Product data sheet
1. General description
The SC16C852SV is a 1.8 V, low power dual 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). SC16C852SV can be programmed to operate in
extended mode where additional advanced UART features are available (see
Section 6.2). The SC16C852SV 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 SC16C852SV with Intel XScale processor VLIO interface operates at 1.8 V and is
available in the TFBGA36 package.

LOWPWR signal, the device is automatically reset and all registers
return to their default reset states. This pin has an internal pull-down
resistor, therefore, it can be left unconnected.

NXP Semiconductors
Dual UART with 128-byte FIFOs, IrDA, and XScale VLIO bus interface
6. Functional description
The SC16C852SV 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 SC16C852SV represents
such an integration with greatly enhanced features. The SC16C852SV is fabricated with
an advanced CMOS process.
The SC16C852SV is an upward solution to the SC16C652B with a VLIO interface that
provides a dual UART capability with 128 bytes of transmit and receive FIFO memory,
instead of 32 bytes for the SC16C652B. The SC16C852SV is designed to work with high
speed modems and shared network environments that require fast data processing time.
Increased performance is realized in the SC16C852SV 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 SC16C852SV is capable of operation up to 20 Mbit/s with an external 80 MHz clock.
With a 24 MHz crystal it is capable of operation up to 6 Mbit/s.
The rich feature set of the SC16C852SV 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 SC16C852SV is
software compatible with the previous generation SC16C652B.
6.1 UART A-B functions
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 which channel of 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 SC16C652B (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 SC16C852SV monitors the CTSx
pin for a remote buffer overflow indication and controls the RTSx 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 CTSx 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
SC16C852SV_1

SC16C852SV
NXP Semiconductors
Dual UART with 128-byte FIFOs, IrDA, and XScale VLIO bus interface
SC16C852SV will suspend TX transmissions as soon as the stop bit of the character in
process is shifted out. Transmission is resumed after the CTSx input returns to a logic 0,
indicating more data may be sent.
When AFCR1[2] is set to 1, then the function of CTSx pin is mapped to the DSRx pin, and
the function of RTS is mapped to DTRx pin. DSRx and DTRx pins will behave as
described above for CTSx and RTSx.
With the automatic hardware flow control function enabled, an interrupt is generated when
the receive FIFO reaches the programmed trigger level. The RTSx (or DTRx) pin will not
be forced to a logic 1 (RTS off) until the receive FIFO reaches the next trigger level.
However, the RTSx (or DTRx) 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 SC16C852SV 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 RTSx (or DTRx) is de-asserted or XOFF is
sent. The content of FLWCNTL determines how many bytes are in the receive FIFO
before RTSx (or DTRx) 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 SC16C852SV 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
SC16C852SV 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 SC16C852SV will monitor
the receive data stream for a match to the Xon1/Xon2 character value(s). If a match is
found, the SC16C852SV 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
SC16C852SV compares two consecutive receive characters with two software flow
control 8-bit values (Xon1, Xon2, Xoff1, Xoff2) and controls TX transmissions accordingly.

SC16C852SV
NXP Semiconductors
Dual UART with 128-byte FIFOs, IrDA, and XScale VLIO bus interface
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.
In the event that the receive buffer is overfilling, the SC16C852SV automatically sends an
Xoff character (when enabled) via the serial TX output to the remote UART. The
SC16C852SV 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
SC16C852SV 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 RXA/RXB 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 SC16C852SV 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 “SC16C852SV internal registers” shows
Xon-1, Xon-2, Xoff-1, Xoff-2 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 Xon-1, Xon-2, Xoff-1, Xoff-2 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 SC16C852SV
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 SC16C852SV 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 SC16C852SV 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
SC16C852SV 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.

where:
N is the integer part of the divisor in DLL and DLM registers;
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×)
Prescaler = 1 when MCR[7] is set to 0.
Prescaler = 4 when MCR[7] is set to 1.

Prescalers and baud rate generator block diagram
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 SC16C852SV 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 5). Alternatively, an external clock can be connected
to the XTAL1 pin (see Figure 6) 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
SC16C852SV 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 the baud
rate generator.

