* After the trigger level is reached, an xoff character is sent after a short span of time (= time required to send 2 characters);
for example, after 2.083ms has elapsed for 9600 baud and 8-bit word length, no parity and 1 stop bit setting.
2.13 Special Character Detect
A special character detect feature is provided to detect an 8-bit character when bit-5 is set in the Enhanced
Feature Register (EFR). When this character (Xoff2) is detected, it will be placed in the FIFO along with normal
incoming RX data.
The L402 compares each incoming receive character with the programmed Xoff-2 data. If a match exists, the
received data will be transferred to the RX FIFO and ISR bit-4 will be set to indicate detection of special
character. Although the Internal Register Table shows Xon, Xoff Registers with eight bits of character
information, the actual number of bits is dependent on the programmed word length. Line Control Register
(LCR) bits 0-1 define the number of character bits, i.e., either 5 bits, 6 bits, 7 bits, or 8 bits. The word length
selected by LCR bits 0-1 also determines the number of bits that will be used for the special character
comparison. Bit-0 in the Xon, Xoff Registers corresponds with the LSB bit for the receive character.
