REV. 1.4.1
The L580 UART provides an internal loopback capability for system diagnostic purposes. The internal
loopback mode is enabled by setting MCR register bit-4 to logic 1. All regular UART functions operate normally
including automatic hardware and software flow control.
configured. Transmit data from the transmit shift register output is internally routed to the receive shift register
input allowing the system to receive the same data that it was sending. The TX pin is held at logic 1 or mark
condition while RTS# and DTR# are de-asserted, and CTS#, DSR# CD# and RI# inputs are ignored. Caution:
the RX input pins must be held to a logic 1 during loopback test else upon exiting the loopback test the UART
may detect and report a false “break” signal.
