The XR17D158 (D158) is an octal PCI Bus

Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter

(UART) with support for PCI Bus universal VIO

buffers in the same package and pin-out as the

XR17C158, XR17C154 and XR17D154. The device

is designed to meet the 32-bit PCI Bus and high

bandwidth requirement in communication systems. A

global interrupt source register provides a complete

interrupt status indication for all 8 channels to speed

up interrupt parsing. Each UART has its own 16C550

compatible set of configuration registers, transmit and

receive FIFOs of 64 bytes, fully programmable

transmit and receive FIFO level trigger levels,

transmit and receive FIFO level counters, automatic

RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR hardware flow control with

REV. 1.2.1

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The XR17D158 (D158) integrates the functions of 8 enhanced 16550 UARTs with the PCI Local Bus interface

and a non-volatile memory interface for PCI bus’s plug-and-play auto-configuration, a 16-bit timer/counter, 8

multi-purpose inputs/outputs, and an on-chip oscillator. The PCI local bus is a synchronous timing bus where

all bus transactions are associated to the bus clock of up to 33MHz. The D158 supports 32-bit wide read and

write data transfer operations including data burst mode through the PCI Local Bus interface. Read and write

data operations may be in byte, word or double-word (DWORD) format. A single 32-bit interrupt status register

provides interrupts status for all 8 UARTs, timer/counter, multipurpose inputs/outputs, and a special sleep wake

up indicator. There are three sets of register in the device. First, the PCI local bus configuration registers for

PCI auto configuration. A set of device configuration registers for overall control, 32-bit wide transmit and

receive data transfer, and monitoring of the 8 UART channels. Lastly, each UART channel has its own 16550

UART compatible configuration register set for individual channel control, status, and byte wide data transfer.

Each UART has 64-byte FIFOs, automatic RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR hardware flow control with hysteresis

control, automatic Xon/Xoff and special character software flow control, programmable transmit and receive

FIFO trigger level, FIFO level counters, infrared encoder and decoder (IrDA ver. 1.0), programmable baud rate

generator with a prescaler of 1X or 4X, and data rate up to 6.25 Mbps at 8X sampling clock.The XR17D158 is

available in a thin 144-pin TQFP (20x20x1.4mm) package in commercial and industrial temperature ranges.

PCI LOCAL BUS INTERFACE

This is the host interface and it meets the PCI Local Bus Specification revision 2.3. The PCI local bus

operations are synchronous meaning each transaction is associated to the bus clock. The XR17D158 can

operate with the bus clock of up to a 33.34MHz. Data transfers operation can be formatted in 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-

bit or 32-bit wide. With 32-bit data operations, it pushes the data transfer rate on the bus up to 132 MByte/sec.

This increases the overall system’s communication performance up to 16 times better than the 8-bit ISA bus.

See PCI local bus specification revision 2.3 for bus operation details.

PCI LOCAL BUS CONFIGURATION SPACE REGISTERS

A set of PCI local bus configuration space register is provided. These registers provide the PCI local bus

operating system with the card’s vendor ID, device ID, sub-vendor ID, product model number, and resources

and capabilities. The PCI local bus operating system collects this data from all the cards on the bus during the

auto configuration phase that follows immediately after a power up or system reset/reboot. After it has sorted

out all devices on the bus, it defines and download the operating conditions to the cards. One of the definitions

is the base address loaded into the Base Address Register (BAR) where the card will be operating in the PCI

local bus memory space.

EEPROM INTERFACE

An external 93C46 EEPROM is only used to store the vendor’s ID and model number, and the sub-vendor’s ID

and product model number. This information is only used with the plug-and-play auto configuration of the PCI

local bus. These data provide automatic hardware installation onto the PCI bus. The EEPROM interface

consists of 4 signals, EEDI, EEDO, EECS, and EECK. The EEPROM is not needed when auto configuration is

not required in the application. However, If your design requires non-volatile memory for other purpose. It is

possible to store and retrieve data on the EEPROM through a special PCI device configuration register. See

application note DAN112 for its programming details.

1.0 APPLICATION EXAMPLES

The XR17D158 is designed to operate with VCC (voltage to the UART Core Logic) at 5V only, irrespective of

whether the PCI bus is at 3.3V or 5V. Table 1 below shows the valid combinations of VCC and the PCI Bus

A typical application for a universal add-in card (VCC must be 5V) is shown in Figure 3. In an embedded

system, the designer must still choose 5V power supply for the VCC regardless of VIO (3.3 or 5V). In Figure 4,

examples 1 and 2 show valid applications of the XR17D158 in an embedded system.

The XR17D158 UART has three different sets of registers as shown in Figure 5. The PCI local bus

configuration space registers are for plug-and-play auto-configuration when connecting the device to a the PCI

bus. This auto-configuration feature makes installation very easy into a PCI system and it is part of the PCI

local bus specification. The second register set is the device configuration registers that are accessible directly

from the PCI bus for programming general operating conditions of the device and monitoring the status of

various functions. These registers are mapped into 4K of the PCI bus memory address space. These functions

include all 8 channel UART’s interrupt control and status, 16-bit general purpose timer control and status,

multipurpose inputs/outputs control and status, sleep mode, soft-reset, and device identification and revision.

