HIGH PERFORMANCE OCTAL PCI EXPRESS UART
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The XR17V358 (V358) integrates the functions of eight independent enhanced 16550 UARTs, a general
purpose 16-bit timer/counter, and 16 multi-purpose I/Os (MPIOs). Each UART channel has its own 16550
UART compatible configuration register set for individual channel control, status and data transfer. The device
configuration registers include a set of four consecutive interrupt source registers that provides interrupt status
for all eight UARTs, timer/counter, MPIOs and a sleep wake-up indicator. Additionally, each UART channel has
256-byte of transmit and receive FIFOs, automatic RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR hardware flow control, automatic
XON/XOFF, special character flow control, programmable transmit and receive FIFO trigger levels, infrared
encoder/decoder (IrDA ver. 1.1), and a programmable fractional baud rate generator with a prescaler of divide
by 1 or 4, and a data rate up to 25 Mbps with the 4X sampling rate.
PCIE INTERFACE AND DATA TRANSFERS
This is the host interface and it meets the PCIe base specifications revision 2.0 Gen 1. The V358 also supports
data read/write burst operations so the 256-byte TX or RX FIFO can be loaded or unloaded in a single
transaction greatly increasing the overall system performance.
LOCAL BUS CONFIGURATION SPACE REGISTERS
A set of local bus configuration space register is provided. These registers provide the PCI vendor ID, device
ID, sub-vendor ID, product model number, resources and capabilities which is collected by the host during the
auto configuration phase that follows immediately after a power up or system reset/reboot. After the host has
sorted out all devices on the bus, it defines and download the operating conditions to the cards. One of the
definitions is the base address loaded into the Base Address Register (BAR) where the card will be operating
in the PCI local bus memory space. All this is described in more detail in “Section 1.1, PCI LOCAL BUS
CONFIGURATION SPACE REGISTERS” on page 10.
EEPROM INTERFACE
An external 93C46 EEPROM is used to store words of information such as PCI Vendor ID, PCI Device ID,
Class Code, etc. Details of this information can be found in “Section 1.2, EEPROM Interface” on page 14.
This information is only used with the plug-and-play auto configuration of the PCI local bus. These data provide
automatic hardware installation onto the PCI bus. The EEPROM interface consists of 4 signals, EEDI, EEDO,
EECS, and EECK. The EEPROM is not needed when auto configuration is not required in the application.
However, if your design requires non-volatile memory for other purpose, it is possible to store and retrieve data
on the EEPROM through a special PCI device configuration register. See application note DAN112 for its
programming details.

1.0 XR17V358 INTERNAL REGISTERS
The XR17V358 UART register set is very similar to the previous generation PCI UARTs. This makes the V358
software compatible with the previous generation PCI UARTs. Minimal changes are needed to the software
driver of an existing Exar PCI UART driver so that it can be used with the V358 PCIe UART.
There are three different sets of registers as shown in Figure 3. The PCI Local Bus Configuration Space
Registers is needed for plug-and-play auto-configuration. This auto-configuration feature makes installation
very easy into a PCI system and it is part of the PCI local bus specification. The second register set is the
Device Configuration Registers that are also accessible directly from the PCI bus for programming general
operating conditions of the device and monitoring the status of various functions common to all eight channels.
These functions include all 8 channel UARTs’ interrupt control and status, 16-bit general purpose timer control
and status, multipurpose inputs/outputs control and status, sleep mode, soft-reset, and device identification
and revision. And lastly, each UART channel has its own set of internal UART Configuration Registers for its
own operation control and status reporting. All 8 sets of channel registers are embedded inside the device
configuration registers space, which provides faster access. The second and third set of registers are mapped
into 8K of the PCI bus memory address space. The following paragraphs describe all 3 sets of registers in
detail.

PCI LOCAL BUS CONFIGURATION SPACE REGISTERS
The PCI local bus configuration space registers are responsible for setting up the device’s operating
environment in the PCI local bus. The pre-defined operating parameters of the device is read by the PCI bus
plug-and-play auto-configuration manager in the operating system. After the PCI bus has collected all data
from every device/card on the bus, it defines and downloads the memory mapping information to each device/
card about their individual operation memory address location and conditions. The operating memory mapped
address location is downloaded into the Base Address Register (BAR) register, located at an address offset of
0x10 in the configuration space. Custom modification of certain registers is possible by using an external
93C46 EEPROM. The EEPROM contains the device vendor and sub-vendor data, along with 6 other words of
information (see “Section 1.2, EEPROM Interface” on page 14) required by the auto-configuration setup.

EEPROM Interface
The V358 provides an interface to an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM). The
EEPROM must be a 93C46-like device, with its memory configured as 16-bit words. This interface is provided
in order to program the registers in the PCI Configuration Space of the PCI UART during power-up. The
EEPROM must be organized into address/data pairs. The first word of the pair is the address and the second
word is the data. Table 2 below shows the format of the 16-bit address:
TABLE 2: EEPROM ADDRESS BIT DEFINITIONS
BIT(S)
DEFINITION

Parity Bit - Odd parity over entire address/data pair
If there is a parity error, it will be reported in bit-3 of the REGB register in
the Device Configuration Registers (offset 0x08E).

If 1, this will be the last data to be read.
If 0, there will be more data to be read after this.

XR17V358
HIGH PERFORMANCE OCTAL PCI EXPRESS UART
Device Internal Register Sets
The Device Configuration Registers and the eight individual UART Configuration Registers of the V358
occupy 8K of PCI bus memory address space. These addresses are offset onto the basic memory address, a
value loaded into the Memory Base Address Register (BAR) in the PCI local bus configuration register set. The
UART Configuration Registers are mapped into 8 address blocks where each UART channel occupies 1024
bytes memory space for its own registers that include the 16550 compatible registers. The Device
Configuration Registers are accessible from all UART channels. However, not all bits can be controlled by all
channels. The UART channel can only control the 8XMODE, 4XMODE, RESET and SLEEP register bits that
apply to that particular channel. For example, this prevents channel 0 from accidentally resetting channel 1.
All these registers can be accessed in 8, 16, 24 or 32 bits width depending on the starting address given by the
host at the beginning of the bus cycle. Transmit and receive data may be loaded or unloaded in 8, 16, 24 or 32
bits format in special locations given in the Table 4 below. Every time a read or write operation is made to the
transmit or receive register, its FIFO data pointer is automatically bumped to the next sequential data location
either in byte, word or DWORD. One special case applies to the receive data unloading when reading the
receive data together with its LSR register content. The host must read them in 16 or 32 bits format in order to
maintain integrity of the data byte with its associated error flags. These special registers are further discussed
in “Section 2.1, FIFO DATA LOADING AND UNLOADING IN 32-BIT FORMAT” on page 31.

Device Configuration Registers
The Device Configuration Registers provide easy programming of general operating parameters to the V358
and for monitoring the status of various functions. These registers control or report on all 8 channel UARTs
functions that include interrupt control and status, 16-bit general purpose timer control and status, multipurpose
inputs/outputs control and status, sleep mode control, soft-reset control, and device identification and revision,
and others. Tables 5 and 6 below show these registers in BYTE and DWORD alignment. Each of these
registers is described in detail in the following paragraphs.

