Table 5. Software Flow Control Registers
EFR BIT-4:
Enhanced function control bit. The content of the IER
bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 4-5, and MCR bits 5-7
can be modified and latched. After modifying any bits
in the enhanced registers, EFR bit-4 can be set to a
logic 0 to latch the new values. This feature prevents
existing software from altering or overwriting the UART
enhanced functions.
Logic 0 = disable/latch enhanced features. IER bits 4-
7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 4-5, and MCR bits 5-7 are
saved to retain the user settings, then IER bits 4-7, ISR
bits 4-5, FCR bits 4-5, and MCR bits 5-7 are initialized
to the default values shown in the Internal Resister
Table. After a reset, the IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR
bits 4-5, and MCR bits 5-7 are set to a logic 0 to be
compatible with ST16C550 mode. (normal default con-
dition).
Logic 1 = Enables the enhanced functions. When this
bit is set to a logic 1 all enhanced features of the UART
are enabled and user settings stored during a reset will
be restored.
EFR BIT-5:
Logic 0 = Special Character Detect Disabled (normal
default condition)
Logic 1 = Special Character Detect Enabled. The
UART compares each incoming receive character with
Xoff-2 data. If a match exists, the received data will be
transferred to FIFO and ISR bit-4 will be set to indicate
detection of special character. Bit-0 in the X-registers
corresponds with the LSB bit for the receive character.
When this feature is enabled, the normal software flow
control must be disabled (EFR bits 0-3 must be set to
a logic 0).
EFR BIT-6:
Automatic RTS is used for hardware flow control by
enabling EFR bit-6. The user must assert RTS# to
initiate this function. When AUTO RTS is selected, an
interrupt will be generated when the receive FIFO is
filled to the programmed RX trigger level and RTS# will
go to a logic 1 when it reaches the upper limit of the
hysteresis level. RTS# will return to a logic 0 when data
