FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ST16C654/654D1 (654) is an enhanced quad
Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter
(UART) each with 64 bytes of transmit and receive
FIFOs, transmit and receive FIFO trigger levels,
automatic hardware and software flow control, and
data rates of up to 1.5 Mbps. Each UART has a set of
registers that provide the user with operating status
and control, receiver error indications, and modem
serial interface controls. Selectable interrupt polarity
provides flexibility to meet design requirements. An
internal loopback capability allows onboard
diagnostics. The 654 is available in 64 pin TQFP, 68
pin PLCC and 100 pin QFP packages. The 64 pin
package only offers the 16 mode interface, but the 68
and 100 pin packages offer an additional 68 mode
interface which allows easy integration with Motorola
processors. The ST16C654CQ64 (64 pin) offers
three
state
interrupt
output
while
the
ST16C654DCQ64 provides continuous interrupt
output. The 100 pin package provides additional
FIFO status outputs (TXRDY# and RXRDY# A-D),
separate infrared transmit data outputs (IRTX A-D)
and channel C external clock input (CHCCLK). The
ST16C654/654D is compatible with the industry
standard ST16C454 and ST16C654/554D.

Interrupt Select (active high, input with internal pull-down).
When 16/68# pin is at logic 1 for Intel bus interface, this pin can be
used in conjunction with MCR bit-3 to enable or disable the INT A-D
pins or override MCR bit-3 and enable the interrupt outputs. Interrupt outputs are enabled continuously by making this pin a logic 1.
Making this pin a logic 0 allows MCR bit-3 to enable and disable the
interrupt output pins. In this mode, MCR bit-3 is set to a logic 1 to
enable the continuous output. See MCR bit-3 description for full
detail. This pin must be at logic 0 in the Motorola bus interface
mode. Due to pin limitations on 64 pin packages, this pin is not
available. To cover this limitation, two 64 pin TQFP packages versions are offered. This pin is bonded to VCC internally in the
ST16C654D so the INT outputs operate in the continuous interrupt
mode. This pin is bonded to GND internally in the ST16C654 and
therefore requires setting MCR bit-3 for enabling the interrupt output
pins.

ST16C654/654D
2.97V TO 5.5V QUAD UART WITH 64-BYTE FIFO
REV. 5.0.0
1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
integrates the functions of 4 enhanced 16C550 Universal Asynchrounous Receiver and
Transmitter (UART). Each UART is independently controlled having its own set of device configuration
registers. The configuration registers set is 16550 UART compatible for control, status and data transfer.
Additionally, each UART channel has 64-bytes of transmit and receive FIFOs, automatic RTS/CTS hardware
flow control, automatic Xon/Xoff and special character software flow control, infrared encoder and decoder
(IrDA ver 1.0), programmable baud rate generator with a prescaler of divide by 1 or 4, and data rate up to 1.5
Mbps. The ST16C654 can operate from 2.97 to 5.5 volts. The 654 is fabricated with an advanced CMOS
process.
Enhanced FIFO
The 654 QUART provides a solution that supports 64 bytes of transmit and receive FIFO memory, instead of 16
bytes in the ST16C554, or one byte in the ST16C454. The 654 is designed to work with high performance data
communication systems, that require fast data processing time. Increased performance is realized in the 654
by the larger transmit and receive FIFOs, FIFO trigger level control and automatic flow control mechanism. This
allows the external processor to handle more networking tasks within a given time. For example, the
ST16C554 with a 16 byte FIFO, unloads 16 bytes of receive data in 1.53 ms (This example uses a character
length of 11 bits, including start/stop bits at 115.2Kbps). This means the external CPU will have to service the
receive FIFO at 1.53 ms intervals. However with the 64 byte FIFO in the 654, the data buffer will not require
unloading/loading for 6.1 ms. This increases the service interval giving the external CPU additional time for
other applications and reducing the overall UART interrupt servicing time. In addition, the programmable FIFO
level trigger interrupt and automatic hardware/software flow control is uniquely provided for maximum data
throughput performance especially when operating in a multi-channel system. The combination of the above
greatly reduces the CPU’s bandwidth requirement, increases performance, and reduces power consumption.
Data Rate
The 654 is capable of operation up to 1.5 Mbps at 5V with 16x internal sampling clock rate. The device can
operate at 5V with a crystal oscillator of up to 24 MHz crystal on pins XTAL1 and XTAL2, or external clock
source of 24 MHz on XTAL1 pin. With a typical crystal of 14.7456 MHz and through a software option, the user
can set the prescaler bit for data rates of up to 921.6 kbps.
Enhanced Features
The rich feature set of the 654 is available through the internal registers. Automatic hardware/software flow
control, selectable transmit and receive FIFO trigger levels, selectable baud rates, infrared encoder/decoder
interface, modem interface controls, and a sleep mode are all standard features. MCR bit-5 provides a facility
for turning off (Xon) software flow control with any incoming (RX) character. In the 16 mode INTSEL and MCR
bit-3 can be configured to provide a software controlled or continuous interrupt capability. Due to pin limitations
for the 64 pin 654 this feature is offered by two different TQFP packages. The ST16C654DCV operates in the
continuous interrupt enable mode by internally bonding INTSEL to VCC. The ST16C654CV operates in
conjunction with MCR bit-3 by internally bonding INTSEL to GND.
The ST16C654 offers a clock prescaler select pin to allow system/board designers to preset the default baud
rate table on power up. The CLKSEL pin selects the div-by-1 or div-by-4 prescaler for the baud rate generator.
It can then be overridden following initialization by MCR bit-7.
The 100 pin packages offer several other enhanced features. These features include a CHCCLK clock input,
FSTAT register and separate IrDA TX outputs. The CHCCLK must be connected to the XTAL2 pin for normal
operation or to external MIDI (Music Instrument Digital Interface) oscillator for MIDI applications. A separate
register (FSTAT) is provided for monitoring the real time status of the FIFO signals TXRDY# and RXRDY# for
each of the four UART channels (A-D). This reduces polling time involved in accessing individual channels.
The 100 pin QFP package also offers four separate IrDA (Infrared Data Association Standard) TX outputs for
Infrared applications. These outputs are provided in addition to the standard asynchronous modem data
outputs.