1.4.1
The Global Interrupt Registers - INT0, INT1, INT2 and INT3
The XR17V358 has a 32-bit wide register [INT0, INT1, INT2 and INT3] to provide interrupt information and
supports two interrupt schemes. The first scheme is an 8-bit indicator representing all 8 channels with each bit
representing each channel from 0 to 7. This permits the interrupt service routine to quickly determine which
UART channels need servicing so that it can go to the appropriate UART channel interrupt service routines.
INT0 bit [0] represents the interrupt status for UART channel 0 when its transmitter, receiver, line status, or
modem port status requires service. Other bits in the INT0 register provide indication for the other channels
with bit [7] representing UART channel 7 respectively.
The second scheme provides detail about the source of the interrupts for each UART channel. All the interrupts
are encoded into a 3-bit code. This 3-bit code represents 7 interrupts corresponding to individual UART’s
transmitter, receiver, line status, modem port status. INT1, INT2 and INT3 registers provide the 24-bit interrupt
status for all 8 channels. bits [10:8] representing channel 0 and bits [31:29] representing channel 7
respectively. All 8 channel interrupts status are available with a single DWORD read operation. This feature
allows the host another method to quickly service the interrupts, thus reducing the service interval and host
bandwidth requirement.
Note that the interrupts reported in this register is specific to each UART channel. If there is a global interrupt
such as the wake-up interrupt, timer/counter interrupt or MPIO interrupt, they would be reported in the 3-bit
code for channel 0 in INT1.

INT3 [31:24]
INT2 [23:16]
[default 0x00-00-00-00]
INT1 [15:8]
INT0 [7:0]
All bits start up zero. A special interrupt condition is generated by the V358 upon awakening from sleep after all
eight channels were put to sleep mode earlier. This wake-up interrupt is cleared by a read to the INT0 register.
Figure 4 shows the 4-byte interrupt register and its make up.

Each bit gives an indication of the channel that has requested for service. Bit [0] represents channel 0 and
bit [7] indicates channel 7. Logic 1 indicates the channel N [7:0] has called for service. The interrupt bit clears
after reading the appropriate register of the interrupting channel register, see Interrupt Clearing section.
The INT0 register provides individual status for each channel

INT3, INT2 and INT1 [31:8] 3-bit Channel Interrupt Encoding
Each channel’s interrupt is encoded into 3 bits for receive, transmit, and status. Bits [10:8] represent channel 0
and go up to channel 7 with bits [31:29]. The 3-bit encoding and their priority order are shown below in Table 7.
The wake-up interrupt, timer/counter interrupt and MPIO interrupt are only reported in channel 0 of INT1
(bits[10:8]). These interrupts are not reported in any other location.

General Purpose 16-bit Timer/Counter [TIMERMSB, TIMELSB, TIMER, TIMECNTL] (DEFAULT
0XXX-XX-00-00)
The XR17V358 has a general purpose 16-bit timer/counter. The internal 125MHz clock (master mode) or
62.5MHz clock (slave mode) or the external clock at the TMRCK input pin can be selected as the clock source
for the timer/counter. The timer can be set to be a single-shot for a one-time event or re-triggerable for a
periodic signal. An interrupt may be generated when the timer times out and will show up as a Channel 0
interrupt (see Table 7). It is controlled through 4 configuration registers [TIMERCNTL, TIMER, TIMELSB,
TIMERMSB]. The TIMERCNTL register provides the Timer commands such as start/stop, as shown in Table 9
below. The time-out output of the Timer can also be optionally routed to the MPIO[0] pin. The block diagram of
the Timer/Counter circuit is shown below:

The concatentaion of the 8-bit registers TIMERMSB and TIMERLSB forms a 16-bit value which decides the
time-out period of the Timer, per the following equation:
Timer output frequency = Timer input clock / 16-bit Timer value
The least-significant bit of the timer is being bit [0] of the TIMERLSB with most-significant-bit being bit [7] in
TIMERMSB. Notice that these registers do not hold the current counter value when read. Default value is zero
(timer disabled) upon powerup and reset. The ’Reset Timer’ command does not have any effect on this
register.

TIMER OPERATION
The following paragraphs describe the operation of the 16-bit Timer/Counter. The following conventions will be
used in this discussion:
■
’N’ is the 16-bit value programmed in the TIMER MSB, LSB registers
■
P +Q = N, where ’P’ and ’Q’ are approximately half of ’N’.
■
If N is even, P = Q = N/2.
■
If N is odd, P = (N – 1)/2 and Q = (N + 1)/2.
■
‘N’ can take any value from 0x0002 to 0xFFFF.
Timer Operation in One-Shot Mode:
In the one-shot mode, the Timer output will stay HIGH when started (default state) and will continue to stay
HIGH until it times out (reaches the terminal count of ‘N’ clocks), at which time it will become LOW and stay
LOW. If the Timer is re-started before the Timer times out, the counter is reset and the Timer will wait for
another time-out period before setting its output LOW (See Figure 6). If the Timer times out, re-starting the
Timer does not have any effect and a ’Stop Timer’ command needs to be issued first which will set the Timer
output to its default HIGH state. The Timer must be programmed while it is stopped since the following
operations are blocked after the Timer has been started:
■
Any write to TIMER MSB, LSB registers
■
Issue of any command other than ’Start Timer’, ’Stop Timer’ and ’Reset Timer’
Timer Operation in Re-triggerable Mode:
In the re-triggerable mode, when the Timer is started, the Timer output will stay HIGH until it reaches half of the
terminal count N (= P clocks) and toggle LOW and stay LOW for a similar amount of time (Q clocks). The
above step will keep repeating until the Timer is stopped at which time the output will become HIGH (default
state). See Figure 6. Also, after the Timer is started, re-starting the Timer does not have any effect in retriggerable mode. The Timer must be programmed while it is stopped since the following operations are
blocked when the Timer is running:
■
Any write to TIMER MSB, LSB registers
■
Issue of any command other than ’Stop Timer’ and ’Reset Timer’ (’Start Timer’ is not allowed)
Routing the Timer Output to MPIO[0] Pin:
MPIO[0] pin is by default (on power up or reset, for example) an input. However, whenever the Timer output is
routed to MPIO[0] pin,
■
MPIO[0] will be automatically selected as an output
■
MPIO[0] will become HIGH (the default state of Timer output)
■
All MPIO control registers (MPIOLVL, MPIOSEL etc) lose control over MPIO[0] and get the control back
only when the Timer output is de-routed from MPIO[0].

Timer Interrupt
In the one-shot mode, the Timer will issue an interrupt upon timing out which is ’N’ clocks after the Timer is
started. In the re-triggerable mode, the Timer will keep issuing an interrupt every ’N’ clocks which is on every
rising edge of the Timer output. The Timer interrupt can be cleared by reading the TIMERCNTL register or
when a Timer Reset command is issued which brings the Timer back to its default settings. The TIMERCNTL
will read a value of 0x01 when the Timer interrupt is enabled and there is a pending interrupt. It reads a value
of 0x00 at all other times. Stopping the Timer does not clear the interrupt and neither does subsequent restarting.

The 8-bit RESET register provides the software with the ability to reset the UART(s) when there is a need. The
RESET register is accessible from the Device Configuration Registers in all UART channels but the UART
channel can only control the bit for that channel. For example, writing 0xFF to the RESET register in channel 0
will only reset channel 0. Each bit is self-clearing after it is written a logic 1 to perform a reset to that channel.
All registers in that channel will be reset to the default condition, see Table 21 for details. .

