66MHZ PCI BUS QUAD UART WITH POWER MANAGEMENT SUPPORT
FEBRUARY 2007
REV. 1.0.0
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XR17V2541 (V254) is a single chip 4-channel
66MHz PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect)
UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver and
Transmitter)
solution,
optimized
for
higher
performance and lower power. The V254 device with
its fifth generation register set is designed to meet the
high
bandwidth
and
power
management
requirements for multi-serial communication ports for
system administration and management. The 32-bit
66MHz PCI interface is compliant with PCI 3.0 and
PCI power management revision 1.1 specifications.
The device provides an upgrade path for Exar’s
33MHz 5V and Universal PCI UART family of
products in a 144-pin LQFP package.
The V254 consists of four independent UART
channels, each with set of configuration and
enhanced registers, 64 bytes of Transmit (TX) and
Receive (RX) FIFOs, and a fractional Baud Rate
Generator (BRG). A global interrupt source register
provides a complete interrupt status indication for all
4 channels to speed up interrupt parsing. The V254
device operates at 33/66MHz and features fully
programmable TX and RX FIFO level triggers,
automatic hardware and software flow control, and
automatic RS-485 half duplex direction control output
for software and hardware design simplification.

REV. 1.0.0
66MHZ PCI BUS QUAD UART WITH POWER MANAGEMENT SUPPORT
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The XR17V254 (V254) consists of four enhanced 16550 UARTs with a conventional PCI interface and a nonvolatile memory interface for PCI plug-and-play auto-configuration. The PCI local bus is a synchronous timing
bus where all bus transactions are associated with the bus clock. The V254 supports 66MHz clock and 32-bit
wide read and write data transfer operations including data burst mode through the PCI interface. Read and
write data operations may be in byte, word or double-word (DWORD) format. The device consists of three sets
of registers:
• PCI local bus configuration registers for PCI auto configuration
• 32-bit global device configuration registers for overall control and monitoring of the 4 UART channels.
• A combination set of the 16C550 compatible registers and enhanced registers in each of the individual UART
channel, for control, status, and byte wide data transfer
Each UART channel has 64-byte FIFOs, automatic RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR hardware flow control with
hysteresis control, automatic Xon/Xoff software flow control, programmable transmit and receive FIFO trigger
level, FIFO level counters, infrared encoder and decoder (IrDA ver. 1.0), and a programmable fractional baud
rate generator with a prescaler of 1X or 4X, and data rate up to 6.25 Mbps at 8X sampling clock. The
XR17V254 is available in a 144-pin LQFP (20x20x1.4mm) industrial grade package.
PCI LOCAL BUS INTERFACE
This is the host interface and it meets the PCI local bus specification revision 3.0. The PCI local bus operations
are synchronous, where each transaction is associated to the bus clock. The V254 can operate with the bus
clock of up to a 66.67MHz. Data transfers operation can be formatted in 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit or 32-bit wide. With
32-bit data operations, it pushes the data transfer rate on the bus up to 264 MByte/sec. This increases the
overall system’s communication performance up to 32 times better than the 8-bit ISA bus. See PCI local bus
specification revision 3.0 for bus operation details.
PCI LOCAL BUS CONFIGURATION SPACE REGISTERS
A set of PCI local bus configuration space register is provided. These registers provide the PCI local bus
operating system with the card’s vendor ID, device ID, sub-vendor ID, product model number, and resources
and capabilities. The PCI local bus operating system collects this data from all the cards on the bus during the
auto configuration phase that follows immediately after a power up or system reset/reboot. After it 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 8.
POWER MANAGEMENT REGISTERS
This set of registers is a continuation of the Configuration Space and provides status and control of Power
Management functions of the V254. The Power Management Capabilities (PMC) register and the Power
Management Control/Status Register (PMCSR) are implemented. “Section 1.2, Power Management
Registers” on page 10 describes these registers and details how Power Management is implemented in the
device.
EEPROM INTERFACE
An external 93C46 EEPROM is used to store 8 words of information. Details of this information can be found in
“Section 1.4, EEPROM Interface” on page 13. 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.