2.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS
2.1
CPU Interface
The CPU interface is 8 data bits wide with 3 address lines and control signals to execute data bus read and
write transactions. The 654 data interface supports the Intel compatible types of CPUs and it is compatible to
the industry standard 16C550 UART. No clock (oscillator nor external clock) is required to operate a data bus
transaction. Each bus cycle is asynchronous using CS# A-D, IOR# and IOW# or CS#, R/W#, A4 and A3 inputs.
All four UART channels share the same data bus for host operations. A typical data bus interconnection for
Intel and Motorola mode is shown in Figure 4.

Device Reset
The RESET input resets the internal registers and the serial interface outputs in both channels to their default
state (see Table 16). An active high pulse of longer than 40 ns duration will be required to activate the reset
function in the device. Following a power-on reset or an external reset, the 654 is software compatible with
previous generation of UARTs, 16C454 and 16C554.

Channels A-D Internal Registers
Each UART channel in the 654 has a set of enhanced registers for control, monitoring and data loading and
unloading. The configuration register set is compatible to those already available in the standard single
16C550. These registers function as data holding registers (THR/RHR), interrupt status and control registers
(ISR/IER), a FIFO control register (FCR), receive line status and control registers (LSR/LCR), modem status
and control registers (MSR/MCR), programmable data rate (clock) divisor registers (DLL/DLM), and a user
accessible scratchpad register (SPR).
Beyond the general 16C550 features and capabilities, the 654 offers enhanced feature registers (EFR, Xon/
Xoff 1, Xon/Xoff 2, FSTAT) that provide automatic RTS and CTS hardware flow control and automatic Xon/Xoff
software flow control. All the register functions are discussed in full detail later in “Section 3.0, UART
INTERNAL REGISTERS” on pag e22.

DMA Mode
The device does not support direct memory access. The DMA Mode (a legacy term) in this document does not
mean “direct memory access” but refers to data block transfer operation. The DMA mode affects the state of
the RXRDY# A-D and TXRDY# A-D output pins. The transmit and receive FIFO trigger levels provide additional
flexibility to the user for block mode operation. The LSR bits 5-6 provide an indication when the transmitter is
empty or has an empty location(s) for more data. The user can optionally operate the transmit and receive
FIFO in the DMA mode (FCR bit-3=1). When the transmit and receive FIFOs are enabled and the DMA mode
is disabled (FCR bit-3 = 0), the 654 is placed in single-character mode for data transmit or receive operation.
When DMA mode is enabled (FCR bit-3 = 1), the user takes advantage of block mode operation by loading or
unloading the FIFO in a block sequence determined by the programmed trigger level. The following table show
their behavior. Also see Figure 20 through 25.