The 8-bit SLEEP register enables each UART separately to enter Sleep mode. The SLEEP register is
accessible from the Device Configuration Registers in all UART channels but the UART channel can only
control the bit for that channel. For example, writing 0xFF to the SLEEP register in channel 0 will only enable
the sleep mode for channel 0.
Sleep mode reduces power consumption when the system needs to put the UART(s) to idle. The UART enters
sleep mode when the following conditions are satisfied after the sleep mode is enabled (Logic 0 (default) is to
disable and logic 1 is to enable sleep mode):
■
Transmitter and Receiver are empty (LSR[6]=1, LSR[0]=0)
■
RX pin is idling at a HIGH in normal mode or a LOW in infrared mode
■
The modem inputs (CTS#, DSR#, CD# and RI#) are steady at either HIGH or LOW (MSR bits [3:0] =
0x0)
The V358 is awakened by any of the following events occurring at any of the 8 UART channels:
■
A receive data start bit transition (HIGH to LOW in normal mode or from LOW to HIGH in infrared mode)
■
A data byte is loaded into the transmitter
■
A change of logic state on any of the modem inputs so that any of the delta bits (MSR bits[3:0]) is set
(RI# delta bit is only set on the rising edge)
A receive data start bit transition will not wake up the UART if the Multidrop mode is disabled (DLD[6] = 0) and
the receiver is disabled (MSR[2] = 1, MSR[0] = 0).
A special interrupt is generated with an indication of no pending interrupt. The V358 will return to sleep mode
automatically after all interrupting conditions have been serviced and cleared. It will stay in the sleep mode of
operation until it is disabled by resetting the SLEEP register bits.
1.4.6
Device Identification and Revision
There are two internal registers that provide device identification and revision, DVID and DREV registers. The
8-bit content in the DVID register provides device identification. A return value of 0x88 from this register
indicates the device is a XR17V358. The DREV register returns an 8-bit value of 0x01 for revision A with 0x02
equals to revision B and so on. This information is very useful to the software driver for identifying which device
it is communicating with and to keep up with revision changes.
DVID [15:8]
Device identification for the type of UART. The Device ID of the XR17V358 is 0x88.
DREV [7:0]
Revision number of the XR17V358. A 0x01 represents "revision-A" with 0x02 for rev-B and so on.
REGB [23:16] (default 0x00)
REGB register provides a control for simultaneous write to all 8 UARTs configuration register or individually.
This is very useful for device initialization in the power up and reset routines. Also, the register provides a
facility to interface to the non-volatile memory device such as a 93C46 EEPROM. In embedded applications,
the user can use this facility to store proprietary data in an external EEPROM.

to be an input or output function. The input logic state can be set for normal or inverted level, and optionally set
to generate an interrupt. The outputs can be set to be normal HIGH or LOW state, 3-state, or open drain. Their
functions and definitions are programmed through 6 registers: MPIOINT, MPIOLVL, MPIO3T, MPIOINV,
MPIOSEL, and MPIOOD. If all 16 pins are set for inputs, all 16 interrupts would be ORed together. The ORed
interrupt is reported in the channel 0 UART interrupt status, see Interrupt Status Register. The pins may also be
programmed to be outputs and to the 3-state condition for signal sharing. The MPIO[0] pin can be programmed
to show the Timer output. When it is programmed to be the Timer output, all the above 5 registers lose control
over the MPIO[0] pin. For details on Timer output, please see “Section 1.4.2, General Purpose 16-bit Timer/
Counter [TIMERMSB, TIMELSB, TIMER, TIMECNTL] (default 0xXX-XX-00-00)” on page 21.

MPIOINT [15:0] (default 0x00)
The MPIOINT register enables the multipurpose input pin interrupt. If an MPIO pin is selected by MPIOSEL as
an input, then it can be selected to generate an interrupt. MPIOINT bit[0] enables input pin MPIO0 for interrupt,
and bit [7] enables input pin 7. No interrupt is enable if the pin is selected to be an output. The interrupt is edge
sensing and determined by MPIOINV and MPIOLVL registers. The MPIO interrupt clears after a read to
register MPIOLVL. The combination of MPIOLVL and MPIOINV determines the interrupt being active LOW or
active HIGH. Logic 0 (default) disables the pin’s interrupt and logic 1 enables it.

The MPIOLVL register controls the output pins and provides the input level status for the input pins. The status
of the input pin(s) is read on this register and output pins are controlled on this register. A logic 0 (default) sets
the output to LOW and a logic 1 sets the output pin to HIGH. The MPIO interrupt will clear upon reading this
register.

2.0 TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE DATA
There are two methods to load transmit data and unload receive data from each UART channel. First, there is
a transmit data register and receive data register for each UART channel as shown in Table 4 set to ease
programming. These registers support 8, 16, 24 and 32 bits wide format. In the 32-bit format, it increases the
data transfer rate on the PCI bus. Additionally, a special register location provides receive data byte with its
associated error flags. This is a 16-bit or 32-bit read operation where the Line Status Register (LSR) content in
the UART channel register is paired along with the data byte. This operation further facilitates data unloading
with the error flags without having to read the LSR register separately. Furthermore, the XR17V358 supports
PCI burst mode for read/write operation of up to 256 bytes of data.
The second method is through each UART channel’s transmit holding register (THR) and receive holding
register (RHR). The THR and RHR registers are 16550 compatible so their access is limited to 8-bit format.
The software driver must separately read the LSR content for the associated error flags before reading the
data byte.
2.1
FIFO DATA LOADING AND UNLOADING IN 32-BIT FORMAT
The XR17V358 supports PCI Burst Read and PCI Burst Write transactions anywhere in the mapped memory
region (except reserved areas). In addition, to utilize this feature fully, the device provides a separate memory
location (apart from the individual channel’s register set) where the RX and the TX FIFO can be read from/
written to, as shown in Table 4. The following is an extract from the table showing the memory locations that
support burst transactions:
Channel N: (for channels 0 through 7) where M = 4N + 1.
RX FIFO
:
0xM00 - 0xMFF (256 bytes)
TX FIFO
:
0xM00 - 0xMFF (256 bytes)
RX FIFO + status
:
0x(M+1)0 - 0x(M+2)FF (256 bytes data + 256 bytes status)
For example, the locations for channel 2 are:
Channel 2:
2.1.1
RX FIFO
:
0x0900 - 0x09FF (256 bytes)
TX FIFO
:
0x0900 - 0x09FF (256 bytes)
RX FIFO + status
:
0x0A00 - 0x0BFF (256 bytes data + 256 bytes status)
Normal Rx FIFO Data Unloading at locations 0x100, 0x500, 0x900, 0xD00, 0x1100, 0x1500,
0x1900, and 0x1D00
The RX FIFO data (up to the maximum 256 bytes) can be read out in a single burst 32-bit read operation
(maximum 16 DWORD reads) at memory locations 0x100 (channel 0), 0x500 (channel 1), 0x900
(channel 2),......., 0x1D00 (channel 7). This operation is at least 16 times faster than reading the data in 256
separate 8-bit memory reads of RHR register (0x000 for channel 0, 0x400 for channel 1, 0x800 for channel
2,......, 0x1C00 for channel 7).

