XR20M1280 REV. 1.0.0 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS 1.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS 1.1 CPU Interface The XR20M1280 can operate with either an I2C-bus interface or an SPI interface. The CPU interface is selected via the I2C/SPI# input pin. 1.1.1 I2C-bus Interface The I2C-bus interface is compliant with the Standard-mode and Fast-mode I2C-bus specifications. The I2C-bus interface consists of two lines: serial data (SDA) and serial clock (SCL). In the Standard-mode, the serial clock and serial data can go up to 100 kbps and in the Fast-mode, the serial clock and serial data can go up to 400 kbps. The first byte sent by an I2C-bus master contains a start bit (SDA transition from HIGH to LOW when SCL is HIGH), 7-bit slave address and whether it is a read or write transaction. The next byte is the sub- address that contains the address of the register to access. The XR20M1280 responds to each write with an acknowledge (SDA driven LOW by XR20M1280 for one clock cycle when SCL is HIGH). If the TX FIFO is full, the XR20M1280 will respond with a negative acknowledge (SDA driven HIGH by XR20M1280 for one clock cycle when SCL is HIGH) when the CPU tries to write to the TX FIFO. The last byte sent by an I2C-bus master contains a stop bit (SDA transition from LOW to HIGH when SCL is HIGH). See Figures 3 - 5 below. For complete details, see the I2C-bus specifications.

XR20M1280 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS REV. 1.0.0 1.1.2 I2C-bus Addressing There could be many devices on the I2C-bus. To distinguish itself from the other devices on the I2C-bus, there are eight possible slave addresses that can be selected for the XR20M1280 using the A1 and A0 address lines. Table 1 below shows the different addresses that can be selected. Note that there are two different ways to select each I2C address. TABLE 1: XR20M1280 I2C ADDRESS MAP A1 A0 I2C ADDRESS VCC VCC 0x60 (0110 000X) VCC GND 0x62 (0110 001X) VCC SCL 0x64 (0110 010X) VCC SDA 0x66 (0110 011X) GND VCC 0x68 (0110 100X) GND GND 0x6A (0110 101X) GND SCL 0x6C (0110 110X) GND SDA 0x6E (0110 111X) SCL VCC 0x60 (0110 000X) SCL GND 0x62 (0110 001X) SCL SCL 0x64 (0110 010X) SCL SDA 0x66 (0110 011X) SDA VCC 0x68 (0110 100X) SDA GND 0x6A (0110 101X) SDA SCL 0x6C (0110 110X) SDA SDA 0x6E (0110 111X) An I2C sub-address is sent by the I2C master following the slave address. The sub-address contains the UART register address being accessed. A read or write transaction is determined by bit-0 of the slave address. If bit-0 is’0’, then it is a write transaction. If bit-0 is ’1’, then it is a read transaction. If bit-0 is a logic 1, then it is a read transaction. Table 2 below lists the functions of the bits in the I2C sub-address. TABLE 2: I2C SUB-ADDRESS (REGISTER ADDRESS) BIT FUNCTION 7:6 Reserved 5:3 UART Internal Register Address A2:A0 2:1 UART Channel Select ’00’ = UART Channel, other values are reserved 0 Reserved After the last read or write transaction, the I2C-bus master will set the SCL signal back to its idle state (HIGH). 8

XR20M1280 REV. 1.0.0 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS 1.1.3 SPI Bus Interface The SPI interface consists of four lines: serial clock (SCL), chip select (CS#), slave output (SO) and slave input (SI). The serial clock, slave output and slave input can be as fast as 26 Mbps. To access the device in the SPI mode, the CS# signal for the XR20M1280 is asserted by the SPI master, then the SPI master starts toggling the SCL signal with the appropriate transaction information. The first bit sent by the SPI master includes whether it is a read or write transaction and the UART register being accessed. See Table 3 below. TABLE 3: SPI FIRST BYTE FORMAT BIT FUNCTION 7 Read/Write# Logic 1 = Read Logic 0 = Write 6 Reserved 5:3 UART Internal Register Address A2:A0 2:1 UART Channel Select ’00’ = UART Channel, other values are reserved 0 Reserved FIGURE 6.

XR20M1280 REV. 1.0.0 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS 1.2 Serial Interface The M1280 is typically used with RS-232, RS-485 and IR transceivers. The following figure shows typical connections from the UART to the different transceivers.

XR20M1280 REV. 1.0.0 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS 1.3 Device Reset The RESET# input resets the internal registers and the serial interface outputs to their default state (see Table 21). An active low pulse of longer than 40 ns duration will be required to activate the reset function in the device. Following a power-on reset or an external reset, the M1280 is software compatible with previous generation of UARTs. 1.4 5-Volt Tolerant Inputs The M1280 can accept and withstand 5V signals on the inputs without any damage. But note that if the supply voltage for the M1280 is at the lower end of the supply voltage range (ie. 1.8V), its V may not be high OH enough to meet the requirements of the V of a CPU or a serial transceiver that is operating at 5V. Caution: IH XTAL1 is not 5 volt tolerant. 1.5 Internal Registers The M1280 has a set of 16550 compatible registers for controlling, monitoring and data loading and unloading. These registers function as data holding registers (THR/RHR), interrupt status and control registers (ISR/IER), a FIFO control register (FCR), receive line status and control registers (LSR/LCR), modem status and control registers (MSR/MCR), programmable data rate (clock) divisor registers (DLL/DLM/DLD), and a user accessible scratchpad register (SPR). Beyond the general 16C550 features and capabilities, the M1280 offers enhanced feature registers (EFR, Xon1/Xoff1, Xon2/Xoff2, DLD, FCTR, EMSR, FC and TRIG, SFR, SHR, GPIOINT, GPIO3T, GPIOINV, GPIOSEL) that provide automatic RTS and CTS hardware flow control, automatic Xon/Xoff software flow control, 9-bit (Multidrop) mode, auto RS-485 half duplex control, different baud rate for TX and RX and fractional baud rate generator. All the register functions are discussed in full detail later in “Section 2.0, UART INTERNAL REGISTERS” on page 27. 1.6 IRQ# Ouput The IRQ# interrupt output changes according to the operating mode and enhanced features setup. Table 4 and 5 summarize the operating behavior for the transmitter and receiver. Also see Figure 33 through 35.

XR20M1280 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS REV. 1.0.0 1.7 Crystal Oscillator or External Clock Input The M1280 includes an on-chip oscillator to produce a clock for the baud rate generators in the device when a crystal is connected between XTAL1 and XTAL2 as shown below. The CPU data bus does not require this clock for bus operation. The crystal oscillator provides a system clock to the Baud Rate Generators (BRGs) in the UART. XTAL1 is the input to the oscillator or external clock buffer input with XTAL2 pin being the output. For programming details, see “Section 1.8, Programmable Baud Rate Generator with Fractional Divisor” on page 15. FIGURE 12. TYPICAL CRYSTAL CONNECTIONS XTAL1 XTAL2 R1 0-120 (Optional) R2 500K - 1M 1.8432 MHz Y1 to 24 MHz C1 C2 22-47pF 22-47pF The on-chip oscillator is designed to use an industry standard microprocessor crystal (parallel resonant, fundamental frequency with 10-22 pF capacitance load, ESR of 20-120 ohms and 100ppm frequency tolerance) connected externally between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins. Typical oscillator connections are shown in Figure 12. Alternatively, an external clock can be connected to the XTAL1 pin to clock the internal baud rate generator for standard or custom rates. For further reading on oscillator circuit, see application note DAN108 on EXAR’s web site. 14

