GENERAL DESCRIPTION
APPLICATIONS
The XR19L220 (L220) is a highly integrated device that
combines a full-featured single channel Universal
Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) and an
RS-232 transceiver. The L220 is designed to operate with a
single 3.3V or 5V power supply. The L220 is fully compliant
with EIA/TIA-232-F Standards from a +3.0V to +5.5V power
supply. The device operates at 250 Kbps data rate with
worst case 3K ohms load. Both RS-232 driver outputs and
receiver inputs can operate in harsh electrical environments
of +/-15V without damage and can survive multiple +/-15kV
ESD on the RS-232 lines, while maintaining RS-232 output
levels.
The L220 operates in four different modes: Active, Partial
Sleep, Full Sleep and Power-Save. Each mode can be
invoked via hardware or software. In the Active mode, all
functions are active. In the Partial Sleep mode, the internal
crystal oscillator of the UART or charge pump of the RS232 transceiver is turned off. In Full Sleep mode, the
internal crystal oscillator and the charge pump is turned off.
In the Power-Save mode, the core logic is isolated from the
control signals (chip select, read/write strobes, address and
data bus lines) to further reduce the power consumption. All
the RS-232 receivers remain active in any of these four
modes.

XR19L220
REV. 1.0.1
SINGLE CHANNEL INTEGRATED UART AND RS-232 TRANSCEIVER
1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The XR19L220 interface converter consists of a full-functional UART with 16 bytes of transmit and receive
FIFO, a charge pump, three RS-232 drivers, five RS-232 receivers, and a sleep/Power-Save mode circuitry. It
operates from a single +3V to 5.5V supply at 250Kbps data rate, while meeting all EIA RS-232F specifications.
Its feature set is fully compatible to the XR16L580 device. Unlike the XR16L580, the modem signals are not
CMOS/TTL level, but conform to EIA/TIA 232 or RS-232 voltage levels. The configuration registers set is
16550 UART compatible for control, status and data transfer. Also, the L220 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, and a programmable baud rate generator with a
prescaler of divide by 1 or 4. Additionally, the L220 includes the ACP pin which the user can shut down the
charge pump for the RS-232 drivers when the L220 is already in sleep mode. The Power-Save feature further
isolates the databus interface to further reduce power consumption in the sleep mode. The L220 is fabricated
using an advanced CMOS process.
Enhanced Features
The L220 UART provides a solution that supports 16 bytes of transmit and receive FIFO memory. The L220 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 L220 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 L220 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. Finally, since the L220 includes an RS-232 transceiver and a full-modem
interface, it can be connected to an RS-232 serial cable directly.
Intel or Motorola Data Bus Interface
The L220 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, I/M#.
Data Rate
The L220 is capable of operation up to 250Kbps data rate using the 16X internal sampling clock rate. The
UART section can operate at much higher speeds, but the speed of the RS-232 transceiver is limited to
250Kbps beyond which the L220 cannot comply with the EIA/TIA-232 electrical characteristics. The device can
operate either with a crystal on pins XTAL1 and XTAL2, or external clock source on XTAL1 pin.
Internal Enhanced Register Sets
The L220 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, modem interface controls and status, sleep
mode and 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 is compatible with the XR16L580.
RS-232 Interface
The L220 includes RS-232 drivers/receivers for the entire modem interface. This feature eliminates the need
for an external RS-232 transceiver. The charge pump provides output voltages of +5V and -5V for its drivers
over the 3.0V to 5.5V VCC supply voltage. The serial outputs TX, RTS and DTR swing between -5V (inactive)
and 5V (active) RS-232 voltage levels. The serial inputs RX, CTS, DSR, CD and RI are RS-232 receivers and
can take any voltage swing from -15V to +15V. The receivers are always active, even in Full Sleep and PowerSave modes. The RS-232 drivers guarantee a data rate of 250Kbps even when fully loaded with 3Kohm in
parallel with 1000pF load. Also, the slew rate of the driver output is internally limited to a maximum of 30V/us in
order to meet the EIA-232F standard.

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 L220 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.

5-Volt Tolerant Inputs
The CMOS/TTL level inputs of the L220 can accept up to 5V inputs when operating at 3.3V. Note that the
XTAL1 pin is not 5V tolerant when an 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 XR19L220 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 functional compatibility with 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 L220 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 L220 offers enhanced feature registers just like the
XR16L580, namely, 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 18.
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
XR19L220. 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 18 through 21.