3.0 UART
There are 8 UARTs channel [7:0] in the V358. Each has its own 256-byte of transmit and receive FIFO, a set of
16550 compatible control and status registers, and a baud rate generator for individual channel data rate
setting. Eight additional registers per UART were added for the EXAR enhanced features.
3.1
Programmable Baud Rate Generator with Fractional Divisor
Each UART has its own Baud Rate Generator (BRG) with a prescaler for the transmitter and receiver. The
prescaler is controlled by a software bit in the MCR register. The MCR register bit [7] sets the prescaler to
divide the internal 125MHz clock (master) or 62.5MHz clock (slave) by 1 or 4. The output of the prescaler
clocks to the BRG. The BRG further divides this clock by a programmable divisor between 1 and (216 - 0.0625)
in increments of 0.0625 (1/16) to obtain a 16X, 8X or 4X sampling clock of the serial data rate. The sampling
clock is used by the transmitter for data bit shifting and receiver for data sampling.
The BRG divisor (DLL, DLM and DLD registers) defaults to 1 (DLL = 0x01, DLM = 0x00, DLD = 0x00). The
DLL and DLM registers provide the integer part of the divisor and the DLD register provides the fractional part
of the divisor. Only the four lower bits of the DLD are implemented and they are used to select a value from 0
(for setting 0000) to 0.9375 or 15/16 (for setting 1111). Programming the Baud Rate Generator Registers DLL,
DLM and DLD provides the capability for selecting the operating data rate. Table 11 shows the divisor for some
standard and non-standard data rates when using the internal 125MHz clock at 16X clock rate. Table 12
shows the divisor for some standard and non-standard data rates when using the internal 62.5MHz clock at
16X clock rate. If the pre-scaler is used (MCR bit [7] = 1), the output data rate will be 4 times less than that
shown in Table 11 and Table 12. At 8X sampling rate, these data rates would double. At 4X sampling rate,
these data rates would quadruple. Also, when using 8X or 4X sampling mode, note that the bit-time will have a
jitter (+/- 1/16) whenever the DLD is an odd number. For data rates not listed in Table 11, the divisor value can
be calculated with the following equation(s):
Required Divisor (decimal) = (125MHz or 62.5MHz clock frequency / prescaler) / (serial data rate x 16),
WITH 8XMODE =0 AND 4XMODE = 0
Required Divisor (decimal) = (125MHz or 62.5MHz clock frequency / prescaler / (serial data rate x 8),
WITH 8XMODE = 1 AND 4XMODE = 0
Required Divisor (decimal) = (125MHz or 62.5MHz clock frequency / prescaler / (serial data rate x 4),
WITH 8XMODE = 0 AND 4XMODE = 1
The closest divisor that is obtainable in the V358 can be calculated using the following formula:
ROUND( (Required Divisor - TRUNC (Required Divisor) )*16)/16 + TRUNC (Required Divisor), where
DLM = TRUNC( Required Divisor) >> 8
DLL = TRUNC (Required Divisor) & 0xFF
DLD = ROUND ( (Required Divisor-TRUNC(Required Divisor) )*16)
In the formulas above, please note that:
TRUNC (N) = Integer Part of N. For example, TRUNC (5.6) = 5.
ROUND (N) = N rounded towards the closest integer. For example, ROUND (7.3) = 7 and ROUND (9.9) = 10.

Automatic Hardware (RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR) Flow Control Operation
Automatic hardware or RTS/DTR and CTS/DSR flow control is used to prevent data overrun to the local
receiver FIFO and remote receiver FIFO. The RTS#/DTR# output pin is used to request remote unit to
suspend/restart data transmission while the CTS#/DSR# input pin is monitored to suspend/restart local
transmitter. The auto RTS/DTR and auto CTS/DSR flow control features are individually selected to fit specific
application requirement and enabled through EFR bit[7:6] and MCR bit [2] for either RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR
control signals. The auto RTS/DTR function must be started by asserting RTS/DTR# output pin (MCR bit [0] or
bit [1] to logic 1) after it is enabled. Figure 10 below explains how it works.
Two interrupts associated with RTS/DTR and CTS/DSR flow control have been added to give indication when
RTS/DTR# pin or CTS/DSR# pin is de-asserted during operation. The RTS/DTR and CTS/DSR interrupts must
be first enabled by EFR bit [4], and then enabled individually by IER bits [7:6], and chosen with MCR bit [2].
Automatic hardware flow control is selected by setting bits [7 (CTS): 6 (RTS)] of the EFR register to logic 1. If
CTS# pin transitions from LOW to HIGH indicating a flow control request, ISR bit [5] will be set to logic 1, (if
enabled via IER bit [7:6]), and the UART will suspend TX transmissions as soon as the stop bit of the character
in process is shifted out. Transmission is resumed after the CTS# input returns to LOW, indicating more data
may be sent.

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

Infrared Mode
Each UART in the V358 includes the infrared encoder and decoder compatible to the IrDA (Infrared Data
Association) version 1.1. The input pin ENIR conveniently activates all 8 UART channels to start up in the
infrared mode. This global control pin enables the MCR bit [6] function in every UART channel register. After
power up or a reset, the software can overwrite MCR bit [6] if so desired. ENIR and MCR bit [6] also disable its
receiver while the transmitter is sending data. This prevents the echoed data from going to the receiver. The
global activation ENIR pin prevents the infrared emitter from turning on and drawing large amount of current
while the system is starting up. When the infrared feature is enabled, the transmit data outputs, TX[7:0], would
idle LOW. Likewise, the RX [7:0] inputs assume a LOW idle level.
The infrared encoder sends out a 3/16 of a bit wide pulse for each “0” bit in the transmit data stream. This
signal encoding reduces the on-time of the infrared LED, hence reduces the power consumption. See
Figure 11 below. Typical max data rate for the infrared encoder with a 3/16 of a bit wide pulse is 115.2 kbps.
For data rates above 115.2 kbps and up to1.152 Mbps, Fast IR mode can be enabled via DLD bit-4 for a 1/4 of
bit wide pulse. For exact 3/16 or 1/4 of a bit wide pulse, the 16X sampling rate should be used and DLD[3:0] =
’0000’. The IR pulse width can vary if DLD[3:0] is not ’0000’.
The infrared decoder receives the input pulse from the infrared sensing diode on RX pin. Each time the
decoder senses a light pulse, it returns a "0" to the data bit stream. The RX input signal may be inverted prior
delivered to the input of the decoder via internal register setting. This option supports active LOW instead of
normal active HIGH pulse from some infrared modules on the market.

Internal Loopback
Each UART channel provides an internal loopback capability for system diagnostic. The internal loopback
mode is enabled by setting MCR register bit [4] to a logic 1. All regular UART functions operate normally.
Figure 12 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 HIGH or mark condition while RTS# and DTR# are de-asserted. The CTS#,
DSR#, CD# and RI# inputs are ignored.

