4.4 Internal Loopback
Each UART channel provides an internal loopback capability for system diagnostic. The internal loopback
mode is enabled by setting MCR register bit-4 to logic 1. All regular UART functions operate normally.
Figure 11 shows how the modem port signals are re-configured. Transmit data from the transmit shift register
output is internally routed to the receive shift register input allowing the system to receive the same data that it
was sending. The TX pin is held at logic 1 or mark condition while RTS# and DTR# are de-asserted, and
CTS#, DSR# CD# and RI# inputs are ignored.
