XR16L580
SMALLEST 2.25V TO 5.5V UART WITH 16-BYTE FIFO AND POWERSAVE
1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The XR16L580 (L580) is an enhanced 16C550 Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART). Its
features set is compatible to the ST16C580 device and additionally offers Intel or Motorola data bus interface
and Power-Save to isolate the data bus interface during Sleep mode. Hence, the L580 adds 2 more inputs: 16/
68# and PwrSave pins. The XR16L580 can operate from 2.25V to 5.5V with 5 volt tolerant inputs. The
configuration registers set is 16550 UART compatible for control, status and data transfer. Also, the L580 has
16-bytes of transmit and receive FIFOs, automatic RTS/CTS hardware flow control, automatic Xon/Xoff and
special character software flow control, transmit and receive FIFO trigger levels, infrared encoder and decoder
(IrDA ver 1.0), programmable baud rate generator with a prescaler of divide by 1 or 4. The L580 is fabricated
using an advanced CMOS process.
Enhanced Features
The L580 UART provides a solution that supports 16 bytes of transmit and receive FIFO memory. The L580 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 L580 by the transmit and receive FIFOs, FIFO
trigger level controls and automatic flow control mechanism. This allows the external processor to handle more
networking tasks within a given time. 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 L580
provides the Power-Save mode that drastically reduces the power consumption when the device is not used.
The combination of the above greatly reduces the CPU’s bandwidth requirement, increases performance, and
reduces power consumption.
Data Bus Interface, Intel or Motorola Type
The L580 provides a host interface that supports Intel or Motorola microprocessor (CPU) data bus interface.
The Intel bus compatible interface allows direct interconnect to Intel compatible type of CPUs using IOR#,
IOW# and CS# inputs for data bus operation. The Motorola bus compatible interface instead uses the R/W#
and CS# signals for data bus transactions. See pin description section for details on all the control signals. The
Intel and Motorola bus interface selection is made through the pin, 16/68#.
Data Rate
The L580 is capable of operation up to 3.125 Mbps at 5V, 2 Mbps at 3.3V and 1 Mbps at 2.5V supply 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 50 MHz on XTAL1 pin. With a typical crystal of 14.7456 MHz, all
standard data rates of up to 921.6 kbps can be generated.
Internal Enhanced Register Sets
The L580 UART has a set of enhanced registers providing control and monitoring functions. Interrupt enable/
disable and status, FIFO enable/disable, selectable TX and RX FIFO trigger levels, automatic hardware/
software flow control enable/disable, programmable baud rates, infrared encoder/decoder enable/disable,
modem interface controls and status, sleep mode and Power-Save mode are all standard features. Following a
power on reset or an external reset (and operating in 16 or Intel Mode), the registers defaults to the reset
condition and its is compatible with previous generation of UARTs, 16C450, 16C550, 16C580, 16C650A and
16C850.

2.1
CPU Interface
The CPU interface is 8 data bits wide with 3 address lines and control signals to execute data bus read and
write transactions. The L580 data interface supports the Intel compatible types of CPUs and it is compatible to
the industry standard 16C550 UART. No clock (oscillator nor external clock) is required to operate a data bus
transaction. Each bus cycle is asynchronous using CS#, IOR# and IOW# or R/W# inputs. A typical data bus
interconnection for Intel and Motorola mode is shown in Figure 3.

