GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XR20M11701 (M1170) is a high performance
universal asynchronous receiver and transmitter
(UART) with 64 byte TX and RX FIFOs and a
selectable I2C/SPI slave interface. The M1170
operates from 1.62 to 3.63 volts. The enhanced
features in the M1170 include a programmable
fractional baud rate generator, an 8X and 4X
sampling rate that allows for a maximum baud rate of
16 Mbps at 3.3V. The standard features include 16
selectable TX and RX FIFO trigger levels, automatic
hardware (RTS/CTS) and software (Xon/Xoff) flow
control, and a complete modem interface. Onboard
registers provide the user with operational status and
data error flags. An internal loopback capability
allows system diagnostics. The M1170 is available in
the 28-pin QFN, 24-pin QFN, 16-pin QFN, 24-pin
TSSOP and 16-pin TSSOP packages. The 28-pin
QFN package has the EN485# and ENIR# pins to
allow the UART to power-up in the Auto RS485 mode
or the Infrared mode.

XR20M1170
I2C/SPI UART WITH 64-BYTE FIFO
REV. 1.0.0
1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The XR20M1170 (M1170) integrates a selectable I2C/SPI bus interface with an enhanced Universal
Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART). The configuration registers set is 16550 UART compatible
for control, status and data transfer. Additionally, the M1170 has 64-bytes of transmit and receive FIFOs,
automatic RTS/CTS hardware flow control, automatic Xon/Xoff and special character software flow control,
programmable transmit and receive FIFO trigger levels, infrared encoder and decoder (IrDA 1.0 and 1.1),
programmable fractional baud rate generator with a prescaler of divide by 1 or 4, and data rate up to 16 Mbps
with 4X sampling clock rate. The XR20M1170 is a 1.62V to 3.63V device. The M1170 is fabricated with an
advanced CMOS process.
Enhanced Features
The M1170 UART provides a solution that supports 64 bytes of transmit and receive FIFO memory, instead of
16 bytes in the industry standard 16C550. The M1170 is designed to work with low supply voltage and high
performance data communication systems, that require fast data processing time. Increased performance is
realized in the M1170 by the larger transmit and receive FIFOs, FIFO trigger level control and automatic flow
control mechanism. This allows the external processor to handle more networking tasks within a given time.
For example, the 16C550 with a 16 byte FIFO, unloads 16 bytes of receive data in 1.53 ms (This example uses
a character length of 11 bits, including start/stop bits at 115.2 Kbps). This means the external CPU will have to
service the receive FIFO at 1.53 ms intervals. However with the 64 byte FIFO in the M1170, the data buffer will
not require unloading/loading for 6.1 ms. This increases the service interval giving the external CPU additional
time for other applications and reducing the overall UART interrupt servicing time. In addition, the
programmable FIFO level trigger interrupt and automatic hardware/software flow control is uniquely provided
for maximum data throughput performance especially when operating in a multi-channel system. The
combination of the above greatly reduces the CPU’s bandwidth requirement, increases performance, and
reduces power consumption.
The M1170 supports a half-duplex output direction control signaling pin, RTS#, to enable and disable the
external RS-485 transceiver operation. It automatically switches the logic state of the output pin to the receive
state after the last stop-bit of the last character has been shifted out of the transmitter. After receiving, the logic
state of the output pin switches back to the transmit state when a data byte is loaded in the transmitter. The
auto RS-485 direction control pin is not activated after reset. To activate the direction control function, user has
to set EFCR bit-4 to “1”. This pin is HIGH for receive state and LOW for transmit state. The polarity of the
RTS# pin can be inverted via EFCR bit-5.
Data Rate
The M1170 is capable of operation up to 16 Mbps at 3.3V with 4X internal sampling clock rate, 8 Mbps at 3.3V
with 8X sampling clock rate, and 4 Mbps at 3.3V with 16X internal sampling clock rate. The device can operate
with an external 24 MHz crystal on pins XTAL1 and XTAL2, or external clock source of up to 64 MHz on XTAL1
pin. With a typical crystal of 14.7456 MHz and through a software option, the user can set the prescaler bit for
data rates of up to 3.68 Mbps.
The rich feature set of the M1170 is available through the internal registers. Automatic hardware/software flow
control, programmable transmit and receive FIFO trigger levels, programmable TX and RX baud rates, infrared
encoder/decoder interface, modem interface controls, and a sleep mode are all standard features.
Following a power on reset or an external reset, the M1170 is software compatible with previous generation of
UARTs, 16C450, 16C550 and 16C2550.

2.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS
2.1
CPU Interface
The M1170 can operate with either an I2C-bus interface or an SPI interface. The CPU interface is selected via
the I2C/SPI# input pin.
2.1.1
I2C-bus Interface
The I2C-bus interface is compliant with the Standard-mode and Fast-mode I2C-bus specifications. The I2Cbus interface consists of two lines: serial data (SDA) and serial clock (SCL). In the Standard-mode, the serial
clock and serial data can go up to 100 kbps and in the Fast-mode, the serial clock and serial data can go up to
400 kbps. The first byte sent by an I2C-bus master contains a start bit (SDA transition from HIGH to LOW
when SCL is HIGH), 7-bit slave address and whether it is a read or write transaction. The next byte is the subaddress that contains the address of the register to access. The M1170 responds to each write with an
acknowledge (SDA driven LOW by M1170 for one clock cycle when SCL is HIGH). If the TX FIFO is full, the
M1170 will respond with a negative acknowledge (SDA driven HIGH by M1170 for one clock cycle when SCL is
HIGH) when the CPU tries to write to the TX FIFO. The last byte sent by an I2C-bus master is a stop bit (SDA
transition from LOW to HIGH when SCL is HIGH). See Figures 3 - 5 below. For complete details, see the
I2C-bus specifications.