REV. 1.0.0
1.0 XR17V254 INTERNAL REGISTERS
The XR17V254 UART has three different sets of registers as shown in Figure 3. The PCI Local Bus
Configuration Space Registers are for plug-and-play auto-configuration when connecting the device to a the
PCI bus. 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 four channels. These functions include all 4 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 4 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 2K 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 1.4, EEPROM Interface” on page 13) required by the auto-configuration setup.

1.2.1
Power States and Power State Transitions of the V254
The XR17V254 supports D0, D3hot and D3cold power states and is capable of generating the PME# signal
from the D3hot state. The following paragraphs describe these power states and Figure 4 shows the power
state transitions of the V254.
D0 STATE
The XR17V254 must be placed in the D0 state before being used in a system. The D0 state represents two
states - D0 Uninitalized and D0 Active. Upon entering D0 from power up or transition from D3hot, the V254 will
be in the D0 Uninitialized state. Once initialized by the system software, the V254 will enter the D0 Active state.
In the D0 Active state, the V254 is fully functional and will respond to all PCI bus transactions as well as issue
interrupts (INTA#). The system software can program the V254 to enter the D3hot state from the D0 state.
D3HOT STATE
The V254 enters the D3hot state when the system software programs the V254 from D0 to D3hot. In this state,
the V254 will not be fully functional. The V254 will respond only to PCI configuration space accesses, if a PCI
clock is provided and will not respond to PCI memory accesses nor will it issue interrupts. However, the V254
will continue to receive data and the automatic software and hardware flow control, if enabled, will continue to
function normally. While in the D3hot state, the V254 asserts the PME# (Power Management Event) signal, if
enabled by setting PME_Enable bit, upon one of the following events:
■
RX pin of any of the channels goes LOW (START bit detected), or
■
Any of the delta bits of modem inputs (MSR register bits [3:0]) is set in any of the 4 channels (see
page 49)
The V254 also sets the PME_Status bit when such an event occurs, regardless of whether the PME_Enable bit
is set or not. The system software can reset the PME_Status bit by writing a ’1’ to it. When the system software
programs the V254 from D3hot to D0, typically in response to the PME# signal, the V254 enters the D0 Active
state and will retain all the values of its internal registers. The V254 will keep its PCI signal drivers disabled for
the duration of the D3hot to D0 Uninitialized state transition. The V254 saves the PME context (configuration
registers and functional state information) in the D3hot state.
Note: The V254 has a sleep mode which keeps the power consumption to a minimum (see Sleep Mode
description on page 22). This is independent of the power state the V254 is in. The user can optionally place
the V254 in sleep mode (via the software driver) in the Active D0 state anytime or specifically when the system
software commands the V254 to enter the D3hot state. The crystal oscillator shuts down when the conditions
given in Sleep Mode section on page 22 are satisfied, and re-starts when one of the events as described in the
same section occurs. Upon re-starting, the oscillator may take a long time to settle. This time may be more
than 20ms which is the maximum wait time guaranteed by the system software before resuming normal PCI
bus transactions in the Active D0 state. Therefore, there may be data errors if the V254 is commanded to
transmit data before the oscillator is ready. It is recommended not to use sleep mode while in the D3hot
state for this reason.

66MHZ PCI BUS QUAD UART WITH POWER MANAGEMENT SUPPORT
REV. 1.0.0
D3COLD STATE
The V254 enters the state when power is removed from the device. All context is lost in this state and the V254
does not support PME# in this state. When power is restored, PCI RST# must be asserted and the V254 will
return to the D0 Uninitialized state with a full PCI 3.0 compliant power-on reset sequence. The V254 will set all
its registers and outputs to the power-on defaults just as at initial power up. The system software must then
fully initialize and re-configure the V254 to place it in the D0 Active state.

Special Read/Write Register to store User Information
This 32-bit register can be used to store user information and is writable only via the EEPROM. This is
implemented at an offset of 0x48 in the PCI Configuration Space immediately following the Power
Management Registers. This register can be used to store application-specific information which may be used
by the device driver to initialize the device appropriately.

