SINGLE CHANNEL INTEGRATED UART AND RS-485 TRANSCEIVER
JULY 2009
REV. 1.0.3
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
APPLICATIONS
The XR19L400 (L400) is a highly integrated device that
combines a full-featured single channel Universal
Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) and RS485 transceivers. The L400 is designed to operate with a
single 3.3V or 5V power supply. The L400 is fully compliant
with RS-485 Standards.
The L400 operates in four different modes: Active, Partial
Sleep, Full Sleep and Power-Save. Each mode can be
invoked via hardware or software. Upon power-up, the
L400 is in the Active mode where the UART and RS-485
transceiver function normally. In the Partial Sleep mode, the
internal crystal oscillator of the UART or charge pump of the
RS-485 transceiver is turned off. In Full Sleep mode, both
the crystal oscillator and the charge pump are turned off.
While the UART is in the Sleep mode, the Power-Save
mode isolates the core logic from the control signals (chip
select, read/write strobes, address and data bus lines) to
minimize the power consumption. The RS-485 receivers
remain active in any of these four modes.

1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The XR19L400 consists of a single channel UART and RS-485 transceivers. It operates from a single +3.3V or
5V supply with data rates up to 8Mbps, while meeting all EIA/TIA-485 specifications. The configuration register
set is 16550 UART compatible for control, status and data transfer. Also, the L400 has 64-bytes of transmit and
receive FIFOs, automatic Xon/Xoff software flow control, transmit and receive FIFO trigger levels, and a
programmable fractional baud rate generator with a prescaler of divide by 1 or 4. Additionally, the L400
includes the ACP pin which the user can shut down the charge pump for the RS-485 drivers (when operating at
3.3V). In the UART portion, the Power-Save feature isolates the databus interface to further reduce power
consumption in the Sleep mode. The L400 is fabricated using an advanced CMOS process.
Enhanced Features
The L400 UART provides a solution that supports 64 bytes of transmit and receive FIFO. Increased
performance is realized in the L400 by the transmit and receive FIFOs, FIFO trigger level controls and
automatic flow control mechanism. This allows the external processor to handle more networking tasks within
a given time. 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 L400 provides the ACP and PowerSave modes that drastically reduces the power consumption when the device is not used. The combination of
the above greatly reduces the CPU’s bandwidth requirement, increases performance, and reduces power
consumption.
Intel or Motorola Data Bus Interface
The L400 provides a host interface that supports Intel or Motorola microprocessor (CPU) data bus interface.
The Intel bus compatible interface allows direct interconnect to Intel compatible type of CPUs using IOR#,
IOW# and CS# inputs for data bus operation. The Motorola bus compatible interface instead uses the R/W#
and CS# signals for data bus transactions. See pin description section for details on all the control signals. The
Intel and Motorola bus interface selection is made through the pin, I/M#.
Data Rate
The L400 is capable of operation up to 8 Mbps data rate. The device can operate either with a crystal on pins
XTAL1 and XTAL2, or external clock source on XTAL1 pin.
Internal Enhanced Register Sets
The L400 UART has a set of enhanced registers providing control and monitoring functions. Interrupt enable/
disable and status, FIFO enable/disable, selectable TX and RX FIFO trigger levels, automatic hardware/
software flow control enable/disable, programmable baud rates, modem interface controls and status, sleep
mode and infrared mode are all standard features.
RS-485 Interface
The L400 includes RS-485 drivers/receivers for the interface. This feature eliminates the need for an external
RS-485 transceiver. The RS-485 transceiver can be selected to operate in either the half-duplex or full-duplex
mode upon power-up via the HALF/FULL# pin. The RS-485 drivers guarantee a data rate of up to 8 Mbps.
All RS-485 drivers and receivers are protected to ±15kV using the Human Body Model ground combination,
±8kV using IEC 61000-4-2 Contact Discharge, and ±15kV using IEC 61000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge. For more

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 L400 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#, IOR# and IOW# or R/W# inputs. A typical data bus
interconnection for Intel and Motorola mode is shown in Figure 4.

