4.0 INTERNAL REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS
4.1 Receive Holding Register (RHR) - Read- Only
SEE”RECEIVER” ON PAGE 13.
4.2 Transmit Holding Register (THR) - Write-Only
SEE”TRANSMITTER” ON PAGE 12.
4.3 Interrupt Enable Register (IER) - Read/Write
The Interrupt Enable Register (IER) masks the interrupts from receive data ready, transmit empty, line status
and modem status registers. These interrupts are reported in the Interrupt Status Register (ISR).
4.3.1 IER versus Receive FIFO Interrupt Mode Operation
When the receive FIFO (FCR BIT-0 = 1) and receive interrupts (IER BIT-0 = 1) are enabled, the RHR interrupts
(see ISR bits 2 and 3) status will reflect the following:
A. The receive data available interrupts are issued to the host when the FIFO has reached the selected trig-
ger level. It will be cleared when the FIFO drops below the selected trigger level.
B. FIFO level will be reflected in the ISR register when the FIFO trigger level is reached. Both the ISR register
status bit and the interrupt will be cleared when the FIFO drops below the trigger level.
C. The receive data ready bit (LSR BIT-0) is set as soon as a character is transferred from the shift register to
the receive FIFO. It is reset when the FIFO is empty.