EEPROM Interface
The V254 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
following table gives the mapping of the EEPROM memory to the registers in the V254’s PCI Configuration
Space. When the PCI RST# is negated, the V254 will download the data from the EEPROM, if it detects a
HIGH on the EECS pin. The V254 takes a maximum of 216 PCI clocks from the rising edge of the PCI RST#
signal to read the EEPROM data. For more details on the EEPROM interface, please refer to the application
note DAN112 on Exar’s website.

Device Internal Register Sets
The Device Configuration Registers and the four individual UART Configuration Registers of the V254
occupy 2K 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 4 address blocks where each UART channel occupies 512
bytes memory space for its own registers that include the 16550 compatible registers. The Device
Configuration Registers are embedded inside the UART channel zero’s address space between 0x0080 to
0x0093. All these registers can be accessed in 8, 16, 24 or 32 bits width depending on the starting address
given by the host at 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 5 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 3.1, FIFO DATA LOADING AND UNLOADING IN 32-BIT FORMAT” on page 26.

The Global Interrupt Register
The XR17V254 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 4 channels with each bit
representing each channel from 0 to 3. This permits the interrupt routine to quickly vector and serve that UART
channel and determine the source(s) in each individual 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 [3] representing UART channel 3
respectively. Bits 4 to 7 are reserved and remains at logic zero.
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 4 channels. Bits [10:8] representing channel 0 and bits [19:17] representing channel 3
respectively. Bits [31:20] are reserved. All 4 channel interrupts status are available with a single DWORD read
operation. This feature allows the host quickly vectors and serves the interrupts, reducing service interval,
hence, reduce host bandwidth requirement.

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 V254 upon awakening from sleep after all
four channels were put to sleep mode earlier. This wake-up interrupt is cleared by a read to the INT0 register.
Figure 5 shows the 4-byte interrupt register and its make up.
INT0 [7:0] Channel Interrupt Indicator
Each bit gives an indication of the channel that has requested for service. Bit [0] represents channel 0 and
bit [3] indicates channel 3. Logic one indicates the channel N [3:0] has called for service. The interrupt bit
clears after reading the appropriate register of the interrupting channel register, see Interrupt Clearing section.

The 3-bit encoding and their priority order are shown below in Table 8. The Timer and MPIO interrupts are for
the device and therefore they exist within channel 0 space and not in other channel interrupt.

General Purpose 16-bit Timer/Counter [TIMERMSB, TIMELSB, TIMER, TIMECNTL] (DEFAULT
0XXX-XX-00-00)
A 16-bit down-count timer for general purpose timer or counter. Its clock source may be selected from internal
crystal oscillator or externally on pin TMRCK. 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 8). 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 10 below. The time-out output of the Timer can also be optionally routed to the MPIO[0] pin. The block

TIMERMSB [31:24] and TIMERLSB [23:16]
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 7). 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’

66MHZ PCI BUS QUAD UART WITH POWER MANAGEMENT SUPPORT
REV. 1.0.0
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 7. 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 Sleep register enables each UART separately to enter Sleep mode. 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 (LOW (default) is to disable and logic HIGH is
to enable sleep mode):
■
There is no pending interrupt
■
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] =
0000)
When all 4 UART channels are put to sleep, the on-chip oscillator shuts off to further conserve power. In this
case, the V254 is awakened by any of the following events occurring at any of the 4 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, i.e. any of the delta bits (MSR bits[7:4]) is set
The V254 is ready after 32 crystal clocks to ensure full functionality. Therefore, if the V254 is awakened by a
receive data start bit transition, that character (and the subsequent few characters) may not be received
correctly. Also, a special interrupt is generated with an indication of no pending interrupt. The V254 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.
1.6.7
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 0x44 from this register
indicates the device is a XR17V254. 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 XR17V254 is 0x44.
DREV [7:0]
Revision number of the XR17V254. A 0x01 represents "revision-A" with 0x02 for rev-B and so on.

