1. General description  
The SC16C850SV is a 1.8 V, low power single channel Universal Asynchronous Receiver  
and Transmitter (UART) used for serial data communications. Its principal function is to  
convert parallel data into serial data and vice versa. The UART can handle serial data  
rates up to 20 Mbit/s (4× sampling rate). SC16C850SV can be programmed to operate in  
extended mode where additional advanced UART features are available (see  
Section 6.2).The SC16C850SV family UART provides enhanced UART functions with  
128-byte FIFOs, modem control interface and IrDA encoder/decoder. On-board status  
registers provide the user with error indications and operational status. System interrupts  
and modem control features may be tailored by software to meet specific user  
requirements. An internal loopback capability allows on-board diagnostics. Independent  
programmable baud rate generators are provided to select transmit and receive baud  
rates.  
The SC16C850SV with Intel XScale processor VLIO interface operates at 1.8 V and is  
available in the HVQFN32 package.

Single UART with 128-byte FIFOs, IrDA, and XScale VLIO bus interface  
6. Functional description  
The SC16C850SV provides serial asynchronous receive data synchronization,  
parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel data conversions for both the transmitter and  
receiver sections. These functions are necessary for converting the serial data stream into  
parallel data that is required with digital data systems. Synchronization for the serial data  
stream is accomplished by adding start and stop bits to the transmit data to form a data  
character (character orientated protocol). Data integrity is ensured by attaching a parity bit  
to the data character. The parity bit is checked by the receiver for any transmission bit  
errors. The electronic circuitry to provide all these functions is fairly complex, especially  
when manufactured on a single integrated silicon chip. The SC16C850SV represents  
such an integration with greatly enhanced features. The SC16C850SV is fabricated with  
an advanced CMOS process.  
The SC16C850SV is an upward solution to the SC16C650B with a VLIO interface that  
provides a single UART capability with 128 bytes of transmit and receive FIFO memory,  
instead of 32 bytes for the SC16C650B. The SC16C850SV is designed to work with high  
speed modems and shared network environments that require fast data processing time.  
Increased performance is realized in the SC16C850SV by the transmit and receive FIFOs.  
This allows the external processor to handle more networking tasks within a given time. In  
addition, the four selectable receive and transmit FIFO trigger interrupt levels are provided  
in normal mode, or 128 programmable levels are provided in extended mode for maximum  
data throughput performance especially when operating in a multi-channel environment  
(see Section 6.2 “Extended mode (128-byte FIFO)”). The FIFO memory greatly reduces  
the bandwidth requirement of the external controlling CPU, and increases performance.  
A low power pin (LOWPWR) is provided to further reduce power consumption by isolating  
the host interface bus.  
The SC16C850SV is capable of operation up to 20 Mbit/s with an external 80 MHz clock.  
With a 24 MHz crystal, the SC16C850SV is capable of operation up to 6 Mbit/s.  
The rich feature set of the SC16C850SV is available through internal registers. These  
features are: selectable and programmable receive and transmit FIFO trigger levels,  
selectable TX and RX baud rates, and modem interface controls (all standard features).  
Following a power-on reset an external reset or a software reset, the SC16C850SV is  
software compatible with the previous generation SC16C650B.  
6.1 UART selection  
The UART provides the user with the capability to bidirectionally transfer information  
between a CPU and an external serial device. The CS pin together with addresses A6 and  
A7 determine if the UART is being accessed; see Table 3.

6.4 FIFO operation  
6.4.1 32-byte FIFO mode  
When all four of these registers (TXINTLVL, RXINTLVL, FLWCNTH, FLWCNTL) in the  
First Extra Register Set are empty (0x00) the transmit and receive trigger levels are set by  
FCR[7:4]. In this mode the transmit and receive trigger levels are backward compatible to  
the SC16C650B (see Table 5), and the FIFO sizes are 32 entries. The transmit and  
receive data FIFOs are enabled by the FIFO Control Register bit 0 (FCR[0]). It should be  
noted that the user can set the transmit trigger levels by writing to the FCR, but activation  
will not take place until EFR[4] is set to a logic 1. The receiver FIFO section includes a  
time-out function to ensure data is delivered to the external CPU (see Section 6.8). Please  
refer to Table 10 and Table 11 for the setting of FCR[7:4].