Crystal Oscillator or External Clock Input
The 654 includes an on-chip oscillator (XTAL1 and XTAL2) to produce a clock for both UART sections in the
device. The CPU data bus does not require this clock for bus operation. The crystal oscillator provides a
system clock to the Baud Rate Generators (BRG) section found in each of the UART. XTAL1 is the input to the
oscillator or external clock buffer input with XTAL2 pin being the output. For programming details, see “Section
2.8, Programmable Baud Rate Generator” on page 12

The on-chip oscillator is designed to use an industry standard microprocessor crystal (parallel resonant,
fundamental frequency with 10-22 pF capacitance load, ESR of 20-120 ohms and 100ppm frequency
tolerance) connected externally between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins. Typical oscillator connections are shown
in Figure 5. Alternatively, an external clock can be connected to the XTAL1 pin to clock the internal baud rate
generator for standard or custom rates. For further reading on oscillator circuit please see application note
DAN108 on EXAR’s web site.
2.8
Programmable Baud Rate Generator
Each UART has its own Baud Rate Generator (BRG) with a prescaler. 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 clock output of the prescaler goes to the BRG. The BRG further divides this clock by a
programmable divisor between 1 and (2 16 -1) to obtain a 16X sampling rate clock of the serial data rate. The
sampling rate clock is used by the transmitter for data bit shifting and receiver for data sampling.

Transmitter
The transmitter section comprises of an 8-bit Transmit Shift Register (TSR) and 64 bytes of FIFO which
includes a byte-wide Transmit Holding Register (THR). TSR shifts out every data bit with the 16X internal clock.
A bit time is 16 clock periods. The transmitter sends the start-bit followed by the number of data bits, inserts the
proper parity-bit if enabled, and adds the stop-bit(s). The status of the FIFO and TSR are reported in the Line
Status Register (LSR bit-5 and bit-6).
2.9.1
Transmit Holding Register (THR) - Write Only
The transmit holding register is an 8-bit register providing a data interface to the host processor. The host
writes transmit data byte to the THR to be converted into a serial data stream including start-bit, data bits,
parity-bit and stop-bit(s). The least-significant-bit (Bit-0) becomes first data bit to go out. The THR is the input
register to the transmit FIFO of 64 bytes when FIFO operation is enabled by FCR bit-0. Every time a write
operation is made to the THR, the FIFO data pointer is automatically bumped to the next sequential data
location.

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.

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

Receiver
The receiver section contains an 8-bit Receive Shift Register (RSR) and 64 bytes of FIFO which includes a
byte-wide Receive Holding Register (RHR). The RSR uses the 16X 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 clock rate. After 8 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 2-4. Upon unloading the receive data byte from RHR, the
receive FIFO pointer is bumped and the error tags are immediately updated to reflect the status of the data
byte in RHR register. RHR can generate a receive data ready interrupt upon receiving a character or delay until
it reaches the FIFO trigger level. Furthermore, data delivery to the host is guaranteed by a receive data ready
time-out interrupt when data is not received for 4 word lengths as defined by LCR[1:0] plus 12 bits time. This is
equivalent to 3.7-4.6 character times. The RHR interrupt is enabled by IER bit-0.
2.10.1
Receive Holding Register (RHR) - Read-Only
The Receive Holding Register is an 8-bit register that holds a receive data byte from the Receive Shift Register.
It provides the receive data interface to the host processor. The RHR register is part of the receive FIFO of 64
bytes by 11-bits wide, the 3 extra bits are for the 3 error tags to be reported in LSR register. When the FIFO is
enabled by FCR bit-0, the RHR contains the first data character received by the FIFO. After the RHR is read,
the next character byte is loaded into the RHR and the errors associated with the current data byte are
immediately updated in the LSR bits 2-4.

Auto RTS Hardware Flow Control
Automatic RTS hardware flow control is used to prevent data overrun to the local receiver FIFO. The RTS#
output is used to request remote unit to suspend/resume data transmission. The auto RTS flow control features
is enabled to fit specific application requirement (see Figure 11):
• Enable auto RTS flow control using EFR bit-6.
• The auto RTS function must be started by asserting RTS# output pin (MCR bit-1 to logic 1 after it is enabled).
If needed, the RTS interrupt can be enabled through IER bit-6 (after setting EFR bit-4). The UART issues an
interrupt when the RTS# pin makes a transition from low to high: ISR bit-5 will be set to logic 1.
2.12
Auto CTS Flow Control
Automatic CTS flow control is used to prevent data overrun to the remote receiver FIFO. The CTS# input is
monitored to suspend/restart the local transmitter. The auto CTS flow control feature is selected to fit specific
application requirement (see Figure 11):
• Enable auto CTS flow control using EFR bit-7.
If needed, the CTS interrupt can be enabled through IER bit-7 (after setting EFR bit-4). The UART issues an
interrupt when the CTS# pin is de-asserted (logic 1): ISR bit-5 will be set to 1, and UART will suspend
transmission as soon as the stop bit of the character in process is shifted out. Transmission is resumed after
the CTS# input is re-asserted (logic 0), indicating more data may be sent.

