1.62V TO 3.63V HIGH PERFORMANCE UART WITH 64-BYTE FIFO
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.
4.16 Feature Control Register (FCTR) - Read/Write
FCTR[1:0]: RTS Hysteresis
User selectable RTS# hysteresis levels for hardware flow control application. After reset, these bits are set to
“0” to select the next trigger level for hardware flow control. See Table 13 for more details.
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]: Transmit/Receive Trigger Table Select

FCTR[6]: Scratchpad Swap
• Logic 0 = Scratch Pad register is selected as general read and write register. ST16C550 compatible mode.
• Logic 1 = FIFO Count register (Read-Only), Enhanced Mode Select Register (Write-Only). Number of
characters in transmit or receive FIFO can be read via scratch pad register when this bit is set. Enhanced
Mode Select Register is selected when it is written into.
FCTR[7]: Programmable Trigger Register Select
• Logic 0 = Registers TRG and FC selected for RX.
• Logic 1 = Registers TRG and FC selected for TX.
4.17 Enhanced Feature Register (EFR) - Read/Write
Enhanced features are enabled or disabled using this register. Bit 0-3 provide single or dual consecutive
character software flow control selection (see Table 17). When the Xon1 and Xon2 and Xoff1 and Xoff2 modes
are selected, the double 8-bit words are concatenated into two sequential characters. Caution: note that
whenever changing the TX or RX flow control bits, always reset all bits back to logic 0 (disable) before
programming a new setting.
