5.6 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 18 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, RTS# and DTR# pins are held HIGH (idle or de-asserted state), and the CTS#, DSR#
CD# and RI# inputs are ignored.
