SC16C850 2.5 V to 3.3 V UART, 5 Mbit/s (max.) with 128-byte FIFOs, infrared (IrDA), and 16 mode or 68 mode parallel bus interface Rev. 01 — 10 January 2008 Product data sheet 1. General description The SC16C850 is a 2.5 V to 3.3 V, low power, single channel Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) used for serial data communications. Its principal function is to convert parallel data into serial data and vice versa. The UART can handle serial data rates up to 5 Mbit/s. The SC16C850 is functionally (software) compatible with the SC16C650B. SC16C850 can be programmed to operate in extended mode (see Section 6.2) where additional advanced UART features are available. The SC16C850 UART provides enhanced UART functions with 128-byte FIFOs, modem control interface, and IrDA encoder/decoder. On-board status registers provide the user with error indications and operational status. System interrupts and modem control features may be tailored by software to meet specific user requirements. An internal loopback capability allows on-board diagnostics. The SC16C850IBS with Intel (16 mode) or Motorola (68 mode) bus host interface operates at 2.5 V to 3.3 V and is available in a very small (Micro-UART) HVQFN32 package. The SC16C850IET with Intel (16 mode) bus host interface operates at 2.5 V to 3.3 V and is available in a very small TFBGA36 package. 2.

Functional description The SC16C850 provides serial asynchronous receive data synchronization, parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel data conversions for both the transmitter and receiver sections. These functions are necessary for converting the serial data stream into parallel data that is required with digital data systems. Synchronization for the serial data stream is accomplished by adding start and stop bits to the transmit data to form a data character (character orientated protocol). Data integrity is ensured by attaching a parity bit to the data character. The parity bit is checked by the receiver for any transmission bit errors. The electronic circuitry to provide all these functions is fairly complex, especially when manufactured on a single integrated silicon chip. The SC16C850 represents such an integration with greatly enhanced features. The SC16C850 is fabricated with an advanced CMOS process. The SC16C850 is an upward solution to the SC16C650B that provides a single UART capability with 128 bytes of transmit and receive FIFO memory, instead of 32 bytes for the SC16C650B and 16 bytes in the SC16C550B. The SC16C850 is designed to work with high speed modems and shared network environments that require fast data processing time. Increased performance is realized in the SC16C850 by the transmit and receive FIFOs. This allows the external processor to handle more networking tasks within a given time. In addition, the four selectable receive and transmit FIFO trigger interrupt levels are provided in 16C650 mode, or 128 programmable levels are provided in the extended mode for maximum data throughput performance especially when operating in a multi-channel environment (see Section 6.2 “Extended mode (128-byte FIFO)”). The FIFO memory greatly reduces the bandwidth requirement of the external controlling CPU and increases performance. A low power pin (LOWPWR) is provided to further reduce power consumption by isolating the host bus interface. The SC16C850 is capable of operation up to 5 Mbit/s with an external 80 MHz clock. With a crystal, the SC16C850 is capable of operation up to 1.5 Mbit/s. The rich feature set of the SC16C850 is available through internal registers. These features are: selectable and programmable receive and transmit FIFO trigger levels, selectable TX and RX baud rates, and modem interface controls, and are all standard features. Following a power-on reset, an external reset, or a software reset, the SC16C850 is software compatible with the previous generation, SC16C550B, and SC16C650B. 6.1 UART selection The UART provides the user with the capability to bidirectionally transfer information between an external CPU, the SC16C850 package, and an external serial device.

In this mode the transmit and receive trigger levels are backward compatible to the SC16C650B (see Table 6), and the FIFO sizes are 32 entries. The transmit and receive data FIFOs are enabled by the FIFO Control Register bit 0 (FCR[0]). It should be noted that the user can set the transmit trigger levels by writing to the FCR, but activation will not take place until EFR[4] is set to a logic 1. The receiver FIFO section includes a time-out function to ensure data is delivered to the external CPU (see Section 6.8). Please refer to Table 11 and Table 12 for the setting of FCR[7:4]. Table 6.