6.4.2 128-byte FIFO mode  
When either TXINTLVL, RXINTLVL, FLWCNTH or FLWCNTL in the First Extra Register  
Set contains any value other than 0x00, the transmit and receive trigger levels are set by  
TXINTLVL and RXINTLVL registers. TXINTLVL sets the trigger levels for the transmit  
FIFO, and the transmit trigger levels can be set to any value between 1 and 128 with  
granularity of 1. RXINTLVL sets the trigger levels for the receive FIFO, the receive trigger  
levels can be set to any value between 1 and 128 with granularity of 1.  
When the effective FIFO size changes (that is, when FCR[0] toggles or when the  
combined content of TXINTLVL, RXINTLVL, FLWCNTH and FLWCNTL changes between  
equal and unequal to 0x00), both RX FIFO and TX FIFO will be reset (data in the FIFO will  
be lost).  
6.5 Hardware flow control  
When automatic hardware flow control is enabled, the SC16C850SV monitors the CTS  
pin for a remote buffer overflow indication and controls the RTS pin for local buffer  
overflows. Automatic hardware flow control is selected by setting EFR[6] (RTS) and  
EFR[7] (CTS) to a logic 1. If CTS transitions from a logic 0 to a logic 1 indicating a flow  
control request, ISR[5] will be set to a logic 1 (if enabled via IER[7:6]), and the  
SC16C850SV 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 to a logic 0,  
indicating more data may be sent.

SC16C850SV  
NXP Semiconductors  
Single UART with 128-byte FIFOs, IrDA, and XScale VLIO bus interface  
When AFCR1[2] is set to 1, then the function of CTS pin is mapped to the DSR pin, and  
the function of RTS is mapped to DTR pin. DSR and DTR pins will behave as described  
above for CTS and RTS.  
With the automatic hardware flow control function enabled, an interrupt is generated when  
the receive FIFO reaches the programmed trigger level. The RTS (or DTR) pin will not be  
forced to a logic 1 (RTS off) until the receive FIFO reaches the next trigger level. However,  
the RTS (or DTR) pin will return to a logic 0 after the receive buffer (FIFO) is unloaded to  
the next trigger level below the programmed trigger level. Under the above described  
conditions, the SC16C850SV will continue to accept data until the receive FIFO is full.  
When TXINTLVL, RXINTLVL, FLWCNTH and FLWCNTL in the First Extra Register Set  
are all zeroes, the hardware and software flow control trigger levels are set by FCR[7:4];  
see Table 5.  
When either TXINTLVL, RXINTLVL, FLWCNTH or FLWCNTL in the First Extra Register  
Set contains any value other than 0x00, the hardware and software flow control trigger  
levels are set by FLWCNTH and FLWCNTL. The content in FLWCNTH determines how  
many bytes are in the receive FIFO before RTS (or DTR) is de-asserted or Xoff is sent.  
The content of FLWCNTL determines how many bytes are in the receive FIFO before RTS  
(or DTR) is asserted, or Xon is sent.  
In 128-byte FIFO mode, hardware and software flow control trigger levels can be set to  
any value between 1 and 128 in granularity of 1. The value of FLWCNTH should always  
be greater than FLWCNTL. The UART does not check for this condition automatically, and  
if this condition is not met spurious operation of the device might occur. When using  
FLWCNTH and FWLCNTL, these registers must be initialized to the proper values before  
hardware or software flow control is enabled via the EFR register.  
6.6 Software flow control  
When software flow control is enabled, the SC16C850SV compares one or two  
sequentially received data characters with the programmed Xon or Xoff character  
value(s). If the received character(s) match the programmed Xoff values, the  
SC16C850SV will halt transmission (TX) as soon as the current character(s) has  
completed transmission. When a match occurs, ISR bit 4 will be set (if enabled via IER[5])  
and the interrupt output pin (if receive interrupt is enabled) will be activated. Following a  
suspension due to a match of the Xoff characters’ values, the SC16C850SV will monitor  
the receive data stream for a match to the Xon1/Xon2 character value(s). If a match is  
found, the SC16C850SV will resume operation and clear the flags (ISR[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 and suspend/resume  
transmissions (see Table 24). When double 8-bit Xon/Xoff characters are selected, the  
SC16C850SV 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 receive FIFO. When using software flow control, the Xon/Xoff  
characters cannot be used for data transfer.

