FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ST16C1550 and ST16C1551 UARTs (here on
denoted as the ST16C155X) are improved versions
of the SSI 73M1550 and SSI 73M2550 UART with
higher operating speed and lower access time. The
ST16C155X provides enhanced UART functions with
16 byte FIFOs, a modem control interface,
independent programmable baud rate generators
with clock rates up to 1.5 Mbps. Onboard status
registers provide the user with error indications and
operational status. System interrupt and modem
control features may be tailored by external software
to meet specific user requirements. An internal
loopback capability allows onboard diagnostics. The
baud rate generator can be configured for either
crystal or external clock input with the exception of
the 28 pin ST16C1551 package (where an external
clock must be provided). Each package type, with the
exception of the 28 pin ST16C155X, provides a
buffered reset output that can be controlled through
user software. DMA monitor signals TXRDY/RXRDY
are not available at the ST16C155X I/O pins but
these signals are accessible through ISR register bits
4-5. Except as listed above, all package versions
have the same features. The ST16C155X is not
compatible with the industry standard 16550 and will
not work with the standard serial port driver in MS
Windows (see pages 16-17 for details). For an MS
Windows compatible UART, see the ST16C550.

1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ST16C155X provides serial asynchronous receive data synchronization, parallel-to-serial and serial-toparallel data conversions for both the transmitter and receiver sections. These functions are necessary for
converting the serial data stream into parallel data that is required in digital data systems. Synchronization for
the serial data stream is accomplished by adding start and stops bits to the transmit data to form a data
character (character orientated protocol). Data integrity is ensured by attaching a parity bit to the data
character. The parity bit is checked by the receiver for any transmission bit errors.
ENHANCED FEATURES
The ST16C155X is an upward solution that provides 16 bytes of transmit and receive FIFO memory, instead of
none in the 16C145X. The 155X is designed to work with high speed modems and shared network
environments, that require fast data processing time. Increased performance is realized in the 155X by the
larger transmit and receive FIFOs. This allows the external processor to handle more networking tasks within a
given time. For example, the ST16C550 with a 16 byte FIFO, unloads 16 bytes of receive data in 93
microseconds (This example uses a character length of 11 bits, including start/stop bits at 115.2Kbps). This
means the external CPU will have to service the receive FIFO less than every 100 microseconds. However
with the 16 byte FIFO in the 155X, the data buffer will not require unloading/loading for 1.53 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 4 selectable levels of FIFO trigger interrupt are provided for
maximum data throughput performance especially when operating in a multi-channel environment. The FIFO
memory greatly reduces the bandwidth requirement of the external controlling CPU, increases performance,
and reduces power consumption.
DATA RATE
The 155X is capable of operation up to 1.5 Mbps with a 24 MHz crystal or external clock input with a 16X
sampling clock (at VCC = 5.0V). With a crystal of 14.7456 MHz and through a software option, the user can
select data rates up to 921.6 Kbps.
The rich feature set of the 155X is available through internal registers. Selectable receive FIFO trigger levels,
selectable baud rates, and modem interface controls are all standard features. Following a power on reset or
an external reset, the 155X is software compatible with the ST16C145X.

2.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS
2.1
Internal Registers
The 155X has a set of enhanced registers for controlling, monitoring and data loading and unloading. 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), and a user accessible scractchpad
register (SPR). All the register functions are discussed in full detail later in “Section 3.0, UART INTERNAL
REGISTERS” on page 14.
2.2
DMA Mode
The DMA Mode (a legacy term) in this document does not mean “Direct Memory Access” but refers to data
block transfer operation. The DMA mode affects the state of the RXRDY and TXRDY bits (ISR bits 5 and 4
respectively). The transmit and receive FIFO trigger levels provide additional flexibility to the user for block
mode operation. The LSR bits 5-6 provide an indication when the transmitter is empty or has an empty
location(s) for more data. The user can optionally operate the transmit and receive FIFO in the DMA mode
(FCR bit-3=1). When the transmit and receive FIFO are enabled and the DMA mode is disabled (FCR bit-3 =
0), the 155X activates the TXRDY & RXRDY output pin for each data transmit or receive operation. When
DMA mode is enabled (FCR bit-3 = 1), the user takes advantage of block mode operation by loading or
unloading the FIFO in a block sequence determined by the programmed trigger level. In this mode, the 155X
sets the TXRDY bit when the transmit FIFO becomes full, and sets the RXRDY pin when the receive FIFO
becomes empty. The following table shows their behavior.