XR20M1280 REV. 1.0.0 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS 1.8 Programmable Baud Rate Generator with Fractional Divisor The M1280 has independent Baud Rate Generators (BRGs) with prescalers for the transmitter and receiver. The prescalers are controlled by a software bit in the MCR register. The MCR register bit-7 sets the prescalers to divide the input crystal or external clock by 1 or 4. The output of the prescaler clocks to the BRG. The BRG further divides this clock by a programmable divisor between 1 and (216 - 0.0625) in increments of 0.0625 (1/ 16) to obtain a 16X or 8X or 4X sampling clock of the serial data rate. The sampling clock is used by the transmitter for data bit shifting and receiver for data sampling. The BRG divisor (DLL, DLM, and DLD registers) defaults to the value of ’1’ (DLL = 0x01, DLM = 0x00 and DLD = 0x00) during power-on reset. The DLL and DLM registers provide the integer part of the divisor and the DLD register provides the fractional part of the divisor. The four lower bits of the DLD are used to select a value from 0 (for setting 0000) to 0.9375 or 15/16 (for setting 1111). The divisor values can be calculated with the following equations: Divisor = (XTAL1 clock frequency / prescaler) / (serial data rate * 16), with 16X mode, DLD[5:4] = ’00’ Divisor = (XTAL1 clock frequency / prescaler / (serial data rate * 8), with 8X mode, DLD[5:4] = ’01’ Divisor = (XTAL1 clock frequency / prescaler / (serial data rate * 4), with 4X mode, DLD[5:4] = ’10’ The BRG divisors can be calculated using the following formulas: Integer Divisor = TRUNC (Divisor) Fractional Divisor = Divisor - Integer Divisor DLM = Integer Divisor / 256 DLL = Integer Divisor & 256 DLD = TRUNC(Fractional Divisor * 16) In the formulas above, please note that TRUNC (N) = Integer Part of N. For example, TRUNC (5.6) = 5. 1.8.1 Fractional BRG Example For example, if the crystal clock is 24MHz, prescaler is 1, and the sampling mode is 16X, the divisor for a baud rate of 38400bps would be: Divisor = (24000000 / 1) / (38400 * 16) = 39.0625 Integer Divisor = TRUNC (39.0625) = 39 Fractional Divisor = 39.0625 - 39 = 0.0625 DLM = 39 / 256 = 0 = 0x00 DLL = 39 & 256 = 39 = 0x27 DLD = 0.0625 * 16 = 1 = 0x1 Table 6 shows the standard data rates available with a 24MHz crystal or external clock at 16X clock rate. If the pre-scaler is used (MCR bit-7 = 1), the output data rate will be 4 times less than that shown in Table 6. At 8X sampling rate, these data rates would double. And at 4X sampling rate, they would quadruple. Also, when using 8X sampling mode, please note that the bit-time will have a jitter (+/- 1/16) whenever the DLD is non-zero and is an odd number. 1.8.2 Independent TX/RX BRG The XR20M1280 has two independent sets of TX and RX baud rate generator. See Figure 13. TX and RX can use different baud rates by setting DLD, DLL and DLM register. For example, TX can transmit data to the remote UART at 9600 bps while RX receives data from remote UART at 921.6 Kbps. For the baud rate setting, See ”Section 3.15, Baud Rate Generator Registers (DLL, DLM and DLD) - Read/Write” on page 44. 15

XR20M1280 REV. 1.0.0 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS 1.9 Transmitter The transmitter section comprises of an 8-bit Transmit Shift Register (TSR) and 128 bytes of FIFO which includes a byte-wide Transmit Holding Register (THR). TSR shifts out every data bit with the 16X/8X/4X internal clock. A bit time is 16/8/4 clock periods. The transmitter sends the start-bit followed by the number of data bits, inserts the proper parity-bit if enabled, and adds the stop-bit(s). The status of the FIFO and TSR are reported in the Line Status Register (LSR bit-5 and bit-6). 1.9.1 Transmit Holding Register (THR) - Write Only The transmit holding register is an 8-bit register providing a data interface to the host processor. The host writes transmit data byte to the THR to be converted into a serial data stream including start-bit, data bits, parity-bit and stop-bit(s). The least-significant-bit (Bit-0) becomes first data bit to go out. The THR is the input register to the transmit FIFO of 128 bytes when FIFO operation is enabled by FCR bit-0. Every time a write operation is made to the THR, the FIFO data pointer is automatically bumped to the next sequential data location. 1.9.2 Transmitter Operation in non-FIFO Mode The host loads transmit data to THR one character at a time. The THR empty flag (LSR bit-5) is set when the data byte is transferred to TSR. THR flag can generate a transmit empty interrupt (ISR bit-1) when it is enabled by IER bit-1. The TSR flag (LSR bit-6) is set when TSR becomes completely empty. FIGURE 14.

XR20M1280 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS REV. 1.0.0 1.9.3 Transmitter Operation in FIFO Mode The host may fill the transmit FIFO with up to 128 bytes of transmit data. The THR empty flag (LSR bit-5) is set whenever the FIFO is empty. The THR empty flag can generate a transmit empty interrupt (ISR bit-1) when the FIFO becomes empty. The transmit empty interrupt is enabled by IER bit-1. The TSR flag (LSR bit-6) is set when TSR/FIFO becomes empty. FIGURE 15.

Auto Software Flow Control 16X or 8X or 4X Clock (DLD[5:4]) Transmit Data Shift Register (TSR) TXFIFO1 1.10 Receiver The receiver section contains an 8-bit Receive Shift Register (RSR) and 128 bytes of FIFO which includes a byte-wide Receive Holding Register (RHR). The RSR uses the 16X/8X/4X clock (DLD[5:4]) for timing. It verifies and validates every bit on the incoming character in the middle of each data bit. On the falling edge of a start or false start bit, an internal receiver counter starts counting at the 16X/8X/4X clock rate. After 8 clocks (or 4 if 8X or 2 if 4X) the start bit period should be at the center of the start bit. At this time the start bit is sampled and if it is still a logic 0 it is validated. Evaluating the start bit in this manner prevents the receiver from assembling a false character. The rest of the data bits and stop bits are sampled and validated in this same manner to prevent false framing. If there were any error(s), they are reported in the LSR register bits 2-4. Upon unloading the receive data byte from RHR, the receive FIFO pointer is bumped and the error tags are immediately updated to reflect the status of the data byte in RHR register. RHR can generate a receive data ready interrupt upon receiving a character or delay until it reaches the FIFO trigger level. Furthermore, data delivery to the host is guaranteed by a receive data ready time-out interrupt when data is not received for 4 word lengths as defined by LCR[1:0] plus 12 bits time. This is equivalent to 3.7-4.6 character times. The RHR interrupt is enabled by IER bit-0. See Figure 16 and Figure 17 below. 1.10.1 Receive Holding Register (RHR) - Read-Only The Receive Holding Register is an 8-bit register that holds a receive data byte from the Receive Shift Register. It provides the receive data interface to the host processor. The RHR register is part of the receive FIFO of 128 bytes by 11-bits wide, the 3 extra bits are for the 3 error tags to be reported in LSR register. When the FIFO is enabled by FCR bit-0, the RHR contains the first data character received by the FIFO. After the RHR is read, the next character byte is loaded into the RHR and the errors associated with the current data byte are immediately updated in the LSR bits 2-4. 18