I2C-bus Addressing
There could be many devices on the I2C-bus. To distinguish itself from the other devices on the I2C-bus, there
are eight possible slave addresses that can be selected for the M1170 using the A1 and A0 address lines.
Table 1 below shows the different addresses that can be selected. Note that there are two different ways to
select each I2C address.

SPI Bus Interface
The SPI interface consists of four lines: serial clock (SCL), chip select (CS#), slave output (SO) and slave input
(SI). The serial clock, slave output and slave input can be as fast as 5 Mbps. To access the device in the SPI
mode, the CS# signal for the M1170 is asserted by the SPI master, then the SPI master starts toggling the SCL
signal with the appropriate transaction information. The first bit sent by the SPI master includes whether it is a
read or write transaction and the UART register being accessed. See Table 3 below.

After the last read or write transaction, the SPI master will set the SCL signal back to its idle state (LOW).
2.2
Device Reset
The RESET# input resets the internal registers and the serial interface outputs in the UART to its default state
(see Table 16). An active low pulse of longer than 40 ns duration will be required to activate the reset function
in the device.
2.3
Internal Registers
The M1170 has a set of enhanced registers for control, monitoring and data loading and unloading. The
configuration register set is compatible to the industry standard ST16C550. These registers function as data
holding registers (THR/RHR), interrupt status and control registers (ISR/IER), a FIFO control register (FCR),
receive line status and control registers (LSR/LCR), modem status and control registers (MSR/MCR),
programmable data rate (clock) divisor registers (DLL/DLM/DLD), and a user accessible Scratchpad Register
(SPR).

Crystal Oscillator or External Clock Input
The M1170 includes an on-chip oscillator (XTAL1 and XTAL2) to produce a clock for both UART sections in the
device. The CPU data bus does not require this clock for bus operation. The crystal oscillator provides a
system clock to the Baud Rate Generators (BRG) section found in each of the UART. XTAL1 is the input to the
oscillator or external clock buffer input with XTAL2 pin being the output. Please note that the input XTAL1 is not
5V tolerant and so the maximum at the pin should be VCC. For programming details, see ““Section 2.6,
Programmable Baud Rate Generator with Fractional Divisor” on page 12.”

The on-chip oscillator is designed to use an industry standard microprocessor crystal (parallel resonant,

tolerance) connected externally between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins (see Figure 11). The programmable
Baud Rate Generator is capable of operating with a crystal oscillator frequency of up to 24 MHz. However, with
an external clock input on XTAL1 pin, it can extend its operation up to 64 MHz (16 Mbps serial data rate) at
3.3V with an 4X sampling rate. For further reading on the oscillator circuit please see the Application Note
DAN108 on the EXAR web site at http://www.exar.com.
2.6
Programmable Baud Rate Generator with Fractional Divisor
Each UART has its own Baud Rate Generator (BRG) with a prescaler for the transmitter and receiver. The
prescaler is controlled by a software bit in the MCR register. The MCR register bit-7 sets the prescaler to divide
the input crystal or external clock by 1 or 4. The output of the prescaler clocks to the BRG. The BRG further
divides this clock by a programmable divisor between 1 and (216 - 0.0625) in increments of 0.0625 (1/16) to
obtain a 16X, 8X or 4X sampling clock of the serial data rate. The sampling clock is used by the transmitter for
data bit shifting and receiver for data sampling. The BRG divisor (DLL, DLM and DLD registers) defaults to the
value of ’1’ (DLL = 0x01, DLM = 0x00 and DLD = 0x00) upon reset. Therefore, the BRG must be programmed
during initialization to the operating data rate. The DLL and DLM registers provide the integer part of the divisor
and the DLD register provides the fractional part of the dvisior. The four lower bits of the DLD are used to select
a value from 0 (for setting 0000) to 0.9375 or 15/16 (for setting 1111). Programming the Baud Rate Generator
Registers DLL, DLM and DLD provides the capability for selecting the operating data rate. Table 6 shows the
standard data rates available with a 24MHz crystal or external clock at 16X clock rate. If the pre-scaler is used
(MCR bit-7 = 1), the output data rate will be 4 times less than that shown in Table 6. At 8X sampling rate, these
data rates would double and at 4X sampling rate, these data rates would quadruple. Also, when using 8X
sampling mode, the bit time will have a jitter of ± 1/16 whenever the DLD is non-zero and is an odd number.
12
XR20M1170
I2C/SPI UART WITH 64-BYTE FIFO
REV. 1.0.0
When using 4X sampling mode, the bit time will have a jitter of ± 1/8 whenever DLD is non-zero, odd and not a
multiple of 4. When using a non-standard data rate crystal or external clock, the divisor value can be
calculated with the following equation(s):
Required Divisor (decimal)=(XTAL1 clock frequency / prescaler) /(serial data rate x 16), with 16X mode, DLD[5:4]=’00’
Required Divisor (decimal)= (XTAL1 clock frequency / prescaler / (serial data rate x 8), with 8X mode, DLD[5:4] = ’01’
Required Divisor (decimal)= (XTAL1 clock frequency / prescaler / (serial data rate x 4), with 4X mode, DLD[5:4] = ’10’
The closest divisor that is obtainable in the M1170 can be calculated using the following formula:
ROUND( (Required Divisor - TRUNC(Required Divisor) )*16)/16 + TRUNC(Required Divisor), where
DLM = TRUNC(Required Divisor) >> 8
DLL = TRUNC(Required Divisor) & 0xFF
DLD = ROUND( (Required Divisor-TRUNC(Required Divisor) )*16)
In the formulas above, please note that:
TRUNC (N) = Integer Part of N. For example, TRUNC (5.6) = 5.
ROUND (N) = N rounded towards the closest integer. For example, ROUND (7.3) = 7 and ROUND (9.9) = 10.
A >> B indicates right shifting the value ’A’ by ’B’ number of bits. For example, 0x78A3 >> 8 = 0x0078.