5-Volt Tolerant Inputs
The CMOS/TTL level inputs of the L400 can accept up to 5V inputs when operating at 3.3V. Note that the
XTAL1 pin is not 5V tolerant when an external clock supply is used.
2.3
Device Hardware Reset
The RESET or RESET# input resets the internal registers and the serial interface outputs in both channels to
their default state (see Table 14). An active pulse of longer than 40 ns duration will be required to activate the
reset function in the device.
2.4
Device Identification and Revision
The XR19L400 provides a Device Identification code and a Device Revision code to distinguish the part from
other devices and revisions. To read the identification code from the part, it is required to set the baud rate
generator registers DLL and DLM both to 0x00. Now reading the content of the DLM will provide 0x01 and
reading the content of DLL will provide the revision of the part; for example, a reading of 0x01 means revision
A.
2.5
Channel Internal Registers
Each UART channel in the L400 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 and dual ST16C2550. 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 an user accessible Scratchpad register (SPR).
Beyond the general 16C2550 features and capabilities, the L400 offers enhanced feature registers, namely,
EFR, Xon/Xoff 1, Xon/Xoff 2, FCTR, TRG, EMSR and FC that provide Xon/Xoff software flow control, FIFO
trigger level control and FIFO level counters. All the register functions are discussed in full detail later in
“Section 3.0, UART Internal Registers” on page 20.
2.6
INT (IRQ#) Output
The interrupt output changes according to the operating mode and enhanced features setup. Table 1 and
Table 2 below summarize the operating behavior for the transmitter and receiver in the Intel and Motorola
modes. Also see Figures 18 through 21.

SINGLE CHANNEL INTEGRATED UART AND RS-485 TRANSCEIVER
Crystal or External Clock Input
The L400 includes an on-chip oscillator (XTAL1 and XTAL2) to generate a clock when a crystal is connected
between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins of the device. Alternatively, an external clock can be supplied through the
XTAL1 pin. 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 input and XTAL2 pin is the bufferred output which can be used as a clock signal for
other devices in the system. Please note that the input XTAL1 is not 5V tolerant and therefore, the maximum
voltage at the pin should be 3.3V when an external clock is supplied. For programming details, see
“Programmable Baud Rate Generator.”

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. When VCC = 5V, the on-chip oscillator
can operate with a crystal whose frequency is not greater than 24 MHz. On the other hand, the L400 can
accept an external clock of up to 64 MHz at XTAL1 pin which results in a maximum data rate of 8 Mbps. For
further reading on the oscillator circuit please see DAN108 on EXAR’s web site at http://www.exar.com.
2.8
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 input crystal or external clock 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 or 8X sampling clock of the serial data rate. The sampling clock is used by the transmitter for data
bit shifting and receiver for data sampling. The BRG divisor (DLL, DLM and DLD registers) defaults to the value
of ’1’ (DLL = 0x01, DLM = 0x00 and DLD = 0x00) upon reset. Therefore, the BRG must be programmed during
initialization to the operating data rate. The DLL and DLM registers provide the integer part of the divisor and
the DLD register provides the fractional part of the dvisior. 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 3 shows the standard data rates available with a 24MHz crystal or external 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 3. At
8X sampling rate, these data rates would double. Also, when using 8X sampling mode, please note that the bit-
9

REV. 1.0.3
time will have a jitter (+/- 1/16) whenever the DLD is non-zero and is an odd number. When using a nonstandard data rate crystal or external clock, the divisor value can be calculated with the following equation(s):
Required Divisor (decimal) = (XTAL1 clock frequency / prescaler) / (serial data rate x 16), with 16X mode EMSR[7] = 1
Required Divisor (decimal) = (XTAL1 clock frequency / prescaler / (serial data rate x 8), with 8X mode EMSR[7] = 0
The closest divisor that is obtainable in the L400 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.
A >> B indicates right shifting the value ’A’ by ’B’ number of bits. For example, 0x78A3 >> 8 = 0x0078.

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/8X internal
clock. A bit time is 16 (8) clock periods (see EMSR bit-7). 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.
2.9.2
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 64 bytes of transmit data. The THR empty flag (LSR bit-5) is set
whenever the FIFO is empty. The THR empty flag can generate a transmit empty interrupt (ISR bit-1) when the
amount of data in the FIFO falls below its programmed trigger level. The transmit empty interrupt is enabled by
IER bit-1. The Transmitter Empty Flag (LSR bit-6) is set when both the TSR and the FIFO become 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/8X clock (EMSR bit-7) 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 clock rate. After 8 clocks (or 4 if 8X) 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.

