Modem Mode
The USART features modem mode, which enables control of the signals: DTR (Data Terminal
Ready), DSR (Data Set Ready), RTS (Request to Send), CTS (Clear to Send), DCD (Data Car-
rier Detect) and RI (Ring Indicator). While operating in modem mode, the USART behaves as a
DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) as it drives DTR and RTS and can detect level change on DSR,
DCD, CTS and RI.
Setting the USART in modem mode is performed by writing the USART_MODE field in the Mode
Register (US_MR) to the value 0x3. While operating in modem mode the USART behaves as
though in asynchronous mode and all the parameter configurations are available.
Table 30-11 gives the correspondence of the USART signals with modem connection standards.

The control of the RTS and DTR output pins is performed by witting the Control Register
(US_CR) with the RTSDIS, RTSEN, DTRDIS and DTREN bits respectively at 1. The disable
command forces the corresponding pin to its inactive level, i.e. high. The enable commands
force the corresponding pin to its active level, i.e. low.