And lastly, each UART channel has its own set of internal UART configuration registers for its own operation

control and status reporting. All 8 sets of channel registers are embedded inside the device configuration

registers space, which provides faster access. The following paragraphs describe all 3 sets of registers in

detail.

PCI LOCAL BUS CONFIGURATION SPACE REGISTERS

The PCI local bus configuration space registers are responsible for setting up the device’s operating

environment in the PCI local bus. The pre-defined operating parameters of the device is read by the PCI bus

plug-and-play auto-configuration manager in the operating system. After the PCI bus has collected all data

from every device/card on the bus, it defines and downloads the memory mapping information to each device/

card about their individual operation memory address location and conditions. The operating memory mapped

address location is downloaded into the Base Address Register (BAR) register, 0x10. The plug-and-play auto

configuration feature is only available when an external 93C46 EEPROM is used. The EEPROM contains the

device vendor and sub-vendor data required by the auto-configuration setup.

Device Configuration Register Set

The device configuration registers and a special way to access each of the UART’s transmit and receive data

FIFOs are accessible directly from the PCI data bus. This provides easy programming of general operating

parameters to the D158 UART and for monitoring the status of various functions. The registers occupy 4K of

PCI bus memory address space. These addresses are offset onto the basic memory address, a value loaded

into the Memory Base Address Register (BAR) in the PCI local bus configuration register set. These registers

control or report on all 8 channel UARTs functions that include interrupt control and status, 16-bit general

purpose timer control and status, multipurpose inputs/outputs control and status, sleep mode control, soft-reset

control, and device identification and revision, and others.

The registers set is mapped into 8 address blocks where each UART channel occupies 512 bytes memory

space for its own 16550 compatible configuration registers. The device configuration and control registers are

embedded inside the UART channel zero’s address space between 0x0080 to 0x0093. All these registers can

be accessed in 8, 16, 24 or 32 bit width depending on the starting address given by the host at beginning of the

bus cycle. Transmit and receive data may be loaded or unloaded in 8, 16, 24 or 32 bit format to the register’s

address. Every time a read or write operation is made to the transmit or receive register, its FIFO data pointer

is automatically bumped to the next sequential data location either in byte, word or dword. One special case

applies to the receive data unloading when reading the receive data together with its LSR register content. The

host must read them in 16 or 32 bits format in order to maintain integrity of the data byte with its associated

error flags.

2.2.1

The Interrupt Status Register

The XR17D158 has a 32-bit wide register [INT0, INT1, INT2 and INT3] to provide interrupt information and

supports two interrupt schemes. The first scheme uses an 8-bit indicator (INT0) representing each channel

from 0 to 7. This permits the interrupt routine to quickly vector and serve that UART channel and determine the

source(s) in each individual routines. INT0 bit-0 represents the interrupt status for UART channel 0 when its

transmitter, receiver, line status, or modem port status requires service. Other bits in the INT0 register provide

indication for the other channels with bit-7 representing UART channel 7 respectively.

The second scheme provides detail about the source of the interrupts for each UART channel. All the interrupts

are encoded into a 3-bit code. This 3-bit code represents 7 interrupts corresponding to individual UART’s

transmitter, receiver, line status, modem port status. INT1, INT2 and INT3 registers provide the 24-bit interrupt

status for all 8 channels. Bits 8, 9 and 10 representing channel 0 and bits 29, 30 and 31 representing channel 7

respectively. All 8 channel interrupts status are available with a single DWORD read operation. This feature

allows the host quickly vectors and serves the interrupts, reducing service interval, hence, reduce host

bandwidth requirement. Figure 6 shows the 4-byte interrupt register and its make up.

[default 0x00-00-00-00]

INT0 [7:0]

INT3 [31:24] INT2 [23:16] INT1 [15:87]

A special interrupt condition is generated by the D158 when it wakes up from sleep mode. This special

interrupt is cleared by reading the INT0 register. If there are not any other interrupts pending, the value read

from INT0 would be 0x00.

INT0 [7:0] Channel Interrupt Indicator

Each bit gives an indication of the channel that has requested for service. Bit-0 represents channel 0 and bit-7

indicates channel 7. Logic one indicates that a channel has called for service. The interrupt bit clears after

reading the appropriate register of the interrupting channel register, see Interrupt Clearing section.

The INT0 register provides individual status for each channel

priority order are shown below in Table 6. The Timer and MPIO interrupts are for the device and therefore they

exist within channel 0 space (bits [10:8]) only.

General Purpose 16-bit Timer/Counter [TIMERMSB, TIMELSB, TIMER, TIMECNTL] (DEFAULT

0XXX-XX-00-00)

A 16-bit down-count timer for general purpose timer or counter. Its clock source may be selected from internal

crystal oscillator or externally on pin TMRCK. The timer can be set to be a single-shot for a one-time event or

re-triggerable for continue interval. An interrupt may be generated in the INT Register when the timer times out.