2.2
5-Volt Tolerant Inputs
The L580 can accept up to 5V inputs when operating at 3.3V or 2.5V. But note that if the L580 is operating at
2.5V, its VOH may not be high enough to meet the requirements of the VIH of a CPU or a serial transceiver that
is operating at 5V. Note that the XTAL1 pin is not 5V tolerant when external clock supply is used.
2.3
Device Hardware Reset
The RESET or RESET# input resets the internal registers and the serial interface outputs in both channels to
their default state (see Table 11). An active pulse of longer than 40 ns duration will be required to activate the
reset function in the device.
2.4
Device Identification and Revision
The XR16L580 provides a Device Identification code and a Device Revision code to distinguish the part from
other devices and revisions. To read the identification code from the part, it is required to set the baud rate
generator registers DLL and DLM both to 0x00. Now reading the content of the DLM will provide 0x01 to
indicate XR16L580 and reading the content of DLL will provide the revision of the part; for example, a reading
of 0x01 means revision A.
2.5
Internal Registers
The L580 has a set of enhanced registers for control, monitoring and data loading and unloading. The
configuration register set is compatible to those already available in the standard 16C550. 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 an user accessible Scratchpad
register (SPR).
Beyond the general 16C550 features and capabilities, the L580 offers enhanced feature registers (EFR, Xon1,
Xoff 1, Xon1 and Xoff2) that provide automatic RTS and CTS hardware flow control and Xon/Xoff software flow
control. All the register functions are discussed in full detail later in “Section 3.0, UART INTERNAL
REGISTERS” on page 20.
2.6
DMA Mode
The DMA Mode (a legacy term) refers to data block transfer operation. The DMA mode affects the state of the
RXRDY# and TXRDY# output pins available in the original 16C550. These pins are not available in the
XR16L580. The DMA Enable bit (FCR bit-3) does not have any function in this device and can be a ’0’ or a ’1’.
2.7
INT (IRQ#) Output
The interrupt output changes according to the operating mode and enhanced features setup. Table 1 and
Table 2 below summarize the operating behavior for the transmitter and receiver in the Intel and Motorola
modes. Also see Figures 20 through 23.

2.8
Crystal or External Clock Input
The L580 includes an on-chip oscillator (XTAL1 and XTAL2) to generate a clock when a crystal is connected
between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins of the device. Alternatively, an external clock can be supplied through the
XTAL1 pin. 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 input and XTAL2 pin is the bufferred output which can be used as a clock signal for
other devices in the system. Please note that the input XTAL1 is not 5V tolerant and therefore, the maximum
voltage at the pin should be VCC when an external clock is supplied. For programming details, see
“Programmable Baud Rate Generator.”

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 5). When VCC = 5V, the onchip oscillator can operate with a crystal whose frequency is not greater than 24 MHz. On the other hand, the
L580 can accept an external clock of up to 50MHz at XTAL1 pin, with a 2K ohms pull-up resistor on XTAL2 pin
(as shown in Figure 5). This translates to a maximum of 3.125Mbps serial data rate at 5V.

2.9
Programmable Baud Rate Generator
The L580 UART has its own Baud Rate Generator (BRG) with a prescaler. The prescaler is controlled by a
software bit (bit-7) in the MCR register. This bit selects the prescaler to divide the input crystal or external clock
by a factor of 1 or 4. The clock output of the prescaler goes to the BRG. The BRG further divides this clock by
a programmable divisor (via DLL and DLM registers) between 1 and (216 -1) to obtain a 16X sampling rate
clock of the serial data rate. The sampling rate clock is used by the transmitter for data bit shifting and receiver
for data sampling. The BRG divisor defaults to the maximum baud rate (DLL = 0x01 and DLM = 0x00) upon
power up.

Programming the Baud Rate Generator Registers DLM and DLL provides the capability of selecting the
operating data rate. Table 3 shows the standard data rates available with a 14.7456 MHz crystal or external
clock at 16X sampling rate clock rate. When using a non-standard data rate crystal or external clock, the
divisor value can be calculated for DLL/DLM with the following equation.
divisor (decimal) = (XTAL1 clock frequency / prescaler) / (serial data rate x 16)

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).
2.10.1
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.
2.10.2
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 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 Transmitter Empty Flag (LSR bit-6) is set when both the TSR and the FIFO become empty.

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. On the falling edge of a
start or a 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 as a start bit. Evaluating the start bit in this manner prevents the receiver from assembling a false
character. Each of the data, parity and stop bits is sampled at the middle of the bit 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.
2.11.1
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.