Transmitter
The transmitter section comprises of an 8-bit Transmit Shift Register (TSR) and 64 bytes of FIFO which
includes a byte-wide Transmit Holding Register (THR). TSR shifts out every data bit with the 16X/8X/4X
internal clock. A bit time is 16 (8 if 8X or 4 if 4X) clock periods (see DLD[5:4]). The transmitter sends the startbit followed by the number of data bits, inserts the proper parity-bit if enabled, and adds the stop-bit(s). The
status of the FIFO and TSR are reported in the Line Status Register (LSR[6:5]).

2.7.1
Transmit Holding Register (THR) - Write Only
The transmit holding register is an 8-bit register providing a data interface to the host processor. The host
writes transmit data byte to the THR to be converted into a serial data stream including start-bit, data bits,
parity-bit and stop-bit(s). The least-significant-bit (Bit-0) becomes first data bit to go out. The THR is the input
register to the transmit FIFO of 64 bytes when FIFO operation is enabled by FCR bit-0. Every time a write
operation is made to the THR, the FIFO data pointer is automatically bumped to the next sequential data
location.
2.7.2
Transmitter Operation in non-FIFO Mode
The host loads transmit data to THR one character at a time. The THR empty flag (LSR bit-5) is set when the
data byte is transferred to TSR. THR flag can generate a transmit empty interrupt (ISR bit-1) when it is enabled
by IER bit-1. The TSR flag (LSR bit-6) is set when TSR becomes completely empty.

Transmitter Operation in FIFO Mode
The host may fill the transmit FIFO with up to 64 bytes of transmit data. The THR empty flag (LSR bit-5) is set
whenever the FIFO is empty. The THR empty flag can generate a transmit empty interrupt (ISR bit-1) when the
amount of data in the FIFO falls below its programmed trigger level. The transmit empty interrupt is enabled by
IER bit-1. The TSR flag (LSR bit-6) is set when TSR/FIFO becomes empty.

Receiver
The receiver section contains an 8-bit Receive Shift Register (RSR) and 64 bytes of FIFO which includes a
byte-wide Receive Holding Register (RHR). The RSR uses the 16X/8X/4X clock (DLD [5:4]) for timing. It
verifies and validates every bit on the incoming character in the middle of each data bit. On the falling edge of
a start or false start bit, an internal receiver counter starts counting at the 16X/8X/4X clock rate. After 8 clocks
(or 4 if 8X or 2 if 4X) the start bit period should be at the center of the start bit. At this time the start bit is
sampled and if it is still a logic 0 it is validated. Evaluating the start bit in this manner prevents the receiver from
assembling a false character. The rest of the data bits and stop bits are sampled and validated in this same
manner to prevent false framing. If there were any error(s), they are reported in the LSR register bits 2-4. Upon
unloading the receive data byte from RHR, the receive FIFO pointer is bumped and the error tags are
immediately updated to reflect the status of the data byte in RHR register. RHR can generate a receive data
ready interrupt upon receiving a character or delay until it reaches the FIFO trigger level. Furthermore, data
delivery to the host is guaranteed by a receive data ready time-out interrupt when data is not received for 4
word lengths as defined by LCR[1:0] plus 12 bits time. This is equivalent to 3.7-4.6 character times. The RHR
interrupt is enabled by IER bit-0.
2.8.1
Receive Holding Register (RHR) - Read-Only
The Receive Holding Register is an 8-bit register that holds a receive data byte from the Receive Shift
Register. It provides the receive data interface to the host processor. The RHR register is part of the receive
FIFO of 64 bytes by 11-bits wide, the 3 extra bits are for the 3 error tags to be reported in LSR register. When
the FIFO is enabled by FCR bit-0, the RHR contains the first data character received by the FIFO. After the
RHR is read, the next character byte is loaded into the RHR and the errors associated with the current data
byte are immediately updated in the LSR bits 2-4.