TXINTLVL sets the trigger levels for the transmit FIFO, and the transmit trigger levels can be set to any value between 1 and 128 with granularity of 1. RXINTLVL sets the trigger levels for the receive FIFO, the receive trigger levels can be set to any value between 1 and 128 with granularity of 1. When the effective FIFO size changes (that is, when FCR[0] toggles or when the combined content of TXINTLVL, RXINTLVL, FLWCNTH and FLWCNTL changes between equal and unequal to 0x00), both RX FIFO and TX FIFO will be reset (data in the FIFO will be lost).

Rev. 01 — 10 January 2008 11 of 53 SC16C850 NXP Semiconductors 2.5 V to 3.3 V UART with 128-byte FIFOs and IrDA encoder/decoder 6.5 Hardware flow control When automatic hardware flow control is enabled, the SC16C850 monitors the CTS pin for a remote buffer overflow indication and controls the RTS pin for local buffer overflows. Automatic hardware flow control is selected by setting EFR[6] (RTS) and EFR[7] (CTS) to a logic 1. If CTS transitions from a logic 0 to a logic 1 indicating a flow control request, ISR[5] will be set to a logic 1 (if enabled via IER[7:6]), and the SC16C850 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 a logic 0, indicating more data may be sent. When AFCR1[2] is set to logic 1 then the function of CTS pin is mapped to the DSR pin, and the function of RTS is mapped to DTR pin. DSR and DTR pins will behave as described above for CTS and RTS. With the automatic hardware flow control function enabled, an interrupt is generated when the receive FIFO reaches the programmed trigger level. The RTS (or DTR) pin will not be forced to a logic 1 (RTS off), until the receive FIFO reaches the next trigger level. However, the RTS (or DTR) pin will return to a logic 0 after the receive buffer (FIFO) is unloaded to the next trigger level below the programmed trigger level. Under the above described conditions, the SC16C850 will continue to accept data until the receive FIFO is full. When the TXINTLVL, RXINTLVL, FLWCNTH and FLWCNTL in the ‘first extra feature register set’ are all zeroes, the hardware and software flow control trigger levels are set by FCR[7:4]; see Table 6. When the TXINTLVL, RXINTLVL, FLWCNTH or FLWCNTL in the ‘first extra feature register set’ contain any value other than 0x00, the hardware and software flow control trigger levels are set by FLWCNTH and FLWCNTL. The content in FLWCNTH determines how many bytes are in the receive FIFO before RTS (or DTR) is de-asserted or Xoff is sent. The content in FLWCNTL determines how many bytes are in the receive FIFO before RTS (or DTR) is asserted, or Xon is sent. In 128-byte FIFO mode, hardware and software flow control trigger levels can be set to any value between 1 and 128 in granularity of 1. The value of FLWCNTH should always be greater than FLWCNTL. The UART does not check for this condition automatically, and if this condition is not met, spurious operation of the device might occur. When using FLWCNTH and FLWCNTL, these registers must be initialized to proper values before hardware or software flow control is enabled via the EFR register. 6.6 Software flow control When software flow control is enabled, the SC16C850 compares one or two sequentially received data characters with the programmed Xon or Xoff character value(s). If the received character(s) match the programmed Xoff values, the SC16C850 will halt transmission (TX) as soon as the current character(s) has completed transmission. When a match occurs, ISR bit 4 will be set (if enabled via IER[5]) and the interrupt output pin (if receive interrupt is enabled) will be activated. Following a suspension due to a match of the Xoff characters’ values, the SC16C850 will monitor the receive data stream for a match to the Xon1/Xon2 character value(s). If a match is found, the SC16C850 will resume operation and clear the flags (ISR[4]). SC16C850_1 Product data sheet © NXP B.V. 2008. All rights reserved. Rev. 01 — 10 January 2008 12 of 53 SC16C850 NXP Semiconductors 2.5 V to 3.3 V UART with 128-byte FIFOs and IrDA encoder/decoder Reset initially sets the contents of the Xon/Xoff 8-bit flow control registers to a logic 0. Following reset, the user can write any Xon/Xoff value desired for software flow control. Different conditions can be set to detect Xon/Xoff characters and suspend/resume transmissions (see Table 24). When double 8-bit Xon/Xoff characters are selected, the SC16C850 compares two consecutive receive characters with two software flow control 8-bit values (Xon1, Xon2, Xoff1, Xoff2) and controls TX transmissions accordingly. Under the above described flow control mechanisms, flow control characters are not placed (stacked) in the receive FIFO. When using software flow control, the Xon/Xoff characters cannot be used for data transfer. In the event that the receive buffer is overfilling, the SC16C850 automatically sends an Xoff character (when enabled) via the serial TX output to the remote UART. The SC16C850 sends the Xoff1/Xoff2 characters as soon as the number of received data in the receive FIFO passes the programmed trigger level. To clear this condition, the SC16C850 will transmit the programmed Xon1/Xon2 characters as soon as the number of characters in the receive FIFO drops below the programmed trigger level. 6.7 Special character detect A special character detect feature is provided to detect an 8-bit character when EFR[5] is set. When an 8-bit character is detected, it will be placed on the user-accessible data stack along with normal incoming RX data. This condition is selected in conjunction with EFR[3:0] (see Table 24). Note that software flow control should be turned off when using this special mode by setting EFR[3:0] to all zeroes. The SC16C850 compares each incoming receive character with Xoff2 data. If a match occurs, the received data will be transferred to the FIFO, and ISR[4] will be set to indicate detection of a special character. Although Table 8 “SC16C850 internal registers” shows Xon1, Xon2, Xoff1, Xoff2 with eight bits of character information, the actual number of bits is dependent on the programmed word length. Line Control Register bits LCR[1:0] define the number of character bits, that is, either 5 bits, 6 bits, 7 bits or 8 bits. The word length selected by LCR[1:0] also determines the number of bits that will be used for the special character comparison. Bit 0 in Xon1, Xon2, Xoff1, Xoff2 corresponds with the LSB bit for the received character. 6.8 Interrupt priority and time-out interrupts The interrupts are enabled by IER[7:0]. Care must be taken when handling these interrupts. Following a reset, if Interrupt Enable Register (IER) bit 1 = 1, the SC16C850 will issue a Transmit Holding Register interrupt. This interrupt must be serviced prior to continuing operations. The ISR indicates the current singular highest priority interrupt only. A condition can exist where a higher priority interrupt masks the lower priority interrupt(s) (see Table 13). Only after servicing the higher pending interrupt will the lower priority interrupt(s) be reflected in the status register. Servicing the interrupt without investigating further interrupt conditions can result in data errors. Receive Data Ready and Receive Time-Out have the same interrupt priority (when enabled by IER[0]), and it is important to serve these interrupts correctly. The receiver issues an interrupt after the number of characters have reached the programmed trigger level. In this case, the SC16C850 FIFO may hold more characters than the programmed trigger level. Following the removal of a data byte, the user should re-check LSR[0] to see if there are any additional characters. A Receive Time-Out will not occur if the receive FIFO is empty. The time-out counter is reset at the center of each stop bit received or SC16C850_1 Product data sheet © NXP B.V. 2008. All rights reserved.