Single UART with 128-byte FIFOs, IrDA, and XScale VLIO bus interface  
In the event that the receive buffer is overfilling, the SC16C850SV automatically sends an  
Xoff character (when enabled) via the serial TX output to the remote UART. The  
SC16C850SV sends the Xoff1/Xoff2 characters as soon as the number of received data  
in the receive FIFO passes the programmed trigger level. To clear this condition, the  
SC16C850SV will transmit the programmed Xon1/Xon2 characters as soon as the  
number of characters in the receive FIFO drops below the programmed trigger level.  
6.7 Special character detect  
A special character detect feature is provided to detect an 8-bit character when EFR[5] is  
set. When an 8-bit character is detected, it will be placed on the user-accessible data  
stack along with normal incoming RX data. This condition is selected in conjunction with  
EFR[3:0] (see Table 24). Note that software flow control should be turned off when using  
this special mode by setting EFR[3:0] to all zeroes.  
The SC16C850SV compares each incoming receive character with Xoff2 data. If a match  
occurs, the received data will be transferred to the FIFO, and ISR[4] will be set to indicate  
detection of a special character. Although Table 7 “SC16C850SV internal registers” shows  
Xon1, Xon2, Xoff1, Xoff2 with eight bits of character information, the actual number of bits  
is dependent on the programmed word length. Line Control Register bits LCR[1:0] define  
the number of character bits, that is, either 5 bits, 6 bits, 7 bits or 8 bits. The word length  
selected by LCR[1:0] also determine the number of bits that will be used for the special  
character comparison. Bit 0 in the Xon1, Xon2, Xoff1, Xoff2 registers corresponds with the  
LSB bit for the received character.  
6.8 Interrupt priority and time-out interrupts  
The interrupts are enabled by IER[7:0]. Care must be taken when handling these  
interrupts. Following a reset, if Interrupt Enable Register (IER) bit 1 = 1, the SC16C850SV  
will issue a Transmit Holding Register interrupt. This interrupt must be serviced prior to  
continuing operations. The ISR indicates the current singular highest priority interrupt  
only. A condition can exist where a higher priority interrupt masks the lower priority  
interrupt(s) (see Table 12). Only after servicing the higher pending interrupt will the lower  
priority interrupt(s) be reflected in the status register. Servicing the interrupt without  
investigating further interrupt conditions can result in data errors.  
Receive Data Ready and Receive Time Out have the same interrupt priority (when  
enabled by IER[0]), and it is important to serve these interrupts correctly. The receiver  
issues an interrupt after the number of characters have reached the programmed trigger  
level. In this case, the SC16C850SV FIFO may hold more characters than the  
programmed trigger level. Following the removal of a data byte, the user should re-check  
LSR[0] to see if there are any additional characters. A Receive Time Out will not occur if  
the receive FIFO is empty. The time-out counter is reset at the center of each stop bit  
received or each time the Receive Holding Register (RHR) is read. The actual time-out  
value is 4 character time, including data information length, start bit, parity bit, and the  
size of stop bit, that is, 1×, 1.5×, or 2× bit times.

6.9 Programmable baud rate generator  
The SC16C850SV UART contains a programmable rational baud rate generator that  
takes any clock input and divides it by a divisor in the range between 1 and (216 1). The  
SC16C850SV offers the capability of dividing the input frequency by rational divisor. The  
fractional part of the divisor is controlled by the CLKPRES register in the First Extra  
Register Set.

M is the fractional part of the divisor in CLKPRES register;  
fXTAL1 is the clock frequency at XTAL1 pin;  
SAMPR is the sampling rate in SAMPR register (16×, 8×, 4×); M / SAMPR should  
always be less than 1.