Auto RTS (Hardware) Flow Control
Automatic RTS hardware flow control is used to prevent data overrun to the local receiver FIFO. The RTS#
output is used to request remote unit to suspend/resume data transmission. The auto RTS flow control
features is enabled to fit specific application requirement (see Figure 17):
• Enable auto RTS flow control using EFR bit-6.
• The auto RTS function must be started by asserting RTS# output pin (MCR bit-1 to logic 1 after it is enabled).
If using the Auto RTS interrupt:
• Enable RTS interrupt through IER bit-6 (after setting EFR bit-4). The UART issues an interrupt when the
RTS# pin makes a transition from low to high: ISR bit-5 will be set to logic 1.
2.10
Auto RTS Halt and Resume
The RTS# pin will not be forced HIGH (RTS off) until the receive FIFO reaches the Halt Level (TCR[3:0]). The
RTS# pin will return LOW after the RX FIFO is unloaded to the Resume Level (TCR[7:4]). Under these
conditions, the M1170 will continue to accept data if the remote UART continues to transmit data. It is the
responsibility of the user to ensure that the Halt Level is greater than the Resume Level. If interrupts are used,
it is recommended that Halt Level > RX Trigger Level > Resume Level. The Auto RTS function is initiated
when the RTS# output pin is asserted LOW (RTS On).
2.11
Auto CTS Flow Control
Automatic CTS flow control is used to prevent data overrun to the remote receiver FIFO. The CTS# input is
monitored to suspend/restart the local transmitter. The auto CTS flow control feature is selected to fit specific
application requirement (see Figure 17):
• Enable auto CTS flow control using EFR bit-7.
If using the Auto CTS interrupt:
• Enable CTS interrupt through IER bit-7 (after setting EFR bit-4). The UART issues an interrupt when the
CTS# pin is de-asserted (HIGH): ISR bit-5 will be set to 1, and UART will suspend transmission as soon as

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.

2.12
Auto Xon/Xoff (Software) Flow Control
When software flow control is enabled (See Table 15), the M1170 compares one or two sequential receive
data characters with the programmed Xon or Xoff-1,2 character value(s). If receive character(s) (RX) match the
programmed values, the M1170 will halt transmission (TX) as soon as the current character has completed
transmission. When a match occurs, the Xoff (if enabled via IER bit-5) flag will be set and the interrupt output
pin will be activated. Following a suspension due to a match of the Xoff character, the M1170 will monitor the
receive data stream for a match to the Xon-1,2 character. If a match is found, the M1170 will resume operation
and clear the flags (ISR bit-4).
Reset initially sets the contents of the Xon/Xoff 8-bit flow control registers to 0x00. Following reset the user can
write any Xon/Xoff value desired for software flow control. Different conditions can be set to detect Xon/Xoff
characters (See Table 15) and suspend/resume transmissions. When double 8-bit Xon/Xoff characters are
selected, the M1170 compares two consecutive receive characters with two software flow control 8-bit values
(Xon1, Xon2, Xoff1, Xoff2) and controls TX transmissions accordingly. Under the above described flow control
mechanisms, flow control characters are not placed (stacked) in the user accessible RX data buffer or FIFO.
In the event that the receive buffer is overfilling and flow control needs to be executed, the M1170 automatically
sends the Xoff-1,2 via the serial TX output to the remote modem when the RX FIFO reaches the Halt Level
(TCR[3:0]). To clear this condition, the M1170 will transmit the programmed Xon-1,2 characters as soon as RX
FIFO falls down to the Resume Level.
2.13
Special Character Detect
A special character detect feature is provided to detect an 8-bit character when bit-5 is set in the Enhanced
Feature Register (EFR). When this character (Xoff2) is detected, it will be placed in the FIFO along with normal
incoming RX data.
The M1170 compares each incoming receive character with Xoff-2 data. If a match exists, the received data
will be transferred to FIFO and ISR bit-4 will be set to indicate detection of special character. Although the
Internal Register Table shows Xon, Xoff Registers with eight bits of character information, the actual number of
bits is dependent on the programmed word length. Line Control Register (LCR) bits 0-1 defines the number of
character bits, i.e., either 5 bits, 6 bits, 7 bits, or 8 bits. The word length selected by LCR bits 0-1 also
determines the number of bits that will be used for the special character comparison.
2.14
Auto RS485 Half-duplex Control
The auto RS485 half-duplex direction control changes the behavior of the transmitter when enabled by EFCR
bit-4. It also changes the behavior of the transmit empty interrupt (see Table 4). When idle, the auto RS485
half-duplex direction control signal (RTS#) is HIGH for receive mode. When data is loaded into the THR for
transmission, the RTS# output is automatically asserted LOW prior to sending the data. After the last stop bit of
the last character that has been transmitted, the RTS# signal is automatically de-asserted. This helps in turning
around the transceiver to receive the remote station’s response. When the host is ready to transmit next polling
data packet, it only has to load data bytes to the transmit FIFO. The transmitter automatically re-asserts RTS#
(LOW) output prior to sending the data. The polarity of the RTS# output pin can be inverted by setting EFCR[5]
= 1.
2.14.1
Normal Multidrop Mode
Normal multidrop mode is enabled when EFCR bit-0 = 1 and EFR bit-5 = 0 (Special Character Detect
disabled). 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 an LSR
interrupt and place the address byte in the RX FIFO. The software then examines the byte and enables the
receiver if the address matches its slave address, otherwise, it does not enable the receiver.
If the receiver has been enabled, the receiver will receive the subsequent data. If an address byte is received,
it will generate an LSR interrupt. The software again examines the byte and if the address matches its slave
address, it does not have to anything. If the address does not match its slave address, then the receiver
should be disabled.

