XON_CHAR (0x007) - Read/Write
The XON_CHAR stores the 5 through 8 bit XON character that is used for Automatic Software Flow control. In 9 bit mode,
only bits 7 through 0 are used, i.e. bit 8 is always a ’0.’ Alternately, this register holds the unicast address for multi-drop appli-
cations with address matching mode.

Default
Description
0
0x11
Reserved
These bits are reserved and should be written as ‘0’.
XON Character
In Automatic Software Flow control mode, the UART will suspend data transmission when the XON character has been
received. For behavior in the address match mode, see “Multidrop mode with address matching” on page 18.
XOFF_CHAR (0x008) - Read/Write
The XOFF_CHAR stores the 5 through 8 bit XOFF character that is used for Automatic Software Flow control. In 9 bit mode,
only bits 7 through 0 are used, i.e. bit 8 is always a ’0.’ Alternately, this register holds the multicast address for multi-drop
applications with address matching mode.

Description
0
0x13
Reserved
These bits are reserved and should be written as ‘0’.
XOFF Character
In Automatic Software Flow control mode, the UART will suspend data transmission when the XOFF character has been
received. For behavior in the address match mode, see “Multidrop mode with address matching” on page 18.
ERROR_STATUS (0x009) - Read-Clear
This register reports any historical break status, or framing, parity and overrun errors since the last time this register was
read. As such, it does not indicate which character(s) the error(s) were associated with. For diagnostic purposes, WIDE_-
MODE may be enabled such that errors are directly associated with the current byte.

Default
Description
0
Reserved
These bits are reserved and should be written as ‘0’.
0
Break Status (Read-Only)
0: Break condition is not present.
1: Break condition is currently being detected.
0
Overrun Error
0: No overrun error.
1: An overrun error has been detected (clears after read). An overrun error occurs when the RX FIFO is full and another byte
of data is received.
0
Parity Error
0: No parity error.
1: A parity error has been detected (clears after read).