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 Xon/Xoff (Software) Flow Control
When software flow control is enabled (See Table 13), the L400 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 L400 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 L400 will monitor the
receive data stream for a match to the Xon-1,2 character. If a match is found, the L400 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 13) and suspend/resume transmissions. When double 8-bit Xon/Xoff characters
are selected, the L400 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 L400 automatically
sends an Xoff message (when enabled) via the serial TX output to the remote modem. The L400 sends the
Xoff-1,2 characters two-character-times (= time taken to send two characters at the programmed baud rate)
after the receive FIFO crosses the programmed trigger level (for all trigger tables A-D). To clear this condition,
the L400 will transmit the programmed Xon-1,2 characters as soon as receive FIFO is less than one trigger
level below the programmed trigger level (for Trigger Tables A, B, and C) or when receive FIFO is less than the
14

Sleep Mode, ACP Mode and Power-Save Feature with Wake-Up Interrupt
2.12.1
UART sleep mode (3.3V or 5V operation)
The UART portion in the L400 can enter sleep mode if all of these conditions are satisfied:
■
no interrupts pending (ISR bit-0 = 1)
■
the 16-bit divisor programmed in DLM and DLL registers is a non-zero value
■
sleep mode is enabled (IER bit-4 = 1)
■
modem inputs are not toggling (MSR bits 0-3 = 0)
■
RX input pins are idle
The L400 stops its crystal oscillator to conserve power in this mode. The user can check the XTAL2 pin for no
clock output as an indication that the device has entered the partial sleep mode.
The UART portion in the L400 resumes normal operation or active mode by any of the following:
■
a receive data start bit transition on the RX inputs
■
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: i.e., any of the MSR bits 03 shows a ’1’ (in internal loopback mode)
If the sleep mode is enabled and the L400 is awakened by one of the conditions described above, an interrupt
is issued by the L400 to signal to the CPU that it is awake. The lower nibble of the interrupt source register
(ISR) will read a value of 0x1 for this interrupt and reading the ISR clears this interrupt. Since the same value
(0x1) is also used to indicate no pending interrupt, users should exercise caution while using the sleep mode.
The UART portion in the L400 will return to the sleep mode automatically after all interrupting conditions have
been serviced and cleared. If the UART portion of the L400 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. The UART portion of the L400 will stay in the sleep mode of operation until it is disabled by setting
IER bit-4 to a logic 0.
2.12.1.1
Receiving data in UART sleep mode
There is a start-up delay for the crystal oscillator after waking up from sleep mode, therefore the first few
receive characters may be lost. The number of characters lost during the restart also depends on your
operating data rate. More characters are lost when operating at higher data rate. If an external oscillator is
used, any data received will be transferred to/from the UART without any issues.
2.12.2
UART active, Charge pump of RS-485 transceiver shut down (3.3V operation only)
If the ACP pin is HIGH and the UART portion of the L400 is not in sleep mode, then the charge pump will
automatically shut down to conserve power if the following conditions are true:
■
no activity on the TX output signals
■
modem inputs have been idle for approximately 30 seconds
When these conditions are satisfied, the L400 shuts down the charge pump and tri-states the RS-485 drivers
to conserve power. In this mode, the RS-485 receivers are fully active and the internal registers of the L400
can be accessed. The time for the charge pump to resume normal operation after exiting the sleep mode is
typically 45µs. It will wake up by any of the following:
■
a receive data start bit transition on the RX input (LOW to HIGH)
■
a data byte is loaded to the transmitter, THR or FIFO
■
a LOW to HIGH transition on any of the modem or general purpose serial inputs
Because the receivers are fully active when the charge pump is turned off, any data received will be transferred
to/from the UART without any issues.

