XR16V554/554D
2.25V TO 3.6V QUAD UART WITH 16-BYTE FIFO
SEPTEMBER 2007
REV. 1.0.2
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
• Pin-to-pin compatible with ST16C454, ST16C554,
The XR16V554 (V554) is a quad Universal
Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) with
16 bytes of transmit and receive FIFOs, selectable
receive FIFO trigger levels and data rates of up to 4
Mbps at 3.3 V. Each UART has a set of registers that
provide the user with operating status and control,
receiver error indications, and modem serial interface
controls. An internal loopback capability allows
onboard diagnostics. The V554 is available in a 48pin QFN, 64-pin LQFP, 68-pin PLCC and 80-pin
LQFP packages. The 64-pin and 80-pin packages
only offer the 16 mode interface, but the 48- and 68pin packages offer an additional 68 mode interface
which allows easy integration with Motorola
processors. The XR16V554IV (64-pin) offers three
state interrupt output while the XR16V554DIV
provides continuous interrupt output. The XR16V554
is compatible with the industry standard ST16C554.

When 16/68# pin is HIGH, the Intel bus interface is
selected and this input becomes read strobe (active
low). The falling edge instigates an internal read cycle
and retrieves the data byte from an internal register
pointed by the address lines [A2:A0], puts the data byte
on the data bus to allow the host processor to read it on
the rising edge.
When 16/68# pin is LOW, the Motorola bus interface is
selected and this input is not used and should be connected to VCC.

When 16/68# pin is HIGH for Intel bus interface, these
ouputs become the interrupt outputs for channels B, C,
and D. The output state is defined by the user through
the software setting of MCR[3]. The interrupt outputs
are set to the active mode when MCR[3] is set to a logic
1 and are set to the three state mode when MCR[3] is
set to a logic 0 (default). See MCR[3].
When 16/68# pin is LOW for Motorola bus interface,
these outputs are unused and will stay at logic zero
level. Leave these outputs unconnected.

When 16/68# pin is HIGH for Intel bus interface, this
(OD) ouput becomes channel A interrupt output. The output
state is defined by the user and through the software
setting of MCR[3]. INTA is set to the active mode when
MCR[3] is set to a logic 1. INTA is set to the three state
mode when MCR[3] is set to a logic 0 (default). See
MCR[3].
When 16/68# pin is LOW for Motorola bus interface,
this output becomes device interrupt output (active low,
open drain). An external pull-up resistor is required for
proper operation.

DESCRIPTION

I
Interrupt Select (active high, input with internal pulldown).
When 16/68# pin is HIGH for Intel bus interface, this pin
can be used in conjunction with MCR bit-3 to enable or
disable the INT A-D pins or override MCR bit-3 and
enable the interrupt outputs. Interrupt outputs are
enabled continuously when this pin is HIGH. MCR bit-3
enables and disables the interrupt output pins. In this
mode, MCR bit-3 is set to a logic 1 to enable the continuous output. See MCR bit-3 description for full detail.
This pin must be LOW in the Motorola bus interface
mode. For the 64 pin packages, this pin is bonded to
VCC internally in the XR16V554D so the INT outputs
operate in the continuous interrupt mode. This pin is
bonded to GND internally in the XR16V554 and therefore requires setting MCR bit-3 for enabling the interrupt output pins.

2.25V TO 3.6V QUAD UART WITH 16-BYTE FIFO
REV. 1.0.2
1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The XR16V554 (V554) integrates the functions of 4 enhanced 16C550 Universal Asynchrounous Receiver and
Transmitter (UART). Each UART is independently controlled and has its own set of device configuration
registers. The configuration registers set is 16550 UART compatible for control, status and data transfer.
Additionally, each UART channel has 16 bytes of transmit and receive FIFOs, programmable baud rate
generator and data rate up to 4 Mbps at 3.3 V. The XR16V554 can operate from 2.25 to 3.6 volts. The V554 is
fabricated with an advanced CMOS process.
Enhanced FIFO
The V554 QUART provides a solution that supports 16 bytes of transmit and receive FIFO memory, instead of
one byte in the ST16C454. The V554 is designed to work with high performance data communication systems,
that require fast data processing time. Increased performance is realized in the V554 by the larger transmit and
receive FIFOs and Receiver FIFO trigger level control. 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.
Data Bus Interface, Intel or Motorola Type
The V554 provides a single host interface for the 4 UARTs and 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 CSA#, CSB#, CSC# or CSD# inputs for data bus operation. The Motorola bus
compatible interface instead uses the R/W#, CS#, A3 and A4 signals for data bus transactions. Few data bus
interface signals change their functions depending on user’s selection, see pin description for details. The Intel
and Motorola bus interface selection is made through the pin 16/68#.
Data Rate
The V554 is capable of operation up to 4 Mbps at 3.3V. The device can operate at 3.3V with a crystal oscillator
of up to 24 MHz crystal on pins XTAL1 and XTAL2, or external clock source of 64 MHz on XTAL1 pin. With a
typical crystal of 14.7456 MHz and through a software option, the user can set the sampling rate for data rates
of up to 921.6 Kbps.
Enhanced Features
The rich feature set of the V554 is available through the internal registers. Selectable receive FIFO trigger
levels, programmable baud rates, infrared encoder/decoder interface and modem interface controls are all
standard features. In the 16 mode INTSEL and MCR bit-3 can be configured to provide a software controlled or
continuous interrupt capability. For backward compatibility to the ST16C554, the 64-pin LQFP does not have
the INTSEL pin. Instead, two different LQFP packages are offered. The XR16V554DIV operates in the
continuous interrupt enable mode by internally bonding INTSEL to VCC. The XR16V554IV operates in
conjunction with MCR bit-3 by internally bonding INTSEL to GND.