Auto Address Detection
Auto address detection mode is enabled when EFCR bit-0 = 1 and EFR bit-5 = 1. The desired slave address
will need to be written into the XOFF2 register. The receiver will try to detect an address byte that matches the
porgrammed 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 an LSR interrupt. The receiver will then receive the subsequent
data. If another address byte is received and this address does not match the programmed XOFF2 character,
then the receiver will automatically be disabled and the address byte is ignored. If the address byte matches
XOFF2, the receiver will put this byte in the RX FIFO along with the parity bit in the parity error bit.

Infrared Mode
The M1170 UART includes the infrared encoder and decoder compatible to the IrDA (Infrared Data
Association) version 1.0 and 1.1. The IrDA 1.0 standard that stipulates the infrared encoder sends out a 3/16 of
a bit wide HIGH-pulse for each “0” bit in the transmit data stream with a data rate up to 115.2 Kbps. For the
IrDA 1.1 standard, the infrared encoder sends out a 1/4 of a bit time wide HIGH-pulse for each "0" bit in the
transmit data stream with a data rate up to 1.152 Mbps. This signal encoding reduces the on-time of the
infrared LED, hence reduces the power consumption. See Figure 18 below.
The infrared encoder and decoder are enabled by setting MCR register bit-6 to a ‘1’. With this bit enabled, the
infrared encoder and decoder is compatible to the IrDA 1.0 standard. For the infrared encoder and decoder to
be compatible to the IrDA 1.1 standard, EFCR bit-7 will also need to be set to a ’1’. When the infrared feature
is enabled, the transmit data output, TX, idles LOW. Likewise, the RX input also idles LOW, see Figure 18.
The wireless infrared decoder receives the input pulse from the infrared sensing diode on the RX pin. Each
time it senses a light pulse, it returns a logic 1 to the data bit stream.
The UART can be in the infrared mode upon power-up if the ENIR# pin is LOW. After power-up, the infrared
mode can be controlled via MCR bit-6.

Sleep Mode with Auto Wake-Up
The M1170 supports low voltage system designs, hence, a sleep mode is included to reduce its power
consumption when the chip is not actively used.
All of these conditions must be satisfied for the M1170 to enter sleep mode:
■
no interrupts pending for the M1170 (ISR bit-0 = 1)
■
sleep mode of both channels are enabled (IER bit-4 = 1)
■
modem inputs are not toggling (MSR bits 0-3 = 0)
■
RX input pin is idling HIGH
The M1170 stops its crystal oscillator to conserve power in the sleep mode. User can check the XTAL2 pin for
no clock output as an indication that the device has entered the sleep mode.
The M1170 resumes normal operation by any of the following:
■
a receive data start bit transition (HIGH to LOW)
■
a data byte is loaded to the transmitter, THR or FIFO
■
a change of logic state on any of the modem or general purpose serial inputs: CTS#, DSR#, CD#, RI#
If the M1170 is awakened by any one of the above conditions, it will return to the sleep mode automatically
after all interrupting conditions have been serviced and cleared. If the M1170 is awakened by the modem
inputs, a read to the MSR is required to reset the modem inputs. In any case, the sleep mode will not be
entered while an interrupt is pending. The M1170 will stay in the sleep mode of operation until it is disabled by
setting IER bit-4 to a logic 0.
If the serial clock, serial data, and modem input lines remain steady when the M1170 is in sleep mode, the
maximum current will be in the microamp range as specified in the DC Electrical Characteristics on page 42.
A word of caution: owing to the starting up delay of the crystal oscillator after waking up from sleep mode, the
first few receive characters may be lost. The number of characters lost during the restart also depends on your
operating data rate. More characters are lost when operating at higher data rate. Also, it is important to keep
RX input idling HIGH or “marking” condition during sleep mode to avoid receiving a “break” condition upon the
restart. This may occur when the external interface transceivers (RS-232, RS-485 or another type) are also put
to sleep mode and cannot maintain the “marking” condition. To avoid this, the designer can use a 47k-100k
ohm pull-up resistor on the RX input pin.

Internal Loopback
The M1170 UART provides an internal loopback capability for system diagnostic purposes. The internal
loopback mode is enabled by setting MCR register bit-4 to logic 1. All regular UART functions operate normally.
Figure 19 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, RTS# and DTR# pins are held while the CTS#, DSR# CD# and RI# inputs are ignored.
Caution: the RX input pin must be held HIGH during loopback test else upon exiting the loopback test the
UART may detect and report a false “break” signal. Also, Auto RTS/CTS flow control is not supported during
internal loopback.