UART sleep, Charge pump of RS-485 transceiver shut down (3.3V operation only)
If the ACP pin is HIGH and the UART portion of the L400 is in sleep mode, then the charge pump will shut
down immediately.
In this mode, the L400 shuts down the charge pump and tri-states the RS-485 drivers to conserve power. In
this mode, the RS-485 receivers are fully active and the internal registers of the L400 can be accessed. The
time for the charge pump to resume normal operation after exiting the sleep mode is typically 45µs. It will wake
up by any of the following:
■
a receive data start bit transition on the RX input (LOW to HIGH)
■
a data byte is loaded to the transmitter, THR or FIFO
■
a LOW to HIGH transition on any of the modem or general purpose serial inputs
2.12.3.1
Receiving data in UART sleep mode
There is a start-up delay for the crystal oscillator after waking up from sleep mode, therefore the first few
receive characters may be lost. The number of characters lost during the restart also depends on your
operating data rate. More characters are lost when operating at higher data rate. If an external oscillator is
used, any data received will be transferred to/from the UART without any issues.
2.12.3.2
Transmitting data in ACP mode
Since it takes the charge pump typically 45µs to resume normal operation after ACP mode has been disabled.
It is recommended that data not be transmitted until after this time.
2.12.4
Power-Save Feature
This mode is in addition to the sleep mode and in this mode, the core logic of the L400 is isolated from the CPU
interface. If the address lines, data bus lines, IOW#, IOR# and CS# remain steady when the L400 is in full
sleep mode, the maximum current will be in the microamp range as specified in the DC Electrical
Characteristics on page 37. However, if the input lines are floating or are toggling while the L400 is in sleep
mode, the current can be up to 100 times more. If not using the Power-Save feature, an external buffer would
be required to keep the address and data bus lines from toggling or floating to achieve the low current. But if
the Power-Save feature is enabled (PwrSave pin connected to VCC), this will eliminate the need for an
external buffer by internally isolating the address, data and control signals from other bus activities that could
cause wasteful power drain (see Figure 1). The L400 enters Power-Save mode when this pin is connected to
VCC, and the UART portion of the L400 is already in sleep mode.
Since Power-Save mode isolates the address, data and control signals, the device will wake-up only by:
■
a receive data start bit transition, or
■
a change of logic state on any of the modem or general purpose serial inputs: i.e., any of the MSR bits 03 shows a ’1’
The L400 will return to the Power-Save mode automatically after a read to the MSR (to reset the modem
inputs) and all interrupting conditions have been serviced and cleared. The L400 will stay in the Power-Save
mode of operation until it is disabled by setting IER bit-4 to a logic 0 and/or the Power-Save pin is connected to
GND.
If the L400 is awakened by any one of the above conditions, it issues an interrupt as soon as the oscillator
circuit is up and running and the device is ready to transmit/receive. This interrupt has the same encoding (bit0 of ISR register = 1) as "no interrupt pending" and will clear when the ISR register is read. This will show up in
the ISR register only if no other interrupts are enabled.

Internal Loopback
The L400 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 11 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.

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:
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.
4.3.2
IER versus Receive/Transmit FIFO Polled Mode Operation
When FCR BIT-0 equals a logic 1 for FIFO enable; resetting IER bits 0-3 enables the XR19L400 in the FIFO
polled mode of operation. Since the receiver and transmitter have separate bits in the LSR either or both can
be used in the polled mode by selecting respective transmit or receive control bit(s).
A. LSR BIT-0 indicates there is data in RHR or RX FIFO.
B. LSR BIT-1 indicates an overrun error has occurred and that data in the FIFO may not be valid.
C. LSR 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 is empty.
E. LSR BIT-6 indicates when both the transmit FIFO and TSR are empty.
F. LSR BIT-7 indicates a data error in at least one character in the RX FIFO.
IER[0]: RHR Interrupt Enable
The receive data ready interrupt will be issued when RHR has a data character in the non-FIFO mode or when
the receive FIFO has reached the programmed trigger level in the FIFO mode.
• 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 the
character has been received. LSR bits 2-4 generate an interrupt when the character with errors is read out of
the FIFO (default). Instead, LSR bits 2-4 can be programmed to generate an interrupt immediately, by setting
EMSR bit-6 to a logic 1.
• 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.

• Logic 1 = Enable the software flow control, receive Xoff interrupt. See Software Flow Control section for
details.
IER[7:6]: Reserved
For normal operation, these bits should remain at logic 0.
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 7, 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 (or transmitter empty in auto half-duplex control).
• MSR is by any of the MSR bits 0, 1, 2 and 3.
• Receive Xoff is by detection of a Xoff character.
• Wake-up Indicator is when the UART comes out of sleep mode.
4.4.2
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 interrupt is cleared by a read to ISR or when Xon character(s) is received.
• Wake-up Indicator is cleared by a read to the ISR register.