Auto Xon/Xoff (Software) Flow Control
When software flow control is enabled (See Table 15), the 654 compares one or two sequential receive data
characters with the programmed Xon or Xoff-1,2 character value(s). If receive character(s) (RX) match the
programmed values, the 654 will halt transmission (TX) as soon as the current character has completed
transmission. When a match occurs, the Xoff (if enabled via IER bit-5) flag will be set and the interrupt output
pin will be activated. Following a suspension due to a match of the Xoff character, the 654 will monitor the
receive data stream for a match to the Xon-1,2 character. If a match is found, the 654 will resume operation
and clear the flags (ISR bit-4).
Reset initially sets the contents of the Xon/Xoff 8-bit flow control registers to a logic 0. Following reset the user
can write any Xon/Xoff value desired for software flow control. Different conditions can be set to detect Xon/
Xoff characters (See Table 15) and suspend/resume transmissions. When double 8-bit Xon/Xoff characters are
selected, the 654 compares two consecutive receive characters with two software flow control 8-bit values
(Xon1, Xon2, Xoff1, Xoff2) and controls TX transmissions accordingly. Under the above described flow control
mechanisms, flow control characters are not placed (stacked) in the user accessible RX data buffer or FIFO.
In the event that the receive buffer is overfilling and flow control needs to be executed, the 654 automatically
sends an Xoff message (when enabled) via the serial TX output to the remote modem. The 654 sends the Xoff1,2 characters two-character-times (= time taken to send two characters at the programmed baud rate) after
the receive FIFO crosses the programmed trigger level. To clear this condition, the 654 will transmit the
programmed Xon-1,2 characters as soon as receive FIFO is less than one trigger level below the programmed
trigger level. Table 8 below explains this.

Special Character Detect
A special character detect feature is provided to detect an 8-bit character when bit-5 is set in the Enhanced
Feature Register (EFR). When this character (Xoff2) is detected, it will be placed in the FIFO along with normal
incoming RX data.
The 654 compares each incoming receive character with Xoff-2 data. If a match exists, the received data will
be transferred to the RX FIFO and ISR bit-4 will be set to indicate detection of special character. Although the
Internal Register Table shows Xon, Xoff Registers with eight bits of character information, the actual number of
bits is dependent on the programmed word length. Line Control Register (LCR) bits 0-1 defines the number of
character bits, i.e., either 5 bits, 6 bits, 7 bits, or 8 bits. The word length selected by LCR bits 0-1 also
determines the number of bits that will be used for the special character comparison. Bit-0 in the Xon, Xoff
Registers corresponds with the LSB bit for the receive character.

Infrared Mode
The 654 UART includes the infrared encoder and decoder compatible to the IrDA (Infrared Data Association)
version 1.0. The IrDA 1.0 standard that stipulates the infrared encoder sends out a 3/16 of a bit wide HIGHpulse for each “0” bit in the transmit data stream. This signal encoding reduces the on-time of the infrared LED,
hence reduces the power consumption. See Figure 12 below.
The infrared encoder and decoder are enabled by setting MCR register bit-6 to a ‘1’. When the infrared feature
is enabled, the transmit data output, TX, idles at logic zero level. Likewise, the RX input assumes an idle level
of logic zero from a reset and power up, see Figure 12.
Typically, the wireless infrared decoder receives the input pulse from the infrared sensing diode on the RX pin.
Each time it senses a light pulse, it returns a logic 1 to the data bit stream.

Sleep Mode with Auto Wake-Up
The 654 supports low voltage system designs, hence, a sleep mode is included to reduce its power
consumption when the chip is not actively used.
All of these conditions must be satisfied for the 654 to enter sleep mode:
■ no interrupts pending for all four channels of the 654 (ISR bit-0 = 1)
■ sleep mode of both channels are enabled (IER bit-4 = 1)
■ modem inputs are not toggling (MSR bits 0-3 = 0)
■ RX input pins are idling at a logic 1
The 654 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 654 resumes normal operation by any of the following:
■ a receive data start bit transition (logic 1 to 0)
■ 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 654 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 2750 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 654 will stay in the sleep mode of operation until it is disabled by
setting IER bit-4 to a logic 0.
If the address lines, data bus lines, IOW#, IOR#, CSA#, CSB#, CSC#, CSD# and modem input lines remain
steady when the 654 is in sleep mode, the maximum current will be in the microamp range as specified in the
DC Electrical Characteristics on page 37. If the input lines are floating or are toggling while the 654 is in sleep
mode, the current can be up to 100 times more. If any of those signals are toggling or floating, then an external
buffer would be required to keep the address, data and control lines steady to achieve the low current.
A word of caution: owing to the starting up delay of the crystal oscillator after waking up from sleep mode, the
first few receive characters may be lost. Also, make sure the RX A-D pins are idling at logic 1 or “marking”
condition during sleep mode. This may not occur when the external interface transceivers (RS-232, RS-485 or
another type) are also put to sleep mode and cannot maintain the “marking” condition. To avoid this, the
system design engineer can use a 47k ohm pull-up resistor on each of the RX A-D inputs.
2.17
Internal Loopback
The 654 UART provides an internal loopback capability for system diagnostic purposes. The internal loopback
mode is enabled by setting MCR register bit-4 to logic 1. All regular UART functions operate normally.
Figure 13 shows how the modem port signals are re-configured. Transmit data from the transmit shift register
output is internally routed to the receive shift register input allowing the system to receive the same data that it
was sending. The TX pin is held at logic 1 or mark condition while RTS# and DTR# are de-asserted, and
CTS#, DSR# CD# and RI# inputs are ignored. Caution: the RX input must be held to a logic 1 during loopback
test else upon exiting the loopback test the UART may detect and report a false “break” signal.