It is controlled through 4 configuration registers [TIMERCNTL, TIMER, TIMELSB, TIMERMSB]. These

registers provide start/stop and re-triggerable or one-shot operation. The time-out output of the Timer can be

set to generate an interrupt for system or event alarm.

SLEEP [31:24] (default 0x00)

Each UART can be separately enabled to enter Sleep mode through the Sleep register. Sleep mode reduces

power consumption when the system needs to put the UART(s) to idle. All of these conditions must be satisfied

for the D158 to enter sleep mode:

• no interrupts pending (INT0 = 0x00)

• divisor is a non-zero value for all channels (ie. DLL = 0x1)

• sleep mode is enabled (SLEEP = 0xFF)

• modem inputs for all channels are not toggling (MSR bits 0-3 = 0)

• RX input pins for all channels are idling HIGH

The D158 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 D158 resumes normal operation by any of the following:

• 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 D158 is awakened by any one of the above conditions, it will return to the sleep mode automatically after

all interrupting conditions have been serviced and cleared. If the D158 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 any channel. The D158 will stay in the sleep mode of operation until it is disabled

by setting Sleep = 0x00. In this case, the octal UART is awaken by any of the UART channel from a receive

data byte or a change on the serial port. The UART is ready after 32 crystal clocks to ensure full functionality.

Also, a special interrupt is generated with an indication of no pending interrupt. Reading INT0 will clear this

special interrupt. Logic 0 (default) is disable and logic 1 is enable to sleep mode.

Important: The XR17D158 is a versatile device designed to operate with different VCC (core power supply)

and VIO (PCI bus I/O power supply). However, the VCC and VIO must be equal (VCC = VIO) for the sleep

mode to reduce power consumption. Any difference in these voltages will result in high currents, when placed

in sleep mode. If sleep mode is used, it is recommended that both VCC and VIO be powered by the PCI bus

VIO power pins. If sleep mode is not used, there is no concern about high currents whether VCC = VIO or VCC

> VIO. In any case, VCC should never be less than VIO.

Device Identification and Revision

There are two internal registers that provide device identification and revision, DVID and DREV registers. The

8-bit content in the DVID register provides device identification. A return value of 0x28 from this register

indicates the device is a XR17D158. The DREV register returns an 8-bit value of 0x01 for revision A with 0x02

equals to revision B and so forth. This information is very useful to the software driver for identifying which

device it is communicating with and to keep up with revision changes.

Multi-Purpose Inputs and Outputs

The D158 provides 8 multi-purpose inputs/outputs [MPIO7:0] for general use. Each pin can be programmed to

be an input or output function. The input logic state can be set for normal or inverted level, and optionally set to

generate an interrupt. The outputs can be set to be normal logic 1 or 0 state, or 3-state. Their functions and

definitions are programmed through 5 registers: MPIOINT, MPIOLVL, MPIO3T, MPIOINV and MPIOSEL. If all

8 pins are set for inputs, all 8 interrupts would be OR’ed together. The OR’ed interrupt is reported in the

channel 0 UART interrupt status, see Interrupt Status Register. The pins may also be programmed to be

outputs and to the 3-state condition for signal sharing.

2.2.10 MPIO REGISTER

Bit 7 represents MPIO7 pin and bit 0 represents MPIO0 pin. There are 5 registers that select, control and

3.0 CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR / BUFFER

The D158 includes an on-chip oscillator (XTAL1 and XTAL2). The crystal oscillator provides the system clock

to the Baud Rate Generators (BRG) in each of the 8 UARTs, the 16-bit general purpose timer/counter and

internal logics. XTAL1 is the input to the oscillator or external clock buffer input with XTAL2 pin being the

output. See Programmable Baud Rate Generator in the UART section for programming details.

The on-chip oscillator is designed to use an industry standard microprocessor crystal (parallel resonant with

10-22 pF capacitance load, 100ppm) connected externally between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins (see Figure 9).

Alternatively, an external clock can be connected to the XTAL1 pin to clock the internal 8 baud rate generators

for standard or custom rates. However, for external clock frequencies greater than 24MHz, a 2K pull-up may be

necessary on the XTAL2 output (see Figure 10). Typically, the oscillator connections are shown in Figure 9. For

further reading on oscillator circuit please see application note DAN108 on EXAR’s web site.

4.0 TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE DATA

There are two methods to load transmit data and unload receive data from each UART channel. First, there is

a transmit data register and receive data register for each UART channel in the device configuration register

set to ease programming. These registers support 8, 16, 24 and 32 bits wide format. In the 32-bit format, it

increases the data transfer rate on the PCI bus. Additionally, a special register location provides receive data

byte with its associated error flags. This is a 16-bit or 32-bit read operation where the Line Status Register

(LSR) content in the UART channel register is paired along with the data byte. This operation further facilitates

data unloading with the error flags without having to read the LSR register separately. Furthermore, the

XR17D158 supports PCI burst mode for read/write operation of up to 64 bytes of data.

The second method is through each UART channel’s transmit holding register (THR) and receive holding

register (RHR). The THR and RHR registers are 16550 compatible so their access is limited to 8-bit format.

The software driver must separately read the LSR content for the associated error flags before reading the

data byte.