The actual time-out value is 4 character time, including data information length, start bit, parity bit, and the size of stop bit, that is, 1×, 1.5×, or 2× bit times. 6.9 Programmable baud rate generator The SC16C850 UART contains a programmable rational baud rate generator that takes any clock input and divides it by a divisor in the range between 1 and (216 − 1). The SC16C850 offers the capability of dividing the input frequency by rational divisor. The fractional part of the divisor is controlled by the CLKPRES register in the ‘first extra feature register set’. f XTAL1 baud rate = ------------------------------------------------------------------M MCR [ 7 ] × 16 × N + ----- 16 (1) where: N is the integer part of the divisor in DLL and DLM registers; M is the fractional part of the divisor in CLKPRES register; fXTAL1 is the clock frequency at XTAL1 pin. Prescaler = 1 when MCR[7] is set to 0. Prescaler = 4 when MCR[7] is set to 1. CLKPRES [3:0] DIVIDE-BY-1 MCR[7] = 0 XTAL1 XTAL2 BAUD RATE GENERATOR (DLL, DLM) OSCILLATOR DIVIDE-BY-4 transmitter and receiver clock MCR[7] = 1 002aac645 Fig 6. Prescalers and baud rate generator block diagram A single baud rate generator is provided for the transmitter and receiver. The programmable Baud Rate Generator is capable of operating with a frequency of up to 80 MHz. To obtain maximum data rate, it is necessary to use full rail swing on the clock input. The SC16C850 can be configured for internal or external clock operation. For internal clock operation, an industry standard crystal is connected externally between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins (see Figure 7). Alternatively, an external clock can be connected to the XTAL1 pin (see Figure 8) to clock the internal baud rate generator for standard or custom rates (see Table 7). The generator divides the input 16× clock by any divisor from 1 to (216 − 1). The SC16C850 divides the basic external clock by 16. The baud rate is configured via the CLKPRES, DLL and DLM internal register functions. Customized baud rates can be achieved by selecting the proper divisor values for the MSB and LSB sections of the baud rate generator. SC16C850_1 Product data sheet © NXP B.V. 2008.