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 11):
- 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).
- 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.
2.13
Auto RTS Hysteresis
The L580 has a new feature that provides flow control trigger hysteresis while maintaining compatibility with
the ST16C550 UART. With the Auto RTS function enabled, an interrupt is generated when the receive FIFO
reaches the programmed RX trigger level. The RTS# pin will not be forced to a logic 1 (RTS off), until the
receive FIFO reaches one trigger level above the programmed trigger level in the trigger table (Table 8). The
RTS# pin will return to a logic 0 after the RX FIFO is unloaded to one trigger level lower than the programmed
trigger level. This is described in Figure 11. Under the above described conditions, the L580 will continue to
accept data until the receive FIFO gets full. The Auto RTS function is initiated when the RTS# output pin is
asserted to a logic 0 (RTS On).
2.14
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 11):
- Enable auto CTS flow control using EFR bit-7.
- Enable CTS interrupt through IER bit-7 (after setting EFR bit-4). The UART issues an interrupt when the
CTS# pin is de-asserted (logic 1): ISR bit-5 will be set to 1, and UART will suspend transmission as soon as
the stop bit of the character in process is shifted out. Transmission is resumed after the CTS# input is reasserted (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.

Auto Xon/Xoff (Software) Flow Control
When software flow control is enabled (See Table 10), the L580 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 L580 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 L580 will monitor the
receive data stream for a match to the Xon-1,2 character. If a match is found, the L580 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 a logic 0. Following reset the user
can write any Xon/Xoff value desired for software flow control. Different conditions can be set to detect Xon/
Xoff characters (See Table 10) and suspend/resume transmissions. When double 8-bit Xon/Xoff characters are
selected, the L580 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 L580 automatically
sends an Xoff message (when enabled) via the serial TX output to the remote modem. The L580 sends the
Xoff character(s) two-character-times (= time taken to send two characters at the programmed baud rate) after
the receive FIFO crosses the programmed trigger level. To clear this condition, the L580 will transmit the
programmed Xon character(s) as soon as receive FIFO is less than one trigger level below the programmed
trigger level (see Table 8). The table below describes this.

2.16
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 L580 compares each incoming receive character with the programmed Xoff-2 data. If a match exists, the
received data will be transferred to the RX 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. Bit-0 in the Xon, Xoff Registers corresponds with the LSB bit for the receive character.

Infrared Mode
The L580 UART includes the infrared encoder and decoder compatible to the IrDA (Infrared Data Association)
version 1.0. The IrDA 1.0 standard that stipulates the infrared encoder sends out a 3/16 of a bit wide HIGHpulse 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 12 below.
The infrared encoder and decoder are enabled by setting MCR register bit-6 to a ‘1’. When the infrared feature
is enabled, the transmit data output, TX, idles at logic zero level. Likewise, the RX input assumes an idle level
of logic zero from a reset and power up, see Figure 12.
Typically, 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. However, this is not true with some
infrared modules on the market which indicate a logic 0 by a light pulse. So the L580 has a provision to invert
the input polarity to accommodate this. In this case, the user can enable MCR bit-2 to invert the IR signal at the
RX pin.

