FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XR17L1521 (L152) is a monolithic dual PCI Bus
Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART)
in Exar’s PCI Bus UART family. The device is designed to
meet today’s 32-bit PCI Bus and high bandwidth
requirements in communication systems. The global
interrupt source register provides a complete interrupt
status indication for both channels to speed up interrupt
parsing. Each UART is independently controlled and has its
own 16C550 compatible 5G (Fifth Generation) register set,
transmit and receive FIFOs of 64 bytes, fully programmable
transmit and receive FIFO trigger levels, transmit and
receive FIFO level counters, automatic hardware flow
control with programmable hysteresis, automatic software
(Xon/Xoff) flow control, automatic half-duplex control
output, wireless IrDA (Infrared Data Association) infrared
encoder/decoder, 8 multi-purpose definable inputs/outputs,
and a 16-bit general purpose timer/counter.

3.3V PCI BUS DUAL UART
DISCONTINUED
REV. 1.1.0
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The XR17L152 integrates the functions of 2 enhanced 16550 UARTs with the PCI Local Bus interface and a
non-volatile memory interface for PCI bus’s plug-and-play auto-configuration, a 16-bit timer/counter, 8 multipurpose inputs/outputs, and an on-chip oscillator. 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 L152 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 may be 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 both UARTs, timer/counter, multipurpose inputs/outputs, and a special
sleep wake up indicator. There are three sets of registers 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 2 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. See electrical characteristics table for more details.
Each UART has the 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 3 Mbps.
The XR17L152 bus timing and drive capability meets the PCI local bus specification revision 2.2 for 3.3 volt 33
MHz operation over the temperature range. For 5V PCI applications, please use the XR17C152 which meets
the PCI spec for 5V 33MHz operation over the temperature range.
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 XR17L152 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.

1.0 XR17L152 REGISTERS
The XR17L152 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 1K of the PCI bus memory address space. These functions
include both 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. Both 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.

PCI LOCAL BUS CONFIGURATION SPACE REGISTERS
The PCI local bus configuration space registers are responsible for setting up the device’s operating
environment in the PCI local bus. The pre-defined operating parameters of the device 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.

FIFOs are accessible directly from the PCI data bus. This provides easy programming of general operating
parameters to the L152 UART and for monitoring the status of various functions. The registers occupy 1K 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 both 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 2 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 tags.

The Interrupt Status Register
The XR17L152 has a 32-bit wide register [INT0, INT1, INT2 and INT3] to provide interrupt information and
supports two interrupt schemes. The first scheme is a 2-bit indicator in INT0 register representing the 2
channels with the first 3 bits representing each channel from 0 to 1. 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. INT0 bit-1 provides interrupt status for channel 1 and bits 2 to 7 are reserved and
remain at a logic 0.
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 per channel. 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 6-bit interrupt
status for both channels. Bits 8, 9 and 10 represents channel 0 and bits 11,12 and 13 represents channel 1.
Bits 14 to 31 are reserved and remain at logic zero. Both channels interrupt status are available with a single
DWORD read operation. This feature allows the host to quickly vector and serve the interrupts, reducing
service interval, hence, reducing host bandwidth requirements.

INT0 [7:0]
Upon power-up or reset, all bits are a logic 0. A special interrupt condition is generated by the L152 upon
awakening from sleep after both 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-1
indicates channel 1. Logic one indicates the channel N [1:0] has requested for service. Bits 2 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.

crystal oscillator or externally on pin TMRCK. The timer can be set to be a single-shot for a one-time event or
re-triggerable for a continuous 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.

to idle. The UART enters Sleep mode when there is no interrupt pending. When both UARTs are put to sleep,
the on-chip oscillator shuts off to further conserve power. In this case, the XR17L152 is awakened on any of
the channels by 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

Device Identification and Revision
There are 2 internal registers that provide device identification and revision, DVID and DREV registers. The 8bit content in the DVID register provides device identification. A return value of 0x22 from this register indicates
the device is an XR17C152 or an XR17L152. 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]
Device identification for the type of UART. The upper nibble indicates it is an XR17Cxxx or XR17Lxxx series
device with lower nibble indicating the number of channels.
Examples:
XR17C158 = 0x28
XR17C154 or XR17L154 = 0x24
XR17C152 or XR17L152 = 0x22
DREV [7:0]
Revision number of the XR17L152. 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 both 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.

