DESCRIPTION
The '754C is a quad universal asynchronous receiver
transmitter (UART) with 64-byte FIFOs, automatic
hardware and software flow control, and data rates
up to 3 Mbps. It incorporates the functionality of four
UARTs, each UART having its own register set and
FIFOs. The four UARTs share only the data bus
interface and clock source, otherwise they operate
independently. Another name for the UART function
is Asynchronous Communications Element (ACE),
and these terms are used interchangeably. The bulk
of this document describes the behavior of each
ACE, with the understanding that four such devices
are incorporated into the '754C. The '754C offers
enhanced features. It has a transmission control
register (TCR) that stores received FIFO threshold
level to start or stop transmission during hardware
and software flow control. With the FIFO RDY
register, the software gets the status of
TXRDY/RXRDY for all four ports in one access. Onchip status registers provide the user with error
indications, operational status, and modem interface
control. System interrupts may be tailored to meet
user requirements. An internal loopback capability
allows onboard diagnostics.
Each UART transmits data sent to it from the
peripheral 8-bit bus on the TX signal and receives
characters on the RX signal. Characters can be
programmed to be 5, 6, 7, or 8 bits. The UART has a
64-byte receive FIFO and transmit FIFO and can be
programmed to interrupt at different trigger levels.
The UART generates its own desired baud rate
based upon a programmable divisor and its input
clock. It can transmit even, odd, or no parity and 1-,
1.5-, or 2-stop bits. The receiver can detect break,
idle or framing errors, FIFO overflow, and parity
errors. The transmitter can detect FIFO underflow.
The UART also contains a software interface for
modem control operations, and software flow control
and hardware flow control capabilities.

Clock select. CLKSEL selects the divide-by-1 or divide-by-4 prescalable clock. During the reset,
a logic 1 (VCC) on CLKSEL selects the divide-by-1 prescaler. A logic 0 (GND) on CLKSEL
selects the divide-by-4 prescaler. The value of CLKSEL is latched into MCR[7] at the trailing
edge of RESET. A logic 1 (VCC) on CLKSEL will latch a 0 into MCR[7]. A logic 0 (GND) on
CLKSEL will latch a 1 into MCR[7]. MCR[7] can be changed after RESET to alter the prescaler
value.

O
Interrupt A, B, C, and D (active high). These pins provide individual channel interrupts, INTA-D.
INTA−D are enabled when MCR[3] is set to a 1, interrupts are enabled in the interrupt enable
register (IER) and when an interrupt condition exists. Interrupt conditions include: receiver
errors, available receiver buffer data, transmit buffer empty, or when a modem status flag is
detected. INTA−D are in the high-impedance state after reset.
INTSEL
–
I
Interrupt select (active high with internal pulldown). INTSEL can be used in conjunction with
MCR[3] to enable or disable the 3-state interrupts INTA-D or override MCR[3] and force
continuous interrupts. Interrupt outputs are enabled continuously by making this pin a 1. Driving
this pin low allows MCR[3] to control the 3-state interrupt output. In this mode, MCR[3] is set to
a 1 to enable the 3-state outputs.
IOR
40
I
Read input (active low strobe). A valid low level on IOR loads the contents of an internal
register defined by address bits A0 through A2 onto the '754C data bus (D0 through D7) for
access by an external CPU.
IOW

I
Write input (active low strobe). A valid low level on IOW transfers the contents of the data bus
(D0 through D7) from the external CPU to an internal register that is defined by address bits A0
through A2.
RESET
27

if it is enabled.
O
Request to send (active low). These outputs are associated with individual UART channels A
through D. A low on the RTS pins indicates the transmitter has data ready and waiting to send.
Writing a 1 in the modem control register (MCR[1]) sets these pins to low, indicating data is
available. After a reset, these pins are set to 1. These pins only affect the transmit and receive
operation when auto-RTS function is enabled through the enhanced feature register (EFR[6]),
for hardware flow control operation.

