5.8.14 Enhanced Feature Register (EFR) - Read/Write
Enhanced features are enabled or disabled using this register. Bits 0-3 provide single or dual consecutive
character software flow control selection (see Table 19). 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.
EFR[3:0]: Software Flow Control Select
Combinations of software flow control can be selected by programming these bits. See Table 19 for complete
selections. The XOFF1/XOFF2 characters are transmitted approximately 2 character times after the RX FIFO
level has reached the RX trigger level, irrespective of which trigger table is used (Trigger Tables A-D). The
XON1/XON2 characters are transmitted when the RX FIFO level falls below the next lower trigger level for
Trigger Tables A-C and they are transmitted when the RX FIFO level falls below the (RX trigger level -
hysteresis level) for Trigger Table D. For example, if Trigger Table D is used with an RX trigger level of 56 and
a hysteresis level of 16, the XON1/XON2 characters are sent when the RX FIFO level count falls below 40.