A single baud rate generator is provided for the transmitter and receiver. The  
programmable Baud Rate Generator is capable of operating with a frequency of up to  
80 MHz. To obtain maximum data rate, it is necessary to use full rail swing on the clock  
input. The SC16C850SV can be configured for internal or external clock operation. For  
internal clock operation, an industry standard crystal is connected externally between the  
XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins (see Figure 4). Alternatively, an external clock can be connected  
to the XTAL1 pin (see Figure 5) to clock the internal baud rate generator for standard or  
custom rates (see Table 6).  
The generator divides the input 16× clock by any divisor from 1 to (216 1). The  
SC16C850SV divides the basic external clock by 16. The baud rate is configured via the  
CLKPRES, DLL and DLM internal register functions. Customized baud rates can be  
achieved by selecting the proper divisor values for the MSB and LSB sections of baud rate  
generator. However, the user can also select 8×, 4× sampling rate to operate at four times,  
or two times faster than the 16× sampling rate (see Section 7.20 “Sampling rate  
(SAMPR)”).

6.10 Loopback mode  
The internal loopback capability allows on-board diagnostics. In the Loopback mode, the  
normal modem interface pins are disconnected and reconfigured for loopback internally  
(see Figure 6). MCR[3:0] register bits are used for controlling loopback diagnostic testing.  
In the Loopback mode, the transmitter output (TX) and the receiver input (RX) are  
disconnected from their associated interface pins, and instead are connected together  
internally. The CTS, DSR, CD, and RI are disconnected from their normal modem control  
inputs pins, and instead are connected internally to RTS, DTR, MCR[3] (OP2) and  
MCR[2] (OP1). Loopback test data is entered into the transmit holding register via the  
user data bus interface, AD[7:0]. The transmit UART serializes the data and passes the  
serial data to the receive UART via the internal loopback connection. The receive UART  
converts the serial data back into parallel data that is then made available at the user data  
interface AD[7:0]. The user optionally compares the received data to the initial transmitted  
data for verifying error-free operation of the UART TX/RX circuits.  
In this mode, the receiver and transmitter interrupts are fully operational. The modem  
control interrupts are also operational.

Single UART with 128-byte FIFOs, IrDA, and XScale VLIO bus interface  
6.11 Sleep mode  
Sleep mode is an enhanced feature of the SC16C850SV UART. It is enabled when  
EFR[4], the enhanced functions bit, is set and when IER[4] bit is also set.  
6.11.1 Conditions to enter Sleep mode  
Sleep mode is entered when:  
Modem input pins are not toggling.  
The serial data input line, RX, is idle for 4 character time (logic HIGH) and AFCR1[4]  
is 0. When AFCR1[4] is 1, the device will go to sleep regardless of the state of the RX  
pin (see Section 7.22 for the description of AFCR1 bit 4).  
The TX FIFO and TX shift register are empty.  
There are no interrupts pending.  
The RX FIFO is empty.  
In Sleep mode, the UART clock and baud rate clock are stopped. Since most registers are  
clocked using these clocks, the power consumption is greatly reduced.  
Remark: Writing to the divisor latches, DLL and DLM, to set the baud clock, must not be  
done during Sleep mode. Therefore, it is advisable to disable Sleep mode using IER[4]  
before writing to DLL or DLM.  
6.11.2 Conditions to resume normal operation  
SC16C850SV resumes normal operation by any of the following:  
Receives a start bit on RX pin.  
Data is loaded into transmit FIFO.  
A change of state on any of the modem input pins.  
If the device is awakened by one of the conditions described above, it will return to the  
Sleep mode automatically after all the conditions described in Section 6.11.1 are met. The  
device will stay in Sleep mode until it is disabled by setting any channel’s IER bit 4 to a  
logic 0.  
When the SC16C850SV is in Sleep mode and the host interface bus (AD7 to AD0, IOW,  
IOR, CS) remains in steady state, either HIGH or LOW, the sleep current will be in the  
microampere range as specified in Table 37 “Static characteristics”. If any of these signals  
is toggling or floating then the sleep current will be higher.  
6.12 Low power feature  
A low power feature is provided by the SC16C850SV to prevent the switching of the host  
data bus from influencing the sleep current. When the pin LOWPWR is activated (logic  
HIGH), the device immediately and unconditionally goes into Low Power mode. All clocks  
are stopped and most host interface pins are isolated to reduce power consumption. The  
device only returns to normal mode when the LOWPWR pin is de-asserted. The pin can  
be left unconnected because it has an internal pull-down resistor.

