The PCI local bus is a synchronous timing bus where all bus transactions are associated to the bus clock of up to 33 MHz. The L154 supports 32-bit wide read and write data transfer operations including data burst mode through the PCI Local Bus interface. Read and write data operations maybe in byte, word or double-word (DWORD) format. The data transfer rate in a DWORD operation is 4 times faster than the single byte operation with 8-bit ISA bus. A single 32-bit interrupt status register provides interrupts status for all 4 UARTs, timer/counter, multipurpose inputs/outputs, and a special sleep wake up indicator. There are three sets of register in the device. First, the PCI local bus configuration registers for PCI auto configuration. A set of device configuration registers for overall control, 32-bit wide transmit and receive data transfer, and monitoring of the 4 UART channels. Lastly, each UART channel has its own 16550 UART compatible configuration register set for individual channel control, status, and byte wide data transfer. Each UART has the improved fifth generation (5G) register set, 64-byte FIFOs, automatic RTS/CTS or DTR/ DSR hardware flow control with hysteresis control, automatic Xon/Xoff and special character software flow control, programmable transmit and receive FIFO trigger level, FIFO level counters, infrared encoder and decoder (IrDA ver 1.0), programmable baud rate generator with a prescaler of 1X or 4X, and data rate up to 2 Mbps. The XR17L154 bus timing and drive capability meets the PCI local bus specification revision 2.2 for 3.3V 33 MHz operation over the temperature range. The XR17L154 is available in the same thin 144-pin TQFP (20x20x1.4mm) package and pin-out as the XR17C154 and XR17C158 in commercial and industrial temperature ranges. PCI LOCAL BUS INTERFACE This is the host interface and it meets the PCI Local Bus Specification revision 2.2. The PCI local bus operations are synchronous meaning each transaction is associated to the bus clock. The XR17L154 can operate with the bus clock of up to a 33 MHz. 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 132 MByte/sec. This increases the overall system’s communication performance up to 16 times better than the 8-bit ISA bus. See PCI local bus specification revision 2.2 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. EEPROM INTERFACE An external 93C46 EEPROM is only used to store the vendor’s ID and model number, and the sub-vendor’s ID and product model number. 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. 6 áç XR17L154 3.3V PCI BUS QUAD UART REV. 1.0.0 1.0 XR17L154 REGISTERS The XR17L154 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 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 accessible directly from the PCI bus for programming general operating conditions of the device and monitoring the status of various functions. These registers are mapped into 2K of the PCI bus memory address space. These functions include all 4 channel UART’s 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 5G 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 following paragraphs describe all 3 sets of registers in detail. FIGURE 3.

The pre-defined operating parameters of the device are 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, 0x10. The plug-and-play auto configuration feature is only available when an external 93C46 EEPROM is used. The EEPROM contains the device vendor and sub-vendor data required by the auto-configuration setup. 7 áç XR17L154 3.3V PCI BUS QUAD UART REV. 1.0.0 TABLE 1: PCI LOCAL BUS CONFIGURATION SPACE REGISTERS ADDRESS 0x00 0x04 TYPE 31:16 RWR1 Device ID (Exar device ID number or from EEPROM) 0x0154 15:0 RWR1 Vendor ID (Exar ID or from EEPROM) specified by PCISIG 0x13A8 31:28 RO 27 R-Reset DESCRIPTION RESET VALUE (HEX) BITS Status bits (error reporting bits) 0000 Target Abort.

WO=Write Only. 1.2 Device configuration Register Set The device configuration registers and a special way to access each of the UART’s transmit and receive data FIFOs are accessible directly from the PCI data bus. This provides easy programming of general operating parameters to the L154 UART and for monitoring the status of various functions. The registers 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. These registers control or report on all 4 channel UARTs functions that include interrupt control and status, 16-bit general purpose timer control and status, multipurpose inputs/outputs control and status, sleep mode control, softreset control, and device identification and revision, and others. The registers set is mapped into 4 address blocks where each UART channel occupies 512 bytes memory space for its own 16550 compatible configuration registers. The device configuration and control 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 bit 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 bit format to the register’s address. 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. 9 áç XR17L154 3.3V PCI BUS QUAD UART REV. 1.0.0 TABLE 2: XR17L154 DEVICE CONFIGURATION REGISTERS OFFSET ADDRESS MEMORY SPACE READ/WRITE DATA WIDTH COMMENT ( Table 10 & Table 11) 8/16/24/32 First 8 regs are 16550 compatible ( Table 3) 8/16/24/32 0x000 - 0x00F UART channel 0 Regs 0x010 - 0x07F Reserved 0x080 - 0x093 DEVICE CONFIG.