4.1

FIFO DATA LOADING AND UNLOADING THROUGH THE DEVICE CONFIGURATION REGISTERS

IN 32-BIT FORMAT.

The XR17D158 supports PCI Burst Read and PCI Burst Write transactions anywhere in the mapped memory

region (except reserved areas). In addition, to utilize this feature fully, the device provides a separate memory

location (apart from the 16550 register set) where the RX and the TX FIFO can be read from/written to, as

shown in Table 3. The following is an extract from the table showing the burstable memory locations:

Channel N: (for channels 0 through 7) where M = 2N + 1.

RX FIFO

:

0xM00 - 0xM3F (64 bytes)

TX FIFO

0xM00 - 0xM3F (64 bytes)

RX FIFO + status

0xM80 - 0xMFF (64 bytes data + 64 bytes status)

For example, the locations for channel 2 are:

Channel 2:

RX FIFO

:

0x500 - 0x53F (64 bytes)

TX FIFO

0x500 - 0x53F (64 bytes)

RX FIFO + status

0x580 - 0x5FF (64 bytes data + 64 bytes status)

Normal Rx FIFO Data Unloading at locations 0x100, 0x300, 0x500, 0x700

The RX FIFO data (up to the maximum 64 bytes) can be read out in a single burst 32-bit read operation

(maximum 16 DWORD reads) at memory locations 0x100 (channel 0), 0x300 (channel 1), 0x500 (channel

2),......., 0xF00 (channel 7). This operation is at least 16 times faster than reading the data in 64 separate 8-bit

memory reads of RHR register (0x000 for channel 0, 0x200 for channel 1, 0x400 for channel 2,......, 0xE00 for

channel 7).

5.0 UART

There are 8 UARTs [channels 7:0] in the D158. Each has its own 64-byte of transmit and receive FIFO, a set of

16550 compatible control and status registers, and a baud rate generator for individual channel data rate

setting. Eight additional registers per UART were added for the EXAR enhanced features.

5.1

Programmable Baud Rate Generator

Each UART has its own Baud Rate Generator (BRG) with a prescaler for the transmitter and receiver. The

prescaler is controlled by 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. The output of the prescaler clocks to the BRG. The BRG further

16

divides this clock by a programmable divisor between 1 and (2 -1) to obtain a 16X or 8X sampling clock of

the serial data rate. The sampling clock is used by the transmitter for data bit shifting and receiver for data

sampling. The BRG divisor (DLL and DLM registers) defaults to a random value upon power up. Therefore, the

BRG must be programmed during initialization to the operating data rate.

5.2

Transmitter

The transmitter section comprises of a 64 bytes of FIFO, a byte-wide Transmit Holding Register (THR) and an

8-bit Transmit Shift Register (TSR). THR receives a data byte from the host (non-FIFO mode) or a data byte

from the FIFO when the FIFO is enabled by FCR bit-0. TSR shifts out every data bit with the 16X or 8X internal

clock. A bit time is 16 or 8 clock periods. The transmitter sends the start bit followed by the number of data bits,

inserts the proper parity bit if enable, and adds the stop bit(s). The status of the THR and TSR are reported in

the Line Status Register (LSR bit-5 and bit-6).

5.2.1

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 also the

input register to the transmit FIFO of 64 bytes when FIFO operation is enabled by FCR bit-0. A THR empty

interrupt can be generated when it is enabled in IER bit-1.

5.2.2

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.

5.2.3

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 (see TXTRG register). The transmit empty

interrupt is enabled by IER bit-1. The TSR flag (LSR bit-6) is set when TSR becomes completely empty.

Furthermore, with the RS485 half-duplex direction control enabled (FCTR bit-5=1) the source of the transmit

empty interrupt changes to TSR empty instead of THR empty. This is to ensure the RTS# output is not

changed until the last stop bit of the last character is shifted out.

5.2.4

Auto RS485 Operation

The auto RS485 half-duplex direction control changes the behavior of the transmitter when enabled by FCTR

bit-5. While transmitting, the RTS# or DTR# signal is HIGH. The RTS# or DTR# signal changes from HIGH to

LOW after a specified delay indicated in MSR[7:4] 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. The delay

optimizes the time needed for the last transmission to reach the farthest station on a long cable network before

switching off the line driver. This delay prevents undesirable line signal disturbance that causes signal

degradation. It also changes the transmitter empty interrupt to TSR empty instead of THR empty.

The receiver section contains an 8-bit Receive Shift Register (RSR) and Receive Holding Register (RHR). The

RSR uses the 16X or 8X clock 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 or 8X clock rate. After 8 or 4 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

reported in the LSR register bits 1- 4. Upon unloading the receive data byte from RHR, the receive FIFO

pointer is bumped and the error flags 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

function when receive data does not reach the receive FIFO trigger level. This time-out delay is 4 word lengths

as defined by LCR[1:0] plus 12 bits time. The RHR interrupt is enabled by IER bit-0.