The vote logic determines whether the RX data is a logic 1 or 0. It takes three samples of the RX line and uses a
majority vote to determine the logic level received. The vote logic operates on all bits received.
Functional Description
The '754C UART is pin compatible with the TL16C754B and ST16C654 UARTs. It provides more enhanced
features. All additional features are provided through a special enhanced feature register.
The UART performs serial-to-parallel conversion on data characters received from peripheral devices or modems
and parallel-to-parallel conversion on data characters transmitted by the processor. The complete status of each
channel of the '754C UART can be read at any time during functional operation by the processor.
The '754C UART can be placed in an alternate mode (FIFO mode) relieving the processor of excessive software
overhead by buffering received and transmitted characters. Both the receiver and transmitter FIFOs can store up
to 64 bytes (including three additional bits of error status per byte for the receiver FIFO) and have selectable or
programmable trigger levels. Primary outputs RXRDY and TXRDY allow Signaling of DMA transfers.
The '754C UART has selectable hardware flow control and software flow control. Both schemes significantly
reduce software overhead and increase system efficiency by automatically controlling serial data flow. Hardware
flow control uses the RTS output and CTS input signals. Software flow control uses programmable Xon and Xoff
characters.
The UART includes a programmable baud rate generator that can divide the timing reference clock input by a
divisor between 1 and (216–1). The CLKSEL pin can be used to divide the input clock by 4 or by 1 to generate
the reference clock during the reset. The divide-by-4 clock is selected when CLKSEL pin is a logic 0 or the
divide-by-1 is selected when CLKSEL is a logic 1.
Trigger Levels
The '754C UART provides independent selectable and programmable trigger levels for both receiver and
transmitter DMA and interrupt generation. After reset, both transmitter and receiver FIFOs are disabled and so, in
effect, the trigger level is the default value of one byte. The selectable trigger levels are available through the
FCR. The programmable trigger levels are available through the TLR.

SLLS644H – DECEMBER 2007 – REVISED JANUARY 2014
Hardware Flow Control
Hardware flow control is composed of auto-CTS and auto-RTS. Auto-CTS and auto-RTS can be enabled or
disabled independently by programming EFR[7:6].
With auto-CTS, CTS must be active before the UART can transmit data. Auto-RTS only activates the RTS output
when there is enough room in the FIFO to receive data and deactivates the RTS output when the RX FIFO is
sufficiently full. The HALT and RESTORE trigger levels in the TCR determine the levels at which RTS is
activated or deactivated. If both auto-CTS and auto-RTS are enabled, when RTS is connected to CTS, data
transmission does not occur unless the receiver FIFO has empty space. Thus, overrun errors are eliminated
during hardware flow control. If not enabled, overrun errors occur if the transmit data rate exceeds the receive
FIFO servicing latency.
Auto-RTS
Auto-RTS data flow control originates in the receiver block (see ). Figure 1 shows RTS functional timing. The
receiver FIFO trigger levels used in Auto-RTS are stored in the TCR. RTS is active if the RX FIFO level is below
the HALT trigger level in TCR[3:0]. When the receiver FIFO HALT trigger level is reached, RTS is deasserted.
The sending device (for example, another UART) may send an additional byte after the trigger level is reached
(assuming the sending UART has another byte to send) because it may not recognize the deassertion of RTS
until it has begun sending the additional byte. RTS is automatically reasserted once the receiver FIFO reaches
the RESUME trigger level programmed via TCR[7:4]. This reassertion allows the sending device to resume
transmission.
A.
N = receiver FIFO trigger level B.
B.
The two blocks in dashed lines cover the case where an additional byte is sent as described in Auto-RTS.
Figure 1. RTS Functional Timing
Auto-CTS
The transmitter circuitry checks CTS before sending the next data byte. When CTS is active, the transmitter
sends the next byte. To stop the transmitter from sending the following byte, CTS must be deasserted before the
middle of the last stop bit that is currently being sent. The auto-CTS function reduces interrupts to the host
system. When flow control is enabled, the CTS state changes and need not trigger host interrupts because the
device automatically controls its own transmitter. Without auto-CTS, the transmitter sends any data present in the
transmit FIFO and a receiver overrun error can result. Figure 2 shows CTS functional timing, and Figure 3 shows
an example of autoflow control.