In the Loopback mode, the normal modem interface pins are disconnected and reconfigured for loopback internally (see Figure 9). MCR[3:0] register bits are used for controlling loopback diagnostic testing. In the Loopback mode, the transmitter output (TX) and the receiver input (RX) are disconnected from their associated interface pins, and instead are connected together internally. The CTS, DSR, CD, and RI are disconnected from their normal modem control input pins, and instead are connected internally to RTS, DTR, MCR[3] (OP2) and MCR[2] (OP1). Loopback test data is entered into the transmit holding register via the user data bus interface, D[7:0]. The transmit UART serializes the data and passes the serial data to the receive UART via the internal loopback connection. The receive UART converts the serial data back into parallel data that is then made available at the user data interface D[7:0]. The user optionally compares the received data to the initial transmitted data for verifying error-free operation of the UART TX/RX circuits. In this mode, the interrupt pin is 3-stated, therefore, the software must use the polling method (see Section 7.2.2) to send and receive data. SC16C850_1 Product data sheet © NXP B.V. 2008.

It is enabled when EFR[4], the enhanced functions bit, is set and when IER[4] bit is set. 6.11.1 Conditions to enter Sleep mode Sleep mode is entered when: • Modem input pins are not toggling. • The serial data input line, RX, is idle for 4 character time (logic HIGH) and AFCR1[4] is logic 0. When AFCR1[4] is logic 1 the device will go to sleep regardless of the state of the RX pin (see Section 7.21 for the description of AFCR1 bit 4). • The TX FIFO and TX shift register are empty. • There are no interrupts pending. • The RX FIFO is empty. In Sleep mode, the UART clock and baud rate clock are stopped. Since most registers are clocked using these clocks, the power consumption is greatly reduced. Remark: Writing to the divisor latches, DLL and DLM, to set the baud clock, must not be done during Sleep mode. Therefore, it is advisable to disable Sleep mode using IER[4] before writing to DLL or DLM. 6.11.2 Conditions to resume normal operation SC16C850 resumes normal operation by any of the following: • Receives a start bit on RX pin. • Data is loaded into transmit FIFO. • A change of state on any of the modem input pins If the device is awakened by one of the conditions described above, it will return to the Sleep mode automatically after all the conditions described in Section 6.11.1 are met. The device will stay in Sleep mode until it is disabled by setting any channel’s IER bit 4 to a logic 0. When the SC16C850 is in Sleep mode and the host data bus (D[7:0], A[2:0], IOW, IOR, CS) remains in steady state, either HIGH or LOW, the Sleep mode supply current will be in the µA range as specified in Table 36 “Static characteristics”. If any of these signals is toggling or floating then the sleep current will be higher. 6.12 Low power feature A low power feature is provided by the SC16C850 to prevent the switching of the host data bus from influencing the sleep current. When the pin LOWPWR is activated (logic HIGH), the device immediately and unconditionally goes into Low power mode. All clocks are stopped and most host interface pins are isolated to reduce power consumption. The device only returns to normal mode when the LOWPWR pin is de-asserted. The pin can be left unconnected because it has an internal pull-down resistor. SC16C850_1 Product data sheet © NXP B.V. 2008. All rights reserved.