5.3.1

Receive Holding Register (RHR)

The receive holding register is an 8-bit register that holds a receive data byte from the receive shift register

(RSR). It provides the receive data interface to the host processor. The host reads the receive data byte on this

register whenever a data byte is transferred from the RSR. RHR also part of the receive FIFO of 64 bytes by

11-bit wide, 3 extra bits are for the error flags to be in LSR register. When the FIFO is enabled by FCR bit-0, it

acts as the first-out register of the FIFO as new data are put over the first-in register. The receive FIFO pointer

is bumped after the RHR register is read. Also, the error flags associated with the data byte are immediately

updated onto the line status register (LSR) bits 1-4.

Automatic Hardware (RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR) Flow Control Operation

Automatic hardware RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR flow control is used to prevent data overrun to the local receiver

FIFO and remote receiver FIFO. The RTS#/DTR# output pin is used to request the remote unit to suspend/

restart data transmission while the CTS#/DSR# input pin is monitored to suspend/restart the local transmitter.

The auto RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR flow control features are individually selected to fit specific application

requirement and enabled through EFR bit-6 and 7 and MCR bit-2 for either RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR control

signals.

Auto RTS flow control must be started by asserting the RTS# output pin LOW (MCR bit-1 = 1). Similarly, Auto

detail how automatic hardware flow control works.

Two interrupts associated with auto RTS/CTS and DTR/DSR flow control have been added to give indication

when RTS#/DTR# pin or CTS#/DSR# pin are de-asserted during operation. These interrupts are enabled by:

• Setting EFR bit-4 =1 to enable the shaded register bits

• Setting IER bit-7 will enable the CTS#/DSR# interrupt when these pins are de-asserted. The selection of

CTS# or DSR# is selected via MCR bit-2. See Table 11 above for complete details.

• Setting IER bit-6 will enable the RTS#/DTR# interrupt when these pins are de-asserted. The selection of

RTS# or DTR# is selected via MCR bit-2. See Table 11 above for complete details.

Automatic hardware flow control is selected by setting bits 6 (RTS) and 7 (CTS) of the EFR register to logic 1.

If CTS# pin transitions from LOW to HIGH indicating a flow control request, ISR bit-5 will be set to logic 1, (if

enabled via IER bit 6-7), and the UART will suspend TX transmissions as soon as the stop bit of the character

in process is shifted out. Transmission is resumed after the CTS# input returns 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.

Infrared Mode

Each UART in the D158 includes the infrared encoder and decoder compatible to the IrDA (Infrared Data

Association) version 1.0. The input pin ENIR conveniently activates all 8 UART channels to start up in the

infrared mode. This global control pin enables the MCR bit-6 function in every UART channel register. After

power up or a reset, the software can overwrite MCR bit-6 if so desired. ENIR and MCR bit-6 also disable its

receiver while the transmitter is sending data. This prevents the echoed data from going to the receiver. The

global activation ENIR pin prevents the infrared emitter from turning on and drawing large amount of current

while the system is starting up. When the infrared feature is enabled, the transmit data outputs, TX[7:0], would

idle at logic zero level. Likewise, the RX [7:0] inputs assume an idle level of logic zero.

The infrared encoder sends out a 3/16 of a bit wide 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 17 below.

The infrared decoder receives the input pulse from the infrared sensing diode on RX pin. Each time the

decoder senses a light pulse, it returns a logic zero to the data bit stream. The RX input signal may be inverted

prior delivered to the input of the decoder via internal register setting. This option supports active low instead of

normal active high pulse from some infrared modules on the market.

Internal Loopback

Each UART channel provides an internal loopback capability for system diagnostic. The internal loopback

mode is enabled by setting MCR register bit-4 to logic 1. All regular UART functions operate normally.

Figure 18 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 (idle or de-asserted state), and the CTS#, DSR#

CD# and RI# inputs are ignored.

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) register and

also encoded in INT (INT0-INT3) register in the Device Configuration Registers.

IER VERSUS RECEIVE FIFO INTERRUPT MODE OPERATION

When the receive FIFO (FCR bit-0 = a logic 1) and receive interrupts (IER BIT-0 = logic 1) are enabled, the

RHR interrupts (see ISR bits 3 and 4) 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.

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 158 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 BITS 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. A receive data timeout interrupt

will be issued in the FIFO mode when the receive FIFO has not reached the programmed trigger level and the

RX input has been idle for 4 character + 12 bit times.

• Logic 0 = Disable the receive data ready interrupt (default).

• Logic 1 = Enable the receiver data ready interrupt.

IER[1]: THR Interrupt Enable

When Auto RS485 mode operation is disabled (FCTR bit-5 = 0), this interrupt is associated with bit-5 in the

LSR register. An interrupt is issued whenever the THR becomes empty or when data in the FIFO falls below

the programmed trigger level. When Auto RS485 mode operation is enabled (FCTR bit-5 = 1), this interrupt is

associated with bit-6 in the LSR register. An interrupt is issued whenever the TX FIFO and the TSR becomes

empty.

• Logic 0 = Disable Transmit Holding Register empty interrupt (default).

• Logic 1 = Enable Transmit Holding Register empty interrupt.

IER[2]: Receive Line Status Interrupt Enable

Any of LSR register bits 1, 2, 3 or 4 will generate an LSR interrupt immediately when a character received by

the RX FIFO has an error.

• 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.

tion.

