SC16IS741A
Single UART with I
2
C-bus/SPI interface, 64-byte FIFOs, IrDA SIR
8.10 Enhanced Features Register (EFR)
This 8-bit register enables or disables the enhanced features of the UART. Table 23
shows the enhanced feature register bit settings.
8.11 Division registers (DLL, DLH)
These are two 8-bit registers which store the 16-bit divisor for generation of the baud clock
in the baud rate generator. DLH stores the most significant part of the divisor. DLL stores
the least significant part of the divisor.
Remark: DLL and DLH can only be written to before Sleep mode is enabled, that is,
before IER[4] is set.
Table 23. Enhanced Features Register bits description
Bit Symbol Description
7EFR[7]CTS
flow control enable
logic 0 = CTS
flow control is disabled (normal default condition)
logic 1 = CTS
flow control is enabled. Transmission will stop when a HIGH
signal is detected on the CTS
pin.
6EFR[6]RTS
flow control enable.
logic 0 = RTS
flow control is disabled (normal default condition)
logic 1 = RTS
flow control is enabled. The RTS pin goes HIGH when the
receiver FIFO halt trigger level TCR[3:0] is reached, and goes LOW when the
receiver FIFO resume transmission trigger level TCR[7:4] is reached.
5 EFR[5] Special character detect
logic 0 = Special character detect disabled (normal default condition)
logic 1 = Special character detect enabled. Received data is compared with
Xoff2 data. If a match occurs, the received data is transferred to FIFO and
IIR[4] is set to a logical 1 to indicate a special character has been detected.
4 EFR[4] Enhanced functions enable bit
logic 0 = disables enhanced functions and writing to IER[7:4], FCR[5:4],
MCR[7:5].
logic 1 = enables the enhanced function IER[7:4], FCR[5:4], and MCR[7:5] so
that they can be modified.
3:0 EFR[3:0] Combinations of software flow control can be selected by programming these
bits. See Table 4 “
Software flow control options (EFR[3:0])”.