Interrupt Enable Register (IER) - Read/Write
The Interrupt Enable Register (IER) masks the interrupts from receive data ready, transmit empty, line status
and modem status registers. These interrupts are reported in the Interrupt Status Register (ISR).
4.3.1
IER versus Receive FIFO Interrupt Mode Operation
When the receive FIFO (FCR BIT-0 = 1) and receive interrupts (IER BIT-0 = 1) are enabled, the RHR interrupts
(see ISR bits 2 and 3) status will reflect the following:

IER[0]: RHR Interrupt Enable
The receive data ready interrupt will be issued when RHR has a data character in the non-FIFO mode or when
the receive FIFO has reached the programmed trigger level in the FIFO mode.
Logic 0 = Disable the receive data ready interrupt (default).
Logic 1 = Enable the receiver data ready interrupt.
IER[1]: THR Interrupt Enable
This bit enables the Transmit Ready interrupt which is issued whenever the THR becomes empty in the nonFIFO mode or when data in the FIFO falls below the programmed trigger level in the FIFO mode. If the THR is
empty when this bit is enabled, an interrupt will be generated.
Logic 0 = Disable Transmit Ready interrupt (default).
Logic 1 = Enable Transmit Ready interrupt.
IER[2]: Receive Line Status Interrupt Enable
If any of the LSR register bits 1, 2, 3 or 4 is a logic 1, it will generate an interrupt to inform the host controller
about the error status of the current data byte in FIFO. LSR bit-1 generates an interrupt immediately when an
overrun occurs. LSR bits 2-4 generate an interrupt when the character in the RHR 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.
IER[4]: Sleep Mode Enable (requires EFR[4] = 1)
• Logic 0 = Disable Sleep Mode (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable Sleep Mode. See Sleep Mode section for further details.
IER[5]: Xoff Interrupt Enable (requires EFR[4]=1)
• Logic 0 = Disable the software flow control, receive Xoff interrupt. (default)
• Logic 1 = Enable the software flow control, receive Xoff interrupt. See Software Flow Control section for
details.
IER[6]: RTS# Output Interrupt Enable (requires EFR[4]=1)
• Logic 0 = Disable the RTS# interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the RTS# interrupt. The UART issues an interrupt when the RTS# pin makes a transition
from low to high (if enabled by EFR bit-6).

2.97V TO 5.5V QUAD UART WITH 64-BYTE FIFO
REV. 5.0.0
IER[7]: CTS# Input Interrupt Enable (requires EFR[4]=1)
• Logic 0 = Disable the CTS# interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the CTS# interrupt. The UART issues an interrupt when CTS# pin makes a transition from
low to high (if enabled by EFR bit-7).
4.4
Interrupt Status Register (ISR) - Read-Only
The UART provides multiple levels of prioritized interrupts to minimize external software interaction. The
Interrupt Status Register (ISR) provides the user with six interrupt status bits. Performing a read cycle on the
ISR will give the user the current highest pending interrupt level to be serviced, others are queued up to be
serviced next. No other interrupts are acknowledged until the pending interrupt is serviced. The Interrupt
Source Table, Table 11, shows the data values (bit 0-5) for the interrupt priority levels and the interrupt sources
associated with each of these interrupt levels.
4.4.1
Interrupt Generation:
• LSR is by any of the LSR bits 1, 2, 3 and 4.
• RXRDY is by RX trigger level.
• RXRDY Time-out is by a 4-char plus 12 bits delay timer.
• TXRDY is by TX trigger level or TX FIFO empty.
• MSR is by any of the MSR bits 0, 1, 2 and 3.
• Receive Xoff/Special character is by detection of a Xoff or Special character.
• CTS# is when the remote transmitter toggles the input pin (from low to high) during auto CTS flow control.
• RTS# is when its receiver toggles the output pin (from low to high) during auto RTS flow control.
4.4.2
Interrupt Clearing:
• LSR interrupt is cleared by a read to the LSR register (LSR bits 1-4 will clear but LSR bit-7 will not clear until
character(s) that generated the interrupt(s) has been emptied or cleared from FIFO).
• RXRDY interrupt is cleared by reading data until FIFO falls below the trigger level.
• RXRDY Time-out interrupt is cleared by reading RHR.
• TXRDY interrupt is cleared by a read to the ISR register or writing to THR.
• MSR interrupt is cleared by a read to the MSR register.
• Xoff interrupt is cleared by a read to ISR.
• Special character interrupt is cleared by a read to ISR register or after next character is received.
• RTS# and CTS# flow control interrupts are cleared by a read to the MSR register.

