TIMER [7:0] (default 0x00): Reserved.
TIMERMSB [7:0] and TIMERLSB [7:0]
TIMERMSB and TIMERLSB form a 16-bit value. The
least-significant bit of the timer is being bit [0] of the
Each bit selects 8X or 16X sampling rate for that
UART channel, bit-0 is channel 0. Logic 0 (default)
selects normal 16X sampling with logic one selects
8X sampling rate. Transmit and receive data rates will
double by selecting 8X.
The 8-bit Reset register [RESET] provides the soft-
ware with the ability to reset the UART(s) when there
is a need. Each bit is self-resetting after it is written a

up and reset.

sets UART channel 0 with bit-7=1 resets channel 7.
The 8-bit Sleep register enables each UART sepa-
rately to enter Sleep mode. Sleep mode reduces
power consumption when the system needs to put
the UART(s) to idle. The UART enters sleep mode
when there is no interrupt pending. When all 8 UARTs
are put to sleep, the on-chip oscillator shuts off to fur-
ther conserve power. In this case, the octal UART is
awaken by any of the UART channel on from a re-
ceive data byte or a change on the serial port. The
UART is ready after 32 crystal clocks to ensure full
functionality. Also, a special interrupt is generated
with an indication of no pending interrupt. Logic 0 (de-
fault) and logic 1 disable and enable sleep mode re-
spectively.
There are 2 internal registers that provide device
identification and revision, DVID and DREV registers.
The 8-bit content in the DVID register provides device