XR20M1280 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS REV. 1.0.0 1.11 Auto RTS (Hardware) Flow Control Automatic RTS hardware flow control is used to prevent data overrun to the local receiver FIFO. The RTS# output is used to request remote unit to suspend/resume data transmission. The auto RTS flow control features is enabled to fit specific application requirement (see Figure 18): • Enable auto RTS flow control using EFR bit-6. • The auto RTS function must be started by asserting RTS# output pin (MCR bit-1 to logic 1 after it is enabled). If using the Auto RTS interrupt: • Enable RTS interrupt through IER bit-6 (after setting EFR bit-4). The UART issues an interrupt when the RTS# pin makes a transition from low to high: ISR bit-5 will be set to logic 1. 1.12 Auto RTS Hysteresis With the Auto RTS function enabled, an interrupt is generated when the receive FIFO reaches the selected RX trigger level. The RTS# pin will not be forced HIGH (RTS off) until the receive FIFO reaches one trigger level above the selected trigger level in the trigger table (Table 13). The RTS# pin will return LOW after the RX FIFO is unloaded to one level below the selected trigger level. Under the above described conditions, the M1280 will continue to accept data until the receive FIFO gets full. The Auto RTS function is initiated when the RTS# output pin is asserted LOW (RTS On). Table 7 below explains this when Trigger Table-C (Table 13) is selected.

XR20M1280 REV. 1.0.0 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS 1.13 Auto CTS Flow Control Automatic CTS flow control is used to prevent data overrun to the remote receiver FIFO. The CTS# input is monitored to suspend/restart the local transmitter. The auto CTS flow control feature is selected to fit specific application requirement (see Figure 18): • Enable auto CTS flow control using EFR bit-7. If needed, the CTS interrupt can be enabled through IER bit-7 (after setting EFR bit-4). The UART issues an interrupt when the CTS# pin is de-asserted (HIGH): ISR bit-5 will be set to 1, and UART will suspend transmission as soon as the stop bit of the character in process is shifted out. Transmission is resumed after the CTS# input is re-asserted (LOW), indicating more data may be sent. FIGURE 18.

RTSA# is normally connected to CTSB# (2) of remote UART (UARTB). CTSB# allows its transmitter to send data (3). TXB data arrives and fills UARTA receive FIFO (4). When RXA data fills up to its receive FIFO trigger level, UARTA activates its RXA data ready interrupt (5) and con- tinues to receive and put data into its FIFO. If interrupt service latency is long and data is not being unloaded, UARTA monitors its receive data fill level to match the upper threshold of RTS delay and de-assert RTSA# (6). CTSB# follows (7) and request UARTB transmitter to suspend data transfer. UARTB stops or finishes sending the data bits in its trans- mit shift register (8). When receive FIFO data in UARTA is unloaded to match the lower threshold of RTS delay (9), UARTA re-asserts RTSA# (10), CTSB# recognizes the change (11) and restarts its transmitter and data flow again until next receive FIFO trigger (12). This same event applies to the reverse direction when UARTA sends data to UARTB with RTSB# and CTSA# controlling the data flow. 21

XR20M1280 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS REV. 1.0.0 1.14 Auto Xon/Xoff (Software) Flow Control When software flow control is enabled (See Table 20), the M1280 compares one or two sequential receive data characters with the programmed Xon or Xoff-1,2 character value(s). If receive character(s) (RX) match the programmed values, the M1280 will halt transmission (TX) as soon as the current character has completed transmission. When a match occurs, the Xoff (if enabled via IER bit-5) flag will be set and the interrupt output pin will be activated. Following a suspension due to a match of the Xoff character, the M1280 will monitor the receive data stream for a match to the Xon-1,2 character. If a match is found, the M1280 will resume operation and clear the flags (ISR bit-4). Reset initially sets the contents of the Xon/Xoff 8-bit flow control registers to a logic 0. Following reset the user can write any Xon/Xoff value desired for software flow control. Different conditions can be set to detect Xon/ Xoff characters (See Table 20) and suspend/resume transmissions. When double 8-bit Xon/Xoff characters are selected, the M1280 compares two consecutive receive characters with two software flow control 8-bit values (Xon1, Xon2, Xoff1, Xoff2) and controls TX transmissions accordingly. Under the above described flow control mechanisms, flow control characters are not placed in the RX FIFO. In the event that the receive buffer is overfilling and flow control needs to be executed, the M1280 automatically sends an Xoff message (when enabled) via the serial TX output to the remote modem. The M1280 sends the Xoff-1,2 characters two-character-times (= time taken to send two characters at the programmed baud rate) after the receive FIFO crosses the programmed trigger level. To clear this condition, the M1280 will transmit the programmed Xon-1,2 characters as soon as receive FIFO is less than one trigger level below the programmed trigger level. Table 8 below explains this when Trigger Table-C is selected. TABLE 8: AUTO XON/XOFF (SOFTWARE) FLOW CONTROL XOFF CHARACTER(S) SENT XON CHARACTER(S) SENT RX TRIGGER LEVEL IRQ# PIN ACTIVATION (CHARACTERS IN RX FIFO) (CHARACTERS IN RX FIFO) 8 8 8* 0 16 16 16* 8 56 56 56* 16 60 60 60* 56 * After the trigger level is reached, an xoff character is sent after a short span of time (= time required to send 2 characters); for example, after 2.083ms has elapsed for 9600 baud and 10-bit word length setting. 1.15 Special Character Detect A special character detect feature is provided to detect an 8-bit character when bit-5 is set in the Enhanced Feature Register (EFR). When this character (Xoff2) is detected, it will be placed in the FIFO along with normal incoming RX data. The M1280 compares each incoming receive character with Xoff-2 data. If a match exists, the received data will be transferred to the RX FIFO and ISR bit-4 will be set to indicate detection of special character. Although the Internal Register Table shows Xon, Xoff Registers with eight bits of character information, the actual number of bits is dependent on the programmed word length. Line Control Register (LCR) bits 0-1 defines the number of character bits, i.e., either 5 bits, 6 bits, 7 bits, or 8 bits. The word length selected by LCR bits 0-1 also determines the number of bits that will be used for the special character comparison. Bit-0 in the Xon, Xoff Registers corresponds with the LSB bit for the receive character. 1.16 Auto RS485 Half-Duplex Control Operation The auto RS485 half-duplex direction control feature can be enabled by FCTR bit [3]. The RTS# pin becomes the half-duplex control output when this feature has been enabled. The RTS# pin is typically connected to both the Driver Enable (DE) and Receiver Enable (RE) of an RS-485 transceiver. When the Transmitter is idle, the RTS# pin is de-asserted so that the RS-485 driver is disabled and the RS-485 receiver is enabled. When data is loaded into the TX FIFO, the RTS# pin is asserted to enable the RS-485 driver and disable the RS-485 receiver. This changes the transmitter empty interrupt to TSR empty instead of THR empty. 22