Multi-Purpose Inputs and Outputs
The L152 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 three-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 three-state condition for signal sharing.

2.0 CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR / BUFFER
The L152 includes an on-chip oscillator (XTAL1 and XTAL2). The crystal oscillator provides the system clock to
the Baud Rate Generators (BRG) in each of the 2 UARTs, the 16-bit general purpose timer/counter and
internal logics. XTAL1 is the input to the oscillator or external clock buffer input with XTAL2 pin being the output.
See 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 2 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.

There are two methods to load transmit data and unload receive data from each UART channel. First, there is
a transmit data register and receive data register for each UART channel 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 tags. 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 tags without having to read the LSR register separately. Furthermore, the
XR17L152 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 tags before reading the data
byte.

FIFO DATA LOADING AND UNLOADING THROUGH THE UART CHANNEL REGISTERS, THR

The THR and RHR register address for channel 0 to channel 1 is shown in Table 8 below. The THR and RHR
for each channel 0 tand 1 are located sequentially at address 0x0000 and 0x0200. Transmit data byte is loaded
to the THR when writing to that address and receive data is unloaded from the RHR register when reading that
address. Both THR and RHR registers are 16C550 compatible in 8-bit format, so each bus operation can only
write or read in bytes.

4.0 UART
There are 2 UARTs [channels 1:0] in the L152. 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.

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.

Programming the Baud Rate Generator Registers DLM and DLL provides the capability for selecting the
operating data rate. 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. When using a non-standard data
rate crystal or external clock, the divisor value can be calculated with the following equation(s).
divisor (decimal) = (XTAL1 clock frequency / prescaler) / (serial data rate x 16), WITH 8XMODE [1:0] IS 0
divisor (decimal) = (XTAL1 clock frequency / prescaler) / (serial data rate x 8), WITH 8XMODE [1:0] IS 1

Automatic Hardware (RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR) Flow Control Operation
Automatic RTS/DTR and CTS/DSR flow control, also known as hardware flow control, is used to prevent data
overrun to the local receiver FIFO and remote receiver FIFO. The RTS#/DTR# output pin is used to request
remote unit to suspend/restart data transmission while the CTS#/DSR# input pin is monitored to suspend/
restart local transmitter. The auto RTS/DTR and auto CTS/DSR flow control features are individually selected
to fit specific application requirement and enabled through EFR bit-6 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.

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

Infrared Mode
Each UART in the L152 includes the infrared encoder and decoder compatible to the IrDA (Infrared Data
Association) version 1.0. The input pin ENIR conveniently activates both 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[1:0], would
idle at logic zero level. Likewise, the RX[1:0] 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.

Internal Loopback
Each UART channel provides an internal loopback capability for system diagnostic. The internal loopback
mode is enabled by setting MCR register bit-4 to logic 1. All regular UART functions operate normally.
Figure 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.

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.

4.6.3
Transmitter Operation in FIFO
The host may fill the transmit FIFO with up to 64 bytes of transmit data. The THR empty flag (LSR bit-5) is set
whenever the FIFO is empty. The THR empty flag can generate a transmit empty interrupt (ISR bit-1) when the
amount of data in the FIFO falls below its programmed trigger level (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 during
powerup or reset by the EN485# pin or in software by FCTR bit-5. It de-asserts RTS# or DTR# after a specified
delay indicated in MSR[7:4] following the last stop bit of the last character that has been transmitted. This helps
in turning around the transceiver to receive the remote station’s response. The delay optimizes the time
needed for the last transmission to reach the farthest station on a long cable network before switching off the
line driver. This delay prevents undesirable line signal disturbance that causes signal degradation. It also
changes the transmitter empty interrupt to TSR empty instead of THR empty.

