REV. 1.0.0
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
When FCR BIT-0 equals a logic 1 for FIFO enable; resetting IER bits 0-3 enables the FIFO polled mode of
operation. Since the receiver and transmitter have separate bits in the LSR either or both can be used in the
polled mode by selecting respective transmit or receive control bit(s).
A. LSR BIT-0 indicates there is data in RHR or RX FIFO.
B. LSR BIT-1 indicates an overrun error has occurred and that data in the FIFO may not be valid.
C. LSR BIT 2-4 provides the type of receive data errors encountered for the data byte in RHR, if any.
D. LSR BIT-5 indicates THR is empty.
E. LSR BIT-6 indicates when both the transmit FIFO and TSR are empty.
F. LSR BIT-7 indicates a data error in at least one character in the RX FIFO.
IER[0]: RHR Interrupt Enable
The receive data ready interrupt will be issued when RHR has a data character in the non-FIFO mode or when
the receive FIFO has reached the programmed trigger level in the FIFO mode.
•
•
IER[1]: THR Interrupt Enable
This bit enables the Transmit Ready interrupt which is issued whenever the THR becomes empty in the non-
FIFO mode or when data in the FIFO falls below the programmed trigger level in the FIFO mode. If the THR is
empty when this bit is enabled, an interrupt will be generated.
•
•
IER[2]: Receive Line Status Interrupt Enable
If any of the LSR register bits 1, 2, 3 or 4 is a logic 1, it will generate an interrupt to inform the host controller
about the error status of the current data byte in FIFO. LSR bit-1 generates an interrupt immediately when the
character has been received. LSR bits 2-4 generate an interrupt when the character with errors is read out of
the FIFO (default). Instead, LSR bits 2-4 can be programmed to generate an interrupt immediately, by setting
EMSR bit-6 to a logic 1.

IER[3]: Modem Status Interrupt Enable

•
IER[4]: Reserved
This bit is reserved and should remain at a logic 0.
