LOW VOLTAGE DUART WITH 16-BYTE FIFO
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.
2.12.1 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.

Example
:
- RX FIFO trigger level selected at 8 bytes
Data falls to 4 ^{RTS# re-asserts when data falls below the flow}
control trigger level to restart remote transmitter.
Enable by EFR bit-6=1, MCR bit-2.
FIFO Trigger=8
RHR Interrupt (ISR bit-2) programmed for
desired FIFO trigger level.
FIFO is Enabled by FCR bit-0=1
Data fills to 14 ^{RTS# de-asserts when data fills above the flow}
control trigger level to suspend remote transmitter.
Enable by EFR bit-6=1, MCR bit-2.