Interrupt Enable Register (IER) - Read/Write
The Interrupt Enable Register (IER) masks the interrupts from receive data ready, transmit empty, line status
and modem status registers. These interrupts are reported in the Interrupt Status Register (ISR).
4.3.1
IER versus Receive FIFO Interrupt Mode Operation
When the receive FIFO (FCR BIT-0 = 1) and receive interrupts (IER BIT-0 = 1) are enabled, the RHR interrupts
(see ISR bits 2 and 3) status will reflect the following:
26
XR20M1170
I2C/SPI UART WITH 64-BYTE FIFO
REV. 1.0.0
A. The receive data available interrupts are issued to the host when the FIFO has reached the programmed
trigger level. It will be cleared when the FIFO drops below the programmed trigger level.
B. FIFO level will be reflected in the ISR register when the FIFO trigger level is reached. Both the ISR register
status bit and the interrupt will be cleared when the FIFO drops below the trigger level.
C. The receive data ready bit (LSR BIT-0) is set as soon as a character is transferred from the shift register to
the receive FIFO. It is reset when the FIFO is empty.
4.3.2
IER versus Receive/Transmit FIFO Polled Mode Operation
When FCR BIT-0 equals a logic 1 for FIFO enable; resetting IER bits 0-3 enables the XR20M1170 in the FIFO
polled mode of operation. Since the receiver and transmitter have separate bits in the LSR either or both can
be used in the polled mode by selecting respective transmit or receive control bit(s).
A. LSR BIT-0 indicates there is data in RHR or RX FIFO.
B. LSR BIT-1 indicates an overrun error has occurred and that data in the FIFO may not be valid.
C. LSR BIT 2-4 provides the type of receive data errors encountered for the data byte in RHR, if any.
D. LSR BIT-5 indicates THR is empty.
E. LSR BIT-6 indicates when both the transmit FIFO and TSR are empty.
F. LSR BIT-7 indicates a data error in at least one character in the RX FIFO.
IER[0]: RHR Interrupt Enable
The receive data ready interrupt will be issued when RHR has a data character in the non-FIFO mode or when
the receive FIFO has reached the programmed trigger level in the FIFO mode.
• Logic 0 = Disable the receive data ready interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the receiver data ready interrupt.
IER[1]: THR Interrupt Enable
This bit enables the Transmit Ready interrupt which is issued whenever the THR becomes empty in the nonFIFO mode or when spaces in the FIFO is above the programmed trigger level in the FIFO mode. If the THR is
empty when this bit is enabled, an interrupt will be generated.
• Logic 0 = Disable Transmit Ready interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable Transmit Ready interrupt.
IER[2]: Receive Line Status Interrupt Enable
If any of the LSR register bits 1, 2, 3, 4 or 7 is a logic 1, it will generate an interrupt to inform the host controller
about the error status of the current data byte in FIFO. LSR bit-1 generates an interrupt immediately when the
character has been received. LSR bit-7 is set if any character in the RX FIFO has a parity or framing error, or is
a break character. LSR[4:2] always show the error status for the received character available for reading from
the RX FIFO. If IER[2] = 1, an LSR interrupt will be generated as long as LSR[7] = 1, ie. the RX FIFO contains
at lease one character with an error.
• Logic 0 = Disable the receiver line status interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the receiver line status interrupt.
IER[3]: Modem Status Interrupt Enable
• Logic 0 = Disable the modem status register interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the modem status register interrupt.
IER[4]: Sleep Mode Enable (requires EFR bit-4 = 1)
• Logic 0 = Disable Sleep Mode (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable Sleep Mode. See Sleep Mode section for further details.
27
XR20M1170
I2C/SPI UART WITH 64-BYTE FIFO
REV. 1.0.0
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 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# pin makes a transition
from low to high.
IER[7]: CTS# Input Interrupt Enable (requires EFR bit-4=1)
• Logic 0 = Disable the CTS# interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the CTS# interrupt. The UART issues an interrupt when CTS# pin makes a transition from
low to high.
4.4
Interrupt Status Register (ISR) - Read-Only
The UART provides multiple levels of prioritized interrupts to minimize external software interaction. The
Interrupt Status Register (ISR) provides the user with six interrupt status bits. Performing a read cycle on the
ISR will give the user the current highest pending interrupt level to be serviced, others are queued up to be
serviced next. No other interrupts are acknowledged until the pending interrupt is serviced. The Interrupt
Source Table, Table 9, shows the data values (bit 0-5) for the interrupt priority levels and the interrupt sources
associated with each of these interrupt levels.
4.4.1
Interrupt Generation:
• LSR is by any of the LSR bits 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7.
• RXRDY is by RX trigger level.
• RXRDY Time-out is by a 4-char plus 12 bits delay timer.
• TXRDY is by TX trigger level or TX FIFO empty (or transmitter empty in auto RS-485 control).
• MSR is by any of the MSR bits 0, 1, 2 and 3.
• GPIO is when any of the GPIO inputs toggle.
• Receive Xoff/Special character is by detection of a Xoff or Special character.
• CTS# is when its transmitter toggles the input pin (from LOW to HIGH) during auto CTS flow control.
• RTS# is when its receiver toggles the output pin (from LOW to HIGH) during auto RTS flow control.
4.4.2
Interrupt Clearing:
• LSR interrupt is cleared by reading all characters with errors out of the RX FIFO.
• RXRDY interrupt is cleared by reading data until FIFO falls below the trigger level.
• RXRDY Time-out interrupt is cleared by reading RHR.
• TXRDY interrupt is cleared by a read to the ISR register or writing to THR.
• MSR interrupt is cleared by a read to the MSR register.
• GPIO interrupt is cleared by reading the IOState register.
• Xoff interrupt is cleared when Xon character(s) is received.
• Special character interrupt is cleared by a read to ISR.
• RTS# and CTS# flow control interrupts are cleared by a read to the MSR register.