AFCR2[4] will take the precedence over the other two modes; once this bit is set, the transmitter will control the state of the RTS pin. The transmitter automatically asserts the RTS pin (logic 0) once the host writes data to the transmit FIFO, and de-asserts RTS pin (logic 1) once the last bit of the data has been transmitted. To use the auto RS-485 RTS mode the software would have to disable the hardware flow control function. 6.13.2 RS-485 RTS inversion AFCR2[5] reverses the polarity of the RTS pin if the UART is in auto RS-485 RTS mode. When the transmitter has data to be sent it will de-asserts the RTS pin (logic 1), and when the last bit of the data has been sent out the transmitter asserts the RTS pin (logic 0). 6.13.3 Auto 9-bit mode (RS-485) AFCR2[0] is used to enable the 9-bit mode (Multi-drop or RS-485 mode). In this mode of operation, a ‘master’ station transmits an address character followed by data characters for the addressed ‘slave’ stations. The slave stations examine the received data and interrupt the controller if the received character is an address character (parity bit = 1). To use the automatic 9-bit mode, the software would have to disable the hardware and software flow control functions. 6.13.3.1 Normal Multi-drop mode The 9-bit Mode in AFCR2[0] is enabled, but not Special Character Detect (EFR[5]). The receiver is set to Force Parity 0 (LCR[5:3] = 111) in order to detect address bytes. With the receiver initially disabled, it ignores all the data bytes (parity bit = 0) until an address byte is received (parity bit = 1). This address byte will cause the UART to set the parity error. The UART will generate a line status interrupt (IER[2] must be set to ‘1’ at this time), and at the same time puts this address byte in the RX FIFO. After the controller examines the byte it must make a decision whether or not to enable the receiver; it should enable the receiver if the address byte addresses its ID address, and must not enable the receiver if the address byte does not address its ID address. If the controller enables the receiver, the receiver will receive the subsequent data until being disabled by the controller after the controller has received a complete message from the ‘master’ station. If the controller does not disable the receiver after receiving a message from the ‘master’ station, the receiver will generate a parity error upon receiving another address byte. The controller then determines if the address byte addresses its ID address, if it is not, the controller then can disable the receiver. If the address byte addresses the ‘slave’ ID address, the controller takes no further action, and the receiver will receive the subsequent data. SC16C850_1 Product data sheet © NXP B.V. 2008.

Rev. 01 — 10 January 2008 19 of 53 SC16C850 NXP Semiconductors 2.5 V to 3.3 V UART with 128-byte FIFOs and IrDA encoder/decoder 6.13.3.2 Auto address detection If Special Character Detect is enabled (EFR[5] is set and the Xoff2 register contains the address byte) the receiver will try to detect an address byte that matches the programmed character in the Xoff2 register. If the received byte is a data byte or an address byte that does not match the programmed character in the Xoff2 register, the receiver will discard these data. Upon receiving an address byte that matches the Xoff2 character, the receiver will be automatically enabled if not already enabled, and the address character is pushed into the RX FIFO along with the parity bit (in place of the parity error bit). The receiver also generates a line status interrupt (IER[2] must be set to ‘1’ at this time). The receiver will then receive the subsequent data from the ‘master’ station until being disabled by the controller after having received a message from the ‘master’ station. If another address byte is received and this address byte does not match the Xoff2 character, the receiver will be automatically disabled and the address byte is ignored. If the address byte matches the Xoff2 character, the receiver will put this byte in the RX FIFO along with the parity bit in the parity error bit (LSR bit 2). 7.

SC16C850 NXP Semiconductors 2.5 V to 3.3 V UART with 128-byte FIFOs and IrDA encoder/decoder 7.1 Transmit (THR) and Receive (RHR) Holding Registers The serial transmitter section consists of an 8-bit Transmit Hold Register (THR) and Transmit Shift Register (TSR). The status of the THR is provided in the Line Status Register (LSR). Writing to the THR transfers the contents of the data bus (D7 to D0) to the transmit FIFO. The THR empty flag in the LSR will be set to a logic 1 when the transmit FIFO is empty or when data is transferred to the TSR. The serial receive section also contains an 8-bit Receive Holding Register (RHR) and a Receive Serial Shift Register (RSR). Receive data is removed from the SC16C850 receive FIFO by reading the RHR. The receive section provides a mechanism to prevent false starts. On the falling edge of a start or false start bit, an internal receiver counter starts counting clocks at the 16× clock rate. After 71⁄2 clocks, the start bit time should be shifted to 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. Receiver status codes will be posted in the LSR. 7.2 Interrupt Enable Register (IER) The Interrupt Enable Register (IER) masks the interrupts from receiver ready, transmitter empty, line status and modem status registers. These interrupts would normally be seen on the INT output pin. Table 9.