MCR bits [3:2] (OP1 and OP2 outputs) are not available in the XR17V358. They are present for 16C550
compatibility during Internal loopback, see Figure 12.
Transmitter
The transmitter section comprises of a 256 bytes of FIFO, a byte-wide Transmit Holding Register (THR) and an
8-bit Transmit Shift Register (TSR). THR receives a data byte from the host (non-FIFO mode) or a data byte
from the FIFO when the FIFO is enabled by FCR bit [0]. TSR shifts out every data bit with the 16X or 8X
internal clock. A bit time is 16 or 8 clock periods. The transmitter sends the start bit followed by the number of
data bits, inserts the proper parity bit if enable, and adds the stop bit(s). The status of the THR and TSR are
reported in the Line Status Register (LSR bit [6:5]).
3.6.1
Transmit Holding Register (THR)
The transmit holding register is an 8-bit register providing a data interface to the host processor. The host
writes transmit data byte to the THR to be converted into a serial data stream including start-bit, data bits,
parity-bit and stop-bit(s). The least-significant-bit (bit [0]) becomes first data bit to go out. The THR is also the
input register to the transmit FIFO of 256 bytes when FIFO operation is enabled by FCR bit[0]. A THR empty
interrupt can be generated when it is enabled in IER bit [1].
3.6.2
Transmitter Operation in non-FIFO Mode
The host loads transmit data to THR one character at a time. The THR empty flag (LSR bit [5]) is set when the
data byte is transferred to TSR. THR flag can generate a transmit empty interrupt (ISR bit [1]) when it is
enabled by IER bit [1]. The TSR flag (LSR bit [6]) is set when TSR becomes completely empty.

Transmitter Operation in FIFO Mode
The host may fill the transmit FIFO with up to 256 bytes of transmit data. The THR empty flag (LSR bit [5]) is
set whenever the FIFO is empty. The THR empty flag can generate a transmit empty interrupt (ISR bit [1])
when the amount of data in the FIFO falls below its programmed trigger level (see TXTRG register). The
transmit empty interrupt is enabled by IER bit [1]. The TSR flag (LSR bit [6]) is set when TSR becomes
completely empty. Furthermore, with the RS485 half-duplex direction control enabled (FCTR bit [5]=1) the
source of the transmit empty interrupt changes to TSR empty instead of THR empty. This is to ensure the
RTS# output is not changed until the last stop bit of the last character is shifted out.
3.6.4
Auto RS485 Operation
The auto RS485 half-duplex direction control changes the behavior of the transmitter when enabled by FCTR
bit [5]. It de-asserts RTS# or DTR# after a specified delay indicated in MSR[7:4] following the last stop bit of the
last character that has been transmitted. This helps in turning around the transceiver to receive the remote
station’s response. The delay optimizes the time needed for the last transmission to reach the farthest station
on a long cable network before switching off the line driver. This delay prevents undesirable line signal
disturbance that causes signal degradation. It also changes the transmitter empty interrupt to TSR empty
instead of THR empty.

Receiver
The receiver section contains an 8-bit Receive Shift Register (RSR) and Receive Holding Register (RHR). The
RSR uses the 16X, 8X or 4X 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, 8X or 4X clock rate. After 8 or 4 or 2 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 [4:1]. Upon unloading the receive data byte from RHR, the receive FIFO
pointer is bumped and the error flags are immediately updated to reflect the status of the data byte in RHR
register. RHR can generate a receive data ready interrupt upon receiving a character or delay until it reaches
the FIFO trigger level. Furthermore, data delivery to the host is guaranteed by a receive data ready time-out
function when receive data does not reach the receive FIFO trigger level. This time-out delay is 4 word lengths
as defined by LCR bits [1:0] plus 12 bits time. The RHR interrupt is enabled by IER bit [0].

Normal Multidrop (9-bit) Mode
Normal multidrop mode is enabled when DLD[6] = 1 and EFR[5] = 0 (Special Character Detect disabled). The
receiver is set to Force Parity 0 (LCR[5:3] = ’111’) in order to detect address bytes.
With the receiver initially disabled (MSR[2] = 1), 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 an LSR interrupt and place the address byte in the RX FIFO. The software then examines the byte
and enables the receiver if the address matches its slave address, otherwise, it does not enable the receiver.
If the receiver has been enabled, the receiver will receive the subsequent data. If an address byte is received,
it will generate an LSR interrupt. The software again examines the byte and if the address matches its slave
address, it does not have to do anything. If the address does not match its slave address, then the receiver
should be disabled.
3.7.4
Auto Address Detection Mode
Auto address detection mode is enabled when DLD[6] = 1 and EFR bit-5 = 1 (Special Character Detect
enabled). The receiver is set to Force Parity 0 (LCR[5:3] = ’111’) in order to detect address bytes. The desired
slave address will need to be written into the XOFF2 register. The receiver will monitor all incoming address
bytes and compare with 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
the 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 an LSR interrupt. The receiver will then receive
the subsequent data. If another address byte is received and this address does not match the programmed
XOFF2 character, then the receiver will automatically be disabled and all subsequent data is ignored until there
is another address byte match with XOFF2.

Baud Rate Generator Divisors (DLM, DLL and DLD)
DLM[7:0], DLL[7:0] and DLD[3:0]
The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) generates the data rate for the transmitter and receiver. The rate is
programmed through registers DLM, DLL and DLD which are only accessible when LCR bit [7] is set to logic 1.
Refer to “Section 3.1, Programmable Baud Rate Generator with Fractional Divisor” on page 34 for more
details.
DLD[7]: RS-485 Polarity

• Logic 1 = The Auto RS-485 Half-duplex direction control pin will be LOW for TX and HIGH for RX.
DLD[6]: Multi-drop Mode
• Logic 0 = Normal mode.
• Logic 1 = Enable Multi-drop mode.
DLD[5]: XON/XOFF Parity Check
• Logic 0 = XON/XOFF characters are valid flow control characters even if they have parity errors.
• Logic 1 = XON/XOFF characters are not valid flow control characters if they have parity errors.
DLD[4]: Fast IR Mode
• Logic 0 = If IR mode is enabled, IR pulsewidth will be 3/16th of bit time.
• Logic 1 = If IR mode is enabled, IR pulsewidth will be 1/4th of bit time.
4.4
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) and also
encoded in INT (INT0-INT3) register in the Device Configuration Registers.
4.4.1
IER versus Receive FIFO Interrupt Mode Operation
When the receive FIFO (FCR bit [0] = logic 1) and receive interrupts (IER bit [0] = logic 1) are enabled, the
RHR interrupts (see ISR bits [4:3]) status will reflect the following:
A. The receive data available interrupts are issued to the host when the FIFO has reached the programmed
trigger level. It will be cleared when the FIFO drops below the programmed trigger level.
B. FIFO level will be reflected in the ISR register when the FIFO trigger level is reached. Both the ISR register
status bit and the interrupt will be cleared when the FIFO drops below the trigger level.
C. The receive data ready bit (LSR bit [0]) is set as soon as a character is transferred from the shift register to
the receive FIFO. It is reset when the FIFO is empty.

