FIFO is Enabled by FCR bit-0=1
RTS# de-asserts when data fills to the Halt Level
to suspend remote transmitter.
Enable by EFR bit-6=1, MCR bit-1.
RTS# re-asserts when data falls to the Resume
Level to restart remote transmitter.
Enable by EFR bit-6=1, MCR bit-1.

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 17):
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.
2.10
Auto RTS Halt and Resume
The RTS# pin will not be forced HIGH (RTS off) until the receive FIFO reaches the Halt Level (TCR[3:0]). The
RTS# pin will return LOW after the RX FIFO is unloaded to the Resume Level (TCR[7:4]). Under these
conditions, the M1170 will continue to accept data if the remote UART continues to transmit data. It is the
responsibility of the user to ensure that the Halt Level is greater than the Resume Level. If interrupts are used,
it is recommended that Halt Level > RX Trigger Level > Resume Level. The Auto RTS function is initiated
when the RTS# output pin is asserted LOW (RTS On).
2.11
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
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 (HIGH): ISR bit-5 will be set to 1, and UART will suspend transmission as soon as