• 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 (See Interrupt Source Table 9).
ISR[4]: Xoff/Xon or Special Character Interrupt Status
This bit is set when EFR[4] = 1 and IER[5] = 1. ISR bit-4 indicates that the receiver detected a data match of
the Xoff character(s). If this is an Xoff interrupt, it is cleared when XON is received. If it is a special character
interrupt, it is cleared by reading ISR.
ISR[5]: RTS#/CTS# Interrupt Status
This bit is enabled when EFR[4] = 1. ISR bit-5 indicates that the CTS# or RTS# has been de-asserted.
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

FIFO Control Register (FCR) - Write-Only
This register is used to enable the FIFOs, clear the FIFOs, set the transmit/receive FIFO trigger levels, and
select the DMA mode. The DMA, and FIFO modes are defined as follows:
FCR[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 ‘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[2]: TX FIFO Reset
This bit is only active when FCR bit-0 is a ‘1’.
• 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
Controls the behavior of the TXRDY# and RXRDY# pins. See DMA operation section for details.
• Logic 0 = Normal Operation (default).
• Logic 1 = DMA Mode.
FCR[5:4]: Transmit FIFO Trigger Select (requires EFR bit-4=1)
(logic 0 = default, TX trigger level = 1)
These 2 bits set the trigger level for the transmit FIFO. The UART will issue a transmit interrupt when the
number of spaces in the FIFO is above 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 10 shows the selections. The UART will issue a
transmit interrupt when the number of available spaces in the FIFO is less than the transmit trigger level.
Table 10 shows the selections.
FCR[7:6]: Receive FIFO Trigger Select
(logic 0 = default, RX trigger level =1)
These 2 bits are used to set the trigger level for the receive FIFO. The UART will issue a receive interrupt when
the number of the characters in the FIFO is greater than the receive trigger level or when a receive data
timeout occurs (see “Section 2.8, Receiver” on page 16).

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 11 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.
• Logic 1 = EVEN Parity is generated by forcing an even number of logic 1’s in the transmitted character. The
receiver must be programmed to check the same format.

Line Status Register (LSR) - Read Only
This register provides the status of data transfers between the UART and the host.
LSR[0]: Receive Data Ready Indicator
• Logic 0 = No data in receive holding register or FIFO (default).
• Logic 1 = Data has been received and is saved in the receive holding register or FIFO.
LSR[1]: Receiver Overrun Error Flag
• Logic 0 = No overrun error (default).
• Logic 1 = Overrun error. A data overrun error condition occurred in the receive shift register. This happens
when additional data arrives while the FIFO is full. In this case the previous data in the receive shift register
is overwritten. Note that under this condition the data byte in the receive shift register is not transferred into
the FIFO, therefore the data in the FIFO is not corrupted by the error.
LSR[2]: Receive Data Parity Error Tag
• Logic 0 = No parity error (default).
• Logic 1 = Parity error. The receive character in RHR does not have correct parity information and is suspect.
This error is associated with the character available for reading in RHR.
LSR[3]: Receive Data Framing Error Tag
• Logic 0 = No framing error (default).
• Logic 1 = Framing error. The receive character did not have a valid stop bit(s). This error is associated with
the character available for reading in RHR.
LSR[4]: Receive Break Error Tag
• Logic 0 = No break condition (default).
• Logic 1 = The receiver received a break signal (RX was LOW for at least one character frame time). In the
FIFO mode, only one break character is loaded into the FIFO.
LSR[5]: Transmit Holding Register Empty Flag
This bit is the Transmit Holding Register Empty indicator. The THR bit is set to a logic 1 when the last data byte
is transferred from the transmit holding register to the transmit shift register. The bit is reset to logic 0
concurrently with the data loading to the transmit holding register by the host. In the FIFO mode this bit is set
when the transmit FIFO is empty, it is cleared when the transmit FIFO contains at least 1 byte.
LSR[6]: THR and TSR Empty Flag
This bit is set to a logic 1 whenever the transmitter goes idle. It is set to logic 0 whenever either the THR or
TSR contains a data character. In the FIFO mode this bit is set to a logic 1 whenever the transmit FIFO and
transmit shift register are both empty.

LSR[7]: Receive FIFO Data Error Flag
• Logic 0 = No FIFO error (default).
• Logic 1 = A global indicator for the sum of all error bits in the RX FIFO. At least one parity error, framing error
or break indication is in the FIFO data. This bit clears when there is no more error(s) in any of the bytes in the
RX FIFO.
4.9
Modem Status Register (MSR) - Read Only
This register provides the current state of the modem interface input signals. 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 for general purpose inputs 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 LOW to HIGH, ending of the ringing signal. A modem status
interrupt will be generated if MSR interrupt is enabled (IER bit-3).
MSR[3]: Delta CD# Input Flag
• 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). Auto CTS flow control allows starting and stopping of local data transmissions based on the
modem CTS# signal. A HIGH on the CTS# pin will stop UART transmitter as soon as the current character has
finished transmission, and a LOW will resume data transmission. Normally MSR bit-4 bit is the complement of
the CTS# input. However in the loopback mode, this bit is equivalent to the RTS# bit in the MCR register. The
CTS# input may be used as a general purpose input when the modem interface is not used.
MSR[5]: DSR Input Status
Normally this bit is the complement 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
Normally this bit is the complement of the RI# input. In the loopback mode this bit is equivalent to bit-2 in the
MCR register. The RI# input may be used as a general purpose input when the modem interface is not used.