When CTS is low, the transmitter keeps sending serial data out.

When CTS goes high before the middle of the last stop bit of the current byte, the transmitter finishes sending the
current byte, but it does not send the next byte.

Software Flow Control
Software flow control is enabled through the enhanced feature register and the modem control register. Different
combinations of software flow control can be enabled by setting different combinations of EFR[3−0]. Table 2
shows software flow control options.
Two other enhanced features relate to software flow control:
• Xon Any Function [MCR(5): Operation resumes after receiving any character after recognizing the Xoff
character.
NOTE
It is possible that an Xon1 character is recognized as an Xon Any character, which could
cause an Xon2 character to be written to the RX FIFO.
•
8
Special Character [EFR(5)]: Incoming data is compared to Xoff2. Detection of the special character sets the
Xoff interrupt {IIR(4)] but does not halt transmission. The Xoff interrupt is cleared by a read of the IIR. The
special character is transferred to the RX FIFO.

Receiver compares Xon1 and Xon2: Xoff1 and Xoff2
When software flow control operation is enabled, the '754C compares incoming data with Xoff1/2 programmed
characters (in certain cases Xoff1 and Xoff2 must be received sequentially (1)). When an Xoff character is
received, transmission is halted after completing transmission of the current character. Xoff character detection
also sets IIR[4] and causes INT to go high (if enabled via IER[5]).
To resume transmission an Xon1/2 character must be received (in certain cases Xon1 and Xon2 must be
received sequentially). When the correct Xon characters are received IIR[4] is cleared and the Xoff interrupt
disappears.
NOTE
If a parity, framing, or break error occurs while receiving a software flow control character,
this character is treated as normal data and is written to the RCV FIFO.
Xoff1 and Xoff2 characters are transmitted when the RX FIFO has passed the programmed trigger level
TCR[3:0].
Xon1 and Xon2 characters are transmitted when the RX FIFO reaches the trigger level programmed via
TCR[7:4].
NOTE
If, after an Xoff character has been sent, software flow control is disabled, the UART
transmits Xon characters automatically to enable normal transmission to proceed. A
feature of the '754C UART design is that if the software flow combination (EFR[3:0])
changes after an Xoff has been sent, the originally programmed Xon is automatically sent.
If the RX FIFO is still above the trigger level, the newly programmed Xoff1 or Xoff2 is
transmitted.
The transmission of Xoff and Xon follows the exact same protocol as transmission of an ordinary byte from the
FIFO. This means that even if the word length is set to be 5, 6, or 7 characters, then the 5, 6, or 7 least
significant bits of Xoff1, Xoff2 and Xon1, Xon2 are transmitted. The transmission of 5, 6, or 7 bits of a character
is seldom done, but this functionality is included to maintain compatibility with earlier designs.
It is assumed that software flow control and hardware flow control are never enabled simultaneously. Figure 4
shows a software flow control example.
(1)
When pairs of Xon/Xoff characters are programmed to occur sequentially, received Xon1/Xoff1 characters will be written to the Rx FIFO
if the subsequent character is not Xon2/Xoff2.