The first scheme is a 4-bit indicator in INT0 register representing the 4 channels with the first 4 bits 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 4 respectively, bits 4 to 7 are reserved and remain 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 and INT2 registers provide the 12-bit interrupt status for all 4 channels. Bits 8, 9 and 10 representing channel 0 and bits 17,18 and 19 representing channel 3 respectively. Bits 20 to 31 are reserved and remain at logic zero. 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. GLOBAL INTERRUPT REGISTER (DWORD) - [default 0x00-00-00-00] INT3 [31:24] INT2 [23:16] INT1 [15:8] INT0 [7:0] All bits start up zero. A special interrupt condition is generated by the L154 upon awakening from sleep after all 4 channels were put to sleep mode earlier. Figure 4 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. Bits 4 to 7 are reserved and remain at logic zero 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 5 . The Timer and MPIO interrupts are for the device and therefore they exist within channel 0 space and not in other channel interrupt. . FIGURE 4.

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 continue interval. An interrupt may be generated in the INT Register when the timer times out. It is controlled through 4 configuration registers [TIMERCNTL, TIMER, TIMELSB, TIMERMSB]. These registers provide start/stop and re-triggerable or one-shot operation. The time-out output of the Timer can be set to generate an interrupt for system or event alarm. FIGURE 5.

The upper bits 4 to 7 are reserved. Sleep mode reduces power consumption when the system needs to put the UART(s) to idle. The UART enters Sleep mode when there is no interrupt pending. When all 4 UARTs are put to sleep, the on-chip oscillator shuts off to further conserve power. In this case, the quad UART is awaken by any of the UART channel on from a receive data byte or a change on the serial port. The UART is ready after 32 crystal clocks to ensure full functionality. Also, a special interrupt is generated with an indication of no pending interrupt. Logic 0 (default) is disable and logic 1 is enable to Sleep mode.

The 8bit content in the DVID register provides device identification. A return value of 0x24 from this register indicates the device is an XR17L154 or an XR17C154. The DREV register returns an 8-bit value of 0x01 for revision A with 0x02 equals to revision B and so forth. 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] - (default 0x24) Device identification for the type of UART. The upper nibble indicates it is a XR17Cxxx series with lower nibble indicating the number of channels. Examples: XR17C158 = 0x28 XR17L154 or XR17L154 = 0x24 XR17C152 or XR17L152 = 0x22 DREV [7:0] - (default (0x01) Revision number of the XR17L154. A 0x01 represents "revision-A" with 0x02 for rev-B and so forth. REGB [23:16] - (default 0x00) REGB register provides a control for simultaneous write to all 4 UARTs configuration register or individually. This is very useful for device initialization in the power up and reset routines. Also, the register provides a facility to interface to the non-volatile memory device such as a 93C46 EEPROM. In embedded applications, the user can use this facility to store proprietary data. 1.2.8 RGEB Register REGB[16] (Read/Write) Logic 0 (default) write to each UART configuration registers individually. Logic 1 enables simultaneous write to all 4 UARTs configuration register. REGB[19:17] Reserved REGB[20] (Write-Only) Control the EECK, clock, output (pin 116) on the EEPROM interface. REGB[21] (Write-Only) Control the EECS, chips select, output (pin 115) to the EEPROM device. REGB[22] (Write-Only) EEDI (pin 114) data input. Write data to the EEPROM device.