Crystal or External Clock Input
The L220 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. When VCC = 5V, the on-chip oscillator
can operate with a crystal whose frequency is not greater than 24 MHz. On the other hand, the L220 can
accept an external clock of up to 50MHz at XTAL1 pin also. Although the L220 can accept an exteran clock of
up to 50MHz, the maximum data rate supported by the RS-232 drivers is 250Kbps. For further reading on the
oscillator circuit please see the Application Note DAN108 on the EXAR web site at http://www.exar.com.
2.9
Programmable Baud Rate Generator
The L220 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.

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.

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 rising edge of RXD
(or falling edge of RX) 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 LOW 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
10

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 10):
• Enable auto RTS flow control using EFR bit-6.
• The auto RTS function must be started by asserting RTS output pin (MCR bit-1 to logic 1 after it is enabled).
If using the Auto RTS interrupt:
• Enable RTS interrupt through IER bit-6 (after setting EFR bit-4). The UART issues an interrupt when the RTS
pin makes a transition from low to high: ISR bit-5 will be set to logic 1.
2.13
Auto RTS Hysteresis
The L220 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 de-asserted until the receive FIFO reaches
one trigger level above the programmed trigger level in the trigger table (Table 8). The RTS pin will be reasserted after the RX FIFO is unloaded to one trigger level lower than the programmed trigger level. This is
described in Figure 10. Under the above described conditions, the L220 will continue to accept data until the
receive FIFO gets full. The Auto RTS function is initiated when the RTS output pin is asserted.
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 10):
• Enable auto CTS flow control using EFR bit-7.
If using the Auto CTS interrupt:
• Enable CTS interrupt through IER bit-7 (after setting EFR bit-4). The UART issues an interrupt when the CTS
pin is de-asserted: 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 re-asserted, 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.
2.15
Auto Xon/Xoff (Software) Flow Control
When software flow control is enabled (See Table 10), the L220 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 L220 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 L220 will monitor the
receive data stream for a match to the Xon-1,2 character. If a match is found, the L220 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 L220 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
13
XR19L220
SINGLE CHANNEL INTEGRATED UART AND RS-232 TRANSCEIVER
REV. 1.0.1
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 L220 automatically
sends an Xoff message (when enabled) via the serial TX output to the remote modem. The L220 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 L220 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 L220 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.
2.17
Sleep Modes and Power-Save Feature with Wake-Up Interrupt
There are three levels of power management integrated in the L220. The device is low power with low
operational and standby supply currents. In the Partial Sleep mode, the internal oscillator of the UART or
charge pump of the RS-232 transceiver is turned off to reduce the power consumption. In the Full Sleep mode,
both the oscillator and the charge pump are turned off. The Power-save mode provides additional power
saving by isolating the UART address, data and control signals during Sleep mode to minimize the power
consumption.
2.17.1
Partial Sleep Mode
There are two different partial sleep modes. In the first mode, the UART is in sleep mode and the charge pump
is active. In the other mode, the UART is still active but the charge pump is turned off.
2.17.1.1
UART in sleep mode, RS-232 transceiver active
If the ACP pin is LOW, then the charge pump for the RS-232 transceiver will always be active. But the UART
portion in the L220 can still enter sleep mode if all of these conditions are satisfied:
■
■
■
■
■
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)
RXD input pin is idling LOW
14
XR19L220
SINGLE CHANNEL INTEGRATED UART AND RS-232 TRANSCEIVER
REV. 1.0.1
The L220 stops its crystal oscillator to conserve power in this mode. The user can check the XTAL2 pin for no
clock output as an indication that the device has entered the partial sleep mode.
The UART portion in the L220 resumes normal operation or active mode by any of the following:
■
■
■
a receive data start bit transition on the RXD input (LOW to HIGH)
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: i.e., any of the MSR bits 03 shows a ’1’
The UART portion in the L220 will return to the sleep mode automatically after all interrupting conditions have
been serviced and cleared. If the UART portion of the L220 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 UART portion of the L220 will stay in the sleep mode of operation until it is disabled by setting
IER bit-4 to a logic 0.
2.17.1.2
UART active, charge pump of RS-232 transceiver shut down
If the ACP pin is HIGH and the UART portion of the L220 is not in sleep mode, then the charge pump will
automatically shut down to conserve power if the following conditions are true:
■
■
■
no activity on the TXD output signal
modem input signals (RX, CTS, DSR, CD, RI) are LOW
modem inputs have been idle for approximately 30 seconds
When these conditions are satisfied, the L220 shuts down the charge pump and tri-states the RS-232 drivers
to conserve power. In this mode, the RS-232 receivers are fully active and the internal registers of the L220
can be accessed. The time for the charge pump to resume normal operation after exiting the sleep mode is
typically 45µs. It will wake up by any of the following:
■
■
■
a receive data start bit transition on the RXD input (LOW to HIGH)
a data byte is loaded to the transmitter, THR or FIFO
a LOW to HIGH transition on any of the modem or general purpose serial inputs
Because the receivers are fully active when the charge pump is turned off, any data received will be transferred
to/from the UART without any issues.
2.17.2
Full Sleep Mode
In full sleep mode, the L220 shuts down the charge pump and the internal oscillator. The L220 enters the full
sleep mode if the following conditions are satisfied:
■
■
the UART portion of the L220 is already in sleep mode (no output on XTAL2)
the ACP (Autosleep for Charge Pump) pin is HIGH
When these conditions are satisfied, both the UART and the charge pump will be in the sleep mode. In this
mode, the RS-232 receivers are fully active and the internal registers of the L220 can be accessed. The L220
exits the full sleep mode if either the ACP pin becomes LOW or the internal oscillator starts up. The time for the
charge pump to resume normal operation after exiting the full sleep mode is typically 45µs.