Receiver
The receiver section contains an 8-bit Receive Shift Register (RSR) and Receive Holding Register (RHR). The
RSR uses the 16X or 8X clock for timing. It verifies and validates every bit on the incoming character in the
middle of each data bit. On the falling edge of a start or false start bit, an internal receiver counter starts
counting at the 16X or 8X clock rate. After 8 or 4 clocks the start bit period should be at the center of the start
bit. At this time the start bit is sampled and if it is still a logic 0 it is validated. Evaluating the start bit in this
manner prevents the receiver from assembling a false character. The rest of the data bits and stop bits are
sampled and validated in this same manner to prevent false framing. If there were any error(s), they are
reported in the LSR 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 LSR bits are
immediately updated to reflect the status of the data byte in the RHR. The 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.

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. The RHR is also part of the receive FIFO of 64
bytes by 11-bit wide, 3 extra bits are for the error tags in LSR. When the FIFO is enabled by FCR bit-0, the
RHR contains the first data character received by the FIFO. After the RHR is read, the next character byte is
loaded into the RHR and the errors associated with the current data byte are immediately updated in the LSR
bits 1-4.

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 L152 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 a data error in at least one character in the RX FIFO.
IER[0]: RHR Interrupt Enable
The receive data ready interrupt will be issued when RHR has a data character in the non-FIFO mode or when
the receive FIFO has reached the programmed trigger level in the FIFO mode.
• Logic 0 = Disable the receive data ready interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the receiver data ready interrupt.
IER[1]: THR Interrupt Enable
This 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
If any of the LSR register bits 1, 2, 3 or 4 is a logic 1, it will generate an interrupt to inform the host controller
about the error status of the current data byte in FIFO. An interrupt is generated immediately when a character
with an error has been received.
• Logic 0 = Disable the receiver line status interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the receiver line status interrupt.

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 0 = Disable the CTS# interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the CTS# interrupt. The UART issues an interrupt when CTS# input pin makes a transition
low to high.
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.
• 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 (from low to high) 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 (from low to high) 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 (but LSR status bits are not cleared).
• 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.
• RTS#/DTR# and CTS#/DSR# input status change interrupt is cleared by a read to the MSR register.

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 a logic 1.
• 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.

FCR[3]: DMA Mode Select
This bit is only active when FCR bit-0 is a logic 1.
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. Note that the receiver and the transmitter
cannot use different trigger tables. Whichever selection is made last applies to both the RX and TX side.
FCR[7:6]: Receive FIFO Trigger Select
(logic 0 = default, RX trigger level =1)
The FCTR Bits 6-7 are associated with these 2 bits. These 2 bits are used to set the trigger level for the

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

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

MCR[3]: (OP2)
The OP2 output is not available in the XR17L152. 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

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.

• 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. The receive character did not have a valid stop bit(s). This error is associated with
the character available for reading in RHR.
LSR[4]: Receive Break Flag
• 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.

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.

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]
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.

FCTR[4]: Infrared RX Input Logic Select
• Logic 0 = Select RX input as active high encoded IrDA data, normal, (default).
• Logic 1 = Select RX input as active low encoded IrDA data, inverted.
FCTR[5]: Auto RS485 Enable
This bit overrides the EN485# pin selection.
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.

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 deasserts 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

EFR[4]: Enhanced Function Bits Enable
Enhanced function control bit. This bit enables the functions in IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 4-5, and
MCR bits 5-7 to be modified. After modifying any enhanced bits, EFR bit-4 can be set to a logic 0 to latch the
new values. This feature prevents legacy software from altering or overwriting the enhanced functions once
set. Normally, it is recommended to leave it enabled, logic 1.
• Logic 0 = modification disable/latch enhanced features. IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 4-5, and MCR
bits 5-7 are saved to retain the user settings. After a reset, the IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 4-5, and
MCR bits 5-7 are set to a logic 0 to be compatible with ST16C554 mode (default).
• Logic 1 = Enables the enhanced functions. 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.