Read data from the EEPROM device. 16 áç XR17L154 3.3V PCI BUS QUAD UART REV. 1.0.0 1.2.9 Multi-Purpose Inputs and Outputs The L154 provides 8 multi-purpose inputs/outputs [MPIO7:0] 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 logic 1 or 0 state, or tri-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 tri-state condition for signal sharing. 1.2.10 MPIO REGISTER Bit 7 represents MPIO7 pin and bit 0 represents MPIO0 pin. There are 5 registers that select, control and monitor the 8 multipurpose inputs and outputs pins. Figure 6 shows the internal circuitry. FIGURE 6.

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. Caution: The XTAL1 input is not 5V tolerant. See Programmable Baud Rate Generator in the UART section 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 7). Alternatively, an external clock can be connected to the XTAL1 pin to clock the internal 8 baud rate generators for standard or custom rates. Typically, the oscillator connections are shown in Figure 7. For further reading on oscillator circuit please see application note DAN108 on EXAR’s web site. FIGURE 7.

First, there is a transmit data register and receive data register for each UART channel in the device configuration register 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 XR17L154 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. 19 áç XR17L154 3.3V PCI BUS QUAD UART REV. 1.0.0 3.1 FIFO DATA LOADING AND UNLOADING THROUGH THE DEVICE CONFIGURATION REGISTERS IN 32-BIT FORMAT.

Each has its own 64-byte of transmit and receive FIFO, a set of 16550 compatible control and status registers, and a baud rate generator for individual channel data rate setting. Eight additional registers per UART were added for the EXAR enhanced features. 21 áç XR17L154 3.3V PCI BUS QUAD UART REV. 1.0.0 4.1 Programmable Baud Rate Generator 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 -1) 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 and DLM registers) defaults to a random value upon power up. Therefore, the BRG must be programmed during initialization to the operating data rate. FIGURE 8.

Table 9 shows the standard data rates available with a 14.7456 MHz crystal or external clock at 16X clock rate. At 8X sampling rate, these data rates would double.

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 and 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 1 to logic 1 after it is enabled. Figure 9 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 bit-6 and 7, and chosen with MCR bit-2. Automatic hardware flow control is selected by setting bits 6 (RTS) and 7 (CTS) of the EFR register to logic 1. If CTS# pin transitions from logic 0 to logic 1 indicting a flow control request, ISR bit-5 will be set to logic 1, (if enabled via IER bit 6-7), 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 logic 0, indicating more data may be sent. 23 áç XR17L154 3.3V PCI BUS QUAD UART REV. 1.0.0 FIGURE 9.

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. 24 áç XR17L154 3.3V PCI BUS QUAD UART REV. 1.0.0 4.3 Infrared Mode Each UART in the L154 includes the infrared encoder and decoder compatible to the IrDA (Infrared Data Association) version 1.0. The input pin ENIR conveniently activates all 4 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[3:0], would idle at logic zero level. Likewise, the RX[3:0] inputs assume an idle level of logic zero. The infrared encoder sends out a 3/16 of a bit wide pulse for each “0” bit in the transmit data stream. This signal encoding reduces the on-time of the infrared LED, hence reduces the power consumption. See Figure 10 below. The infrared decoder receives the input pulse from the infrared sensing diode on RX pin. Each time it senses a light pulse, it returns a logic zero to the data bit stream. The RX input signal may be inverted prior delivered to the input of the decoder. This option supports active low instead of normal active high pulse from some infrared modules on the market.

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. The TX pin is held at logic 1 or mark condition while RTS# and DTR# are de-asserted, and CTS#, DSR# CD# and RI# inputs are ignored. FIGURE 11.

They are present for 16C550 compatibility during Internal loopback, see Figure 11. 4.6 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 enable, and adds the stop bit(s). The status of the THR and TSR are reported in the Line Status Register (LSR bit-5 and bit-6). 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 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. FIGURE 12.

