ISR[4]: Xoff/Xon or Special Character Interrupt Status
This bit is enabled when EFR bit-4 is set to a logic 1. ISR bit-4 indicates that the receiver detected a data
match of the Xoff character(s). If this is an Xoff/Xon interrupt, it can be cleared by a read to the ISR. Reading
the XCHAR register will indicate which character (Xoff or Xon) was received last. If it is a special character
interrupt, it can be cleared by reading ISR or it will automatically clear after the next character is received.
ISR[5]: RTS#/CTS# Interrupt Status
This bit is enabled when EFR bit-4 is set to a logic 1. ISR bit-5 indicates that the CTS# or RTS# has changed
state from LOW to HIGH.
ISR[7:6]: FIFO Enable Status
These bits are set to a logic 0 when the FIFOs are disabled. They are set to a logic 1 when the FIFOs are
enabled.
4.8.6 FIFO Control Register (FCR) - Write-Only
This register is used to enable the FIFOs, clear the FIFOs, set the transmit/receive FIFO trigger levels, and
select the DMA mode (legacy term that refers to "block transfer mode"). The DMA and FIFO modes are
defined as follows:
FCR[0]: TX and RX FIFO Enable
• Logic 0 = Disable the transmit and receive FIFO (default).
• Logic 1 = Enable the transmit and receive FIFOs. This bit must be set to logic 1 when other FCR bits are
written or they will not be programmed.
FCR[1]: RX FIFO Reset
This bit is only active when FCR bit-0 is active.
• Logic 0 = No receive FIFO reset (default).
• Logic 1 = Reset the receive FIFO pointers and FIFO level counter logic (the receive shift register is not
cleared or altered). This bit will return to a logic 0 after resetting the FIFO.
FCR[2]: TX FIFO Reset
This bit is only active when FCR bit-0 is active.
• Logic 0 = No transmit FIFO reset (default).
• Logic 1 = Reset the transmit FIFO pointers and FIFO level counter logic (the transmit shift register is not
cleared or altered). This bit will return to a logic 0 after resetting the FIFO.
FCR[3]: DMA Mode Select
This bit has no effect since TXRDY and RXRDY pins are not available in this device. It is provided for legacy
software. DMA is a legacy term used for block transfer mode. DMA does not stand for "Direct Memory Ac-
cess."
• Logic 0 = Set DMA to mode 0 (default).
• Logic 1 = Set DMA to mode 1.
FCR[5:4]: Transmit FIFO Trigger Select
(logic 0 = default, TX trigger level = 1)
The FCTR bits 6-7 are associated with these 2 bits by selecting one of the four tables. The 4 user selectable
trigger levels in 4 tables are supported for compatibility reasons. These 2 bits set the trigger level for the
transmit FIFO interrupt. The UART will issue a transmit interrupt when the number of characters in the FIFO
falls below the selected trigger level, or when it gets empty in case that the FIFO did not get filled over the
trigger level on last re-load. Table 14 below shows the selections. EFR bit-4 must be set to ‘1’ before these
bits can be accessed. Note that the receiver and the transmitter cannot use different trigger tables. Whichever
selection is made last applies to both the RX and TX side.
