SEE”RECEIVER” ON PAGE 11.
SEE”TRANSMITTER” ON PAGE 10.
The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) is a 16-bit counter that generates the data rate for the transmitter. The rate is
programmed through registers DLL and DLM which are only accessible when LCR bit-7 is set to ‘1’.
SEE”PROGRAMMABLE BAUD RATE GENERATOR” ON PAGE 9.
The Interrupt Enable Register (IER) masks the interrupts from receive data ready, transmit empty, line status
and modem status registers. These interrupts are reported in the Interrupt Status Register (ISR).
When the receive FIFO (FCR BIT-0 = 1) and receive interrupts (IER BIT-0 = 1) are enabled, the RHR interrupts
(see ISR bits 2 and 3) status will reflect the following:
A. The receive data available interrupts are issued to the host when the FIFO has reached the programmed
B. FIFO level will be reflected in the ISR register when the FIFO trigger level is reached. Both the ISR register
C. The receive data ready bit (LSR BIT-0) is set as soon as a character is transferred from the shift register to
