5V PCI BUS DUAL UART
IER[0]: RHR Interrupt Enable
The receive data ready interrupt will be issued when RHR has a data character in the non-FIFO mode or when
the receive FIFO has reached the programmed trigger level in the FIFO mode. A receive data timeout interrupt
will be issued in the FIFO mode when the receive FIFO has not reached the programmed trigger level and the
RX input has been idle for 4 character + 12 bit times.
• Logic 0 = Disable the receive data ready interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the receiver data ready interrupt.
IER[1]: THR Interrupt Enable
When Auto RS485 mode operation is disabled (FCTR bit-5 = 0), this interrupt is associated with bit-5 in the
LSR register. An interrupt is issued whenever the THR becomes empty or when data in the FIFO falls below
the programmed trigger level. When Auto RS485 mode operation is enabled (FCTR bit-5 = 1), this interrupt is
associated with bit-6 in the LSR register. An interrupt is issued whenever the TX FIFO and the TSR becomes
empty.
• Logic 0 = Disable Transmit Holding Register empty interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable Transmit Holding Register empty interrupt.
IER[2]: Receive Line Status Interrupt Enable
Any of LSR register bits 1, 2, 3 or 4 will generate an LSR interrupt immediately when a character received by
the RX FIFO has an error.
• Logic 0 = Disable the receiver line status interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the receiver line status interrupt.
IER[3]: Modem Status Interrupt Enable
• Logic 0 = Disable the modem status register interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the modem status register interrupt.
IER[4]: Reserved
IER[5]: Xoff Interrupt Enable (requires EFR bit-4=1)
• Logic 0 = Disable the software flow control, receive Xoff interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the software flow control, receive Xoff interrupt. See Software Flow Control section for
details.
IER[6]: RTS#/DTR# Output Interrupt Enable (requires EFR bit-4=1)
The RTS# or DTR# output is selected via MCR bit-2. See Table 10 or MCR[2] for complete details.
• Logic 0 = Disable the RTS#/DTR# interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the RTS#/DTR# interrupt. The UART issues an interrupt when the RTS#/DTR# pin makes
a transition.
IER[7]: CTS# Input Interrupt Enable (requires EFR bit-4=1)
The CTS# or DSR# input is selected via MCR bit-2. See Table 10 or MCR[2] for complete details.
• Logic 0 = Disable the CTS#/DSR# interrupt (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the CTS#/DSR# interrupt. The UART issues an interrupt when CTS# pin makes a transi-
tion.
4.8.5 Interrupt Status Register (ISR) - Read-Only
The UART provides multiple levels of prioritized interrupts to minimize external software interaction. The Inter-
rupt Status Register (ISR) provides the user with six interrupt status bits. Performing a read cycle on the ISR
will give the user the current highest pending interrupt level to be serviced with others queued up for next ser-
vice. No other interrupts are acknowledged until the pending interrupt is serviced. The Interrupt Source Table,
Table 13, shows the data values (bit 0-5) for the six prioritized interrupt levels and the interrupt sources associ-
ated with each of these interrupt levels.