FCR[5:4]: Transmit FIFO Trigger Select (requires EFR bit-4=1)
(logic 0 = default, TX trigger level = 1)
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 8 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)
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 8 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.

LCR[3]: TX and RX Parity Select
Parity or no parity can be selected via this bit. The parity bit is a simple way used in communications for data
integrity check. See Table 9 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[5]: TX and RX Parity Select
If the parity bit is enabled, LCR BIT-5 selects the forced parity format.
• LCR BIT-5 = logic 0, parity is not forced (default).
• LCR BIT-5 = logic 1 and LCR BIT-4 = logic 0, parity bit is forced to a logical 1 for the transmit and receive
data.
• LCR BIT-5 = logic 1 and LCR BIT-4 = logic 1, parity bit is forced to a logical 0 for the transmit and receive
data.

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
DTR# is not available as an output pin on the L400, but it is available for use during internal loopback mode. In
internal loopback mode, this bit is used to write the state of the DSR# interface signal.
• Logic 0 = Force DTR# output HIGH (default).
• Logic 1 = Force DTR# output LOW.
MCR[1]: RTS# Output
RTS# is not available as an output pin on the L400, but it is available for use during internal loopback mode. In
internal loopback mode, this bit is used to write the state of the CTS# interface signal. If half-duplex mode is
enabled via the Half/Full# pin or in is a modem control output and may be used for automatic hardware flow
control by enabled by EFR bit-6. The RTS# pin can also be used for Auto RS485 Half-Duplex direction control
enabled by FCTR bit-3. If the modem interface is not used, this output may be used as a general purpose
output.
• Logic 0 = Force RTS# HIGH (default).
• Logic 1 = Force RTS# LOW.
MCR[2]: Reserved
OP1# is not available as an output pin on the L400. 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.
MCR[3]: OP2# Output / INT Output Enable
This bit enables or disables the operation of INT, interrupt output. If INT output is not used, OP2# can be used
as a general purpose output. Also, if 16/68# pin selects Motorola bus interface mode, this bit must be set to
logic 0.
• Logic 0 = INT (A-B) outputs disabled (three state mode) and OP2# output set HIGH(default).
• Logic 1 = INT (A-B) outputs enabled (active mode) and OP2# output set LOW.
MCR[4]: Internal Loopback Enable
• Logic 0 = Disable loopback mode (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable local loopback mode, see loopback section and Figure 11.
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 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 L400 is programmed to use the Xon/Xoff flow control.
MCR[6]: Reserved
For normal operation, this bit should remain a logic 0.
MCR[7]: Clock Prescaler Select (requires EFR bit-4=1)
• 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.

Line Status Register (LSR) - Read Only
This register provides the status of data transfers between the UART and the host.
LSR[0]: Receive Data Ready Indicator
• Logic 0 = No data in receive holding register or FIFO (default).
• Logic 1 = Data has been received and is saved in the receive holding register or FIFO.
LSR[1]: Receiver Overrun Error 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 Error Tag
• Logic 0 = No break condition (default).
• Logic 1 = The receiver received a break signal (RX was LOW for at least one character frame time). In the
FIFO mode, only one break character is loaded into the FIFO.
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.

will be generated if MSR interrupt is enabled (IER bit-3).
MSR[1]: Delta DSR# Input Flag (Internal Loopback Mode Only)
• 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

• Logic 0 = No change on RI# input (default).
• Logic 1 = The RI# input has changed from a LOW to HIGH, 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 (Internal Loopback Mode Only)
• 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# is not available as an input pin on the L400, but it is available for use during internal loopback mode.
This bit is equivalent to the RTS# bit in the MCR register.
MSR[5]: DSR Input Status
CTS# is not available as an input pin on the L400, but it is available for use during internal loopback mode.
This bit is equivalent to the DTR# bit in the MCR register.
MSR[6]: RI Input Status
RI# is not available as an input pin on the L400, but it is available for use during internal loopback mode. This
bit is equivalent to bit-2 in the MCR register.
MSR[7]: CD Input Status
CD# is not available as an input pin on the L400, but it is available for use during internal loopback mode. This
bit is equivalent to bit-3 in the MCR register.

