LCR[5]: TX and RX Parity Select
If the parity bit is enabled, LCR BIT-5 selects the forced parity format.
• LCR BIT-5 = logic 0, parity is not forced (default).
• LCR BIT-5 = logic 1 and LCR BIT-4 = logic 0, parity bit is forced to a logical 1 for the transmit and receive
data.
• LCR BIT-5 = logic 1 and LCR BIT-4 = logic 1, parity bit is forced to a logical 0 for the transmit and receive
data.

Force parity to mark, “1”
Forced parity to space, “0”
LCR[6]: Transmit Break Enable
When enabled, the Break control bit causes a break condition to be transmitted (the TX output is forced to a
“space’, LOW, state). This condition remains, until disabled by setting LCR bit-6 to a logic 0.
• Logic 0 = No TX break condition (default).
• Logic 1 = Forces the transmitter output (TX) to a “space”, LOW, for alerting the remote receiver of a line
break condition.
LCR[7]: Baud Rate Divisors Enable
Baud rate generator divisor (DLL/DLM) enable.
• Logic 0 = Data registers are selected (default).
• Logic 1 = Divisor latch registers are selected.
4.7 Alternate Function Register (AFR) - Read/Write
This register is used to select specific modes of MF# operation and to allow both UART register sets to be
written concurrently.
AFR[0]: Concurrent Write Mode
When this bit is set, the CPU can write concurrently to the same register in both UARTs. This function is
intended to reduce the dual UART initialization time. It can be used by the CPU when both channels are
initialized to the same state. The external CPU can set or clear this bit by accessing either register set. When
this bit is set, the channel select pin still selects the channel to be accessed during read operations. The user
should ensure that LCR Bit-7 of both channels are in the same state before executing a concurrent write to the
registers at address 0, 1, or 2.
• Logic 0 = No concurrent write (default).
• Logic 1 = Register set A and B are written concurrently with a single external CPU I/O write operation.