Software Flow Control Example
Assumptions: UART1 is transmitting a large text file to UART2. Both UARTs are using software flow control with
single character Xoff (0F) and Xon (0D) tokens. Both have Xoff threshold (TCR [3:0]=F) set to 60 and Xon
threshold (TCR[7:4]=8) set to 32. Both have the interrupt receive threshold (TLR[7:4]=D) set to 52.
UART1 begins transmission and sends 52 characters, at which point UART2 generates an interrupt to its
processor to service the RCV FIFO, but assumes the interrupt latency is fairly long. UART1 continues sending
characters until a total of 60 characters have been sent. At this time UART2 transmits a 0F to UART1, informing
UART1 to halt transmission. UART1 likely sends the 61st character while UART2 is sending the Xoff character.
Now UART2 is serviced and the processor reads enough data out of the RCV FIFO that the level drops to 32.
UART2 now sends a 0D to UART1, informing UART1 to resume transmission.

Interrupts
The '754C UART has interrupt generation and prioritization (six prioritized levels of interrupts) capability. The
interrupt enable register (IER) enables each of the six types of interrupts and the INT signal in response to an
interrupt generation. The IER also can disable the interrupt system by clearing bits 0 to 3, 5 to 7. When an
interrupt is generated, the interrupt identification register (IIR) indicates that an interrupt is pending and provides
the type of interrupt through IIR[5−0]. Table 5 summarizes the interrupt control functions.

It is important to note that for the framing error, parity error, and break conditions, LSR[7] generates the interrupt.
LSR[7] is set when there is an error anywhere in the RX FIFO and is cleared only when there are no more errors
remaining in the FIFO. LSR[4–2] always represent the error status for the received character at the top of the Rx
FIFO. Reading the Rx FIFO updates LSR[4–2] to the appropriate status for the new character at the top of the
FIFO. If the Rx FIFO is empty, then LSR[4–2] is all 0.
For the Xoff interrupt, if an Xoff flow character detection caused the interrupt, the interrupt is cleared by an Xon
flow character detection. If a special character detection caused the interrupt, the interrupt is cleared by a read of
the ISR.
Interrupt Mode Operation
In interrupt mode (if any bit of IER[3:0] is1), the processor is informed of the status of the receiver and transmitter
by an interrupt signal, INT. Therefore, it is not necessary to continuously poll the line status register (LSR) to see
if any interrupt needs to be serviced. Figure 5 shows interrupt mode operation.
Figure 5. Interrupt Mode Operation
Polled Mode Operation
In polled mode (IER[3:0] = 0000), the status of the receiver and transmitter can then be checked by polling the
line status register (LSR). This mode is an alternative to the interrupt mode of operation where the status of the
receiver and transmitter is automatically known by means of interrupts sent to the CPU. Figure 6 shows polled
mode operation.

SLLS644H – DECEMBER 2007 – REVISED JANUARY 2014
Figure 6. FIFO Polled Mode Operation
DMA Signaling
There are two modes of DMA operation, DMA mode 0 or 1. Bit 3 of the FIFO control register, FCR[3], selects the
DMA mode.
In DMA mode 0 or FIFO disable mode (FCR[0] = 0), DMA occurs in single character transfers. In DMA mode 1,
multicharacter (or block) DMA transfers are managed to relieve the processor for longer periods of time.
Single DMA Transfers (DMA Mode0/FIFO Disable)
The ACE transmitter logic handles characters one at a time and transmits each time a character is written to the
THR.
Block DMA Transfers (DMA Mode1)
The transmitter does not transmit data until a trigger level number of spaces is available in the FIFO. Bits 4 and 5
of the FIFO control register, FCR[5:4], select the trigger level. Bits 7 and 6 of the FIFO control register, FCR[7:6]
set the trigger level for the receive FIFO.
Sleep Mode
Sleep mode is an enhanced feature of the '754C UART. It is enabled when EFR[4], the enhanced functions bit, is
set and when IER[4] is set. Sleep mode is entered when:
• The serial data input line, RX, is idle (see break and timeout conditions).
• The TX FIFO and TX shift register are empty.
• There are no interrupts pending except THR and timeout interrupts.
Sleep mode is not entered if there is data in the RX FIFO.
In sleep mode, the UART clock and baud rate clock are stopped. Because most registers are clocked using
these clocks, the power consumption is greatly reduced. The UART wakes up when any change is detected on
the RX line, when there is any change in the state of the modem input pins, or if data is written to the TX FIFO.
NOTE
Writing to the divisor latches, DLL and DLH, to set the baud clock, must not be done
during sleep mode. Therefore, TI recommends to disable sleep mode using IER[4] before
writing to DLL or DLH.
Break and Timeout Conditions
An RX timeout condition is detected when the receiver line, RX, has been high for a time equivalent to (4 ×
programmed word length) + 12 bits and there is at least one byte stored in the Rx FIFO.
When a break condition occurs, the TX line is pulled low. A break condition is activated by setting LCR[6].