The THR empty flag (LSR bit-5) is set whenever the FIFO is empty. The THR empty flag can generate a transmit empty interrupt (ISR bit-1) when the amount of data in the FIFO falls below its programmed trigger level (see TXTRG register). The transmit empty interrupt is enabled by IER bit-1. The TSR flag (LSR bit-6) is set when TSR becomes completely empty. Furthermore, with the RS485 half-duplex direction control enabled (FCTR bit-5=1) the source of the transmit empty interrupt changes to TSR empty instead of THR empty. This is to ensure the RTS# output is not changed until the last stop bit of the last character is shifted out. 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. FIGURE 13.

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 1- 4 and an LSR interrupt is generated immediately if IER bit-2 is enabled. 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 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. 30 áç XR17L154 3.3V PCI BUS QUAD UART REV. 1.0.0 4.7.1 Receiver Operation in non-FIFO Mode FIGURE 14.

Receive Data RXFIFO1 4.8 Registers Receive Holding Register (RHR) The receive holding register is an 8-bit register that holds a receive data byte from the receive shift register (RSR). It provides the receive data interface to the host processor. The host reads the receive data byte on this register whenever a data byte is transferred from the RSR. RHR also part of the receive FIFO of 64 bytes by 11-bit wide, 4 extra bits are for the error tags to be in LSR register. When the FIFO is enabled by FCR bit-0, it acts as the first-out register of the FIFO as new data are put over the first-in register. The receive FIFO pointer is bumped after the RHR register is read. Also, the error tags associated with the data byte are immediately updated onto the line status register (LSR) bits 1-4. 31 áç XR17L154 3.3V PCI BUS QUAD UART REV. 1.0.0 Baud Rate Generator Divisors (DLL and DLM) The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) is a 16-bit counter that generates the data rate for the transmitter and receiver. The rate is programmed through registers DLL and DLM which are only accessible when LCR bit-7 is set to logic 1. See Programmable Baud Rate Generator section for more detail. Interrupt Enable Register (IER) 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) register and also encoded in INT (INT0-INT3) register in the Device Configuration Registers. IER versus Receive FIFO Interrupt Mode Operation When the receive FIFO (FCR BIT-0 = logic 1) and receive interrupts (IER BIT-0 = logic 1) are enabled, the RHR interrupts (see ISR bits 3 and 4) 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 0-3 enables the L154 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 1-4 provides the type of receive data errors encountered for the data byte in RHR, if any. C. LSR BIT-5 indicates THR is empty. D. LSR BIT-6 indicates when both the transmit FIFO and TSR are empty. E. LSR BIT-7 indicates the or’ed function of errors 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 interrupt is associated with bit-5 in the LSR register. An interrupt is issued whenever the THR becomes empty (non-FIFO mode) or when data in the FIFO falls below the programmed trigger level in the 64-byte FIFO mode. • Logic 0 = Disable Transmit Holding Register empty interrupt (default). • Logic 1 = Enable Transmit Holding Register empty interrupt. IER[2]: Receive Line Status Interrupt Enable Any of the LSR register bits 1,2,3 or 4 becomes active will generate an interrupt to inform the host controller about the error status of the current data byte in FIFO. • Logic 0 = Disable the receiver line status interrupt (default). • Logic 1 = Enable the receiver line status interrupt. 32 áç XR17L154 3.3V PCI BUS QUAD UART REV. 1.0.0 IER[3]: Modem Status Interrupt Enable • Logic 0 = Disable the modem status register interrupt (default). • Logic 1 = Enable the modem status register interrupt. IER[4]: Reserved. 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[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 the RTS# output pin makes a transition. 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# input pin makes a transition. Interrupt Status Register (ISR) 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 12, shows the data values (bit 0-5) for the six prioritized interrupt levels and the interrupt sources associated with each of these interrupt levels. 