In the non-FIFO mode, this interrupt will be issued when the RHR has data, or is cleared when the RHR is empty. In the FIFO mode, this interrupt will be issued when the FIFO has reached the programmed trigger level or is cleared when the FIFO drops below the trigger level. logic 0 = disable the receiver ready (ISR level 2, RXRDY) interrupt (normal default condition) logic 1 = enable the RXRDY (ISR level 2) interrupt 7.2.1 IER versus Transmit/Receive FIFO interrupt mode operation When the receive FIFO is enabled (FCR[0] = logic 1), and receive interrupts (IER[0] = logic 1) are enabled, the receive interrupts and register status will reflect the following: • The receive RXRDY interrupt (Level 2 ISR interrupt) is issued to the external CPU when the receive FIFO has reached the programmed trigger level. It will be cleared when the receive FIFO drops below the programmed trigger level. • Receive FIFO status will also be reflected in the user accessible ISR register when the receive FIFO trigger level is reached. Both the ISR register receive status bit and the interrupt will be cleared when the FIFO drops below the trigger level. • The receive data ready bit (LSR[0]) is set as soon as a character is transferred from the shift register (RSR) to the receive FIFO. It is reset when the FIFO is empty. • When the Transmit FIFO and interrupts are enabled, an interrupt is generated when the transmit FIFO is empty due to the unloading of the data by the TSR and UART for transmission via the transmission media. The interrupt is cleared either by reading the ISR, or by loading the THR with new data characters. 7.2.2 IER versus Receive/Transmit FIFO polled mode operation When FCR[0] = logic 1, setting IER[3:0] puts the SC16C850 in the FIFO polled mode of operation. In this mode, interrupts are not generated and the user must poll the LSR register for TX and/or RX data status. 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). • • • • • LSR[0] will be a logic 1 as long as there is one byte in the receive FIFO. LSR[4:1] will provide the type of receive errors, or a receive break, if encountered. LSR[5] will indicate when the transmit FIFO is empty. LSR[6] will indicate when both the transmit FIFO and transmit shift register are empty. LSR[7] will show if any FIFO data errors occurred. SC16C850_1 Product data sheet © NXP B.V. 2008.

The Interrupt Status Register (ISR) provides the user with six interrupt status bits. Performing a read cycle on the ISR will provide the user with the highest pending interrupt level to be serviced. No other interrupts are acknowledged until the pending interrupt is serviced. A lower level interrupt may be seen after servicing the higher level interrupt and re-reading the interrupt status bits. Table 13 “Interrupt source” shows the data values (bits 5:0) for the six prioritized interrupt levels and the interrupt sources associated with each of these interrupt levels. Table 13.

While in this mode, the TX/RX output/inputs 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. 5 MCR[5] Interrupt type (Intel mode only). In Intel mode (16/68 = 1), this pin determines the interrupt output pin configuration. logic 0 = CMOS output logic 1 = open-source. A 300 Ω to 500 Ω pull-down resistor is required. In Motorola mode (16/68 = 0), the output is always open-drain. 4 MCR[4] Loopback. Enable the local loopback mode (diagnostics). In this mode the transmitter output (TX) and the receiver input (RX), CTS, DSR, CD, and RI are disconnected from the SC16C850 I/O pins. Internally the modem data and control pins are connected into a loopback data configuration (see Figure 9). In this mode, the receiver and transmitter interrupts remain fully operational. The Modem Control Interrupts are also operational, but the interrupts’ sources are switched to the lower four bits of the Modem Control. Interrupts continue to be controlled by the IER register. logic 0 = disable Loopback mode (normal default condition) logic 1 = enable local Loopback mode (diagnostics) 3 MCR[3] OP2. This bit is used for internal Loopback mode only. In Loopback mode, this bit is used to write the state of the modem CD interface signal. 2 MCR[2] OP1.