XR20M1280 REV. 1.0.0 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS 1.16.1 RS-485 Setup Time By default, the RTS# pin is asserted immediately before there is data on the TX output pin. For faster baud rates, it may be possible that data is lost due to a long start-up time for an RS-485 transceiver. The M1280 can delay the data from 0-15 bit times to allow the RS-485 transceiver to start up (See ”Section , SHR[7:4]: RS- 485 Setup Delay” on page 40.). 1.16.2 RS-485 Turn-Around Delay At the end of sending data, the RTS# pin is de-asserted immediately after the TX pin goes idle. The RTS# pin can be programmed to delay the RTS# from being asserted from 0-15 bit times (See ”Section , SHR[3:0]: RS- 485 Turn-Around Delay / Auto RTS Hysteresis” on page 40.). The delay optimizes the time needed for the last transmission to reach the farthest station on a long cable network before switching off the line driver. 1.17 Normal Multidrop (9-bit) Mode - Receiver Normal multidrop mode is enabled when SFR[6] = 1 (requires EFR[4] = 1) and EFR[5] = 0 (Special Character Detect disabled). The receiver is set to Force Parity 0 (LCR[5:3] = ’111’) in order to detect address bytes. With the receiver initially disabled, it ignores all the data bytes (parity bit = 0) until an address byte is received (parity bit = 1). This address byte will cause the UART to set the parity error. The UART will generate an LSR interrupt and place the address byte in the RX FIFO. The software then examines the byte and enables the receiver if the address matches its slave address, otherwise, it does not enable the receiver. If the receiver has been enabled, the receiver will receive the subsequent data. If an address byte is received, it will generate an LSR interrupt. The software again examines the byte and if the address matches its slave address, it does not have to do anything. If the address does not match its slave address, then the receiver should be disabled. 1.17.1 Auto Address Detection - Receiver Auto address detection mode is enabled when SFR[6] = 1 (requires EFR[4] = 1) and EFR bit-5 = 1. The desired slave address will need to be written into the XOFF2 register. The receiver will try to detect an address byte that matches the porgrammed character in the XOFF2 register. If the received byte is a data byte or an address byte that does not match the programmed character in the XOFF2 register, the receiver will discard these data. Upon receiving an address byte that matches the XOFF2 character, the receiver will be automatically enabled if not already enabled, and the address character is pushed into the RX FIFO along with the parity bit (in place of the parity error bit). The receiver also generates an LSR interrupt. The receiver will then receive the subsequent data. If another address byte is received and this address does not match the programmed XOFF2 character, then the receiver will automatically be disabled and the address byte is ignored. If the address byte matches XOFF2, the receiver will put this byte in the RX FIFO along with the parity bit in the parity error bit. 1.18 Multidrop (9-bit) Mode - Transmitter This feature simplifies sending an address byte (9th bit = 1) and improves the efficiency of the transmit data routine for transmitting 9-bit data. In previous generation UARTs, the only way to send an address byte is by changing the parity to Forced 1 parity, load the address byte in the THR, wait for the byte to be transmitted, change the parity back to Forced 0 parity, then load data into the TX FIFO. In the XR20M1280, there’s no waiting required and no changing parity. The transmit routine can set SFR[7]=1, then write the address byte into the TX FIFO followed immediately by the data bytes. SFR[7] is self-clearing, therefore, if multiple address bytes need to be transmitted, then SFR[7] will need to be set prior to each address byte written into the TX FIFO. During initialization, the parity must be set to Force Parity 0 (LCR[5:3] = ’111’). 23

XR20M1280 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS REV. 1.0.0 1.19 Infrared Mode The M1280 UART includes the infrared encoder and decoder compatible to the IrDA (Infrared Data Association) version 1.0 and 1.1. The IrDA 1.0 standard that stipulates the infrared encoder sends out a 3/16 of a bit wide HIGH-pulse for each “0” bit in the transmit data stream with a data rate up to 115.2 Kbps. For the IrDA 1.1 standard, the infrared encoder sends out a 1/4 of a bit time wide HIGH-pulse for each "0" bit in the transmit data stream with a data rate up to 1.152 Mbps. This signal encoding reduces the on-time of the infrared LED, hence reduces the power consumption. See Figure 19 below. The infrared encoder and decoder are enabled by setting MCR register bit-6 to a ‘1’. With this bit enabled, the infrared encoder and decoder is compatible to the IrDA 1.0 standard. For the infrared encoder and decoder to be compatible to the IrDA 1.1 standard, SFR bit-3 will also need to be set to a ’1’ when EFR bit-4 is set to ’1’. Likewise, the RX input assumes an idle level of logic zero from a reset and power up, see Figure 19. Typically, the wireless infrared decoder receives the input pulse from the infrared sensing diode on the RX pin. Each time it senses a light pulse, it returns a logic 1 to the data bit stream.

XR20M1280 REV. 1.0.0 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS 1.20 Sleep Mode with Auto Wake-Up The M1280 supports low voltage system designs, hence, a sleep mode with auto wake-up feature is included to reduce its power consumption when the chip is not actively used. 1.20.1 Sleep mode - IER bit-4 All of these conditions must be satisfied for the M1280 to enter sleep mode: ■ no interrupts pending (ISR bit-0 = 1) ■ sleep mode is enabled (IER bit-4 = 1) ■ modem inputs are not toggling (MSR bits 0-3 = 0) ■ RX input pin is idling HIGH in normal mode or LOW in infrared mode ■ divisor is non-zero ■ TX and RX FIFOs are empty The M1280 stops its crystal oscillator to conserve power in the sleep mode. User can check the XTAL2 pin for no clock output as an indication that the device has entered the sleep mode. The M1280 resumes normal operation by any of the following: ■ a receive data start bit transition (HIGH to LOW) ■ a data byte is loaded to the transmitter, THR or FIFO ■ a change of logic state on any of the modem or general purpose serial inputs: CTS#, DSR#, CD#, RI# If the M1280 is awakened by any one of the above conditions, it will return to the sleep mode automatically after all interrupting conditions have been serviced and cleared. If the M1280 is awakened by the modem inputs, a read to the MSR is required to reset the modem inputs. In any case, the sleep mode will not be entered while an interrupt is pending from any channel. The M1280 will stay in the sleep mode of operation until it is disabled by setting IER bit-4 to a logic 0. A word of caution: owing to the starting up delay of the crystal oscillator after waking up from sleep mode, the first few receive characters may be lost. Also, make sure the RX pin is idling HIGH or “marking” condition during sleep mode. This may not occur when the external interface transceivers (RS-232, RS-485 or another type) are also put to sleep mode and cannot maintain the “marking” condition. To avoid this, the system design engineer can use a 47k ohm pull-up resistor on each of the RX input. 1.20.2 Sleep Mode - SLEEP pin The M1280 has a new pin called the SLEEP pin that can be used instead of setting IER bit-4=1. The M1280 will enter the sleep mode when: ■ the current byte in the TSR has completely shifted out ■ the current byte in the RSR has been completely received Under this condition, there could be data in the TX and RX FIFOs. Any data that is the TX and RX FIFOs when the SLEEP pin is asserted will not be affected. The only data that will be lost is any data that is still being received on the RX pin. The M1280 will only wake up after the SLEEP pin has been de-asserted. 1.20.3 Wake-up Interrupt The M1280 has the wake up interrupt. By setting the FCR bit-3, wake up interrupt is enabled or disabled. The default status of wake up interrupt is disabled. Please See ”Section 3.5, FIFO Control Register (FCR) - Write-Only” on page 34. 25

XR20M1280 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS REV. 1.0.0 1.21 Internal Loopback The M1280 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. Figure 20 shows how the modem port signals are re-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.

Caution: the RX input must be held HIGH during loopback test else upon exiting the loopback test the UART may detect and report a false “break” signal. FIGURE 20.