Multi-Purpose Inputs and Outputs
The V254 provides 8 multi-purpose inputs/outputs MPIO[7:0] for general use. Each pin can be programmed 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, or 3-state. Their functions and
definitions are programmed through 5 registers: MPIOINT, MPIOLVL, MPIO3T, MPIOINV and MPIOSEL. If all
8 pins are set for inputs, all 8 interrupts would be Or’ed together. The Or’ed 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 1.6.2, General Purpose 16-bit Timer/Counter [TIMERMSB,

2.0 CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR / BUFFER
The V254 includes an on-chip oscillator (XTAL1 and XTAL2). The crystal oscillator provides the system clock
to the Baud Rate Generators (BRG) in each of the 4 UARTs, the 16-bit general purpose timer/counter and
internal logics. XTAL1 is the input to the oscillator or external clock buffer input with XTAL2 pin being the
output. See the Programmable Baud Rate Generator in the UART section on page 29 for programming details.
The on-chip oscillator is designed to use an industry standard microprocessor crystal (parallel resonant with
10-22 pF capacitance load, 100ppm) connected externally between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins (see
Figure 10). Alternatively, an external clock can be connected to the XTAL1 pin to clock the internal 4 baud rate

3.0 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 5 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 XR17V254 supports
PCI burst mode for read/write operation of up to 64 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.
3.1
FIFO DATA LOADING AND UNLOADING IN 32-BIT FORMAT
The XR17V254 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 5. The following is an extract from the table showing the burstable memory
locations:
Channel N: (for channels 0 through 3) where M = 2N + 1.

0xM00 - 0xM3F (64 bytes)
TX FIFO
:

For example, the locations for channel 2 are:

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
a random value upon power up. 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 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 12 shows the
standard data rates available with a 14.7456 MHz 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 12. At 8X sampling
rate, these data rates would double. Also, when using 8X sampling mode, please note that the bit-time will
have a jitter (+/- 1/16) whenever the DLD is an odd number. When using a non-standard 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 8XMODE [7:0] IS 0
Required Divisor (decimal) = (XTAL1 clock frequency / prescaler / (serial data rate x 8), WITH 8XMODE [7:0] IS 1
The closest divisor that is obtainable in the V254 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[6:7] 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 12 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 V254 includes the infrared encoder and decoder compatible to the IrDA (Infrared Data
Association) version 1.0. The input pin ENIR conveniently activates all 4254 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 at logic 0 level. Likewise, the RX [7:0] inputs assume an idle level of logic 0.
The infrared encoder sends out a 3/16 of a bit wide pulse for each “LOW” bit in the transmit data stream. This
signal encoding reduces the on-time of the infrared LED, hence reduces the power consumption. See
Figure 13 below.
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 LOW 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 logic 1. All regular UART functions operate normally.
Figure 14 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, and CTS#,
DSR# CD# and RI# inputs are ignored.

MCR bits [3:2] (OP1 and OP2 outputs) are not available in the XR17V254. They are present for 16C550
compatibility during Internal loopback, see Figure 14.
Transmitter
The transmitter section comprises of a 64 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 enabled, and adds the stop bit(s). The status of the THR and TSR are
reported in the Line Status Register (LSR bit [6:5]).
4.6.1
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 64 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].
4.6.2
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.

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.
4.6.4
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 or 8X 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 or 8X clock rate. After 8 or 4 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[1:0] plus 12 bits time. The RHR interrupt is enabled by IER bit [0].

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.
5.4.1
IER versus Receive FIFO Interrupt Mode Operation
When the receive FIFO (FCR bit [0] = a 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 XR17V254 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 V254 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
V254 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 V254 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.
5.5
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.
5.5.1
Interrupt Generation:
• LSR is by any of the LSR bits [4:1]. See IER bit [2] description above.
• 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/Special character is by detection of a Xoff or Special character.
• CTS#/DSR# is when the input pin toggles (from LOW to HIGH) during auto CTS/DSR flow control.
• RTS#/DTR# is when the output pin toggles (from LOW to HIGH) during auto RTS/DTR flow control.
• Wake-up Indicator is when the UART comes out of sleep mode.
5.5.2
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 interrupt is cleared by a read to ISR or when Xon character(s) is received.
• Special character interrupt is cleared by a read to ISR or after the next character is received.
• RTS#/DTR# and CTS#/DSR# status change interrupts are cleared by a read to the MSR register.
• Wake-up indicator is cleared by a read to the INT0 register.