Table 20. Line Status Register bits description Bit Symbol Description 7 LSR[7] FIFO data error. logic 0 = no error (normal default condition) logic 1 = at least one parity error, framing error or break indication is in the current FIFO data. This bit is cleared when there are no remaining error flags associated with the remaining data in the FIFO. 6 LSR[6] THR and TSR empty. This bit is the Transmit Empty indicator. This bit is set to a logic 1 whenever the transmit holding register and the transmit shift register are both empty. It is reset to logic 0 whenever either the THR or TSR contains a data character. In the FIFO mode, this bit is set to ‘1’ whenever the transmit FIFO and transmit shift register are both empty. 5 LSR[5] THR empty. This bit is the Transmit Holding Register Empty indicator. This bit indicates that the UART is ready to accept a new character for transmission. In addition, this bit causes the UART to issue an interrupt to CPU when the THR interrupt enable is set. The THR bit is set to a logic 1 when a character is transferred from the transmit holding register into the transmitter shift register. The bit is reset to a logic 0 concurrently with the loading of the transmitter holding register by the CPU. 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. 4 LSR[4] Break interrupt. logic 0 = no break condition (normal default condition) 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. 3 LSR[3] Framing error. logic 0 = no framing error (normal default condition) logic 1 = framing error. The receive character did not have a valid stop bit(s). In the FIFO mode, this error is associated with the character at the top of the FIFO. 2 LSR[2] Parity error. logic 0 = no parity error (normal default condition) logic 1 = parity error. The receive character does not have correct parity information and is suspect. In the FIFO mode, this error is associated with the character at the top of the FIFO. 1 LSR[1] Overrun error. logic 0 = no overrun error (normal default condition) logic 1 = overrun error. A data overrun error 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 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. 0 LSR[0] Receive data ready. logic 0 = no data in Receive Holding Register or FIFO (normal default condition) logic 1 = data has been received and is saved in the Receive Holding Register or FIFO SC16C850_1 Product data sheet © NXP B.V. 2008.

This is a read-only register and it provides the current state of the control interface signals from the modem, or other peripheral device to which the SC16C850 is connected. Four bits of this register are used to indicate the changed information. These bits are set to a logic 1 whenever a control input from the modem changes state. These bits are set to a logic 0 whenever the CPU reads this register. When write, the data will be written to EFCR register. Table 21. Modem Status Register bits description Bit Symbol Description 7 MSR[7] CD. During normal operation, this bit is the complement of the CD input. Reading this bit in the loopback mode produces the state of MCR[3] (OP2). 6 MSR[6] RI. During normal operation, this bit is the complement of the RI input. Reading this bit in the loopback mode produces the state of MCR[2] (OP1). 5 MSR[5] DSR. During normal operation, this bit is the complement of the DSR input. During the loopback mode, this bit is equivalent to MCR[0] (DTR). 4 MSR[4] CTS. During normal operation, this bit is the complement of the CTS input. During the loopback mode, this bit is equivalent to MCR[1] (RTS). 3 MSR[3] ∆CD [1] logic 0 = no CD change (normal default condition) logic 1 = the CD input to the SC16C850 has changed state since the last time it was read. A modem Status Interrupt will be generated. 2 MSR[2] ∆RI [1] logic 0 = no RI change (normal default condition) logic 1 = the RI input to the SC16C850 has changed from a logic 0 to a logic 1. A modem Status Interrupt will be generated. 1 MSR[1] ∆DSR [1] logic 0 = no DSR change (normal default condition) logic 1 = the DSR input to the SC16C850 has changed state since the last time it was read. A modem Status Interrupt will be generated. 0 MSR[0] ∆CTS [1] logic 0 = no CTS change (normal default condition) logic 1 = the CTS input to the SC16C850 has changed state since the last time it was read. A modem Status Interrupt will be generated. [1] Whenever any MSR bit 3:0 is set to logic 1, a Modem Status Interrupt will be generated. SC16C850_1 Product data sheet © NXP B.V. 2008.