XR20M1280 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS REV. 1.0.0 3.0 INTERNAL REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS 3.1 Receive Holding Register (RHR) - Read- Only SEE”RECEIVER” ON PAGE 18. 3.2 Transmit Holding Register (THR) - Write-Only SEE”TRANSMITTER” ON PAGE 17. 3.3 Interrupt Enable Register (IER) - Read/Write The Interrupt Enable Register (IER) masks the interrupts from receive data ready, transmit empty, line status and modem status registers. These interrupts are reported in the Interrupt Status Register (ISR). 3.3.1 IER versus Receive FIFO Interrupt Mode Operation 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 trigger level. It will be cleared when the FIFO drops below the programmed trigger level. B. FIFO level will be reflected in the ISR register when the FIFO trigger level is reached. Both the ISR register status bit and the interrupt will be cleared when the FIFO drops below the trigger level. C. The receive data ready bit (LSR BIT-0) is set as soon as a character is transferred from the shift register to the receive FIFO. It is reset when the FIFO is empty. 3.3.2 IER versus Receive/Transmit FIFO Polled Mode Operation When FCR BIT-0 equals a logic 1 for FIFO enable; resetting IER bits 0-3 enables the XR20M1280 in 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. • Logic 0 = Disable the receive data ready interrupt (default). • Logic 1 = Enable the receiver data ready interrupt. 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. • Logic 0 = Disable Transmit Ready interrupt (default). • Logic 1 = Enable Transmit Ready interrupt. 30

XR20M1280 REV. 1.0.0 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS 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 an overrun occurs. LSR bits 2-4 generate an interrupt when the character in the RHR has an error. However, when EMSR bit-6 changes to 1 (default is 0), LSR bit 2-4 generate an interrupt when the character is received in the RX FIFO. Please refer to “Section 3.14, Enhanced Mode Select Register (EMSR) - Write-only” on page 43. • Logic 0 = Disable the receiver line status interrupt (default). • Logic 1 = Enable the receiver line status interrupt. IER[3]: Modem Status Interrupt Enable • Logic 0 = Disable the modem status register interrupt (default). • Logic 1 = Enable the modem status register interrupt. IER[4]: Sleep Mode Enable (requires EFR[4] = 1) • Logic 0 = Disable Sleep Mode (default). • Logic 1 = Enable Sleep Mode. See Sleep Mode section for further details. IER[5]: Xoff Interrupt Enable (requires EFR[4]=1) • Logic 0 = Disable the software flow control, receive Xoff interrupt. (default) • Logic 1 = Enable the software flow control, receive Xoff interrupt. See Software Flow Control section for details. IER[6]: RTS# Output Interrupt Enable (requires EFR[4]=1) • Logic 0 = Disable the RTS# interrupt (default). • Logic 1 = Enable the RTS# interrupt. The UART issues an interrupt when the RTS# pin makes a transition from LOW to HIGH (if enabled by EFR bit-6). IER[7]: CTS# Input Interrupt Enable (requires EFR[4]=1) • Logic 0 = Disable the CTS# interrupt (default). • Logic 1 = Enable the CTS# interrupt. The UART issues an interrupt when CTS# pin makes a transition from LOW to HIGH (if enabled by EFR bit-7). 3.4 Interrupt Status Register (ISR) - Read-Only 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 are queued up to be serviced next. No other interrupts are acknowledged until the pending interrupt is serviced. The Interrupt Source Table, Table 11, shows the data values (bit 0-5) for the interrupt priority levels and the interrupt sources associated with each of these interrupt levels. 31

ISR[3:1]: Interrupt Status These bits indicate the source for a pending interrupt at interrupt priority levels (See Table 11). ISR[4]: Interrupt Status (requires EFR bit-4 = 1) This bit is enabled when EFR bit-4 is set to a logic 1. ISR bit-4 indicates that the receiver detected a data match of the Xoff, Xon or special character(s). ISR[5]: Interrupt Status (requires EFR bit-4 = 1) ISR bit-5 indicates that CTS# or RTS# has changed state from LOW to HIGH. ISR[6]: GPIO Interrupt Status This bit reports the GPIO interrupt status. When a GPIO interrupt has been generated, this bit will be the inverse of ISR[7]. When the GPIO interrupt is not enabled, this bit will match ISR[7] for 16550 compatibility (See Table 12). ISR[7]: FIFO Enable Status This bit is set to a logic 0 when the FIFOs are disabled. It is set to a logic 1 when the FIFOs are enabled (See Table 12).

XR20M1280 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS REV. 1.0.0 3.5 FIFO Control Register (FCR) - Write-Only This register is used to enable the FIFOs, clear the FIFOs, set the transmit/receive FIFO trigger levels, and enable the wake up interrupt. They are defined as follows: FCR[0]: TX and RX FIFO Enable • Logic 0 = Disable the transmit and receive FIFO (default). • Logic 1 = Enable the transmit and receive FIFOs. This bit must be set to logic 1 when other FCR bits are written or they will not be programmed. FCR[1]: RX FIFO Reset This bit is only active when FCR bit-0 is a ‘1’. • Logic 0 = No receive FIFO reset (default) • Logic 1 = Reset the receive FIFO pointers and FIFO level counter logic (the receive shift register is not cleared or altered). This bit will return to a logic 0 after resetting the FIFO. FCR[2]: TX FIFO Reset This bit is only active when FCR bit-0 is a ‘1’. • Logic 0 = No transmit FIFO reset (default). • Logic 1 = Reset the transmit FIFO pointers and FIFO level counter logic (the transmit shift register is not cleared or altered). This bit will return to a logic 0 after resetting the FIFO. FCR[3]: Enable wake up interrupt (requires EFR bit-4 = 1) • Logic 0 = Disable the wake up interrupt (default). • Logic 1 = Enable the wake up interrupt. Please refer to “Section 1.20.3, Wake-up Interrupt” on page 25. FCR[5:4]: Transmit FIFO Trigger Select (requires EFR bit-4 = 1) These 2 bits set the trigger level for the transmit FIFO. The UART will issue a transmit interrupt when the number of characters in the FIFO falls below the selected trigger level, or when it gets empty in case that the FIFO did not get filled over the trigger level on last re-load. Table 13 below shows the selections. Note that the receiver and the transmitter cannot use different trigger tables. Whichever selection is made last applies to both the RX and TX side. FCR[7:6]: Receive FIFO Trigger Select These 2 bits are used to set the trigger level for the receive FIFO. The UART will issue a receive interrupt when the number of the characters in the FIFO crosses the trigger level. Table 13 shows the complete selections. Note that the receiver and the transmitter cannot use different trigger tables. Whichever selection is made last applies to both the RX and TX side. 34

The parity bit is a simple way used in communications for data integrity check. See Table 14 for parity selection summary below. • Logic 0 = No parity. • Logic 1 = A parity bit is generated during the transmission while the receiver checks for parity error of the data character received. LCR[4]: TX and RX Parity Select If the parity bit is enabled with LCR bit-3 set to a logic 1, LCR BIT-4 selects the even or odd parity format. • Logic 0 = ODD Parity is generated by forcing an odd number of logic 1’s in the transmitted character. The receiver must be programmed to check the same format (default). • Logic 1 = EVEN Parity is generated by forcing an even number of logic 1’s in the transmitted character. The receiver must be programmed to check the same format. LCR[5]: TX and RX Parity Select If the parity bit is enabled, LCR BIT-5 selects the forced parity format. • LCR BIT-5 = logic 0, parity is not forced (default). • LCR BIT-5 = logic 1 and LCR BIT-4 = logic 0, parity bit is forced to a logical 1 for the transmit and receive data. • LCR BIT-5 = logic 1 and LCR BIT-4 = logic 1, parity bit is forced to a logical 0 for the transmit and receive data.