2.3
Crystal Oscillator or External Clock
The 155X includes an on-chip oscillator (XTAL1 and XTAL2). The crystal oscillator provides the system clock
to the Baud Rate Generators (BRG) in the UART. XTAL1 is the input to the oscillator or external clock buffer
input with XTAL2 pin being the output. For programming details, see “Section 2.4, Programmable Baud Rate
Generator” on page 9.
The on-chip oscillator is designed to use an industry standard microprocessor crystal (parallel resonant,
fundamental frequency with 10-22 pF capacitance load, ESR of 20-120 ohms and 100ppm frequency
tolerance) connected externally between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins (see Figure 4). Alternatively, an external
clock can be connected to the XTAL1 pin to clock the internal baud rate generator for standard or custom rates.
Typical oscillator connections are shown in Figure 4. For further reading on oscillator circuit please see
application note DAN108 on EXAR’s web site.

Programmable Baud Rate Generator
The UART has its own Baud Rate Generator (BRG) with a prescaler. 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 clock output of the prescaler goes to the BRG. The BRG further divides this clock by a
programmable divisor between 1 and (216 -1) to obtain a 16X 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 or a reset. 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 of selecting the operating data rate. Table 2 shows the standard data
rates available with a 14.7456 MHz crystal or external clock at 16X clock rate. When using a non-standard data

Transmitter
The transmitter section comprises of an 8-bit Transmit Shift Register (TSR) and 16 bytes of FIFO which
includes a byte-wide Transmit Holding Register (THR). TSR shifts out every data bit with the 16X internal
clock. A bit time is 16 clock periods. The transmitter sends the start-bit followed by the number of data bits,
inserts the proper parity-bit if enabled, and adds the stop-bit(s). The status of the FIFO and TSR are reported in
the Line Status Register (LSR bit-5 and bit-6).
2.5.1
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 16 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.
2.5.2
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.

2.5.3
Transmitter Operation in FIFO Mode
The host may fill the transmit FIFO with up to 16 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.
2.6
Receiver
The receiver section contains an 8-bit Receive Shift Register (RSR) and 16 bytes of FIFO which includes a
byte-wide Receive Holding Register (RHR). The RSR uses the 16X 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 clock rate. After 8 clocks the start bit period should be at
the center of the start bit. At this time the start bit is sampled and if it is still a logic 0 it is validated. Evaluating
the start bit in this manner prevents the receiver from assembling a false character. The rest of the data bits
and stop bits are sampled and validated in this same manner to prevent false framing. If there were any
error(s), they are reported in the LSR register bits 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.
2.6.1
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 16 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.

Special (Enhanced Feature) Mode
The 155X supports the standard features of the ST16C550. In addition the 155X supports some enhanced
features not available for the ST16C550. These features are enabled by IER bit-5 and include a software
controllable (SOFT) reset, power down feature and FIFO monitoring bits.
2.7.1
Soft Reset
Soft resets are useful when the user desires the capability of resetting an externally connected device only.
MCR bit-2 can be used to initiate a SOFT reset at the RST output pin. This does not reset the 155X (only the
RESET input pin can reset the 155X). Soft resets from MCR bit-2 are “ORed” with the RESET input pin.
Therefore both reset types will be seen at the RST output pin.
2.7.2
Power Down Mode
The power down feature (controlled by MCR bit-7) provides the user with the capability to conserve power
when the package is not in actual use without destroying internal register configuration data. This allows quick
turnarounds from power down to normal operation.
2.7.3
TXRDY and RXRDY bits
When IER bit-5 is set to a logic 1, ISR bits 4 and 5 represent the compliment (inversion) of the TXRDY status
and RXRDY status, respectively. See Table 1.
2.8
Internal Loopback
The 155X 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 7 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. Caution: the RX input must be held to a logic 1 during loopback
test else upon exiting the loopback test the UART may detect and report a false “break” signal.

See “Receiver” on page 11.
4.2
Transmit Holding Register (THR) - Write-Only
See “Transmitter” on page 10.
4.3
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:
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 ST16C155X 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 is empty in the non-FIFO
mode or when data in the FIFO falls below the programmed trigger level in the FIFO mode. If the THR is empty
when this bit is enabled, an interrupt will be generated. Note that this interrupt does not behave in the same
manner as the industry standard 16C550. See “Interrupt Clearing:” on page 17.
• Logic 0 = Disable Transmit Ready interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable Transmit Ready interrupt.

REV. 4.2.0
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. LSR bit-1 generates an interrupt immediately when the
character has been received. LSR bits 2-4 generate an interrupt when the character with errors is read out of
the FIFO.
• 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]: Reserved
IER[5]: Special Mode Enable
• Logic 0 = Disable special mode functions (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable special mode functions in addition to basic ST16C1450 functions. Enables ISR bits 4-5
(TXRDY/RXRDY), MCR bit-2 (soft reset) and MCR bit-7 (power down) functions.
IER[7:6]: Reserved
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 5, shows the data values (bits 0-3) 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 and 4.
• 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.
• MSR is by any of the MSR bits 0, 1, 2 and 3.
4.4.2
Interrupt Clearing:
• LSR interrupt is cleared by a read to the LSR register (but flags and tags not cleared until character(s) that
generated the interrupt(s) has been emptied or cleared from FIFO).
• RXRDY interrupt is cleared by reading data until FIFO falls below the trigger level.
• RXRDY Time-out interrupt is cleared by reading RHR until empty.
• TXRDY interrupt is cleared by a read to the ISR register AND disabling the TXRDY interrupt (set IER bit-1 =
0), or by loading data into the TX FIFO.
• MSR interrupt is cleared by a read to the MSR register.