2.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS
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 V554 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 for a data bus
transaction. Each bus cycle is asynchronous using CS# A-D, IOR# and IOW# or CS#, R/W#, A4 and A3 inputs.
All four UART channels share the same data bus for host operations. A typical data bus interconnection for
Intel and Motorola mode is shown in Figure 4.

2.2
Device Reset
The RESET input resets the internal registers and the serial interface outputs in all channels to their default
state (see Table 13). An active high pulse of longer than 40 ns duration will be required to activate the reset
function in the device. Following a power-on reset or an external reset, the V554 is software compatible with
previous generation of UARTs, 16C454 and 16C554.
2.3
Channel Selection
The UART provides the user with the capability to bi-directionally transfer information between an external
CPU and an external serial communication device. During Intel Bus Mode (16/68# pin is connected to VCC), a
logic 0 on chip select pins, CSA#, CSB#, CSC# or CSD# allows the user to select UART channel A, B, C or D
to configure, send transmit data and/or unload receive data to/from the UART. Selecting all four UARTs can be
useful during power up initialization to write to the same internal registers, but do not attempt to read from all
four uarts simultaneously. Individual channel select functions are shown in Table 1.

Channels A-D Internal Registers
Each UART channel in the V554 has a set of enhanced registers for controlling, monitoring and data loading
and unloading. The configuration register set is compatible to those already available in the standard single
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 a user
accessible scratchpad register (SPR). All the register functions are discussed in full detail later in “Section 3.0,
UART INTERNAL REGISTERS” on page 27.

The interrupt outputs change according to the operating mode and enhanced features setup. Table 3 and 4

DMA Mode
The device does not support direct memory access. 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# A-D and TXRDY# A-D output pins. 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 FIFOs are enabled and the
DMA mode is disabled (FCR bit-3 = 0), the V554 is placed in single-character mode for 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. The following
table show their behavior. Also see Figure 18 through 23.

Crystal Oscillator or External Clock Input
The V554 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. Caution: the XTAL1 input is not 5V
tolerant. For programming details, see “Section 2.8, Programmable Baud Rate Generator” on page 21.

XTAL1

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. Typical oscillator connections are shown
in Figure 5. Alternatively, an external clock can be connected to the XTAL1 pin to clock the internal baud rate
generator for standard or custom rates. For further reading on oscillator circuit please see application note
DAN108 on EXAR’s web site.
2.8
Programmable Baud Rate Generator
Each UART has its own Baud Rate Generator (BRG) for the transmitter and receiver. 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 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 and reset. Programming the Baud Rate Generator Registers DLL and DLM
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.

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
sampling clock. A bit time is 16X 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).

2.9.1
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.
2.9.2
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.

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
FIFO becomes empty. 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 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 LOW 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. See Figure 9 and Figure 10
below.
2.10.1
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-bit 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.

Internal Loopback
The V554 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 11 shows how the modem port signals are re-configured. Transmit data from the transmit shift register
output is internally routed to the receive shift register input allowing the system to receive the same data that it
was sending. The TX pin is held HIGH 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 HIGH during loopback test else
upon exiting the loopback test the UART may detect and report a false “break” signal.

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 XR16V554 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. 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 an
overrun occurs. LSR bits 2-4 generate an interrupt when the character in the RHR has 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.

Interrupt Status Register (ISR)
The UART provides multiple levels of prioritized interrupts to minimize external software interaction. The
Interrupt Status Register (ISR) provides the user with six interrupt status bits. Performing a read cycle on the
ISR will give the user the current highest pending interrupt level to be serviced, others 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 0-3) 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 Data Ready is by RX trigger level.
• RXRDY Data Time-out is by a 4-char plus 12 bits delay timer.
• TXRDY is by 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.
• 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.

FIFO Control Register (FCR) - Write-Only
This register is used to enable the FIFOs, clear the FIFOs, set the 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

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.

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 (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.

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.

Line Status Register (LSR) - Read/Write
This register is writeable but it is not recommended. The LSR provides the status of data transfers between the
UART and the host. If IER bit-2 is enabled, LSR bit-1 will generate an interrupt immediately and LSR bits 2-4
will generate an interrupt when a character with an error is in the RHR.
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 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.
26
XR16V554/554D
2.25V TO 3.6V QUAD UART WITH 16-BYTE FIFO
REV. 1.0.2
LSR[4]: Receive Break 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. The break indication remains until the RX
input returns to the idle condition, “mark” or HIGH.
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/Write
This register is writeable but it is not recommended. The MSR 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 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
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 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
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.
MSR[7]: CD Input Status
Normally this bit is the complement 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.
