retain the user settings. After a reset, the IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 4-5, and  
MCR bits 5-7 are set to a logic 0 to be compatible with ST16C550 mode (default).  
Logic 1 = Enables the above-mentioned register bits to be modified by the user.  
EFR[5]: Special Character Detect Enable  
Logic 0 = Special Character Detect Disabled (default).  
Logic 1 = Special Character Detect Enabled. The UART compares each incoming receive character with  
data in Xoff-2 register. If a match exists, the receive data will be transferred to FIFO and ISR bit-4 will be set  
to indicate detection of the special character. Bit-0 corresponds with the LSB bit of the receive character. If  
flow control is set for comparing Xon1, Xoff1 (EFR [1:0]= ‘10’) then flow control and special character work  
normally. However, if flow control is set for comparing Xon2, Xoff2 (EFR[1:0]= ‘01’) then flow control works  
normally, but Xoff2 will not go to the FIFO, and will generate an Xoff interrupt and a special character  
interrupt, if enabled via IER bit-5.  
EFR[6]: Auto RTS Flow Control Enable  
RTS# output may be used for hardware flow control by setting EFR bit-6 to logic 1. When Auto RTS is  
selected, an interrupt will be generated when the receive FIFO is filled to the programmed trigger level and  
RTS de-asserts HIGH at the next upper trigger level. RTS# will return LOW when FIFO data falls below the  
next lower trigger level. The RTS# output must be asserted (LOW) before the auto RTS can take effect. RTS#  
pin will function as a general purpose output when hardware flow control is disabled.  
Logic 0 = Automatic RTS flow control is disabled (default).  
Logic 1 = Enable Automatic RTS flow control.  
EFR[7]: Auto CTS Flow Control Enable  
Automatic CTS Flow Control.  
Logic 0 = Automatic CTS flow control is disabled (default).  
Logic 1 = Enable Automatic CTS flow control. Data transmission stops when CTS# input de-asserts HIGH.  
Data transmission resumes when CTS# returns LOW.  
4.20 Software Flow Control Registers (XOFF1, XOFF2, XON1, XON2) - Read/Write  
These registers are used as the programmable software flow control characters xoff1, xoff2, xon1, and xon2.