• 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.

LCR[4]: TX and RX Parity Select
If the parity bit is enabled with LCR bit-3 set to a logic 1, LCR BIT-4 selects the even or odd parity format.
• Logic 0 = ODD Parity is generated by forcing an odd number of logic 1’s in the transmitted character. The
receiver must be programmed to check the same format (default).
• Logic 1 = EVEN Parity is generated by forcing an even number of logic 1’s in the transmitted character. The
receiver must be programmed to check the same format.

Baud rate generator divisor (DLL/DLM) enable.
• Logic 0 = Data registers are selected (default).
• Logic 1 = Divisor latch registers are selected.

Modem Control Register (MCR) or General Purpose Outputs Control - Read/Write
The MCR register is used for controlling the serial/modem interface signals or general purpose inputs/outputs.
MCR[0]: DTR# Output
The DTR# pin is a modem control output. If the modem interface is not used, this output may be used as a
general purpose output.
• Logic 0 = Force DTR# output to a logic 1 (default).
• Logic 1 = Force DTR# output to a logic 0.
MCR[1]: RTS# Output
The RTS# pin is a modem control output. If the modem interface is not used, this output may be used as a
general purpose output.
• Logic 0 = Force RTS# output to a logic 1 (default).
• Logic 1 = Force RTS# output to a logic 0.
MCR[2]: OP1# Output/Soft Reset
OP1# is not available as an output pin on the 155X. But it is available for use during Internal Loopback Mode.
In the Loopback Mode, this bit is used to write the state of the modem RI# interface signal.
• Logic 0 = OP1# output (RI# input) is at logic 1 (default).
• Logic 1 = OP1# output (RI# input) is at logic 0.
In normal operation, this bit is associated with the RST (buffered reset) output pin. The logical state of the RST
pin will follow exactly the logical state of the RESET pin. When IER bit-5 = 1, soft resets from MCR bit-2 are
ORed with the state of the RESET input pin. Therefore both reset types will be seen at the RST pin. Note that
asserting MCR bit-2 does not reset the 155X.
• Logic 0 = The RST output pin is a logic 0 (default).
• Logic 1 = The RST output pin is a logic 1.
MCR[3]: OP2# or INT Output Enable
When not in Internal Loopback Mode:
• Logic 0 = INT output is three-state (default).
• Logic 1 = INT output is active high.
OP2# is not available as an output pin on the 155X. But it is available for use during Internal Loopback Mode.
In the Loopback Mode, this bit is used to write the state of the modem CD# interface signal.
• Logic 0 = OP2# output (CD# input) is a logic 1 (default).
• Logic 1 = OP2# output (CD# input) is a logic 0.
MCR[4]: Internal Loopback Enable
• Logic 0 = Disable loopback mode (default).

ST16C1550/51
2.97V TO 5.5V UART WITH 16-BYTE FIFO
REV. 4.2.0
• Logic 1 = Enable local loopback mode, see loopback section and Figure 7.
MCR[6:5]: Reserved
MCR[7]: Power Down Enable
This bit can only be accessed when IER bit-5 = 1.
• Logic 0 = Normal mode (default).
• Logic 1 = Power down mode. See “Power Down Mode” on page 12.
4.8
Line Status Register (LSR) - Read Only
This register provides the status of data transfers between the UART and the host. If IER bit-2 is set to a logic
1, an LSR interrupt will be generated when the character that is ready to be read from the RX FIFO has an
error (parity, framing, overrun, break).
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 received 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 received 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 a logic 0 for at least 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. 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).
22
áç
ST16C1550/51
2.97V TO 5.5V UART WITH 16-BYTE FIFO
REV. 4.2.0
• 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 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# (active high, logical 1). Normally this bit is the compliment of the CTS# input. In the loopback mode, this
bit is equivalent to bit-1 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). Normally this bit is the compliment of the DSR# input. In the loopback mode, this
bit is equivalent to bit-0 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.
MSR[7]: CD Input Status
CD# (active high, logical 1). Normally this bit is the compliment of the CD# input. In the loopback mode this bit
is equivalent to bit-3 in the MCR register. The CD# input may be used as a general purpose input when the
modem interface is not used.
4.10
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.