2.17.3
REV. 1.0.1
Power-Save Feature
This mode is in addition to the sleep mode and in this mode, the core logic of the L220 is isolated from the CPU
interface. If the address lines, data bus lines, IOW#, IOR# and CS# remain steady when the L220 is in full
sleep mode, the maximum current will be in the microamp range as specified in the DC Electrical
Characteristics on page 32. However, if the input lines are floating or are toggling while the L220 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 Power-Save 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 from other bus activities that could
cause wasteful power drain (see Figure 1). The L220 enters Power-Save mode when this pin is connected to
VCC, and the UART portion of the L220 is already in sleep mode.
Since Power-Save mode isolates the address, data and control signals, the device will wake-up only by:
■
■
a receive data start bit transition, or
a change of logic state on any of the modem or general purpose serial inputs: i.e., any of the MSR bits 03 shows a ’1’
The L220 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 L220 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.
If the L220 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.

Internal Loopback
The L220 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 11 below shows how the internal UART signals
are re-configured. Transmit data from the transmit shift register output is internally routed to the receive shift
register input allowing the system to receive the same data that it was sending. The TX, RTS# and DTR# pins
are held HIGH while CTS#, DSR#, CD# and RI# inputs are ignored. Caution: the RX input pin must be held at
inactive during loopback test else upon exiting the loopback test the UART may detect and report a false
“break” signal.

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 8. 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 XR19L220 in the FIFO
polled mode of operation. Since the receiver and transmitter have separate bits in the LSR either or both can
be used in the polled mode by selecting respective transmit or receive control bit(s).
A. LSR BIT-0 indicates there is data in RHR or RX FIFO.
B. LSR BIT-1 indicates an overrun error has occurred and that data in the FIFO may not be valid.
C. LSR BIT 2-4 provides the type of receive data errors encountered for the data byte in RHR, if any.
D. LSR BIT-5 indicates THR is empty.
E. LSR BIT-6 indicates when both the transmit FIFO and TSR are empty.
F. LSR BIT-7 indicates a data error in at least one character in the RX FIFO.
IER[0]: RHR Interrupt Enable
The receive data ready interrupt will be issued when RHR has a data character in the non-FIFO mode or when
the receive FIFO has reached the programmed trigger level in the FIFO mode.
• Logic 0 = Disable the receive data ready interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the receiver data ready interrupt.
IER[1]: THR Interrupt Enable
This bit enables the Transmit Ready interrupt which is issued whenever the THR becomes empty in the nonFIFO mode or when 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 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 the CTS pin is de-asserted during auto CTS flow control enabled by EFR bit-7.
• RTS is when the RTS pin is de-asserted 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.
• Wake-up interrupt is cleared by reading the ISR register.