However, the user can also select 4×, 8× sampling rates (see Section 7.20 “Sampling
Rate (SAMPR)”) to operate at four times or two times faster than 16× sampling rate.
Programming the baud rate generator registers CLKPRES, DLM (MSB) and DLL (LSB)
provides a user capability for selecting the desired final baud rate. The example in Table 6
shows the selectable baud rate table available when using a 1.8432 MHz external clock
input with MCR[7] is 0, SAMPR[1:0] = 00b and CLKPRES = 0x00.

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 7). MCR[3:0] register bits are used for controlling loopback diagnostic testing.
In the Loopback mode, the transmitter output (TXA/TXB) and the receiver input
(RXA/RXB) are disconnected from their associated interface pins, and instead are
connected together internally. The CTSx, DSRx, CDx, and RIx are disconnected from
their normal modem control inputs pins, and instead are connected internally to RTS,
DTR, MCR[3] (OP2A/OP2B) and MCR[2] (OP1A/OP1B). Loopback test data is entered
into the transmit holding register via the user data bus interface, D[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 D[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 interrupt pins are 3-stated, therefore the software must use polling
method (see Section 7.2.2) to send and receive data.

6.11 Sleep mode
Sleep mode is an enhanced feature of the SC16C852SV UART. It is enabled when
EFR[4], the enhanced functions bit, is set and when IER[4] of both channels are 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, RXA/RXB, 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 RXA/RXB 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
SC16C852SV resumes normal operation by any of the following:
• Receives a start bit on RXA or RXB 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 SC16C852SV 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 SC16C852SV 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.

NXP Semiconductors
Dual UART with 128-byte FIFOs, IrDA, and XScale VLIO bus interface
6.13 RS-485 features
6.13.1 Auto RS-485 RTS control
Normally the RTSx pin is controlled by MCR bit 1, or if hardware flow control is enabled,
the logic state of the RTSx 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 RTSx pin. The transmitter automatically asserts the
RTSx pin (logic 0) once the host writes data to the transmit FIFO, and de-asserts the
RTSx 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 RTSx pin if the UART is in auto RS-485 RTS
mode.
When the transmitter has data to be sent, it will de-assert the RTSx 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 (THR) and Receive (RHR) Holding Registers
The serial transmitter section consists of an 8-bit Transmit Hold Register (THR) and
Transmit Shift Register (TSR). The status of the THR is provided in the Line Status
Register (LSR). Writing to the THR transfers the contents of the data bus (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 SC16C852SV
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 SAMPR⁄21 clocks, 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 INTA, INTB output pins.

(normal default condition)
logic 1 = enable the TXRDY (ISR level 3) interrupt

IER[0]
Receive Holding Register. In the non-FIFO mode, this interrupt will be issued
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 SC16C852SV 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 SC16C852SV 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.

LSR[6]
THR and TSR empty. This bit is the Transmit Empty indicator. This bit is set to a
logic 1 whenever the transmit holding register and the transmit shift register are
both empty. It is reset to logic 0 whenever either the THR or TSR contains a
data character. In the FIFO mode, this bit is set to logic 1 whenever the transmit
FIFO and transmit shift register are both empty.
5
LSR[5]
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.
4
LSR[4]
Break interrupt.

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.
3
LSR[3]
Framing error.
logic 0 = no framing error (normal default condition)
logic 1 = framing error. The receive character did not have a valid stop bit(s).
In the FIFO mode, this error is associated with the character at the top of the
FIFO.
2
LSR[2]
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.
1
LSR[1]
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.
Table 23.

Bit
Symbol
Description
7
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 SC16C852SV 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 SC16C852SV
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 SC16C852SV are enabled and user settings stored
during a reset will be restored.
3:0
[1]
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

7.21 RS-485 turn-around time delay (RS485TIME)
The value in this register controls the turn-around time of the external line transceiver in
bit time. In automatic 9-bit mode, the RTSA/RTSB or DTRA/DTRB pin is used to control
the direction of the line driver, after the last bit of data has been shifted out of the transmit
shift register the UART will count down the value in this register. When the count value
reaches zero, the UART will assert the RTSA/RTSB or DTRA/DTRB pin (logic 0) to turn
the external RS-485 transceiver around for receiving.

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 17) 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 17.