Sleep Mode with Wake-Up Interrupt and Power-Save Feature
The L580 supports low voltage system designs, hence, a sleep mode with wake-up interrupt and Power-Save
feature is included to reduce power consumption when the device is not actively used.
2.18.1
Sleep Mode
All of these conditions must be satisfied for the L580 to enter sleep mode:
■
no interrupts pending (ISR bit-0 = 1)
■
the 16-bit divisor programmed in DLM and DLL registers is a non-zero value
■
sleep mode is enabled (IER bit-4 = 1)
■
modem inputs are not toggling (MSR bits 0-3 = 0)
■
RX input pin is idling at a logic 1
The L580 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 L580 resumes normal operation by any of the following:
■
a receive data start bit transition (logic 1 to 0)
■
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 L580 is awakened by any one of the above conditions, it issues an interrupt as soon as the oscillator
circuit is up and running and the device is ready to transmit/receive. This interrupt has the same encoding (bit0 of ISR register = 1) as "no interrupt pending" and will clear when the ISR register is read. This will show up in
the ISR register only if no other interrupts are enabled. The L580 will return to the sleep mode automatically
after all interrupting conditions have been serviced and cleared. If the L580 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 L580 will stay in the sleep mode of operation until it is disabled by setting IER bit-4
to a logic 0.
2.18.2
Power-Save Feature
If the address lines, data bus lines, IOW#, IOR#, CS# and modem input lines remain steady when the L580 is
in sleep mode, the maximum current will be in the microamp range as specified in the DC Electrical
Characteristics on page 35. If the input lines are floating or are toggling while the L580 is in sleep mode, the
current can be up to 100 times more. If not using the Power-Save feature, an external buffer would be required
to keep the address and data bus lines from toggling or floating to achieve the low current. But if the PowerSave feature is enabled (PwrSave pin connected to VCC), this will eliminate the need for an external buffer by
internally isolating the address, data and control signals (see Figure 1 on page 1) from other bus activities that
could cause wasteful power drain. The L580 enters Power-Save mode when this pin is connected to VCC and
the L580 is in sleep mode (see Sleep Mode section above).
Since Power-Save mode isolates the address, data and control signals, the device will wake-up only by:
■
a receive data start bit transition (logic 1 to 0), or
■
a change of logic state on any of the modem or general purpose serial inputs: CTS#, DSR#, CD# or RI#
The L580 will return to the Power-Save mode automatically after a read to the MSR (to reset the modem
inputs) and all interrupting conditions have been serviced and cleared. The L580 will stay in the Power-Save
mode of operation until it is disabled by setting IER bit-4 to a logic 0 and/or the Power-Save pin is connected to
GND.

Internal Loopback
The L580 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
including automatic hardware and software flow control. Figure 13 shows how the modem port signals are reconfigured. 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 pins 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.

4.0 INTERNAL REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS
4.1
Receive Holding Register (RHR) - Read- Only
See “RECEIVER” on page 12.
4.2
Transmit Holding Register (THR) - Write-Only
See “Transmitter” on page 11.
4.3
Baud Rate Generator Divisors (DLL and DLM) - Read/Write
The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) is a 16-bit counter that generates the data rate for the transmitter. The rate is
programmed through registers DLL and DLM which are only accessible when LCR bit-7 is set to ‘1’. See
“Programmable Baud Rate Generator” on page 9. for more details.
4.4
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).
4.4.1
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.
4.4.2
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 XR16L580 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.

XR16L580
SMALLEST 2.25V TO 5.5V UART WITH 16-BYTE FIFO AND POWERSAVE
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 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.
• 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 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]: 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.
IER[5]: Xoff Interrupt Enable (requires EFR bit-4=1)
• Logic 0 = Disable the software flow control, receive Xoff interrupt. (default)

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.
4.5
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 7, shows the data values (bit 0-5) for the interrupt priority levels and the interrupt sources
associated with each of these interrupt levels.
4.5.1
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.
• 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 enabled by EFR
bit-7.
• RTS# is when its receiver toggles the output pin (from low to high) during auto RTS flow control enabled by EFR
bit-6.
• Wake-up Interrupt is when the device wakes up from sleep mode. See Sleep Mode section for more details.
4.5.2
Interrupt Clearing:
• LSR interrupt is cleared by reading the LSR register (but FIFO error bit does not clear until the character(s) that
generated the interrupt(s) is (are) read from the FIFO).
• RXRDY interrupt is cleared by reading data until FIFO falls below the trigger level.
• RXRDY Time-out interrupt is cleared by reading the RHR register.
• TXRDY interrupt is cleared by reading the ISR register or writing to the THR register.
• MSR interrupt is cleared by reading the MSR register.
• Xoff interrupt is cleared by reading the ISR or when Xon character(s) is received.
• Special character interrupt is cleared by reading the ISR or after the next character is received.
• RTS# and CTS# flow control interrupts are cleared by reading 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) or wake-up interrupt. The wake-up interrupt is issued when the
L580 has been awakened from sleep mode.
ISR[3:1]: Interrupt Status
These bits indicate the source for a pending interrupt at interrupt priority levels (See Interrupt Source Table 7).
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 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# or RTS# 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.
4.6
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.

