1.62V TO 3.63V HIGH PERFORMANCE UART WITH 16-BYTE FIFO
DLD[6]: Independent BRG enable
• Logic 0 = The Transmitter and Receiver uses the same Baud Rate Generator. (default).
• Logic 1 = The Transmitter and Receiver uses different Baud Rate Generators. Use DLD[7] for selecting
which baud rate generator to configure.
DLD[7]: BRG select
When DLD[6] = 1, this bit selects whether the values written to DLL, DLM and DLD[5:0] will be for the Transmit
Baud Rate Generator or the Receive Baud Rate Generator. When DLD[6] = 0 (same Baud Rate Generator
used for both TX and RX), this bit must be a logic 0 to properly write to the appropriate DLL, DLM and
DLD[5:0]. .

Transmitter and Receiver uses same BRG.
Writing to DLL, DLM and DLD[5:0] configures the BRG for both the TX and RX.

Transmitter and Receiver uses different BRGs.
Writing to DLL, DLM and DLD[5:0] configures the BRG for TX.

Transmitter and Receiver uses different BRGs.
Writing to DLL, DLM and DLD[5:0] configures the BRG for RX.

Writing to DLL, DLM and DLD[5:0] has no effect on BRG used by the TX and RX.
4.14 RX/TX FIFO Level Count Register (FC) - Read-Only
This register replaces SPR (during a read) and is accessible when FCTR[6] = 1. This register is also
accessible when LCR = 0xBF. It is suggested to read the FIFO Level Count Register at the Scratchpad
Register location when FCTR bit-6 = 1. See Table 12.
FC[7:0]: RX/TX FIFO Level Count
Receive/Transmit FIFO Level Count. Number of characters in Receiver FIFO (FCTR[7] = 0) or Transmitter
FIFO (FCTR[7] = 1) can be read via this register. Reading this register is not recommended when transmitting
or receiving data.
4.15 Feature Control Register (FCTR) - Read/Write
FCTR[1:0]: Reserved
FCTR[2]: IrDa RX Inversion
• Logic 0 = Select RX input as encoded IrDa data (Idle state will be LOW).
• Logic 1 = Select RX input as inverted encoded IrDa data (Idle state will be HIGH).
FCTR[3]: Auto RS-485 Direction Control
• Logic 0 = Standard ST16C550 mode. Transmitter generates an interrupt when transmit holding register
becomes empty and transmit shift register is shifting data out.
• Logic 1 = Enable Auto RS485 Direction Control function. The direction control signal, RTS# pin, changes its
output logic state from LOW to HIGH one bit time after the last stop bit of the last character is shifted out.
Also, the Transmit interrupt generation is delayed until the transmitter shift register becomes empty. The
RTS# output pin will automatically return to a LOW when a data byte is loaded into the TX FIFO. However,
RTS# behavior can be inverted by setting EMSR[3] = 1.
FCTR[5:4]: Reserved