EMSR[7]: 16X Sampling Rate Mode
Logic 0 = 8X Sampling Rate.
Logic 1 = 16X Sampling Rate (default).
4.12
FIFO Level Register (FLVL) - Read-Only
The FIFO Level Register replaces the Scratchpad Register (during a Read) when FCTR[6] = 1. Note that this is
not identical to the FIFO Data Count Register which can be accessed when LCR = 0xBF.
FLVL[7:0]: FIFO Level Register
This register provides the FIFO counter level for the RX FIFO or the TX FIFO or both depending on EMSR[1:0].
See Table 10 for details.
4.13
Baud Rate Generator Registers (DLL, DLM and DLD) - Read/Write
These registers make-up the value of the baud rate divisor. The concatenation of the contents of DLM and
DLL is a 16-bit value is then added to DLD/16 to achieve the fractional baud rate divisor. DLD must be enabled
via EFR bit-4 before it can be accessed. SEE”PROGRAMMABLE BAUD RATE GENERATOR WITH
FRACTIONAL DIVISOR” ON PAGE 9.
4.14
Device Identification Register (DVID) - Read Only
This register contains the device ID (0x0A). Prior to reading this register, DLL and DLM should be set to 0x00
(DLD = 0xXX).
4.15
Device Revision Register (DREV) - Read Only
This register contains the device revision information. For example, 0x01 means revision A. Prior to reading
this register, DLL and DLM should be set to 0x00 (DLD = 0xXX).
4.16
Trigger Level Register (TRG) - Write-Only
User Programmable Transmit/Receive Trigger Level Register. If both the TX and RX trigger levels are used,
the TX trigger levels must be set before the RX trigger levels.
TRG[7:0]: Trigger Level Register
These bits are used to program desired trigger levels when trigger Table-D is selected. FCTR bit-7 selects
between programming the RX Trigger Level (a logic 0) and the TX Trigger Level (a logic 1).
4.17
RX/TX FIFO Level Count Register (FC) - Read-Only
This register is accessible when LCR = 0xBF. Note that this register is not identical to the FIFO Level Count
Register which is located in the general register set when FCTR bit-6 = 1 (Scratchpad Register Swap). It is
suggested to read the FIFO Level Count Register at the Scratchpad Register location when FCTR bit-6 = 1.
See Table 10.
FC[7:0]: RX/TX FIFO Level Count
Receive/Transmit FIFO Level Count. Number of characters in Receiver FIFO (FCTR[7] = 0) or Transmitter
FIFO (FCTR[7] = 1) can be read via this register. Reading this register is not recommended when transmitting
or receiving data.
4.18
Feature Control Register (FCTR) - Read/Write
FCTR[2:0]: Reserved
For normal operation, these bits should remain a logic 0.

FCTR[3]: Auto Half-Duplex Direction Control
This bit overrides the HALF/FULL# pin to enable half-duplex mode or full-duplex mode.
• Logic 0 = Full-duplex mode. In this mode, the transmit interrupt is generated when the transmit holding
register becomes empty and the transmit shift register is shifting data out.
• Logic 1 = Auto half-duplex mode. In this mode, the direction of the RS-485 transceiver is internally controlled
by the RTS# signal. Also, the transmit interrupt generation is delayed until the transmitter shift register
becomes empty.

characters in transmit or receive FIFO can be read via scratch pad register when this bit is set. Enhanced
Mode Select Register is selected when it is written into.
FCTR[7]: Programmable Trigger Register Select
If using both programmable TX and RX trigger levels, TX trigger levels must be set before RX trigger levels.
• Logic 0 = Registers TRG and FC selected for RX.
• Logic 1 = Registers TRG and FC selected for TX.
4.19
Enhanced Feature Register (EFR)
Enhanced features are enabled or disabled using this register. Bit 0-3 provide single or dual consecutive
character software flow control selection (see Table 13). 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[4]: Enhanced Function Bits Enable
Enhanced function control bit. This bit enables IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 4-5, MCR bits 5-7, and DLD
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, MCR bits 57, and DLD are saved to retain the user settings. After a reset, the IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 4-5,
MCR bits 5-7, and DLD are 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[7:5]: Reserved
For normal operation, these bits should be at logic 0.