XR20M1280 REV. 1.0.0 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS LCR[6]: Transmit Break Enable When enabled, the Break control bit causes a break condition to be transmitted (the TX output is forced to a “space’, logic 0, state). This condition remains, until disabled by setting LCR bit-6 to a logic 0. • Logic 0 = No TX break condition. (default) • Logic 1 = Forces the transmitter output (TX) to a “space”, logic 0, for alerting the remote receiver of a line break condition. LCR[7]: Baud Rate Divisors Enable Baud rate generator divisor (DLL/DLM/DLD) enable. • Logic 0 = Data registers are selected. (default) • Logic 1 = Divisor latch registers are selected. 3.7 Modem Control Register (MCR) or General Purpose Outputs Control - Read/Write The MCR register is used for controlling the serial/modem interface signals or general purpose inputs/outputs. MCR[0]: DTR# Output The DTR# pin is a modem control output. If the modem interface is not used, this output may be used as a general purpose output. • Logic 0 = Force DTR# output HIGH (default). • Logic 1 = Force DTR# output LOW. MCR[1]: RTS# Output The RTS# pin is a modem control output and may be used for automatic hardware flow control by enabled by EFR bit-6. If the modem interface is not used, this output may be used as a general purpose output. • Logic 0 = Force RTS# output HIGH (default). • Logic 1 = Force RTS# output LOW. It is required to start Auto RTS Flow Control. MCR[2]: GPIO[3:0] or Modem IO Select This bit controls whether GPIO[3:0] behave as GPIO pins or as modem IO pins (RI#, CD#, DTR#, DSR#) • Logic 0 = GPIO[3:0] behave as GPIO pins • Logic 1 = GPIO[3:0] behave as RI#, CD#, DTR#, DSR# In the Loopback Mode, this bit is used as the OP1# to write the state of the modem RI# interface signal. MCR[3]: OP2# Output OP2# is not available as an output on the M1280 but can be controlled in internal loopback mode. • Logic 0 = OP2# output set HIGH(default). • Logic 1 = OP2# output set LOW. MCR[4]: Internal Loopback Enable • Logic 0 = Disable loopback mode (default). • Logic 1 = Enable local loopback mode, see loopback section and Figure 20. 37

XR20M1280 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS REV. 1.0.0 MCR[5]: Xon-Any Enable (requires EFR bit-4 = 1) • Logic 0 = Disable Xon-Any function (for 16C550 compatibility, default). • Logic 1 = Enable Xon-Any function. In this mode, any RX character received will resume transmit operation. The RX character will be loaded into the RX FIFO , unless the RX character is an Xon or Xoff character and the M1280 is programmed to use the Xon/Xoff flow control. MCR[6]: Infrared Encoder/Decoder Enable (requires EFR bit-4 = 1) • Logic 0 = Enable the standard modem receive and transmit input/output interface. (Default) • Logic 1 = Enable infrared IrDA receive and transmit inputs/outputs. The TX/RX output/input are routed to the infrared encoder/decoder. The data input and output levels conform to the IrDA infrared interface requirement. The RX FIFO may need to be flushed upon enable. While in this mode, the infrared TX output will be LOW during idle data conditions. MCR[7]: Clock Prescaler Select (requires EFR bit-4 = 1) • Logic 0 = Divide by one. The input clock from the crystal or external clock is fed directly to the Programmable Baud Rate Generator without further modification, i.e., divide by one (default). • Logic 1 = Divide by four. The prescaler divides the input clock from the crystal or external clock by four and feeds it to the Programmable Baud Rate Generator, hence, data rates become one forth. 3.8 Line Status Register (LSR) - Read Only This register provides the status of data transfers between the UART and the host. If IER bit-2 is enabled, LSR bit 1 will generate an interrupt immediately and LSR bits 2-4 will generate an interrupt when a character with an error is in the RHR. LSR[0]: Receive Data Ready Indicator • Logic 0 = No data in receive holding register or FIFO (default). • Logic 1 = Data has been received and is saved in the receive holding register or FIFO. LSR[1]: Receiver Overrun Flag • Logic 0 = No overrun error (default). • Logic 1 = Overrun error. A data overrun error condition occurred in the receive shift register. This happens 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. LSR[2]: Receive Data Parity Error Tag • Logic 0 = No parity error (default). • Logic 1 = Parity error. The receive character in RHR does not have correct parity information and is suspect. This error is associated with the character available for reading in RHR. LSR[3]: Receive Data Framing Error Tag • Logic 0 = No framing error (default). • Logic 1 = Framing error. The receive character did not have a valid stop bit(s). This error is associated with the character available for reading in RHR. 38

XR20M1280 REV. 1.0.0 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS LSR[4]: Receive Break Tag • Logic 0 = No break condition (default). • Logic 1 = The receiver received a break signal (RX was LOW for at least one character frame time). In the 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 HIGH. LSR[5]: Transmit Holding Register Empty Flag This bit is the Transmit Holding Register Empty indicator. The THR bit is set to a logic 1 when the last data byte is transferred from the transmit holding register to the transmit shift register. The bit is reset to logic 0 concurrently with the data loading to the transmit holding register by the host. In the FIFO mode this bit is set when the transmit FIFO is empty, it is cleared when the transmit FIFO contains at least 1 byte. LSR[6]: THR and TSR Empty Flag This bit is set to a logic 1 whenever the transmitter goes idle. It is set to logic 0 whenever either the THR or TSR contains a data character. In the FIFO mode this bit is set to a logic 1 whenever the transmit FIFO and transmit shift register are both empty. LSR[7]: Receive FIFO Data Error Flag • Logic 0 = No FIFO error (default). • Logic 1 = A global indicator for the sum of all error bits in the RX FIFO. At least one parity error, framing error or break indication is in the FIFO data. This bit clears when there is no more error(s) in any of the bytes in the RX FIFO. 39

XR20M1280 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS REV. 1.0.0 3.9 Setup/Hysteresis Register (SHR) - Write Only In the Auto RS-485 half-duplex mode, the RTS# control output can be asserted from 0 to 15 bit times before data is transmitted to allow for the startup time of an RS-485 transceiver that may be in shutdown mode. The RTS# control output can also be delayed from 0 to 15 bit times after the last byte has been transmitted to allow the data to propogate down long data cables. In the Auto RTS flow control mode, this register selects the hysteresis levels that will be used with programmable trigger levels (Trigger Table-D). SHR[3:0]: RS-485 Turn-Around Delay / Auto RTS Hysteresis When the Auto RS-485 half-duplex mode is enabled (FCTR[3] = 1), the value programmed in these bits will be the number of bits (0-15) the RTS# pin will wait before it is de-asserted after the last byte that has been transmitted. When Auto RTS flow control is enabled (EFR[6] = 1) and programmable trigger levels are used (FCTR[5:4] = ’11’), these bits select the hysteresis levels for the RTS# flow control pin (See Table 15). TABLE 15: AUTO RTS HYSTERESIS RTS# HYSTERESIS SHR BIT-3 SHR BIT-2 SHR BIT-1 SHR BIT-0 (CHARACTERS) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 ±4 0 0 1 0 ±6 0 0 1 1 ±8 0 1 0 0 ±8 0 1 0 1 ±16 0 1 1 0 ±24 0 1 1 1 ±32 1 0 0 0 ±40 1 0 0 1 ±44 1 0 1 0 ±48 1 0 1 1 ±52 1 1 0 0 ±12 1 1 0 1 ±20 1 1 1 0 ±28 1 1 1 1 ±36 SHR[7:4]: RS-485 Setup Delay When the Auto RS-485 half-duplex mode is enabled (FCTR[3] = 1), the value programmed in these bits will be the number of bits (0-15) the RTS# pin is asserted before the first byte is transmitted. 40