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 the a 4-char plus 12 bits delay timer if data doesn’t reach FIFO trigger level. • TXRDY is by LSR bit-5 in the non-FIFO mode, TX trigger level setting in the FIFO mode (or bit-6 in auto RS485 control). • MSR is by any of the MSR bits, 0, 1, 2 and 3. • Receive Xon/Xoff/Special character is by detection of a Xon, Xoff or Special character. • CTS#/DSR# is by a change of state on the input pin with auto flow control enabled, EFR bit-7, and depending on selection on MCR bit-2. • RTS#/DTR# is when its receiver changes the state of the output pin during auto RTS/DTR flow control enabled by EFR bit-6 and selection of MCR bit-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 emptying the RX FIFO. • TXRDY interrupt is cleared by a read to the ISR register. • MSR interrupt is cleared by a read to the MSR register. • Xon, Xoff or Special character interrupt is cleared by a read to ISR register. 33 áç XR17L154 3.3V PCI BUS QUAD UART REV. 1.0.0 • RTS#/DTR# output status change interrupt is cleared by a read to the ISR register. • CTS#/DSR# input status change interrupt is cleared by a read to the MSR register. ] TABLE 12: INTERRUPT SOURCE AND PRIORITY LEVEL PRIORITY ISR REGISTER STATUS BITS SOURCE OF THE INTERRUPT+ LEVEL BIT-5 BIT-4 BIT-3 BIT-2 BIT-1 BIT-0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 LSR (Receiver Line Status Register) 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 RXRDY (Received Data Ready) 3 0 0 1 1 0 0 RXRDY (Receive Data Time-out) 4 0 0 0 0 1 0 TXRDY (Transmitter Holding Register Empty) 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 MSR (Modem Status Register) 6 0 1 0 0 0 0 RXRDY (Received Xon/Xoff or Special character) 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 CTS#/DSR#, RTS#/DTR# change of state X 0 0 0 0 0 1 None (default) ISR[0]: Interrupt Status Logic 0 = An interrupt is pending and the ISR contents may be used as a pointer to the appropriate interrupt service routine. Logic 1 = No interrupt pending (default condition). ISR[3:1]: Interrupt Status These bits indicate the source for a pending interrupt at interrupt priority levels 1, 2, 3 and 4 (See Interrupt Source Table 12). ISR[5:4]: Interrupt Status These bits are enabled when EFR bit-4 is set to a logic 1. ISR bit-4 indicates that the receiver detected a data match of the Xon or Xoff character(s). Note that once set to a logic 1, the ISR bit-4 will stay a logic 1 until a Xon character is received. ISR bit-5 indicates that CTS#/DSR# or RTS#/DTR# has changed state. ISR[7:6]: FIFO Enable Status These bits are set to a logic 0 when the FIFOs are disabled. They are set to a logic 1 when the FIFOs are enabled. FIFO Control Register (FCR) This register is used to enable the FIFOs, clear the FIFOs, set the transmit/receive FIFO trigger levels, and select the DMA mode. The DMA, and FIFO modes are defined as follows: FCR[0]: TX and RX FIFO Enable Logic 0 = Disable the transmit and receive FIFO (default). Logic 1 = Enable the transmit and receive FIFOs. This bit must be set to logic 1 when other FCR bits are written or they will not be programmed. FCR[1]: RX FIFO Reset This bit is only active when FCR bit-0 is active. Logic 0 = No receive FIFO reset (default). Logic 1 = Reset the receive FIFO pointers and FIFO level counter logic (the receive shift register is not cleared or altered). This bit will return to a logic 0 after resetting the FIFO. 34 áç XR17L154 3.3V PCI BUS QUAD UART REV. 1.0.0 FCR[2]: TX FIFO Reset This bit is only active when FCR bit-0 is active. Logic 0 = No transmit FIFO reset (default). Logic 1 = Reset the transmit FIFO pointers and FIFO level counter logic (the transmit shift register is not cleared or altered). This bit will return to a logic 0 after resetting the FIFO. FCR[3]: DMA Mode Select This bit has no effect since TXRDY and RXRDY pins are not available in this device. It is provided for legacy software. Logic 0 = Set DMA to mode 0. (default) Logic 1 = Set DMA to mode 1. FCR[5:4]: Transmit FIFO Trigger Select (logic 0 = default, TX trigger level = one) The FCTR Bits 6-7 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 13 below shows the selections. FCR[7:6]: Receive FIFO Trigger Select (logic 0 = default, RX trigger level =1) The FCTR Bits 6-7 are associated with these 2 bits. These 2 bits are used to set the trigger level for the receiver FIFO interrupt.