5.6
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.

Modem Control Register (MCR) - Read/Write
The MCR register is used for controlling the modem interface signals or general purpose inputs/outputs.
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.
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.
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 14.

REV. 1.0.0
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 14. Please make sure that this bit is a ’0’ when exiting the Local Loopback
Mode.
MCR[2]: DTR# or RTS# for Auto Flow Control (OP1 in Local Loopback Mode)
DTR# or RTS# auto hardware flow control select. This bit is in effect only when auto RTS/DTR is enabled by
EFR bit [6]. DTR# selection is associated with DSR# and RTS# is with CTS#.
• Logic 0 = Uses RTS# and CTS# pins for auto hardware flow control.
• Logic 1 = Uses DTR# and DSR# pins for auto hardware flow control.
In Local Loopback mode (MCR[4] = 1), this bit acts as the legacy OP1 output and controls the RI bit in the MSR
register, as shown in Figure 14.
MCR[1]: RTS# Output
The RTS# pin may be used for automatic hardware flow control by enabled by EFR bit [6] and MCR bit [2]=0. If
the modem interface is not used, this output may be used for general purpose.
• Logic 0 = Force RTS# output to a HIGH (default).
• Logic 1= Force RTS# output to LOW.
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
the modem interface is not used, this output may be used for general purpose.
• Logic 0 = Force DTR# output to a HIGH (default).
• Logic 1 = Force DTR# output to a LOW.
5.9
Line Status Register (LSR) - Read Only
This register provides the status of data transfers between the UART and the host. If IER bit [2] is set to a
logic 1, an LSR interrupt will be generated immediately when any character in the RX FIFO has an error (parity,
framing, overrun, break).
LSR[7]: Receive FIFO Data Error Flag
• Logic 0 = No FIFO error (default).
• 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 1 = 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
interrupt will be generated if MSR interrupt is enabled (IER bit [3]).
MSR[1]: Delta DSR# Input Flag
• Logic 0 = No change on DSR# input (default).
• Logic 1 = The DSR# input has changed state since the last time it was monitored. A modem status interrupt
will be generated if MSR interrupt is enabled (IER bit [3]).
MSR[0]: Delta CTS# Input Flag
• Logic 0 = No change on CTS# input (default).
• Logic 1 = The CTS# input has changed state since the last time it was monitored. A modem status interrupt
will be generated if MSR interrupt is enabled (IER bit [3]).
5.11
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# 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# 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 (requires EFR bit [4]=1)
This bit can be used to disable the transmitter by halting the Transmit Shift Register (TSR). When this bit is set
to a ’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 ’0’, the bytes currently in the TX FIFO will be sent
out. Please note that setting this bit to a ’1’ stops any character from going out. Also, this bit must be a ’0’ for
Send Char Immediate function (see MCR[3]).
• Logic 0 = Enable Transmitter (default).
• Logic 1 = Disable Transmitter.

MSR [2]: Receiver Disable (requires EFR bit [4]=1)
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 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.

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.
5.13
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.
• 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# 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.
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.

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].

66MHZ PCI BUS QUAD UART WITH POWER MANAGEMENT SUPPORT
REV. 1.0.0
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 [7:5,3:2] and MSR [7:2] 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, HIGH.
• Logic 0 = modification disable/latch enhanced features. IER bits [7:5], ISR bits [5:4], FCR bits [5:4], MCR
bits [7:5, 3:2] and MSR [7:2] bits are saved to retain the user settings. After a reset, all these bits are set to a
logic 0 to be compatible with ST16C550 mode (default).
• Logic 1 = Enables the enhanced functions. When this bit is set to a logic 1 all enhanced features are
enabled.