5.8.5

Interrupt Status Register (ISR) - Read-Only

The UART provides multiple levels of prioritized interrupts to minimize external software interaction. The Inter-

rupt 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 with others queued up for next ser-

vice. No other interrupts are acknowledged until the pending interrupt is serviced. The Interrupt Source Table,

Table 14, shows the data values (bit 0-5) for the six prioritized interrupt levels and the interrupt sources associ-

ated 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 the a 4-char plus 12 bits delay timer if the RX FIFO level is less than the RX trigger

level.

• TXRDY is by LSR bit-5 (or bit-6 in auto RS485 control).

• MSR is by any of the MSR bits, 0, 1, 2 and 3.

• Receive Xon/Xoff/Special character is by detection of a Xon, Xoff or Special character.

• CTS#/DSR# is by a change of state on the input pin (from LOW to HIGH) with auto flow control enabled,

EFR bit-7, and depending on selection of MCR bit-2.

• RTS#/DTR# is when its receiver changes the state of the output pin (from LOW to HIGH) during auto RTS/

DTR flow control enabled by EFR bit-6 and selection of MCR bit-2.

• Wake-up Indicator: when the UART comes out of sleep mode.

Interrupt Clearing:

• LSR interrupt is cleared by a read to the LSR register.

• RXRDY is cleared by reading data until FIFO falls below the trigger level.

• RXRDY Time-out is cleared by reading data until the RX FIFO is empty.

• TXRDY interrupt is cleared by a read to the ISR register.

• MSR interrupt is cleared by a read to the MSR register.

• Xon or Xoff character interrupt is cleared by a read to ISR register.

• Special character interrupt is cleared by a read to ISR register or after the next character is received.

• RTS#/DTR# and CTS#/DSR# status change interrupts are cleared by a read to the MSR register.

• Wake-up Indicator is cleared by a read to the INT0 register.

XCHAR register will indicate which character (Xoff or Xon) was received last. If it is a special character

interrupt, it can be cleared by reading ISR or it will automatically clear after the next character is received.

ISR[5]: RTS#/CTS# Interrupt Status

This bit is enabled when EFR bit-4 is set to a logic 1. ISR bit-5 indicates that the CTS# or RTS# has changed

state from LOW to HIGH.

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.

5.8.6

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 (legacy term that refers to "block transfer 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 active.

• 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 active.

• Logic 0 = No transmit FIFO reset (default).

• Logic 1 = Reset the transmit FIFO pointers and FIFO level counter logic (the transmit shift register is not

cleared or altered). This bit will return to a logic 0 after resetting the FIFO.

FCR[3]: DMA Mode Select

This bit has no effect since TXRDY and RXRDY pins are not available in this device. It is provided for legacy

software. DMA is a legacy term used for block transfer mode. DMA does not stand for "Direct Memory Ac-

cess."

• Logic 0 = Set DMA to mode 0 (default).

• Logic 1 = Set DMA to mode 1.

FCR[5:4]: Transmit FIFO Trigger Select

(logic 0 = default, TX trigger level = 1)

The FCTR bits 6-7 are associated with these 2 bits by selecting one of the four tables. The 4 user selectable

trigger levels in 4 tables are supported for compatibility reasons. These 2 bits set the trigger level for the

transmit FIFO interrupt. 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 15 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.

LCR[3]: TX and RX Parity Select

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 16 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 the 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 BIT-5 = logic 1 and LCR BIT-4 = logic 1, parity bit is forced to a logical 0 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.

5.8.8

Modem Control Register (MCR) - Read/Write

The MCR register is used for controlling the modem interface signals or general purpose inputs/outputs.

MCR[0]: DTR# Pins

The DTR# pin may be used for automatic hardware flow control enabled by EFR bit-6 and MCR bit-2=1. If the

modem interface is not used, this output may be used for general purpose.

• Logic 0 = Force DTR# output HIGH (default).

• Logic 1 = Force DTR# output LOW.

MCR[1]: RTS# Pins

The RTS# pin may be used for automatic hardware flow control by enabled by EFR bit-6 and MCR bit-2=0. If

the modem interface is not used, this output may be used for general purpose.

• Logic 0 = Force RTS# output HIGH (default).

• Logic 1 = Force RTS# output LOW.

MCR[2]: DTR# or RTS# for Auto Flow Control

DTR# or RTS# auto hardware flow control select. This bit is in effect only when auto RTS/DTR is enabled by

EFR bit-6. DTR# selection is associated with DSR# and RTS# is with CTS#.

• Logic 0 = Uses RTS# and CTS# pins for auto hardware flow control.

• Logic 1 = Uses DTR# and DSR# pins for auto hardware flow control.

MCR[3]: (OP2)

The OP2 output is not available in the XR17D158. It is present for 16C550 compatibility during internal

loopback. See Figure 18. Logic 0 is default.

MCR[4]: Internal Loopback Enable

• Logic 0 = Disable internal loopback mode (default).

• Logic 1 = Enable internal loopback mode, see loopback section and Figure 18.

UNIVERSAL (3.3V AND 5V) PCI BUS OCTAL UART

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 enable Xon, resume data

transmission.