Line Control Register (LCR) The Line Control Register is used to specify the asynchronous data communication format. The word or character length, the number of stop bits, and the parity are selected by writing the appropriate bits in this register. LCR[1:0]: TX and RX Word Length Select These two bits specify the word length to be transmitted or received.

BIT-2 WORD LENGTH STOP BIT LENGTH (BIT TIME(S)) 0 5,6,7,8 1 (default) 1 5 1-1/2 1 6,7,8 2 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 14 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 the 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.

This condition remains until disabled by setting LCR bit-6 to a logic 0. • Logic 0 = No TX break condition. (default) • Logic 1 = Forces the transmitter output (TX) to a “space”, logic 0, for alerting the remote receiver of a line break condition. 37 áç XR17L154 3.3V PCI BUS QUAD UART REV. 1.0.0 LCR[7]: Baud Rate Divisors Enable Baud rate generator divisor (DLL/DLM) enable. • Logic 0 = Data registers are selected. (default) • Logic 1 = Divisor latch registers are selected. Modem Control Register (MCR) The MCR register is used for controlling the serial/modem interface signals or general purpose inputs/outputs. MCR[0]: DTR# Pins 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 logic 1 (default). • Logic 1 = Force DTR# output to a logic 0. MCR[1]: RTS# Pins 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 logic 1 (default). • Logic 1 = Force RTS# output to a logic 0. MCR[2]: DTR# or RTS# for Auto Flow Control The OP1 output is not available in the XR17L152. It is present for 16C550 compatibility during internal loopback. See Figure 11. Logic zero is default. DTR# or RTS# auto hardware flow control select. This bit is in effect only when auto RTS/DTR is enabled by EFR bit-6. • Logic 0 = Uses RTS#/CTS# pins for auto hardware flow control. • Logic 1 = Uses DTR#/DSR# pin is used for auto hardware flow control. MCR[3]: (OP2) The OP2 output is not available in the XR17L154. It is present for 16C550 compatibility during internal loopback. See Figure 11. Logic zero is default. 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 • Logic 0 = Disable Xon-Any function (for 16C550 compatibility) (default). • Logic 1 = Enable Xon-Any function. In this mode any RX character received will enable Xon, resume data transmission. MCR[6]: Infrared Encoder/Decoder Enable This bit overrides the ENIR pin selection. • Logic 0 = Disable the infrared mode (default). • 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 logic 0 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. 38 áç XR17L154 3.3V PCI BUS QUAD UART REV. 1.0.0 MCR[7]: Clock Prescaler Select • Logic 0 = Divide by one. The input clock from the crystal or external clock is fed directly to the Programmable Baud Rate Generator without further modification, i.e., divide by one (default). • Logic 1 = Divide by four. The prescaler divides the input clock from the crystal or external clock by four and feeds it to the Programmable Baud Rate Generator, hence, data rates become one forth. Line Status Register (LSR) This register provides the status of data transfers between the UART and the host. If IER bit-2 is enabled, an LSR interrupt is generated when a received data error occurs due to Overrrun, Parity or Framing. If LSR[0] = logic 0, then LSR bits 1-4 are invalid. 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 Tag • 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. Automatic Hardware (RTS/CTS) or Software (Xon/Xoff) Flow Control should be considered if this condition persists. 