The RESET input resets the internal registers and the serial interface outputs to their default state (see

the device. Following a power-on reset or an external reset, the M670 is software compatible with previous
generation of UARTs, XR16L570 and ST16C550.
The M670 has a set of 16550 compatible registers for controlling, monitoring and data loading and unloading.
These registers function as data holding registers (THR/RHR), interrupt status and control registers (ISR/IER),
a FIFO control register (FCR), receive line status and control registers (LSR/LCR), modem status and control
registers (MSR/MCR), programmable data rate (clock) divisor registers (DLL/DLM/DLD), and a user accessible
scratchpad register (SPR).
Beyond the general 16C550 features and capabilities, the M670 offers enhanced feature registers (EFR, Xon1/
Xoff 1, Xon2/Xoff 2, DLD, FCTR, EMSR and FC) that provide automatic RTS and CTS hardware flow control,
automatic Xon/Xoff software flow control, 9-bit (Multidrop) mode, auto RS-485 half duplex control, different
baud rate for TX and RX and fractional baud rate generator. All the register functions are discussed in full
detail later in
The interrupt outputs change according to the operating mode and enhanced features setup.