FIFO Control Register (FCR) - Write-Only
This register is used to enable the FIFOs, clear the FIFOs, set the transmit/receive FIFO trigger levels, and
select the DMA mode. The DMA, and FIFO modes are defined as follows:
FCR[0]: TX and RX FIFO Enable
• Logic 0 = Disable the transmit and receive FIFO (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the transmit and receive FIFOs. This bit must be set to logic 1 when other FCR bits are
written or they will not be programmed.
FCR[1]: RX FIFO Reset
This bit is only active when FCR bit-0 is a ‘1’.
• Logic 0 = No receive FIFO reset (default)
• Logic 1 = Reset the receive FIFO pointers and FIFO level counter logic (the receive shift register is not

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

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

LCR[6]: Transmit Break Enable
When enabled, the Break control bit causes a break condition to be transmitted (the TX output is forced LOW).
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) LOW 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 HIGH (default).
• Logic 1 = Force DTR output LOW.
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 HIGH (default).
• Logic 1 = Force RTS output LOW.
MCR[2]: OP1# (legacy term)
The OP1# output does not come out on the XR19L220, however, it is available in internal loopback. In the
Internal Loopback Mode, this bit controls the state of the modem input RI bit in the MSR register as shown in
Figure 11.
• Logic 0 = OP1# is HIGH (default).
• Logic 1 = OP1# is LOW.
In the Internal Loopback Mode, this bit controls the state of the modem input RI bit in the MSR register as
shown in Figure 11.
MCR[3]: INT Output Enable or OP2# (legacy term)
This bit enables and disables the operation of interrupt output, INT in the Intel mode. If INT output is not used,
OP2# can be used as a general purpose output in the Intel mode. In the Motorola mode, this bit must be set to
logic 0.
• Logic 0 = INT output disabled (three state mode) in Intel mode (default).
• Logic 1 = INT output enabled (active mode) in Intel 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 11.

XR19L220
REV. 1.0.1
SINGLE CHANNEL INTEGRATED UART AND RS-232 TRANSCEIVER
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 L220 is programmed to use the Xon/Xoff flow control.
MCR[6]: Reserved
For proper functionality, this bit should be set to a logic 0.
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.
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 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.
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.

XR19L220
SINGLE CHANNEL INTEGRATED UART AND RS-232 TRANSCEIVER
REV. 1.0.1
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 LOW to HIGH, ending of the ringing signal. A modem status
interrupt will be generated if MSR interrupt is enabled (IER bit-3).
MSR[3]: Delta CD Input Flag
• Logic 0 = No change on CD input (default).
• Logic 1 = Indicates that the CD input has changed state since the last time it was monitored. A modem status
interrupt will be generated if MSR interrupt is enabled (IER bit-3).
MSR[4]: CTS Input Status
CTS pin may function as automatic hardware flow control signal input if it is enabled and selected by Auto CTS
(EFR bit-7). Auto CTS flow control allows starting and stopping of local data transmissions based on the
modem CTS signal. A HIGH on the CTS pin will stop UART transmitter as soon as the current character has
finished transmission, and a LOW will resume data transmission. Normally MSR bit-4 bit is the complement of
the CTS input. However in the loopback mode, this bit is equivalent to the RTS bit in the MCR register. The
CTS input may be used as a general purpose input when the modem interface is not used.
MSR[5]: DSR Input Status
Normally this bit is the complement of the DSR input. In the loopback mode, this bit is equivalent to the DTR bit
in the MCR register. The DSR input may be used as a general purpose input when the modem interface is not
used.
MSR[6]: RI Input Status
Normally this bit is the complement of the RI input. In the loopback mode this bit is equivalent to bit-2 in the
MCR register. The RI input may be used as a general purpose input when the modem interface is not used.
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.

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.

bits 2, 5-7 are saved to retain the user settings. After a reset, the IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 4-5, and
MCR bits 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.
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 deasserts (HIGH) at one trigger level above the programmed trigger level. RTS will be re-asserted LOW 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 HIGH.
Data transmission resumes when CTS is asserted LOW.
4.16
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.
For more details, refer to “Section 2.15, Auto Xon/Xoff (Software) Flow Control” on page 13.