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 tag. The receive character did not have a valid stop bit(s). This error tag is associated with the character available for reading in RHR. LSR[4]: Receive Break Tag • Logic 0 = No break condition (default). • Logic 1 = The receiver received a break signal (RX was a logic 0 for one character frame time). In the FIFO mode, only one break character is loaded into the FIFO. The break indication remains until the RX input returns to the idle condition, “mark” or logic 1. LSR[5]: Transmit Holding Register Empty Flag This bit is the Transmit Holding Register Empty indicator. This bit indicates that the transmitter is ready to accept a new character for transmission. In addition, this bit causes the UART to issue an interrupt to the host when the THR interrupt enable is set. 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 at least 1 byte is written to the transmit FIFO. LSR[6]: Transmit Shift Register Empty Flag This bit is the Transmit Shift Register Empty indicator. 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 one whenever the transmit FIFO and transmit shift register are both empty. 39 áç XR17L154 3.3V PCI BUS QUAD UART REV. 1.0.0 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 is no more error(s) in the 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[0]: Delta CTS# Input Flag • Logic 0 = No change on CTS# input (default). • Logic 1 = The CTS# input has changed state since the last time it was monitored. A modem status interrupt will be generated if MSR interrupt is enabled (IER bit-3. MSR[1]: Delta DSR# Input Flag • Logic 0 = No change on DSR# input (default). • Logic 1 = The DSR# input has changed state since the last time it was monitored. A modem status interrupt will be generated if MSR interrupt is enabled (IER bit-3. MSR[2]: Delta RI# Input Flag • Logic 0 = No change on RI# input (default). • Logic 1 = The RI# input has changed from a logic 0 to a logic 1, ending of the ringing signal. A modem status interrupt will be generated if MSR interrupt is enabled (IER bit-3. MSR[3]: Delta CD# Input Flag • Logic 0 = No change on CD# input (default). • Logic 1 = Indicates that the CD# input has changed state since the last time it was monitored. A modem status interrupt will be generated if MSR interrupt is enabled (IER bit-3. MSR[4]: CTS Input Status CTS# pin may function as automatic hardware flow control signal input if it is enabled and selected by Auto CTS (EFR bit-7) and RTS/CTS flow control select (MCR bit-2). Auto CTS flow control allows starting and stopping of local data transmissions based on the modem CTS# signal. A logic 1 on the CTS# pin will stop UART transmitter as soon as the current character has finished transmission, and a logic 0 will resume data transmission. Normally MSR bit-4 bit is the compliment of the CTS# input. However in the loopback mode, this bit is equivalent to the RTS# bit in the MCR register. The CTS# input may be used as a general purpose input when the modem interface is not used. MSR[5]: DSR Input Status DSR# (active high, logical 1). This input may be used for auto DTR/DSR flow control function, see auto \hardware flow control section. Normally this bit is the compliment of the DSR# input. In the loopback mode, this bit is equivalent to the DTR# bit in the MCR register. The DSR# input may be used as a general purpose input when the modem interface is not used. MSR[6]: RI Input Status RI# (active high, logical 1). Normally this bit is the compliment of the RI# input. In the loopback mode this bit is equivalent to bit-2 in the MCR register. The RI# input may be used as a general purpose input when the modem interface is not used. 40 áç XR17L154 3.3V PCI BUS QUAD UART REV. 1.0.0 MSR[7]: CD Input Status CD# (active high, logical 1). Normally this bit is the compliment of the CD# input. In the loopback mode this bit is equivalent to bit-3 in the MCR register. The CD# input may be used as a general purpose input when the modem interface is not used. Modem Status Register (MSR) - Write Only The upper four bits 4-7 of this register sets the delay in number of bits time for the auto RS485 turn around from transmit to receive. MSR [7:4]: Programmable RS485 Turn-around Delay 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 15 shows the selection. The bits are enabled by EFR bit-4.