Scratch Pad Register (SPR) - Read/Write
This is a 8-bit general purpose register for the user to store temporary data. The content of this register is
preserved during sleep mode but becomes 0xFF (default) after a reset or a power off-on cycle. There are also
two other registers (TLR and FIFO Rdy) that share the same address location as the Scratch Pad Register.
See Table 13.
4.11
Transmission Control Register (TCR) - Read/Write (requires EFR bit-4 = 1)
This register replaces MSR and is accessible only when MCR[6] = 1. This 8-bit register is used to store the RX
FIFO threshold levels to halt/resume transmission during hardware or software flow control.
TCR[3:0]: RX FIFO Halt Level
A value of 0-60 (decimal value of TCR[3:0] multiplied by 4) can be selected as the Halt Level. When the RX
FIFO is greater than or equal to this value, the RTS# output will be de-asserted if Auto RTS flow control is used
or the XOFF character(s) will be transmitted if Auto XON/XOFF flow control is used. It is recommended that
this value is greater than the RX Trigger Level.
TCR[7:4]: RX FIFO Resume Level
A value of 0-60 (decimal value of TCR[7:4] multiplied by 4) can be selected as the Resume Level. When the
RX FIFO is less than or equal to this value, the RTS# output will be re-asserted if Auto RTS flow control is used
or the XON character(s) will be transmitted if Auto XON/XOFF flow control is used. It is recommended that this
value is less than the RX Trigger Level.
4.12
Trigger Level Register (TLR) - Read/Write (requires EFR bit-4 = 1)
This register replaces SPR and is accessible under the conditions listed in Table 13. This 8-bit register is used
to store the RX and TX FIFO trigger levels used for interrupts.
TLR[3:0]: TX FIFO Trigger Level
A value of 4-60 (decimal value of TCR[3:0] multiplied by 4) can be selected as the TX FIFO Trigger Level.
When the number of available spaces in the TX FIFO is greater than or equal to this value, a Transmit Ready
interrupt is generated. For any non-zero value, TCR[3:0] will be used as the TX FIFO Trigger Level. If
TCR[3:0] = 0x0, then the TX FIFO Trigger Level is the value selected by FCR[5:4]. See Table 10.
TLR[7:4]: RX FIFO Trigger Level
A value of 4-60 (decimal value of TCR[7:4] multiplied by 4) can be selected as the RX FIFO Trigger Level.
When the number of characters received in the RX FIFO is greater than or equal to this value, a Receive Data
Ready interrupt is generated (a Receive Data Timeout interrupt is independent of the RX FIFO Trigger Level
and can be generated any time there is at least 1 byte in the RX FIFO and the RX input has been idle for the
timeout period described in “Section 2.8, Receiver” on page 16). For any non-zero value, TCR[7:4] will be
used as the RX FIFO Trigger Level. If TCR[7:4] = 0x0, then the RX FIFO Trigger Level is the value selected by
FCR[7:6]. See Table 10.
4.13
Transmit FIFO Level Register (TXLVL) - Read-only
This register reports the number of spaces available in the TX FIFO. If the TX FIFO is empty, the TXLVL

Receive FIFO Level Register (RXLVL) - Read-only
This register reports the number of characters available in the RX FIFO. If the RX FIFO is empty, the RXLVL
register will report that there are 0 characters available. If the RX FIFO is full, the RXLVL register will report
that there are 64 characcters available.

• Logic 1 = GPIO[7:4] behave as RI#, CD#, DTR#, DSR#
IOControl[0]: IO Latch
This bit enable/disable GPIO inputs latching.
• Logic 0 = GPIO input values are not latched. A change in any GPIO input generates an interrupt. A read of
the IOState register clears the interrupt. If the input goes back to its initial logic state before the input register
is read, then the interrupt is cleared.
• Logic 1 = GPIO input values are latched. A change in the GPIO input generates an interrupt and the input
logic value is loaded in the bit of the corresponding input state register (IOState). A read of the IOState
register clears the interrupt. If the input pin goes back to its initial logic state before the interrupt register is
read, then the interrupt is not cleared and the corresponding bit of the IOState register keeps the logic value
that generated the interrupt.

EFR[4]: Enhanced Function Bits Enable
Enhanced function control bit. This bit enables IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 4-5, MCR bits 5-7, TCR,
TLR and DLD to be modified. After modifying any enhanced bits, EFR bit-4 can be set to a logic 0 to latch the
new values. This feature prevents legacy software from altering or overwriting the enhanced functions once
set. Normally, it is recommended to leave it enabled, logic 1.
• Logic 0 = modification disable/latch enhanced features. IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 4-5, MCR bits 57, and DLD are saved to retain the user settings. After a reset, the IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 4-5,
MCR bits 5-7, and DLD are set to a logic 0 to be compatible with ST16C550 mode (default).
• Logic 1 = Enables the above-mentioned register bits to be modified by the user.
EFR[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 receive 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 of 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, if enabled via IER bit-5.
EFR[6]: Auto RTS Flow Control Enable
RTS# output may be used for hardware flow control by setting EFR bit-6 to logic 1. When Auto RTS is
selected, an interrupt will be generated when the receive FIFO is filled to the programmed trigger level and
RTS de-asserts HIGH at the programmed HALT level. RTS# will return LOW when FIFO data falls below the
programmed RESUME level. The RTS# output must be asserted (LOW) before the auto RTS can take effect.
RTS# pin will function as a general purpose output when hardware flow control is disabled.
• Logic 0 = Automatic RTS flow control is disabled (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable Automatic RTS flow control.
EFR[7]: Auto CTS Flow Control Enable