XR20M1280 REV. 1.0.0 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS 3.10 Modem Status Register (MSR) - Read Only This register provides the current state of the modem interface input signals. Lower four bits of this register are used to indicate the changed information. These bits are set to a logic 1 whenever a signal from the modem changes state. These bits may be used for general purpose inputs when they are not used with modem signals. Reading the higher four bits shows the status of the modem signals. MSR[0]: Delta CTS# Input Flag • Logic 0 = No change on CTS# input (default). • Logic 1 = The CTS# input has changed state since the last time it was monitored. A modem status interrupt will be generated if MSR interrupt is enabled (IER bit-3). MSR[1]: Delta DSR# Input Flag • Logic 0 = No change on DSR# input (default). • Logic 1 = The DSR# input has changed state since the last time it was monitored. A modem status interrupt will be generated if MSR interrupt is enabled (IER bit-3). MSR[2]: Delta RI# Input Flag • Logic 0 = No change on RI# input (default). • Logic 1 = The RI# input has changed from LOW to HIGH, ending of the ringing signal. A modem status interrupt will be generated if MSR interrupt is enabled (IER bit-3). MSR[3]: Delta CD# Input Flag • Logic 0 = No change on CD# input (default). • Logic 1 = Indicates that the CD# input has changed state since the last time it was monitored. A modem status interrupt will be generated if MSR interrupt is enabled (IER bit-3). MSR[4]: CTS Input Status CTS# pin may function as automatic hardware flow control signal input if it is enabled and selected by Auto CTS (EFR bit-7). Auto CTS Flow Control allows starting and stopping of local data transmissions based on the modem CTS# signal. A HIGH on the CTS# pin will stop UART transmitter as soon as the current character has finished transmission, and a LOW will resume data transmission. Normally MSR bit-4 bit is the complement of the CTS# input. However in the loopback mode, this bit is equivalent to the RTS# bit in the MCR register. The CTS# input may be used as a general purpose input when the modem interface is not used. MSR[5]: DSR Input Status Normally this bit is the complement of the DSR# input. In the loopback mode, this bit is equivalent to the DTR# bit in the MCR register. The DSR# input may be used as a general purpose input when the modem interface is not used. MSR[6]: RI Input Status Normally this bit is the complement of the RI# input. In the loopback mode this bit is equivalent to bit-2 in the MCR register. The RI# input may be used as a general purpose input when the modem interface is not used. MSR[7]: CD Input Status Normally this bit is the complement of the CD# input. In the loopback mode this bit is equivalent to bit-3 in the MCR register. The CD# input may be used as a general purpose input when the modem interface is not used. 41

SFR[6]: Enable/Disable 9-bit mode (Requires EFR[4] = 1) For the 9-bit mode information, See ”Section 1.17, Normal Multidrop (9-bit) Mode - Receiver” on page 23. • Logic 0 = Normal 8-bit mode (default). • Logic 1 = Enable 9-bit or Multidrop mode. SFR[7]: TX Address Bit (Requires EFR[4] = 1) This bit requires that forced "0" parity is enabled (LCR[5:3]=’111’). If this bit is enabled, the 9th bit of the next byte written to THR will be a ’1’. This bit resets after a write to THR. For the 9-bit mode information, See ”Section 1.18, Multidrop (9-bit) Mode - Transmitter” on page 23. • Logic 0 = Value of 9th bit will be ’0’ (default). • Logic 1 = Value of 9th bit will be ’1’. 42

XR20M1280 REV. 1.0.0 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS 3.12 Scratch Pad Register (SPR) - Read/Write This is an 8-bit general purpose register for the user to store temporary data. The content of this register is preserved during sleep mode but becomes 0xFF (default) after a reset or a power off-on cycle. 3.13 GPIO Level Register (GPIOLVL) - Read/Write This register provides the current state of the GPIO pins. If a GPIO has been configured as an input: ■ A read will report the current state of the input. ■ A write to any GPIO configured as an input will not have any effect. If a GPIO has been configured as an output: ■ A read will report the current value of the register. The current value of the register will also be the current state of the output pin if three-state mode is not enabled (GPIO3T register). ■ A write will change the current value of the register. The current value of the register will also be the current state of the output pin if three-state mode is not enabled (GPIO3T register). 3.14 Enhanced Mode Select Register (EMSR) - Write-only This register replaces SPR (during a Write) and is accessible only when FCTR[6] = 1. EMSR[1:0]: Receive/Transmit FIFO Level Count When Scratchpad Swap (FCTR[6]) is asserted, EMSR bits 1-0 controls what mode the FIFO Level Counter is operating in. TABLE 16: SCRATCHPAD SWAP SELECTION FCTR[6] EMSR[1] EMSR[0] Scratchpad is 0 X X Scratchpad 1 X 0 RX FIFO Level Counter Mode 1 0 1 TX FIFO Level Counter Mode 1 1 1 Alternate RX/TX FIFO Counter Mode During Alternate RX/TX FIFO Level Counter Mode, the first value read after EMSR bits 1-0 have been asserted will always be the RX FIFO Level Counter. The second value read will correspond with the TX FIFO Level Counter. The next value will be the RX FIFO Level Counter again, then the TX FIFO Level Counter and so on and so forth. EMSR[2]: Send TX Immediately • Logic 0 = Do not send TX immediately (default). • Logic 1 = Send TX immediately. When FIFO is enabled and this bit is set, the next data will be written to the TX shift register. Thus, the data will be sent out immediately instead of queuing in the FIFO. Every time, only 1 byte will be send out. Once this byte has been sent out, the EMSR[2] will go back to 0 automatically. If more than 1 byte will be sent out, EMSR[2] needs to be set to 1 for each byte. EMSR[3]: Invert RTS in RS485 mode • Logic 0 = RTS# output is a logic 0 during TX (default). • Logic 1 = RTS# output is a logic 1 during TX. 43

XR20M1280 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS REV. 1.0.0 EMSR[4]: Modem Outputs Three-State Control • Logic 0 = TX, RTS#, and DTR# outputs are active (default). • Logic 1 = TX, RTS#, and DTR# outputs are in three-state mode. EMSR[5]: Reserved This bit is reserved and should be ’0’. EMSR[6]: LSR Interrupt Mode • Logic 0 = LSR Interrupt Delayed (default). LSR bits 2, 3, and 4 will generate an interrupt when the character with the error is in the RHR. • Logic 1 = LSR Interrupt Immediate. LSR bits 2, 3, and 4 will generate an interrupt as soon as the character is received into the FIFO. EMSR[7]: Xoff/Special character Interrupt Mode Select This bit selects how the Xoff and Special character interrupt is cleared. The XON interrupt can only be cleared by reading the ISR register. • Logic 0 = Xoff interrupt is cleared by either reading ISR register or when an XON character is received. Special character interrupt is cleared by either reading ISR register or when next character is received. (default). • Logic 1 = Xoff/Special character interrupt can only be cleared by reading the ISR register. 3.15 Baud Rate Generator Registers (DLL, DLM and DLD) - Read/Write These registers make-up the value of the baud rate divisor. The M1280 has different DLL, DLM and DLD for transmitter and receiver. It provides more convenience for the transmitter and receiver to transmit data with different rate. The M1280 uses DLD[7:6] to select TX or RX. Then it provides DLD[5:0] to select the sampling frequency and fractional baud rate divisor. The concatenation of the contents of DLM and DLL gives the 16-bit divisor value. The value is added to DLD[3:0]/16 to achieve the fractional baud rate divisor. DLD must be enabled via EFR bit-4 before it can be accessed. See Table 17 below and See ”Section 1.8, Programmable Baud Rate Generator with Fractional Divisor” on page 15. DLD[5:4]: Sampling Rate Select These bits select the data sampling rate. By default, the data sampling rate is 16X. The maximum data rate will double if the 8X mode is selected and will quadruple if the 4X mode is selected. See Table 17 below. TABLE 17: SAMPLING RATE SELECT DLD[5] DLD[4] SAMPLING RATE 0 0 16X 0 1 8X 1 X 4X DLD[6]: Independent BRG enable • Logic 0 = The Transmitter and Receiver uses the same Baud Rate Generator. (default). • Logic 1 = The Transmitter and Receiver uses different Baud Rate Generators. Use DLD[7] for selecting which baud rate generator to configure. 44