• Logic 0 = An interrupt is pending and the ISR contents may be used as a pointer to the appropriate interrupt
service routine.
• Logic 1 = No interrupt pending (default condition).
ISR[3:1]: Interrupt Status
These bits indicate the source for a pending interrupt at interrupt priority levels (See Interrupt Source Table 11).
ISR[4]: Interrupt Status
This bit is enabled when EFR bit-4 is set to a logic 1. ISR bit-4 indicates that the receiver detected a data match
of the Xoff character(s) or a special character.
ISR[5]: Interrupt Status
This bit is enabled when EFR bit-4 is set to a logic 1. ISR bit-5 indicates that CTS# or RTS# has changed state
from a logic low to logic 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.
4.5
FIFO Control Register (FCR) - Write-Only
This register is used to enable the FIFOs, clear the FIFOs, set the transmit/receive FIFO trigger levels, and
select the DMA mode. The DMA, and FIFO modes are defined as follows:
FCR[0]: TX and RX FIFO Enable
• Logic 0 = Disable the transmit and receive FIFO (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the transmit and receive FIFOs. This bit must be set to logic 1 when other FCR bits are
written or they will not be programmed.

FCR[1]: RX FIFO Reset
This bit is only active when FCR bit-0 is a ‘1’.
• Logic 0 = No receive FIFO reset (default)
• Logic 1 = Reset the receive FIFO pointers and FIFO level counter logic (the receive shift register is not
cleared or altered). This bit will return to a logic 0 after resetting the FIFO.
FCR[2]: TX FIFO Reset
This bit is only active when FCR bit-0 is a ‘1’.
• Logic 0 = No transmit FIFO reset (default).
• 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
Controls the behavior of the -TXRDY and -RXRDY pins. See DMA operation section for details.
• Logic 0 = Normal Operation (default).
• Logic 1 = DMA Mode.
FCR[5:4]: Transmit FIFO Trigger Select
(logic 0 = default, TX trigger level = one)
These 2 bits set the trigger level for the transmit FIFO. The UART will issue a transmit interrupt when the
number of characters in the FIFO falls below the selected trigger level, or when it gets empty in case that the
FIFO did not get filled over the trigger level on last re-load. Table 12 below shows the selections. EFR bit-4
must be set to ‘1’ before these bits can be accessed. Note that the receiver and the transmitter cannot use
different trigger tables. Whichever selection is made last applies to both the RX and TX side.
FCR[7:6]: Receive FIFO Trigger Select
(logic 0 = default, RX trigger level =1)
These 2 bits are used to set the trigger level for the receive FIFO. The UART will issue a receive interrupt when
the number of the characters in the FIFO crosses the trigger level. Table 12 shows the complete selections.

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 13 for parity selection summary below.
• Logic 0 = No parity.
• Logic 1 = A parity bit is generated during the transmission while the receiver checks for parity error of the
data character received.
LCR[4]: TX and RX Parity Select
If the parity bit is enabled with LCR bit-3 set to a logic 1, LCR BIT-4 selects the even or odd parity format.
• Logic 0 = ODD Parity is generated by forcing an odd number of logic 1’s in the transmitted character. The
receiver must be programmed to check the same format (default).
• Logic 1 = EVEN Parity is generated by forcing an even number of logic 1’s in the transmitted character. The
receiver must be programmed to check the same format.

LCR[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’, logic 0, 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”, logic 0, for alerting the remote receiver of a line
break condition.
LCR[7]: Baud Rate Divisors Enable
Baud rate generator divisor (DLL/DLM) enable.
• Logic 0 = Data registers are selected. (default)
• Logic 1 = Divisor latch registers are selected.
4.7
Modem Control Register (MCR) or General Purpose Outputs Control - Read/Write
The MCR register is used for controlling the serial/modem interface signals or general purpose inputs/outputs.
MCR[0]: DTR# Output
The DTR# pin is a modem control output. If the modem interface is not used, this output may be used as a
general purpose output.
• Logic 0 = Force DTR# output to a logic 1 (default).
• Logic 1 = Force DTR# output to a logic 0.
MCR[1]: RTS# Output
The RTS# pin is a modem control output and may be used for automatic hardware flow control by enabled by
EFR bit-6. If the modem interface is not used, this output may be used as a general purpose output.
• Logic 0 = Force RTS# output to a logic 1 (default).
• Logic 1 = Force RTS# output to a logic 0.
MCR[2]: Reserved
OP1# is not available as an output pin on the 654. But it is available for use during Internal Loopback Mode. In
the Loopback Mode, this bit is used to write the state of the modem RI# interface signal.