6.13 RS-485 Features  
6.13.1 Auto RS-485 RTS control  
Normally the RTS pin is controlled by MCR bit 1, or if hardware flow control is enabled, the  
logic state of the RTS pin is controlled by the hardware flow control circuitry. EFCR2  
register bit 4 will take the precedence over the other two modes; once this bit is set, the  
transmitter will control the state of the RTS pin. The transmitter automatically asserts the  
RTS pin (logic 0) once the host writes data to the transmit FIFO, and de-asserts the RTS  
pin (logic 1) once the last bit of the data has been transmitted.  
To use the auto RS-485 RTS mode, the software would have to disable the hardware flow  
control function.  
6.13.2 RS-485 RTS inversion  
EFCR2 bit 5 reverses the polarity of the RTS pin if the UART is in auto RS-485 RTS mode.  
When the transmitter has data to be sent, it will de-assert the RTS pin (logic 1), and when  
the last bit of the data has been sent out, the transmitter asserts the RTS pin (logic 0).  
6.13.3 Auto 9-bit mode (RS-485)  
EFCR2 bit 0 is used to enable the 9-bit mode (Multi-drop or RS-485 mode). In this mode  
of operation, a ‘master’ station transmits an address character followed by data characters  
for the addressed ‘slave’ stations. The slave stations examine the received data and  
interrupt the controller if the received character is an address character (parity bit = 1).  
To use the auto 9-bit mode the software would have to disable the hardware and software  
flow control functions.  
6.13.3.1 Normal Multi-drop mode  
The 9-bit Mode in EFCR (bit 0) is enabled, but not Special Character Detect (EFR bit 5).  
The receiver is set to Force Parity 0 (LCR[5:3] = 111) in order to detect address bytes.  
With the receiver initially disabled, it ignores all the data bytes (parity bit = 0) until an  
address byte is received (parity bit = 1). This address byte will cause the UART to set the  
parity error. The UART will generate a line status interrupt (IER bit 2 must be set to ‘1’ at  
this time), and at the same time puts this address byte in the RX FIFO. After the controller  
examines the byte it must make a decision whether or not to enable the receiver; it should  
enable the receiver if the address byte addresses its ID address, and must not enable the  
receiver if the address byte does not address its ID address.  
If the controller enables the receiver, the receiver will receive the subsequent data until  
being disabled by the controller after the controller has received a complete message from  
the ‘master’ station. If the controller does not disable the receiver after receiving a  
message from the ‘master’ station, the receiver will generate a parity error upon receiving  
another address byte. The controller then determines if the address byte addresses its ID  
address, if it is not, the controller then can disable the receiver. If the address byte  
addresses the ‘slave’ ID address, the controller take no further action, the receiver will  
receive the subsequent data.

6.13.3.2 Auto address detection  
If Special Character Detect is enabled (EFR[5] is set and the Xoff2 register contains the  
address byte), the receiver will try to detect an address byte that matches the  
programmed character in the Xoff2 register. If the received byte is a data byte or an  
address byte that does not match the programmed character in the Xoff2 register, the  
receiver will discard these data. Upon receiving an address byte that matches the Xoff2  
character, the receiver will be automatically enabled if not already enabled, and the  
address character is pushed into the RX FIFO along with the parity bit (in place of the  
parity error bit). The receiver also generates a line status interrupt (IER[2] must be set to  
logic 1 at this time). The receiver will then receive the subsequent data from the ‘master’  
station until being disabled by the controller after having received a message from the  
‘master’ station.  
If another address byte is received and this address byte does not match Xoff2 character,  
the receiver will be automatically disabled and the address byte is ignored. If the address  
byte matches Xoff2 character, the receiver will put this byte in the RX FIFO along with the  
parity bit in the parity error bit (LSR bit 2).