IER versus Receive/Transmit FIFO Polled Mode Operation
When FCR bit [0] equals a logic 1 for FIFO enable; resetting IER bits [3:0] enables the XR16V358 in the FIFO
polled mode of operation. Since the receiver and transmitter have separate bits in the LSR either can be used
in the polled mode by selecting respective transmit or receive control bit(s).
A. LSR BIT-0 indicates there is data in RHR (non-FIFO mode) or RX FIFO (FIFO mode).
B. LSR BIT-1 indicates an overrun error has occurred and that data in the FIFO may not be valid.
C. LSR BIT 2-4 provides the type of receive data errors encountered for the data byte in RHR, if any.
D. LSR BIT-5 indicates THR (non-FIFO mode) or TX FIFO (FIFO mode) is empty.
E. LSR BIT-6 indicates when both the transmit FIFO and TSR are empty.
F. LSR BIT-7 indicates a data error in at least one character in the RX FIFO.
IER[7]: CTS# Input Interrupt Enable (requires EFR bit [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.
IER[6]: RTS# Output Interrupt Enable (requires EFR bit [4]=1)
• Logic 0 = Disable the RTS# interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the RTS# interrupt. The UART issues an interrupt when RTS# pin makes a transition from
LOW to HIGH.
IER[5]: Xoff Interrupt Enable (requires EFR bit [4]=1)
• Logic 0 = Disable the software flow control, receive Xoff interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the software flow control, receive Xoff interrupt. See Software Flow Control section for
details.
IER[4]: Reserved
IER[3]: Modem Status Interrupt Enable
The Modem Status Register interrupt is issued whenever any of the delta bits of the MSR register (bits [3:0]) is
set.
• Logic 0 = Disable the modem status register interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the modem status register interrupt.
IER[2]: Receive Line Status Interrupt Enable
An Overrun error, Framing error, Parity error or detection of a Break character will result in an LSR interrupt.
The V358 will issue an LSR interrupt immediately after receiving a character with an error. It will again re-issue
the interrupt (if the first one has been cleared by reading the LSR register) when the character with the error is
on the top of the FIFO, meaning the next one to be read out of the FIFO.
For example, let’s consider an incoming data stream of 0x55, 0xAA, etc. and that the character 0xAA has a
Parity error associated with it. Let’s assume that the character 0x55 has not been read out of the FIFO yet. The
V358v358 will issue an interrupt as soon as the stop bit of the character 0xAA is received. The LSR register will
have only the FIFO error bit (bit [7]) set and none of the other error bits (bits [4:1]) will be set, since the byte on
the top of the FIFO is 0x55 which does not have any errors associated with it. When this byte has been read
out, the V358 will issue another LSR interrupt and this time the LSR register will show the Parity bit (bit [2]) set.
• Logic 0 = Disable the receiver line status interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the receiver line status interrupt.

IER[1]: TX Ready Interrupt Enable
In non-FIFO mode, a TX interrupt is issued whenever the THR is empty. In the FIFO mode, an interrupt is
issued twice: once when the number of bytes in the TX FIFO falls below the programmed trigger level and
again when the TX FIFO becomes empty. When autoRS485 mode is enabled (FCTR bit [5] = 1), the second
interrupt is delayed until the transmitter (both the TX FIFO and the TX Shift Register) is empty.
• Logic 0= Disable Transmit Ready Interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable Transmit Ready Interrupt.
IER[0]: RX 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.
4.5
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 queue up for next
service. No other interrupts are acknowledged until the pending interrupt is serviced. The Interrupt Source
Table, Table 15, shows the data values (bit [5:0]) for the six prioritized interrupt levels and the interrupt sources
associated with each of these interrupt levels.
4.5.1
Interrupt Generation:
• LSR is by any of the LSR bits [4:1]. See IER bit [2] description on the previous page.
• RXRDY is by RX trigger level.
• RXRDY Time-out is by a 4-char plus 12 bits delay timer.
• TXRDY is by TX trigger level or TX FIFO empty (or transmitter empty in auto RS-485 control).
• MSR is by any of the MSR bits [3:0].
• Receive Xoff/Xon/Special character is by detection of a Xoff, Xon or Special character.
• CTS#/DSR# is when its transmitter toggles the input pin (from LOW to HIGH) during auto CTS/DSR flow
control enabled by EFR bit [7] and selection on MCR bit [2].
• RTS#/DTR# is when its receiver toggles the output pin (from LOW to HIGH) during auto RTS/DTR flow
control enabled by EFR bit [6] and selection on MCR bit [2].
• Wake-up indicator is when the UART wakes up from the sleep mode.
4.5.2
Interrupt Clearing:
• LSR interrupt is cleared by a read to the LSR register.
• RXRDY interrupt is cleared by reading data until FIFO falls below the trigger level.
• RXRDY Time-out interrupt is cleared by reading RHR.
• TXRDY interrupt is cleared by a read to the ISR register or writing to THR.
• MSR interrupt is cleared by a read to the MSR register.
• Xoff/Xon interrupt is cleared by reading ISR.
• Special character interrupt is cleared by a read to ISR.
• RTS#/DTR# and CTS#/DSR# status change interrupts are cleared by a read to the MSR register.

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[7:6]: Receive FIFO Trigger Select
(logic 0 = default, RX trigger level =1)
The FCTR bits [5:4] are associated with these 2 bits. These 2 bits are used to set the trigger level for the
receive FIFO. The UART will issue a receive interrupt when the number of the characters in the FIFO crosses
the trigger level. Table 16 shows the complete selections. Note that the receiver and the transmitter cannot use
different trigger tables. Whichever selection is made last applies to both the RX and TX side.
FCR[5:4]: Transmit FIFO Trigger Select (requires EFR bit [4]=1)
(logic 0 = default, TX trigger level = 1)
The FCTR bits [7:6] are associated with these 2 bits by selecting one of the four tables. The 4 user selectable
trigger levels in 4 tables are supported for compatibility reasons. These 2 bits set the trigger level for the
transmit FIFO interrupt. The UART will issue a transmit interrupt when the number of characters in the FIFO
falls below the selected trigger level, or when it gets empty in case that the FIFO did not get filled over the
trigger level on last re-load. Table 16 below shows the selections.

MCR[7]: Clock Prescaler Select (requires EFR bit [4]=1)
• Logic 0 = Divide by one. The internal 125MHz clock (master) or 62.5MHz clock (slave) 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 internal 125MHz clock (master) or 62.5MHz clock (slave)
by 4 and feeds it to the Programmable Baud Rate Generator, hence, data rates become one forth.
MCR[6]: Infrared Encoder/Decoder Enable (requires EFR bit [4]=1)
The state of this bit depends on the sampled logic level of pin ENIR during power up, following a hardware
reset (rising edge of RST# input). Afterward user can override this bit for desired operation.
• Logic 0 = Enable the standard modem receive and transmit character interface.
• Logic 1 = Enable infrared IrDA receive and transmit inputs/outputs. While in this mode, the TX/RX output/
input are routed to the infrared encoder/decoder. The data input and output levels will conform to the IrDA
infrared interface requirement. As such, while in this mode the infrared TX output will be a LOW during idle
data conditions. FCTR bit [4] may be selected to invert the RX input signal level going to the decoder for
infrared modules that provide rather an inverted output. For exact 3/16 or 1/4 bit wide pulse, the 16X
sampling rate must be used and DLD[3:0] = ’0000’. If DLD[3:0] is not ’0000’, the pulse width can vary.
MCR[5]: Xon-Any Enable (requires EFR bit [4]=1)
• Logic 0 = Disable Xon-Any function (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable Xon-Any function. In this mode any RX character received will enable Xon, resume data
transmission.
MCR[4]: Internal Loopback Enable
• Logic 1 = Disable loopback mode (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable local loopback mode, see loopback section and Figure 12.
MCR[3]: Send Char Immediate (OP2 in Local Loopback Mode)
This bit is used to transmit a character immediately irrespective of the bytes currently in the transmit FIFO. The
data byte must be loaded into the transmit holding register (THR) immediately following the write to this bit (to
set it to a ’1’). In other words, no other register must be accessed between setting this bit and writing to the
THR. The loaded byte will be transmitted ahead of all the bytes in the TX FIFO, immediately after the character
currently being shifted out of the transmit shift register is sent out. The existing line parameters (parity, stop
bits) will be used when composing the character. This bit is self clearing, therefore, must be set before sending
a custom character each time. Please note that the Transmitter must be enabled for this function (MSR[3] = 0).
Also, if software flow control is enabled, the software flow control characters (Xon, Xoff) have higher priority
and will get shifted out before the custom byte is transmitted.
• Logic 0 = Send Char Immediate disabled (default).
• Logic 1 = Send Char Immediate enabled.
In Local Loopback Mode (MCR[4] = 1), this bit acts as the legacy OP2 output and controls the CD bit in the
MSR register as shown in Figure 12. Please make sure that this bit is a ’0’ when exiting the Local Loopback
Mode.