XR20M1280 REV. 1.0.0 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS DLD[7]: BRG select When DLD[6] = 1, this bit selects whether the values written to DLL, DLM and DLD[5:0] will be for the Transmit Baud Rate Generator or the Receive Baud Rate Generator. When DLD[6] = 0 (same Baud Rate Generator used for both TX and RX), this bit must be a logic 0 to properly write to the appropriate DLL, DLM and DLD[5:0]. . TABLE 18: BRG SELECT DLD[7] DLD[6] BRG 0 0 Transmitter and Receiver uses same BRG. Writing to DLL, DLM and DLD[5:0] configures the BRG for both the TX and RX. 0 1 Transmitter and Receiver uses different BRGs. Writing to DLL, DLM and DLD[5:0] configures the BRG for TX. 1 1 Transmitter and Receiver uses different BRGs. Writing to DLL, DLM and DLD[5:0] configures the BRG for RX. 1 0 Transmitter and Receiver uses same BRG. Writing to DLL, DLM and DLD[5:0] has no effect on BRG used by the TX and RX. 3.16 Trigger Level Register (TRG) - Write-Only User Programmable Transmit/Receive Trigger Level Register. TRG[7:0]: Trigger Level Register These bits are used to program desired trigger levels when trigger Table-D is selected. FCTR bit-7 selects between programming the RX Trigger Level (a logic 0) and the TX Trigger Level (a logic 1). 3.17 RX/TX FIFO Level Count Register (FC) - Read-Only This register replaces SPR (during a read) and is accessible when FCTR[6] = 1. This register is also accessible when LCR = 0xBF. It is suggested to read the FIFO Level Count Register at the Scratchpad Register location when FCTR bit-6 = 1. See Table 16. FC[7:0]: RX/TX FIFO Level Count Receive/Transmit FIFO Level Count. Number of characters in Receiver FIFO (FCTR[7] = 0) or Transmitter FIFO (FCTR[7] = 1) can be read via this register. Reading this register is OK anytime since setting LCR = 0xBF no longer affects the data byte format. 3.18 Feature Control Register (FCTR) - Read/Write FCTR[0]: SLEEP/PWRDN# Function Control • Logic 0 = SLEEP pin (input) is enabled. This pin can be used to force the XR20M1280 to enter the sleep mode immediately after the next data byte that is being transmitted on the TX pin and being received on the RX pin has been completed. • Logic 1 = PWRDN# pin (output) is enabled. When the XR20M1280 enters the sleep mode, this pin will be LOW. When the XR20M1280 is not in sleep mode, this pin will be HIGH. FCTR[1]: Reserved This bit is reserved and should be ’0’. FCTR[2]: IrDa RX Inversion • Logic 0 = Select RX input as encoded IrDa data (Idle state will be LOW). • Logic 1 = Select RX input as inverted encoded IrDa data (Idle state will be HIGH). 45

XR20M1280 I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS REV. 1.0.0 FCTR[3]: Auto RS-485 Direction Control • Logic 0 = Standard ST16C550 mode. Transmitter generates an interrupt when transmit holding register becomes empty and transmit shift register is shifting data out. • Logic 1 = Enable Auto RS485 Direction Control function. The direction control signal, RTS# pin, changes its output logic state from LOW to HIGH one bit time after the last stop bit of the last character is shifted out. Also, the Transmit interrupt generation is delayed until the transmitter shift register becomes empty. The RTS# output pin will automatically return to a LOW when a data byte is loaded into the TX FIFO. However, RTS# behavior can be inverted by setting EMSR[3] = 1. FCTR[5:4]: Transmit/Receive Trigger Table Select See Table 19 for more details.

ST16C550 compatible mode. • Logic 1 = FIFO Count register (Read-Only), Enhanced Mode Select Register (Write-Only). Number of characters in transmit or receive FIFO can be read via scratch pad register when this bit is set. Enhanced Mode Select Register is selected when it is written into. FCTR[7]: Programmable Trigger Register Select • Logic 0 = Registers TRG and FC selected for RX. • Logic 1 = Registers TRG and FC selected for TX. 3.19 Enhanced Feature Register (EFR) - Read/Write Enhanced features are enabled or disabled using this register. Bit 0-3 provide single or dual consecutive character software flow control selection (see Table 20). When the Xon1 and Xon2 and Xoff1 and Xoff2 modes are selected, the double 8-bit words are concatenated into two sequential characters. Caution: note that whenever changing the TX or RX flow control bits, always reset all bits back to logic 0 (disable) before programming a new setting. 46

This bit enables IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 3-5, MCR bits 5-7, DLD, SHR and SFR to be modified. After modifying any enhanced bits, EFR bit-4 can be set to a logic 0 to latch the new values. This feature prevents legacy software from altering or overwriting the enhanced functions once set. Normally, it is recommended to leave it enabled, logic 1. • Logic 0 = modification disable/latch enhanced features. IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 3-5, MCR bits 5- 7, DLD, SHR and SFR are saved to retain the user settings. After a reset, the IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 3-5, and MCR bits 5-7, DLD, SHR and SFR are set to a logic 0 to be compatible with ST16C550 mode (default). • Logic 1 = Enables the EFR[3:0] register bits to be modified by the user. EFR[5]: Special Character Detect Enable • Logic 0 = Special Character Detect Disabled (default). • Logic 1 = Special Character Detect Enabled. The UART compares each incoming receive character with data in Xoff-2 register. If a match exists, the receive data will be transferred to FIFO and ISR bit-4 will be set to indicate detection of the special character. Bit-0 corresponds with the LSB bit of the receive character. If flow control is set for comparing Xon1, Xoff1 (EFR [1:0]= ‘10’) then flow control and special character work normally. However, if flow control is set for comparing Xon2, Xoff2 (EFR[1:0]= ‘01’) then flow control works normally, but Xoff2 will not go to the FIFO, and will generate an Xoff interrupt and a special character interrupt, if enabled via IER bit-5. 47

When Auto RTS is selected, an interrupt will be generated when the receive FIFO is filled to the programmed trigger level and RTS de-asserts HIGH at the next upper trigger level/hysteresis level. RTS# will return LOW when FIFO data falls below the next lower trigger level/hysteresis level. The RTS# output must be asserted (LOW) before the auto RTS can take effect.
