LSR[5]: Transmit Holding Register Empty Flag
This bit is the Transmit Holding Register Empty indi-
cator. This bit indicates that the transmitter is ready to
accept a new character for transmission. In addition,
this bit causes the UART to issue an interrupt to the
host when the THR interrupt enable is set. The THR
bit is set to a logic 1 when the last data byte is trans-
ferred from the transmit holding register to the trans-
mit shift register. The bit is reset to logic 0 concurrent-
ly with the data loading to the transmit holding regis-
ter by the host. In the FIFO mode this bit is set when
the transmit FIFO is empty; it is cleared when at least
1 byte is written to the transmit FIFO.
LSR[6]: Transmit Shift Register Empty Flag
This bit is the Transmit Shift Register Empty indicator.
This bit is set to a logic 1 whenever the transmitter

pens when additional data arrives while the FIFO is
full. In this case the previous data in the receive
shift register is overwritten. Note that under this
condition the data byte in the receive shift register
is not transferred into the FIFO, therefore the data
in the FIFO is not corrupted by the error.

FIFO mode, only one break character is loaded into
the FIFO. The break indication remains until the RX
input returns to the idle condition, “mark” or logic 1.
