5V PCI BUS DUAL UART

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 enable Xon, resume data
transmission.
MCR[6]: Infrared Encoder/Decoder Enable
The state of this bit depends on the sampled logic level of pin ENIR during power up, following a hardware
reset or a soft-reset. Afterward user can override this bit for desired operation.
Logic 0 = Disable the infrared mode, operates in the normal serial character mode.
Logic 1 = Enable infrared IrDA receive and transmit inputs/outputs. While in this mode, the TX/RX output/
input are routed to the infrared encoder/decoder. The data input and output levels will conform to the IrDA
infrared interface requirement. As such, while in this mode the infrared TX output will be a logic 0 during idle
data conditions. FCTR bit-4 may be selected to invert the RX input signal level going to the decoder for
infrared modules that provide rather an inverted output.
MCR[7]: 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 become one-fourth.
4.8.9
Line Status Register (LSR) - Read/Only
This register provides the status of data transfers between the UART and the host. If IER bit-2 is set to a logic
1, an LSR interrupt will be generated immediately when any character in the RX FIFO has an error (parity,
framing, overrun, break). Reading LSR will clear LSR bits 4-1.
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. This bit is cleared after LSR is read.
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. This bit is cleared after LSR is read.
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. This bit is cleared after LSR is read.
LSR[4]: Receive Break Tag
Logic 0 = No break condition (default).
Logic 1 = The receiver received a break signal (RX was a logic 0 for one character frame time). In the FIFO
mode, only one break character is loaded into the FIFO. This bit is cleared after LSR is read.