• Logic 0 = Uses RTS# and CTS# pins for auto hardware flow control.
• Logic 1 = Uses DTR# and DSR# pins for auto hardware flow control.

MCR[0]: DTR# Output
The DTR# pin may be used for automatic hardware flow control enabled by EFR bit [6] and MCR bit [2]=1. If

• Logic 1 = An indicator for the sum of all error bits in the RX FIFO. At least one parity error, framing error or
break indication is in the FIFO data. This bit clears when there are no more errors in the FIFO.
LSR[6]: Transmitter Empty Flag
This bit is the Transmitter Empty indicator. This bit is set to a logic 1 whenever both the transmit FIFO (or THR,
in non-FIFO mode) and the transmit shift register (TSR) are both empty. It is set to logic 0 whenever either the
TX FIFO or TSR contains a data character.
LSR[5]: Transmit FIFO Empty Flag
This bit is the Transmit FIFO Empty indicator. This bit indicates that the transmitter is ready to accept a new
character for transmission. This bit is set to a logic HIGH when the last data byte is transferred from the
transmit FIFO to the transmit shift register. The bit is reset to logic 0 as soon as a data byte is loaded into the
transmit FIFO. In the non-FIFO mode this bit is set when the transmit holding register (THR) is empty; it is
cleared when at a byte is written to the THR.
LSR[4]: Receive Break Flag
• Logic 0 = No break condition (default).
• Logic 1 = The receiver received a break signal (RX was LOW for 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 HIGH.

LSR[3]: Receive Data Framing Error Flag
• Logic 0 = No framing error (default).
• Logic 1 = Framing error. The receive character did not have a valid stop bit(s). This error is associated with
the character available for reading in RHR.
LSR[2]: Receive Data Parity Error Flag
• Logic 0 = No parity error (default).
• Logic 1 = Parity error. The receive character in RHR (top of the FIFO) does not have correct parity
information and is suspect. This error is associated with the character available for reading in RHR.
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[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.

Modem Status Register (MSR) - Read Only
This register provides the current state of the modem interface signals, or other peripheral device that the
UART is connected. Lower four bits of this register are used to indicate the changed information. These bits
are set to a logic 1 whenever a signal from the modem changes state. These bits may be used as general
purpose inputs/outputs when they are not used with modem signals.
MSR[7]: CD Input Status
Normally this bit is the complement 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.
MSR[6]: RI Input Status
Normally this bit is the complement of the RI# input. In the loopback mode this bit is equivalent to bit [2] in the
MCR register. The RI# input may be used as a general purpose input when the modem interface is not used.
MSR[5]: DSR Input Status
DSR# pin may function as automatic hardware flow control signal input if it is enabled and selected by Auto
CTS/DSR bit (EFR bit [6]=1) and RTS/DTR flow control select bit (MCR bit [2]=1). Auto CTS/DSR flow control
allows starting and stopping of local data transmissions based on the modem DSR# signal. A HIGH on the
DSR# pin will stop UART transmitter as soon as the current character has finished transmission, and a LOW
will resume data transmission. Normally MSR bit [5] is the complement of the DSR# input. However 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[4]: CTS Input Status
CTS# pin may function as automatic hardware flow control signal input if it is enabled and selected by Auto
CTS/DSR bit (EFR bit [6]=1) and RTS/DTR flow control select bit (MCR bit [2]=0). Auto CTS/DSR flow control
allows starting and stopping of local data transmissions based on the modem CTS# signal. A HIGH on the
CTS# pin will stop UART transmitter as soon as the current character has finished transmission, and a LOW
will resume data transmission. Normally MSR bit [4] is the complement of the CTS# input. However in the
loopback mode, this bit is equivalent to the RTS# bit in the MCR register. The CTS# input may be used as a
general purpose input when the modem interface is not used.

MSR[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[2]: Delta RI# Input Flag
• Logic 0 = No change on RI# input (default).
• Logic 1 = The RI# input has changed from a LOW to a HIGH, ending of the ringing signal. A modem status

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[0]: Delta CTS# Input Flag

• 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]).
4.11
Modem Status Register (MSR) - Write Only
The upper four bits [7:4] of this register set the delay in number of bits time for the auto RS-485 turn around
from transmit to receive.
MSR [7:4]: Auto RS485 Turn-Around Delay (requires EFR bit [4]=1)
When Auto RS485 feature is enabled (FCTR bit [5]=1) and RTS#/DTR# output is connected to the enable input
of a RS-485 transceiver. These 4 bits select from 0 to 15 bit-time delay after the end of the last stop-bit of the
last transmitted character. This delay controls when to change the state of RTS#/DTR# output. This delay is
very useful in long-cable networks. Table 18 shows the selection. The bits are enabled by EFR bit-4.

MSR [3]: Transmitter Disable
This bit can be used to disable the transmitter by halting the Transmit Shift Register (TSR). When this bit is set
to a logic 1, the bytes already in the FIFO will not be sent out. Also, any more data loaded into the FIFO will
stay in the FIFO and will not be sent out. When this bit is set to a logic 0, the bytes currently in the TX FIFO will
be sent out. Please note that setting this bit to a logic 1 stops any character from going out. Also, this bit must
be a logic 0 for the Send Char Immediate function (see MCR[3]).
• Logic 0 = Enable Transmitter (default).
• Logic 1 = Disable Transmitter.