Remark: EFCR[2:1] has higher priority than EFCR[0]. TXLVLCNT and RXLVLCNT can only be accessed if EFCR[2:1] are zeroes. 7.10 Scratchpad Register (SPR) The SC16C850 provides a temporary data register to store 8 bits of user information. 7.11 Divisor Latch (DLL and DLM) These are two 8-bit registers which store the 16-bit divisor for generation of the baud clock in the baud rate generator. DLM, stores the most significant part of the divisor. DLL stores the least significant part of the divisor. 7.12 Transmit FIFO Level Count (TXLVLCNT) This register is a read-only register. It reports the number of spaces available in the transmit FIFO. 7.13 Receive FIFO Level Count (RXLVLCNT) This register is a read-only register. It reports the fill level of the receive FIFO (the number of characters in the RX FIFO). SC16C850_1 Product data sheet © NXP B.V. 2008. All rights reserved.

Bits 0 through 4 provide single or dual character software flow control selection. When the Xon1 and Xon2 and/or Xoff1 and Xoff2 modes are selected, the double 8-bit words are concatenated into two sequential numbers. Table 23. Enhanced Feature Register bits description Bit Symbol Description 7 EFR[7] Automatic CTS flow control. logic 0 = automatic CTS flow control is disabled (normal default condition) logic 1 = enable automatic CTS flow control. Transmission will stop when CTS goes to a logical 1. Transmission will resume when the CTS pin returns to a logical 0. 6 EFR[6] Automatic RTS flow control. Automatic RTS may be used for hardware flow control by enabling EFR[6]. When Auto-RTS is selected, an interrupt will be generated when the receive FIFO is filled to the programmed trigger level and RTS will go to a logic 1 at the next trigger level. RTS will return to a logic 0 when data is unloaded below the next lower trigger level (programmed trigger level 1). The state of this register bit changes with the status of the hardware flow control. RTS functions normally when hardware flow control is disabled. logic 0 = automatic RTS flow control is disabled (normal default condition) logic 1 = enable automatic RTS flow control 5 EFR[5] Special Character Detect. logic 0 = special character detect disabled (normal default condition) logic 1 = special character detect enabled. The SC16C850 compares each incoming receive character with Xoff2 data. If a match exists, the received data will be transferred to FIFO and ISR[4] will be set to indicate detection of special character. Bit 0 in the X-registers corresponds with the LSB bit for the receive character. When this feature is enabled, the normal software flow control must be disabled (EFR[3:0] must be set to a logic 0). 4 EFR[4] Enhanced function control bit. The content of IER[7:4], ISR[5:4], FCR[5:4], and MCR[7:5] can be modified and latched. After modifying any bits in the enhanced registers, EFR[4] can be set to a logic 0 to latch the new values. This feature prevents existing software from altering or overwriting the SC16C850 enhanced functions. logic 0 = disable/latch enhanced features[1]. (Normal default condition.) logic 1 = enables the enhanced functions[1]. 3:0 [1] EFR[3:0] Cont-3:0 TX, RX control. Logic 0 or cleared is the default condition. Combinations of software flow control can be selected by programming these bits. See Table 24. Enhanced function control bits IER[7:4], ISR[5:4], FCR[5:4] and MCR[7:5].

Soldering This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 “Surface mount reflow soldering description”. 12.1 Introduction to soldering Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high densities that come with increased miniaturization. 12.2 Wave and reflow soldering Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following: • Through-hole components • Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also, leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered, due to an increased probability of bridging. The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages, packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable. Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are: • • • • • • Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation The moisture sensitivity level of the packages Package placement Inspection and repair Lead-free soldering versus PbSn soldering 12.3 Wave soldering Key characteristics in wave soldering are: • Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are exposed to the wave • Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities SC16C850_1 Product data sheet © NXP B.V. 2008.

Rev. 01 — 10 January 2008 49 of 53 SC16C850 NXP Semiconductors 2.5 V to 3.3 V UART with 128-byte FIFOs and IrDA encoder/decoder 12.4 Reflow soldering Key characteristics in reflow soldering are: • Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 25) than a PbSn process, thus reducing the process window • Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process window for a mix of large and small components on one board • Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with Table 39 and 40 Table 39. SnPb eutectic process (from J-STD-020C) Package thickness (mm) Package reflow temperature (°C) Volume (mm3) < 350 ≥ 350 < 2.5 235 220 ≥ 2.5 220 220 Table 40.