The RTS/DTR hysteresis is referenced to the RX FIFO trigger level. After reset, these bits are set to logic 0 selecting the next FIFO trigger level for hardware flow control. Table 16 below shows the 16 selectable hysteresis levels.

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 its logic level from 1 to 0 when finished sending the last stop bit of the last character out of the TSR register. It changes back to logic level 1 from 0 when a data byte is loaded into the THR or transmit FIFO. The change to logic 1 occurs prior sending the start-bit. It also changes the transmitter interrupt from transmit holding to transmit shift register (TSR) empty. 42 áç XR17L154 3.3V PCI BUS QUAD UART REV. 1.0.0 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 Table 13 for complete selection with FCR bit 4-5 and FCTR bit 6-7, i.e. if Table C is used on the receiver with RX FIFO trigger level set to 56 bytes, RTS/DTR# output will de-asserts at 60 and re-asserts at 16. 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 17). 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.

When this bit is set to a logic 1 all enhanced features are enabled. 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[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 to a logic 1 at the next upper trigger or selected hysteresis level. RTS/DTR# will return to a logic 0 when FIFO data falls below the next lower trigger or selected hysteresis level (see FCTR bits 4-7). The RTS# or DTR# output must be asserted (logic 0) 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[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 to logic 1. Transmission resumes when CTS/DSR# pin returns to a logic 0. The selection for CTS# or DSR# is through MCR bit-2. 44 áç XR17L154 3.3V PCI BUS QUAD UART REV. 1.0.0 TXCNT[7:0]: Transmit FIFO Level Counter, read-only Transmit FIFO level byte count from 0x00 (zero) to 0x40 (64). This 8-bit register gives an indication of the number of characters in the transmit FIFO. The FIFO level Byte count register is read only. The user can take advantage of the FIFO level byte counter for faster data loading to the transmit FIFO, which reduces CPU bandwidth requirements. TXTRG [7:0]: Transmit FIFO Trigger Level, write only An 8-bit value written to this register sets the TX FIFO trigger level from 0x00 (zero) to 0x40 (64). The TX FIFO trigger level generates an interrupt whenever the data level in the transmit FIFO falls below this preset trigger level. RXCNT[7:0]: Receive FIFO Level Counter, read-only Receive FIFO level byte count from 0x00 (zero) to 0x40 (64). It gives an indication of the number of characters in the receive FIFO. The FIFO level byte count register is read only. The user can take advantage of the FIFO level byte counter for faster data unloading from the receiver FIFO, which reduces CPU bandwidth requirements. RXTRG[7:0]: Receive FIFO Trigger Level, write-only An 8-bit value written to this register, sets the RX FIFO trigger level from 0x00 (zero) to 0x40 (64). The RX FIFO trigger level generates an interrupt whenever the receive FIFO level rises to this preset trigger level. 45 áç XR17L154 3.3V PCI BUS QUAD UART REV. 1.0.0 TABLE 18: UART[3:0] RESET CONDITIONS REGISTERS RESET STATE DLL Bits 7-0 = 0xXX DLM Bits 7-0 = 0xXX RHR Bits 7-0 = 0xXX THR Bits 7-0 = 0xXX IER Bits 7-0 = 0x00 FCR Bits 7-0 = 0x00 ISR Bits 7-0 = 0x01 LCR Bits 7-0 = 0x00 MCR Bits 7-0 = 0x00 LSR Bits 7-0 = 0x60 MSR Bits 3-0 = logic 0 Bits 7-4 = logic levels of the inputs SPR Bits 7-0 = 0xFF FCTR Bits 7-0 = 0x00 EFR Bits 7-0 = 0x00 TXCNT Bits 7-0 = 0x00 TXTRG Bits 7-0 = 0x00 RXCNT Bits 7-0 = 0x00 RXTRG Bits 7-0 = 0x00 XCHAR Bits 7-0 = 0x00 XON1 Bits 7-0 = 0x00 XON2 Bits 7-0 = 0x00 XOFF1 Bits 7-0 = 0x00 XOFF2 Bits 7-0 = 0x00 I/O SIGNALS RESET STATE TX[ch-3:0] Logic 1 IRTX[ch-3:0] Logic 0 RTS#[ch-3:0] Logic 1 DTR#[ch-3:0] Logic 1 EECK Logic 0 EECS Logic 0 EEDI Logic 0 46 áç XR17L154 3.3V PCI BUS QUAD UART REV. 1.0.0 ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS Power Supply Range 4 Volts Voltage at Any Pin -0.5 to 4V Operating Temperature -40o to +85o C Storage Temperature -65o to +150o C Package Dissipation 500 mW Thermal Resistance (20x20x1.0mm 144-TQFP) theta-ja = 42, theta-jc = 8 oC/W ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS DC ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS FOR 3.3V SIGNALLING TA=0o to 70oC (-40o to +85oC for industrial grade package), Vcc = 3.3V +/-10% unless otherwise specified.