Programmable Baud Rate Generator
The '754C UART contains a programmable baud generator that divides reference clock by a divisor in the range
between 1 and (216−1). The output frequency of the baud rate generator is 16× the baud rate. An additional
divide-by-4 prescaler is also available and can be selected by the CLKSEL pin or MCR[7], as shown in the
following. The formula for the divisor is:
Divisor = (XTAL crystal input frequency / prescaler) / (desired baud rate X 16)
Where
1 when CLKSEL = high during reset, or MCR[7] is set to 0 after reset
prescaler =
4 when CLKSEL = low during reset, or MCR[7] is set to 1 after reset
Figure 7 shows the internal prescaler and baud rate generator circuitry.

DLL and DLH must be written to in order to program the baud rate. DLL and DLH are the least significant and
most significant byte of the baud rate divisor. If DLL and DLH are both 0, the UART is effectively disabled,
because no baud clock is generated. The programmable baud rate generator is provided to select both the
transmit and receive clock rates. Table 6 and Table 7 show the baud rate and divisor correlation for the crystal
with frequency 1.8432 MHz and 3.072 MHz, respectively.

Receiver Holding Register (RHR)
The receiver section consists of the receiver holding register (RHR) and the receiver shift register (RSR). The
RHR is actually a 64-byte FIFO. The RSR receives serial data from RX terminal. The data is converted to parallel
data and moved to the RHR. The receiver section is controlled by the line control register. If the FIFO is disabled,
location 0 of the FIFO is used to store the characters. If overflow occurs, characters are lost. The RHR also
stores the error status bits associated with each character.

Transmit Holding Register (THR)
The transmitter section consists of the transmit holding register (THR) and the transmit shift register (TSR). The
transmit holding register is actually a 64-byte FIFO. The THR receives data and shifts it into the TSR where it is
converted to serial data and moved out on the TX terminal. If the FIFO is disabled, location 0 of the FIFO is used
to store the byte. Characters are lost if overflow occurs.
FIFO Control Register (FCR)
This is a write-only register which is used for enabling the FIFOs, clearing the FIFOs, setting transmitter and
receiver trigger levels, and selecting the type of DMA signaling. Table 11 shows FIFO control register bit settings.

Sets the trigger level for the RX FIFO:
00 – 1 characters
01 – 4 characters
10 – 56 characters
11 – 60 characters
FCR[5−4] can be modified and enabled only when EFR[4] is set. This is because the transmit trigger level is regarded as an enhanced
function.
Line Control Register (LCR)
This register controls the data communication format. The word length, number of stop bits, and parity type are
selected by writing the appropriate bits to the LCR. Table 12 shows line control register bit settings.

4
0 = No break condition
1 = A break condition occurred and associated byte is 00 (that is, RX was low for at least one character time frame)
5
0 = Transmit hold register is not empty
1 = Transmit hold register is empty. The processor can now load up to 64 bytes of data into the THR if the TX FIFO is
enabled.
6
0 = Transmitter hold AND shift registers are not empty
1 = Transmitter hold AND shift registers are empty
7
0 = Normal operation
1 = At least one parity error, framing error or break indication are stored in the receiver FIFO. Bit 7 is cleared when no
errors are present in the FIFO.
When the LSR is read, LSR[4:2] reflects the error bits [BI, FE, PE] of the character at the top of the RX FIFO
(next character to be read). The LSR[4:2] registers do not physically exist, as the data read from the RX FIFO is
output directly onto the output data-bus, DI[4:2], when the LSR is read. Therefore, errors in a character are
identified by reading the LSR and then reading the RHR.