MSR [2]: Receiver Disable
This bit can be used to disable the receiver by halting the Receive Shift Register (RSR). When this bit is set to
a logic 1, the receiver will operate in one of the following ways:
■
If a character is being received at the time of setting this bit, that character will be correctly received. No
more characters will be received.
■
If the receiver is idle at the time of setting this bit, no more characters will be received.
The receiver can be enabled and will start receiving characters by resetting this bit to a logic 0. The receiver
will operate in one of the following ways:
■
If the receiver is idle (RX pin is HIGH) at the time of setting this bit, the next character will be received
normally. It is recommended that the receiver be idle when resetting this bit to a logic 0.
■
If the receiver is not idle (RX pin is toggling) at the time of setting this bit, the RX FIFO will be filled with
unknown data.
Any data that is in the RX FIFO can be read out at any time whether the receiver is disabled or not.
• Logic 0 = Enable Receiver (default).
• Logic 1 = Disable Receiver.
MSR [1]: Transmitter Disable Modes
This bit is only applicable when MSR[3] = 1.
• Logic 0 = No xon/xoff software flow control characters will be transmitted when the transmitter is disabled. If
there is a pending xon/xoff character to be sent while the transmitter is disabled, it will be transmitted. No
additional xon/xoff characters will be sent.
• Logic 1 = Xon/xoff software flow control characters will be transmitted even though the transmitter is
disabled.
MSR[0]: Receiver Disable Modes
This is only applicable when MSR[2] = 1.
• Logic 0 = All RX data and xon/xoff flow control characters are ignored.
• Logic 1 = All RX data is ignored. Xon/xoff flow control characters are detected and acted upon.
4.12
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.
4.13
FEATURE CONTROL REGISTER (FCTR) - Read/Write
This register controls the UART enhanced functions that are not available on ST16C554 or ST16C654.
FCTR[7:6]: TX and RX FIFO Trigger Table Select
These 2 bits select the transmit and receive FIFO trigger level table A, B, C or D. When table A, B, or C is
selected the auto RTS flow control trigger level is set to "next FIFO trigger level" for compatibility to ST16C550
and ST16C650 series. RTS/DTR# triggers on the next level of the RX FIFO trigger level, in another word, one
FIFO level above and one FIFO level below. See in Table 16 for complete selection with FCR bit [5:4] and
FCTR bits [7:6], i.e. if Table C is used on the receiver with RX FIFO trigger level set to 56 bytes, RTS/DTR#
output will de-assert at 60 and re-assert at 16.

FCTR[5]: Auto RS485 Enable
Auto RS485 half duplex control enable/disable. RTS# or DTR# can be selected as the control output via MCR
bit-2. Note that this feature has precedence over the Auto RTS/DTR flow control feature (EFR bit-6).
Therefore, the Auto RTS/DTR flow control feature will not have any effect when the Auto RS485 Half-Duplex
Direction Control feature is enabled.
• Logic 0 = Standard ST16C550 mode. Transmitter generates an interrupt when transmit holding register
(THR) becomes empty. Transmit Shift Register (TSR) may still be shifting data bit out.
• Logic 1 = Enable Auto RS485 half duplex direction control. RTS#/DTR# output changes from HIGH to LOW
when finished sending the last stop bit of the last character out of the TSR register. It changes from LOW to
HIGH when a data byte is loaded into the THR or transmit FIFO. The change to HIGH occurs prior sending
the start-bit. It also changes the transmitter interrupt from transmit holding to transmit shift register (TSR)
empty. If software flow control is enabled, the RTS#/DTR# output will not change if the TX FIFO is empty
and the RX FIFO level generates an XON or XOFF character to be transmitted.
FCTR[4]: Infrared RX Input Logic Select
• Logic 0 = Select RX input as active HIGH encoded IrDA data, normal, (default).
• Logic 1 = Select RX input as active LOW encoded IrDA data, inverted.
FCTR [3:0] - Auto RTS/DTR Flow Control Hysteresis Select
These bits select the auto RTS/DTR flow control hysteresis and only valid when TX and RX Trigger Table-D is
selected (FCTR bit [7:6] are set to logic 1). The RTS/DTR hysteresis is referenced to the RX FIFO trigger level.
After reset, these bits are set to logic 0 selecting the next FIFO trigger level for hardware flow control. Table 19

Enhanced Feature Register (EFR) - Read/Write
Enhanced features are enabled or disabled using this register. Bits [3:0] provide single or dual consecutive
character software flow control selection (see Table 20). When the Xon1 and Xon2 and Xoff1 and Xoff2 modes
are selected, the double 8-bit words are concatenated into two sequential characters. Caution: note that
whenever changing the TX or RX flow control bits, always reset all bits back to logic 0 (disable) before
programming a new setting.
EFR[7]: Auto CTS Flow Control Enable
Automatic CTS or DSR Flow Control.
• Logic 0 = Automatic CTS/DSR flow control is disabled (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable Automatic CTS/DSR flow control. Transmission stops when CTS/DSR# pin de-asserts
(HIGH). Transmission resumes when CTS/DSR# pin is asserted (LOW). The selection for CTS# or DSR# is
through MCR bit [2].
EFR[6]: Auto RTS or DTR Flow Control Enable
RTS#/DTR# output may be used for hardware flow control by setting EFR bit [6] to logic 1. When Auto RTS/
DTR is selected, an interrupt will be generated when the receive FIFO is filled to the programmed trigger level
and RTS/DTR# will de-assert (HIGH) at the next upper trigger or selected hysteresis level. RTS/DTR# will reassert (LOW) when FIFO data falls below the next lower trigger or selected hysteresis level (see FCTR bits 47). The RTS# or DTR# output must be asserted (LOW) before the auto RTS/DTR can take effect. The selection
for RTS# or DTR# is through MCR bit [2]. RTS/DTR# pin will function as a general purpose output when
hardware flow control is disabled.
• Logic 0 = Automatic RTS/DTR flow control is disabled (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable Automatic RTS/DTR flow control.
EFR[5]: Special Character Detect Enable
• Logic 0 = Special Character Detect Disabled (default).
• Logic 1 = Special Character Detect Enabled. The UART compares each incoming receive character with
data in Xoff-2 register. If a match exists, the received data will be transferred to FIFO and ISR bit [4] will be
set to indicate detection of the special character. bit [0] corresponds with the LSB bit for the receive
character. If flow control is set for comparing Xon1, Xoff1 (EFR [1:0]=10) then flow control and special
character work normally. However, if flow control is set for comparing Xon2, Xoff2 (EFR[1:0]=01) then flow
control works normally, but Xoff2 will not go to the FIFO, and will generate an Xoff interrupt and a special
character interrupt.
EFR[4]: Enhanced Function Bits Enable
Enhanced function control bit. This bit enables the enhanced functions in IER bits [7:5], ISR bits [5:4], FCR
bits [5:4], MCR bits [7:5] and MSR [7:0] bits 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 0 = Disable write access to the enhanced function bits: IER bits [7:5], ISR bits [5:4], FCR bits [5:4],
MCR bits [7:5] and MSR [7:0] bits. After a reset, all these bits are set to a logic 0 to be compatible with
ST16C550 mode (default).
• Logic 1 = Enables write access to the enhanced function bits: IER bits [7:5], ISR bits [5:4], FCR bits [5:4],
MCR bits [7:5] and MSR [7:0] bits.

Software flow control can not be used when the Auto RS-485 Half-Duplex Direction Control feature is enabled
(FCTR[5]=1). With this feature enabled, the RTS#/DTR# output controls the direction of the half-duplex RS485 transceiver. The RTS#/DTR# output changes the direction of the half-duplex transceiver to the transmit
mode when data is being transmitted from the UART on the TX output. However, the RTS#/DTR# output will
remain in the receive direction if the TX FIFO is empty and the RX FIFO triggers an XON or XOFF character to
be transmitted.

The user can take advantage of the FIFO level byte counter for faster data loading to the transmit FIFO, which
reduces CPU bandwidth requirements.
4.16
TXTRG [7:0]: Transmit FIFO Trigger Level - Write Only
An 8-bit value written to this register sets the TX FIFO trigger level from 0x00 (zero) to 0xFF (255). The TX