7.1 Transmit and Receive Holding Registers (THR and RHR)  
The serial transmitter section consists of an 8-bit Transmit Holding Register (THR) and  
Transmit Shift Register (TSR). The status of the THR is provided in the Line Status  
Register (LSR). Writing to the THR transfers the contents of the data bus (AD7 to AD0) to  
the transmit FIFO. The THR empty flag in the LSR will be set to a logic 1 when the  
transmit FIFO is empty or when data is transferred to the TSR.  
The serial receive section also contains an 8-bit Receive Holding Register (RHR) and a  
Receive Serial Shift Register (RSR). Receive data is removed from the SC16C850SV  
receive FIFO by reading the RHR. The receive section provides a mechanism to prevent  
false starts. On the falling edge of a start or false start bit, an internal receiver counter  
starts counting clocks at the sampling rate. After SAMPR2 clocks (SAMPR is the sampling  
rate of 16×, 8×, or 4×), the start bit time should be shifted to 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. Receiver status  
codes will be posted in the LSR.  
7.2 Interrupt Enable Register (IER)  
The Interrupt Enable Register (IER) masks the interrupts from receiver ready, transmitter  
empty, line status and modem status registers. These interrupts would normally be seen  
on the INT output pin.

when the RHR has data, or is cleared when the RHR is empty. In the FIFO mode,  
this interrupt will be issued when the FIFO has reached the programmed trigger  
level or is cleared when the FIFO drops below the trigger level.  
logic 0 = disable the receiver ready (ISR level 2, RXRDY) interrupt (normal  
default condition)  
logic 1 = enable the RXRDY (ISR level 2) interrupt  
7.2.1 IER versus transmit/receive FIFO interrupt mode operation  
When the receive FIFO is enabled (FCR[0] = logic 1), and receive interrupts  
(IER[0] = logic 1) are enabled, the receive interrupts and register status will reflect the  
following:  
The receive RXRDY interrupt (Level 2 ISR interrupt) is issued to the external CPU  
when the receive FIFO has reached the programmed trigger level. It will be cleared  
when the receive FIFO drops below the programmed trigger level.  
Receive FIFO status will also be reflected in the user accessible ISR register when  
the receive FIFO trigger level is reached. Both the ISR register receive status bit and  
the interrupt will be cleared when the FIFO drops below the trigger level.  
The receive data ready bit (LSR[0]) is set as soon as a character is transferred from  
the shift register (RSR) to the receive FIFO. It is reset when the FIFO is empty.  
When the Transmit FIFO and interrupts are enabled, an interrupt is generated when  
the transmit FIFO is empty due to the unloading of the data by the TSR and UART for  
transmission via the transmission media. The interrupt is cleared either by reading the  
ISR, or by loading the THR with new data characters.  
7.2.2 IER versus receive/transmit FIFO polled mode operation  
When FCR[0] = logic 1, setting IER[3:0] = zeroes puts the SC16C850SV in the FIFO  
polled mode of operation. In this mode, interrupts are not generated and the user must  
poll the LSR register for TX and/or RX data status. 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).  
LSR[0] will be a logic 1 as long as there is one byte in the receive FIFO.  
LSR[4:1] will provide the type of receive errors, or a receive break, if encountered.  
LSR[5] will indicate when the transmit FIFO is empty.  
LSR[6] will indicate when both the transmit FIFO and transmit shift register are empty.  
LSR[7] will show if any FIFO data errors occurred.

7.4 Interrupt Status Register (ISR)  
The SC16C850SV provides six 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 provide the user with the  
highest pending interrupt level to be serviced. No other interrupts are acknowledged until  
the pending interrupt is serviced. A lower level interrupt may be seen after servicing the  
higher level interrupt and re-reading the interrupt status bits. Table 12 “Interrupt source”  
shows the data values (bits 5:0) for the six prioritized interrupt levels and the interrupt  
sources associated with each of these interrupt levels.

character. In the FIFO mode, this bit is set to logic 1 whenever the transmit FIFO  
and transmit shift register are both empty.  
THR empty. This bit is the Transmit Holding Register Empty indicator. This bit  
indicates that the UART is ready to accept a new character for transmission. In  
addition, this bit causes the UART to issue an interrupt to CPU when the THR  
interrupt enable is set. The THR bit is set to a logic 1 when a character is  
transferred from the transmit holding register into the transmitter shift register. The  
bit is reset to a logic 0 concurrently with the loading of the transmitter holding  
register by the CPU. In the FIFO mode, this bit is set when the transmit FIFO is  
empty; it is cleared when at least 1 byte is written to the transmit FIFO.