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 (Legacy)
This bit has no function and should be left at ’0’.
FCR[5:4]: Transmit FIFO Trigger Select
(’00’ = 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 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 8 below shows the selections. EFR bit-4 must
be set to ‘1’ before these bits can be accessed.
FCR[7:6]: Receive FIFO Trigger Select
(’00’ = 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 crosses the trigger level. Table 8 shows the selections.

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 9 for parity selection summary below.
• Logic 0 = No parity.
• Logic 1 = A parity bit is generated during the transmission
while the receiver checks for parity error of the data
character received.
LCR[4]: TX and RX Parity Select
If the parity bit is enabled with LCR bit-3 set to a logic 1, LCR BIT-4 selects the even or odd parity format.
• Logic 0 = ODD Parity is generated by forcing an odd number of logic 1’s in the transmitted character. The receiver
must be programmed to check the same format (default).
• Logic
1 = EVEN Parity is generated by forcing an even number of logic 1’s in the transmitted character. The
receiver must be programmed to check the same format.
LCR[5]: TX and RX Parity Select
If the parity bit is enabled, LCR BIT-5 selects the forced parity format.
• LCR BIT-5 = logic 0, parity is not forced (default).
• LCR BIT-5 = logic 1 and LCR BIT-4 = logic 0, parity bit is forced to a logical 1 for the transmit and receive data.
• LCR BIT-5 = logic 1 and LCR BIT-4 = logic 1, parity bit is forced to a logical 0 for the transmit and receive data.

LCR[6]: Transmit Break Enable
When enabled, the Break control bit causes a break condition to be transmitted (the TX output is forced to a
“space’, logic 0, state). This condition remains, until disabled by setting LCR bit-6 to a logic 0.
• Logic 0 = No TX break condition (default).
• Logic 1 = Forces the transmitter output (TX) to a “space”, logic 0, for alerting the remote receiver of a line break
condition.
LCR[7]: Baud Rate Divisors Enable
Baud rate generator divisor (DLL/DLM) enable.
• Logic 0 = Data registers are selected (default).
• Logic 1 = Divisor latch registers are selected.
4.8
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 and may be used for automatic hardware flow control by enabled by
EFR bit-6. 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]: Invert Infrared RX Data or OP1# (legacy term)
If IrDA mode is enabled by setting MCR[6]=1 and if EFR[4] = 1, this bit acts as ’Invert Infrared RX data’
command. If EFR[4] = 0 or in internal loopback mode, this bit functions like the OP1# in the 16C550.
• Logic 0 = Select RX input as active-low encoded IrDA data (if IrDA Mode is enabled by setting MCR[6] = 1 and
EFR[4] = 1) (default).
• Logic 1 = Select RX input as active-high encoded IrDA data (if MCR[6] = 1 and EFR[4] = 1). In this mode, this bit is
write-only.
In the Internal Loopback Mode, this bit controls the state of the modem input RI# bit in the MSR register as
shown in Figure 13.

MCR[3]: INT Output Enable or OP2# (legacy term)
This bit enables and disables the operation of interrupt output, INT in the Intel mode. It has no function in the
Motorola mode.
• Logic 0 = INT output disabled (three state mode) (default).
• Logic 1 = INT output enabled (active mode).
In the Internal Loopback Mode, this bit functions like the OP2# in the 16C550 and is used to set the state of the
modem input CD# bit in the MSR register.
MCR[4]: Internal Loopback Enable
• Logic 0 = Disable loopback mode (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable local loopback mode, see loopback section and Figure 13.
MCR[5]: Xon-Any Enable
• Logic 0 = Disable Xon-Any function (for 16C550 compatibility, default).
• Logic 1 = Enable Xon-Any function. In this mode, any RX character received will resume transmit operation. The
RX character will be loaded into the RX FIFO, unless the RX character is an Xon or Xoff character and the L580 is
programmed to use the Xon/Xoff flow control.
MCR[6]: Infrared Encoder/Decoder Enable
• Logic 0 = Enable the standard modem receive and transmit input/output interface (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable infrared IrDA receive and transmit inputs/outputs. The TX/RX output/input
are routed to the
infrared encoder/decoder. The data input and output levels conform to the IrDA infrared interface requirement.
While in this mode, the infrared TX output will be a logic 0 during idle data conditions.
MCR[7]: BRG Clock Prescaler Select
• Logic 0 = Divide by one. The input clock from the crystal or external clock is fed directly to the Programmable Baud
Rate Generator without further modification, i.e., divide by one (default).
• Logic 1 = Divide by four. The prescaler divides the input clock from the crystal or external clock by four and feeds it
to the Programmable Baud Rate Generator, hence, data rates get reduced 4 times.
4.9
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 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 Flag
• 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.