Enable or disable INT outputs to become active or in three-state. This function is associated with the INTSEL
input, see below table for details. This bit is also used to control the OP2# signal during internal loopback
mode. INTSEL pin must be set to a logic zero during 68 mode.
• Logic 0 = INT (A-D) outputs disabled (three state) in the 16 mode (default). During loopback mode, it sets
OP2# internally to a logic 1.
• Logic 1 = INT (A-D) outputs enabled (active) in the 16 mode. During loopback mode, it sets OP2# internally
to a logic 0.

MCR[4]: Internal Loopback Enable
• Logic 0 = Disable loopback mode (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable local loopback mode, see loopback section and Figure 13.
MCR[5]: Xon-Any Enable
• Logic 0 = Disable Xon-Any function (for 16C550 compatibility, default).
• Logic 1 = Enable Xon-Any function. In this mode, any RX character received will resume transmit operation.
The RX character will be loaded into the RX FIFO , unless the RX character is an Xon or Xoff character and
the 654 is programmed to use the Xon/Xoff flow control.
MCR[6]: Infrared Encoder/Decoder Enable
• Logic 0 = Enable the standard modem receive and transmit input/output interface. (Default)
• Logic 1 = Enable infrared IrDA receive and transmit inputs/outputs. The TX/RX output/input are routed to the
infrared encoder/decoder. The data input and output levels conform to the IrDA infrared interface
requirement. The RX FIFO may need to be flushed upon enable. While in this mode, the infrared TX output
will be a logic 0 during idle data conditions.
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 forth.
4.8
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 enabled, LSR
bit 1 will generate an interrupt immediately and LSR bits 2-4 will generate an interrupt when a character with an
error is in the RHR.
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.

ST16C654/654D
2.97V TO 5.5V QUAD UART WITH 64-BYTE FIFO
REV. 5.0.0
LSR[1]: Receiver Overrun Flag
• Logic 0 = No overrun error (default).
• Logic 1 = Overrun error. A data overrun error condition occurred in the receive shift register. This happens
when additional data arrives while the FIFO is full. In this case the previous data in the receive shift register
is overwritten. Note that under this condition the data byte in the receive shift register is not transferred into
the FIFO, therefore the data in the FIFO is not corrupted by the error.
LSR[2]: Receive Data Parity Error 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.
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.
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 at least one character frame time). In the
FIFO mode, only one break character is loaded into the FIFO. The break indication remains until the RX
input returns to the idle condition, “mark” or logic 1.
LSR[5]: Transmit Holding Register Empty Flag
This bit is the Transmit Holding Register Empty indicator. The THR bit is set to a logic 1 when the last data byte
is transferred from the transmit holding register to the transmit shift register. The bit is reset to logic 0
concurrently with the data loading to the transmit holding register by the host. In the FIFO mode this bit is set
when the transmit FIFO is empty, it is cleared when the transmit FIFO contains at least 1 byte.
LSR[6]: THR and TSR Empty Flag
This bit is set to a logic 1 whenever the transmitter goes idle. It is set to logic 0 whenever either the THR or TSR
contains a data character. In the FIFO mode this bit is set to a logic 1 whenever the transmit FIFO and transmit
shift register are both empty.
LSR[7]: Receive FIFO Data Error Flag
• Logic 0 = No FIFO error (default).
• Logic 1 = A global indicator for the sum of all error bits in the RX FIFO. At least one parity error, framing error
or break indication is in the FIFO data. This bit clears when there is no more error(s) in any of the bytes in the
RX FIFO.

Modem Status Register (MSR) - Read Only
This register provides the current state of the modem interface input signals. Lower four bits of this register are
used to indicate the changed information. These bits are set to a logic 1 whenever a signal from the modem
changes state. These bits may be used for general purpose inputs when they are not used with modem
signals.
MSR[0]: Delta CTS# Input Flag
• Logic 0 = No change on CTS# input (default).
• Logic 1 = The CTS# input has changed state since the last time it was monitored. A modem status interrupt
will be generated if MSR interrupt is enabled (IER bit-3).

