XR16V794
HIGH PERFORMANCE 2.25V TO 3.6V QUAD UART WITH FRACTIONAL BAUD RATE
The UART provides multiple levels of prioritized interrupts to minimize external software interaction. The
Interrupt Status Register (ISR) provides the user with six interrupt status bits. Performing a read cycle on the
ISR will give the user the current highest pending interrupt level to be serviced, others queue up for next
service. No other interrupts are acknowledged until the pending interrupt is serviced. The Interrupt Source

associated with each of these interrupt levels.

P
LSR is by any of the LSR bits 1, 2, 3 and 4. See IER bit-2 description above.
RXRDY is by RX trigger level.
RXRDY Time-out is by a 4-char plus 12 bits delay timer.
TXRDY is by TX trigger level or TX FIFO empty (or transmitter empty in auto RS-485 control).
MSR is by any of the MSR bits 0, 1, 2 and 3.
Receive Xoff/Special character is by detection of a Xoff or Special character.
CTS#/DSR# is when its transmitter toggles the input pin (from LOW to HIGH) during auto CTS/DSR flow
control enabled by EFR bit-7 and selection on MCR bit-2.
RTS#/DTR# is when its receiver toggles the output pin (from LOW to HIGH) during auto RTS/DTR flow
control enabled by EFR bit-6 and selection on MCR bit-2.
Wake-up Indicator is when the UART wakes up from the sleep mode.
LSR interrupt is cleared by a read to the LSR register.
RXRDY interrupt is cleared by reading data until FIFO falls below the trigger level.
RXRDY Time-out interrupt is cleared by reading RHR.
TXRDY interrupt is cleared by a read to the ISR register or writing to THR.
MSR interrupt is cleared by a read to the MSR register.
Xoff interrupt is cleared by a read to ISR or when Xon character(s) is received.
Special character interrupt is cleared by a read to ISR or after the next character is received.
RTS#/DTR# and CTS#/DSR# status change interrupts are cleared by a read to the MSR register.
Wake-up Indicator is cleared by a read to the INT0 register.