XR16L580

áç
REV. 1.2.0
LSR[3]: Receive Data Framing Error Flag
• 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 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).
• 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.
4.10
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

REV. 1.2.0
XR16L580
SMALLEST 2.25V TO 5.5V UART WITH 16-BYTE FIFO AND POWERSAVE
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 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). 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.
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.
4.11
Scratchpad 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.
4.12
Baud Rate Generator Registers (DLL and DLM) - Read/Write
The concatenation of the contents of DLM and DLL gives the 16-bit divisor value which is used to calculate the
baud rate:
• Baud Rate = (Clock Frequency / 16) / Divisor
See MCR bit-7 and the baud rate table also.
4.13
Device Identification Register (DVID) - Read Only
This register contains the device ID (0x01 for XR16L580). Prior to reading this register, DLL and DLM should
be set to 0x00.
4.14
Device Revision Register (DREV) - Read Only
This register contains the device revision information. For example, 0x01 means revision A. Prior to reading
this register, DLL and DLM should be set to 0x00.
4.15
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 10). When the Xon1 and Xon2 and Xoff1 and Xoff2 modes
are selected, the double 8-bit words are concatenated into two sequential characters. Caution: note that
whenever changing the TX or RX flow control bits, always reset all bits back to logic 0 (disable) before
programming a new setting.
EFR[3:0]: Software Flow Control Select
Single character and dual sequential characters software flow control is supported. Combinations of software
flow control can be selected by programming these bits.

TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE SOFTWARE FLOW CONTROL
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 2, 5, 6 and 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 2, 57 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 2,
5-7 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.

SMALLEST 2.25V TO 5.5V UART WITH 16-BYTE FIFO AND POWERSAVE
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 to a logic 1 at one trigger level above the programmed trigger level. RTS# will return to a logic
0 when FIFO data falls below one trigger level below the programmed trigger level. The RTS# output must be
asserted (logic 0) 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
Automatic CTS Flow Control.
• Logic 0 = Automatic CTS flow control is disabled (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable Automatic CTS flow control. Data transmission
stops when CTS# input de-asserts to logic 1.
Data transmission resumes when CTS# returns to a logic 0.

Software Flow Control Registers (XOFF1, XOFF2, XON1, XON2) - Write Only
These registers are used as the programmable software flow control characters xoff1, xoff2, xon1, and xon2.

Test 1A: For 48-TQFP package only: The 16/68# pin has an internal pull-up resistor, so the input leakage
current is -80uA max.
Test 1B: For 48-TQFP package only: The PwrSave pin has an internal pull-down resistor, so the input leakage
current is 80uA max.
Test 2: The following inputs must remain steady at VCC or GND state to minimize sleep current: A0-A2, D0D7, IOR#, IOW# (R/W#), CS# and all modem inputs. Also, RXA and RXB inputs must idle at logic 1 state while
asleep. Floating inputs may result in sleep currents in the mA range. The 48-TQFP package has a higher
current because of the internal pull-up and pull-down resistors on the 16/68# and PwrSave pins respectively.
For Power-Save, the UART internally isolates all of these inputs (except the modem inputs, 16/68# and Reset
pins) therefore eliminating any unnecessary external buffers to keep the inputs steady. See “Power-Save
Feature” on page 18. To achieve minimum power drain, the voltage at any of the inputs of the L580 should NOT
be lower than its VCC supply.