Parity error.  
logic 0 = no parity error (normal default condition  
logic 1 = parity error. The receive character does not have correct parity  
information and is suspect. In the FIFO mode, this error is associated with the  
character at the top of the FIFO.

Overrun error.  
logic 0 = no overrun error (normal default condition)  
logic 1 = overrun error. A data overrun error occurred in the Receive Shift  
Register. This happens when additional data arrives while the FIFO is full. In  
this case, the previous data in the shift register is overwritten. Note that under  
this condition, the data byte in the Receive Shift Register is not transferred into  
the FIFO, therefore the data in the FIFO is not corrupted by the error.

7.14 Enhanced Feature Register (EFR)  
Enhanced features are enabled or disabled using this register.  
Bit 0 through bit 4 provide single or dual character software flow control selection. When  
the Xon1 and Xon2 and/or Xoff1 and Xoff2 modes are selected, the double 8-bit words  
are concatenated into two sequential numbers.

EFR[7]  
Automatic CTS flow control.  
logic 0 = automatic CTS flow control is disabled (normal default condition)  
logic 1 = enable automatic CTS flow control. Transmission will stop when  
CTS goes to a logical 1. Transmission will resume when the CTS signal  
returns to a logical 0.  
6
EFR[6]  
Automatic RTS flow control. Automatic RTS may be used for hardware flow  
control by enabling EFR[6]. When Auto-RTS is selected, an interrupt will be  
generated when the receive FIFO is filled to the programmed trigger level and  
RTS will go to a logic 1 at the next trigger level. RTS will return to a logic 0 when  
data is unloaded below the next lower trigger level (programmed trigger level 1).  
The state of this register bit changes with the status of the hardware flow  
control. RTS functions normally when hardware flow control is disabled.  
logic 0 = automatic RTS flow control is disabled (normal default condition)  
logic 1 = enable automatic RTS flow control  
5
EFR[5]  
Special Character Detect.  
logic 0 = special character detect disabled (normal default condition)  
logic 1 = special character detect enabled. The SC16C850SV compares each  
incoming receive character with Xoff2 data. If a match exists, the received  
data will be transferred to FIFO and ISR[4] will be set to indicate detection of  
special character. Bit-0 in the X-registers corresponds with the LSB bit for the  
receive character. When this feature is enabled, the normal software flow  
control must be disabled (EFR[3:0] must be set to a logic 0).  
4
EFR[4]  
Enhanced function control bit. The content of IER[7:4], ISR[5:4], FCR[5:4], and  
MCR[7:5] can be modified and latched. After modifying any bits in the enhanced  
registers, EFR[4] can be set to a logic 0 to latch the new values. This feature  
prevents existing software from altering or overwriting the SC16C850SV  
enhanced functions.  
logic 0 = disable/latch enhanced features[1]  
logic 1 = enables the enhanced functions[1]. When this bit is set to a logic 1,  
all enhanced features of the SC16C850SV are enabled and user settings  
stored during a reset will be restored.  
3:0  
EFR[3:0] Cont-3:0 Tx, Rx control. Logic 0 or cleared is the default condition.  
Combinations of software flow control can be selected by programming these  
bits. See Table 24.

12. Soldering of SMD packages  
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account  
of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 “Surface mount reflow  
soldering description”.  
12.1 Introduction to soldering  
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to  
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both  
the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is  
ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and  
Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not  
suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high  
densities that come with increased miniaturization.  
12.2 Wave and reflow soldering  
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from  
a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:  
Through-hole components  
Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board  
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless  
packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,  
leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,  
due to an increased probability of bridging.  
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by  
component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages,  
packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable.  
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:  
Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias  
Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation  
The moisture sensitivity level of the packages  
Package placement  
Inspection and repair  
Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering  
12.3 Wave soldering  
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:  
Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board  
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are  
exposed to the wave  
Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities

12.4 Reflow soldering  
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:  
Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to  
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 16) than a SnPb process, thus  
reducing the process window  
Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process  
window for a mix of large and small components on one board  
Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is  
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak  
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste  
characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the  
packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package  
depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with  
Table 39 and 40

Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all  
times.  
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow  
soldering, see Figure 16.