MCR[6]: Infrared Encoder/Decoder Enable

The state of this bit depends on the sampled logic level of pin ENIR during power up, following a hardware

reset or a soft-reset. Afterward user can override this bit for desired operation.

• Logic 0 = Disable the infrared mode, operates in the normal serial character mode.

• Logic 1 = Enable infrared IrDA receive and transmit inputs/outputs. While in this mode, the TX/RX output/

input are routed to the infrared encoder/decoder. The data input and output levels will conform to the IrDA

infrared interface requirement. As such, while in this mode the infrared TX output will be a logic 0 during idle

data conditions. FCTR bit-4 may be selected to invert the RX input signal level going to the decoder for

infrared modules that provide rather an inverted output.

MCR[7]: Clock Prescaler Select

• 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-fourth.

5.8.9

Line Status Register (LSR) - Read/Only

This register provides the status of data transfers between the UART and the host. If IER bit-2 is set to a logic

1, an LSR interrupt will be generated immediately when any character in the RX FIFO has an error (parity,

framing, overrun, break). Reading LSR will clear LSR bits 4-1.

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. This bit is cleared after LSR is read.

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. This bit is cleared after LSR is read.

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. This bit is cleared after LSR is read.

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 one character frame time). In the FIFO

mode, only one break character is loaded into the FIFO. This bit is cleared after LSR is read.

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 at least 1 byte is written to the transmit FIFO.

LSR[6]: Transmit Shift Register Empty Flag

This bit is the Transmit Shift Register Empty indicator. 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 one 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 = An 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.

5.8.10 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

CTS# pin may function as automatic hardware flow control signal input if it is enabled and selected by Auto

CTS (EFR bit-7) and RTS/CTS flow control select (MCR bit-2). Auto CTS flow control allows starting and

stopping of local data transmissions based on the modem CTS# signal. A logic 1 on the CTS# pin will stop

UART transmitter as soon as the current character has finished transmission, and a logic 0 will resume data

transmission. If automatic hardware flow control is not used, 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.

is not used, 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

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

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

5.8.11 Modem Status Register (MSR) - Write-Only

The upper four bits 4-7 of this register sets the delay in number of bits time for the auto RS485 turn around

from transmit to receive.

MSR [7:4]

When Auto RS485 feature is enabled (FCTR bit-5=1) and RTS# output is connected to the enable input of a

RS-485 transceiver. These 4 bits select from 0 to 15 bit-time delay after the end of the last stop-bit of the last

transmitted character. This delay controls when to change the state of RTS# output. This delay is very useful in

long-cable networks. Table 17 shows the selection. The bits are enabled by EFR bit-4.

FEATURE CONTROL REGISTER (FCTR) - Read/Write

FCTR [3:0] - Auto RTS/DTR Flow Control Hysteresis Select

These bits select the auto RTS/DTR flow control hysteresis and only valid when TX and RX Trigger Table-D is

selected (FCTR bit-6 and 7 are set to logic 1). The RTS/DTR hysteresis is referenced to the RX FIFO trigger

level. After reset, these bits are set to logic 0 selecting the next FIFO trigger level for hardware flow control.

Table 18 shows the 16 selectable hysteresis levels.

FCTR[4]: Infrared RX Input Logic Select

• Logic 0 = Select RX input as active high encoded IrDA data, normal, (default).

• Logic 1 = Select RX input as active low encoded IrDA data, inverted.

FCTR[5]: Auto RS485 Enable

Auto RS485 half duplex control enable/disable.

• Logic 0 = Standard ST16C550 mode. Transmitter generates an interrupt when transmit holding register

(THR) becomes empty. Transmit Shift Register (TSR) may still be shifting data bit out.

• Logic 1 = Enable Auto RS485 half duplex direction control. RTS# output changes its logic level from HIGH to

LOW when finished sending the last stop bit of the last character out of the TSR register. It changes back to

HIGH from LOW when a data byte is loaded into the THR or transmit FIFO. The change to HIGH occurs prior

sending the start-bit. It also changes the transmitter interrupt from transmit holding to transmit shift register

(TSR) empty.

FCTR[7:6]: TX and RX FIFO Trigger Table Select

These 2 bits select the transmit and receive FIFO trigger level table A, B, C or D. When table A, B, or C is

selected the auto RTS flow control trigger level is set to "next FIFO trigger level" for compatibility to ST16C550

and ST16C650 series. RTS#/DTR# triggers on the next level of the RX FIFO trigger level, in another word, one

FIFO level above and one FIFO level below. See Table 15 for complete selection with FCR bit 4-5 and FCTR

bit 6-7, i.e. if Table C is used on the receiver with RX FIFO trigger level set to 56 bytes, RTS/DTR# output will

de-assert at 60 and re-assert at 16.