MSR[1]: Delta DSR# Input Flag
• Logic 0 = No change on DSR# input (default).
• Logic 1 = The DSR# input has changed state since the last time it was monitored. A modem status interrupt
will be generated if MSR interrupt is enabled (IER bit-3).
MSR[2]: Delta RI# Input Flag
• Logic 0 = No change on RI# input (default).
• Logic 1 = The RI# input has changed from 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). 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. Normally 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.
MSR[5]: DSR Input Status
DSR# (active high, logical 1). Normally 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
RI# (active high, logical 1). Normally 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
CD# (active high, logical 1). Normally 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 when the
modem interface is not used.
4.10
Scratch Pad Register (SPR) - Read/Write
This is a 8-bit general purpose register for the user to store temporary data. The content of this register is
preserved during sleep mode but becomes 0xFF (default) after a reset or a power off-on cycle.
4.11
Baud Rate Generator Registers (DLL and DLM) - Read/Write
The concatenation of the contents of DLM and DLL gives the 16-bit divisor value which is used to calculate the
baud rate:
• Baud Rate = (Clock Frequency / 16) / Divisor
See MCR bit-7 and the baud rate table also.
4.12
Enhanced Feature Register (EFR) - Read/Write
Enhanced features are enabled or disabled using this register. Bit 0-3 provide single or dual consecutive
character software flow control selection (see Table 15). 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.

TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE SOFTWARE FLOW CONTROL
EFR[4]: Enhanced Function Bits Enable
Enhanced function control bit. This bit enables IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 4-5, and MCR bits 5-7 to be
modified. After modifying any enhanced bits, EFR bit-4 can be set to a logic 0 to latch the new values. This
feature prevents legacy software from altering or overwriting the enhanced functions once set. Normally, it is
recommended to leave it enabled, logic 1.
• Logic 0 = modification disable/latch enhanced features. IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 4-5, and MCR
bits 5-7 are saved to retain the user settings. After a reset, the IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 4-5, and
MCR bits 5-7are set to a logic 0 to be compatible with ST16C550 mode (default).
• Logic 1 = Enables the above-mentioned register bits to be modified by the user.
EFR[5]: Special Character Detect Enable
• Logic 0 = Special Character Detect Disabled (default).
• Logic 1 = Special Character Detect Enabled. The UART compares each incoming receive character with
data in Xoff-2 register. If a match exists, the receive data will be transferred to FIFO and ISR bit-4 will be set
to indicate detection of the special character. Bit-0 corresponds with the LSB bit of the receive character. If
flow control is set for comparing Xon1, Xoff1 (EFR [1:0]= ‘10’) then flow control and special character work
normally. However, if flow control is set for comparing Xon2, Xoff2 (EFR[1:0]= ‘01’) then flow control works
normally, but Xoff2 will not go to the FIFO, and will generate an Xoff interrupt and a special character
interrupt, if enabled via IER bit-5.

EFR[6]: Auto RTS Flow Control Enable
RTS# output may be used for hardware flow control by setting EFR bit-6 to logic 1. When Auto RTS is selected,
an interrupt will be generated when the receive FIFO is filled to the programmed trigger level and RTS deasserts to a logic 1 at the next upper trigger level/hysteresis level. RTS# will return to a logic 0 when FIFO data
falls below the next lower trigger level/hysteresis level. The RTS# output must be asserted (logic 0) before the
auto RTS can take effect. RTS# pin will function as a general purpose output when hardware flow control is
disabled.
• Logic 0 = Automatic RTS flow control is disabled (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable Automatic RTS flow control.
EFR[7]: Auto CTS Flow Control Enable
Automatic CTS Flow Control.
• Logic 0 = Automatic CTS flow control is disabled (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable Automatic CTS flow control. Data transmission stops when CTS# input de-asserts to logic
1. Data transmission resumes when CTS# returns to a logic 0.

Software Flow Control Registers (XOFF1, XOFF2, XON1, XON2) - Read/Write
These registers are used as the programmable software flow control characters xoff1, xoff2, xon1, and xon2.

FIFO Status Register (FSTAT) - Read/Write
This register is applicable only to the 100 pin QFP ST16C654. The FIFO Status Register provides a status
indication for each of the transmit and receive FIFO. These status bits contain the inverted logic states of the
TXRDY# A-D outputs and the (un-inverted) logic states of the RXRDY# A-D outputs. The contents of the
FSTAT register are placed on the data bus when the FSRS# pin (pin 76) is a logic 0. Also see FSRS# pin
description.

DESCRIPTION
Changed to standard style single-column format. Text descriptions were
clarified and simplified (eg. DMA operation, FIFO mode vs. Non-FIFO
mode operations etc). Clarified timing diagrams. Renamed Rclk
(Receive Clock) to Bclk (Baud Clock) and timing symbols. Added TCS,
TRWS and T RST.Renamed FIFORdy register to FSTAT register.