5.8.14 Enhanced Feature Register (EFR) - Read/Write

Enhanced features are enabled or disabled using this register. Bits 0-3 provide single or dual consecutive

character software flow control selection (see Table 19). 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

Combinations of software flow control can be selected by programming these bits. See Table 19 for complete

selections. The XOFF1/XOFF2 characters are transmitted approximately 2 character times after the RX FIFO

level has reached the RX trigger level, irrespective of which trigger table is used (Trigger Tables A-D). The

XON1/XON2 characters are transmitted when the RX FIFO level falls below the next lower trigger level for

Trigger Tables A-C and they are transmitted when the RX FIFO level falls below the (RX trigger level -

hysteresis level) for Trigger Table D. For example, if Trigger Table D is used with an RX trigger level of 56 and

a hysteresis level of 16, the XON1/XON2 characters are sent when the RX FIFO level count falls below 40.

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 the industry standard 16550 (default).

• Logic 1 = Enables the enhanced functions. When this bit is set to a logic 1 all enhanced features are

enabled.

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 received 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 for 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.

advantage of the FIFO level byte counter for faster data loading to the transmit FIFO, which reduces CPU

bandwidth requirements. Please see the Application Note DAN119 on Exar’s website for a detailed discussion

of FIFO level counters. Due to the dynamic nature of the FIFO counters, this register should be read until the

same value is returned twice.

5.8.16 TXTRG [7:0]: Transmit FIFO Trigger Level - Write-Only

An 8-bit value written to this register sets the TX FIFO trigger level from 0x00 (zero) to 0x40 (64). The TX FIFO

trigger level generates an interrupt whenever the data level in the transmit FIFO falls below this preset trigger

level.

5.8.17 RXCNT[7:0]: Receive FIFO Level Counter - Read-Only

Receive FIFO level byte count from 0x00 (zero) to 0x40 (64). It gives an indication of the number of characters

in the receive FIFO. The FIFO level byte count register is read only. The user can take advantage of the FIFO

level byte counter for faster data unloading from the receiver FIFO, which reduces CPU bandwidth

requirements. Please see the Application Note DAN119 on Exar’s website for a detailed discussion of FIFO

level counters. Due to the dynamic nature of the FIFO counters, this register should be read until the same

value is returned twice.

5.8.18 RXTRG[7:0]: Receive FIFO Trigger Level - Write-Only

An 8-bit value written to this register, sets the RX FIFO trigger level from 0x00 (zero) to 0x40 (64). The RX

FIFO trigger level generates an interrupt whenever the receive FIFO level rises to this preset trigger level.

6.0 PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES

6.1 UNLOADING RECEIVE DATA USING THE SPECIAL RECEIVE FIFO DATA WITH STATUS

It is suggested that before starting to read the Special Receive FIFO Data with Status to unload data from any

UART channel (address 0x180 for channel 0), do a dummy read to the Device ID (DVID) register in the Config-

uration Register of the device. The Special Receive FIFO Data with Status register can then be read multiple

times subsequently without any byte-swapping problem as long as no other register (except the Device ID reg-

ister) is accessed in between data unload. If you must read or write to another register, make that dummy read

to the DVID register again and continue with data unloading.

A step by step procedure describing the sequence for a target channel is shown below. From the receive data

service routine:

•

Do a dummy read to Device ID (DVID) register. Address 0x8D in BYTE alignment or address 0x8C in DWORD

alignment.

•

Read the data byte and its associated error status from ‘Special Receive FIFO Data with Status’ register of the target

channel until done or empty when one of the LSR status byte bit-0=0.

NOTE: If you must do other Read/Write operations to other register(s) during data unloading, repeat steps 1 &

2 to continue unloading data plus status from the ‘Special Receive FIFO Data with Status’ register of the target

channel.

Some Examples of using the Special Receive FIFO Data with Status:

EXAMPLE I: POLLING

.....................

Read LSR

Read DVID

Read Special Receive FIFO Data with Status (address 0x180 for channel 0, etc)

Read Special Receive FIFO Data with Status (address 0x180 for channel 0, etc)*

Read Special Receive FIFO Data with Status (address 0x180 for channel 0, etc)

....................

EXAMPLE 2: INTERRUPT SERVICE USING INTERRUPT INFORMATION IN DEVICE CONFIGURATION REGISTER SET

.....................

Read Global Interrupt Register INT0 (address 0x080)

Read INT1 through INT3 registers to identify interrupting channel (address 0x081 through 0x083)

Read DVID

Read Special Receive FIFO Data with Status (address 0x180 for channel 0, etc)

Read Special Receive FIFO Data with Status (address 0x180 for channel 0, etc)*

Read Special Receive FIFO Data with Status (address 0x180 for channel 0, etc)

................

EXAMPLE 3: INTERRUPT SERVICE USING INTERRUPT INFORMATION IN INDIVIDUAL CHANNEL’S REGISTERS

................

Read Global Interrupt Register INT0 (address 0x080)

Read ISR register of interrupting channel

Read DVID

Read Special Receive FIFO Data with Status (address 0x180 for channel 0, etc)

Read Special Receive FIFO Data with Status (address 0x180 for channel 0, etc)*

Read Special Receive FIFO Data with Status (address 0x180 for channel 0, etc)

................

* In case some other registers need to be accessed in between ‘Special Receive FIFO Data with Status’ reads,

a ‘Read DVID’ instruction has to be inserted before resuming ‘Special Receive FIFO Data with Status’ read

operation.