LSR[7] is set when there is an error anywhere in the RX FIFO and is cleared only when there are no more errors
remaining in the FIFO.
NOTE
Reading the LSR does not cause an increment of the RX FIFO read pointer. The RX FIFO
read pointer is incremented by reading the RHR.
Modem Control Register (MCR)

Modem Status Register (MSR)
This 8-bit register provides information about the current state of the control lines from the modem, data set, or
peripheral device to the processor. It also indicates when a control input from the modem changes state.
Table 15 shows modem status register bit settings.

0
Indicates that CTS input (or MCR[1] in loopback) has changed state. Cleared on a read.
1
Indicates that DSR input (or MCR[0] in loopback) has changed state. Cleared on a read.
2
Indicates that RI input (or MCR[2] in loopback) has changed state from low to high. Cleared on a read.
3
Indicates that CD input (or MCR[3] in loopback) has changed state. Cleared on a read.
4
This bit is equivalent to MCR[1] during local loop-back mode. It is the complement to the CTS input.
5
This bit is equivalent to MCR[0] during local loop-back mode. It is the complement to the DSR input.
6
This bit is equivalent to MCR[2] during local loop-back mode. It is the complement to the RI input.
7
This bit is equivalent to MCR[3] during local loop-back mode. It is the complement to the CD input.
The primary inputs RI, CD, CTS, and DSR are all active low, but their registered equivalents in the MSR and MCR (in loopback)
registers are active high.
Interrupt Enable Register (IER)
The interrupt enable register (IER) enables each of the six types of interrupt, receiver error, RHR interrupt, THR
interrupt, Xoff received, or CTS/RTS change of state from low to high. The INT output signal is activated in
response to interrupt generation. Table 16 shows interrupt enable register bit settings.

Divisor Latches (DLL, DLH)
Two 8-bit registers 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 division.
DLL and DLH can only be written to before sleep mode is enabled (that is, before IER[4] is set).
Transmission Control Register (TCR)
This 8-bit register is used to store the receive FIFO threshold levels to start or stop transmission during hardware
or software flow control. Table 20 shows transmission control register bit settings.

TCR trigger levels are available from 0 to 60 bytes with a granularity of four.
TCR can be written to only when EFR[4] = 1 and MCR[6] = 1. The programmer must program the TCR such that
TCR[3:0] > TCR[7:4]. There is no built-in hardware check to make sure this condition is met. Also, the TCR must
be programmed with this condition before Auto-RTS or software flow control is enabled to avoid spurious
operation of the device.
Trigger Level Register (TLR)
This 8-bit register is used to store the transmit and received FIFO trigger levels used for DMA and interrupt
generation. Trigger levels from 4 to 60 can be programmed with a granularity of 4. Table 21 shows trigger level
register bit settings.

trigger levels via the FIFO control register (FCR) are used for the transmit and receive FIFO trigger levels.
Trigger levels from 4 to 60 bytes are available with a granularity of 4. The TLR should be programmed for N / 4,

Alternate Function Register (AFR)
The alternate function register (AFR) is used to enable some extra functionality beyond the capabilities of the
original TL16C754. The first of these is a concurrent write mode, which can be useful in more expediently setting
up all four UART channels. The second addition is the IrDA mode, which supports Standard IrDA (SIR) mode
with baud rates from 2400 to 115.2 bps. The third addition is support for RS-485 bus drivers or transceivers by
providing an output pin (DTRx) per channel, which is timed to keep the RS-485 driver enabled as long as
transmit data is pending.
The AFR is located at A[2:0] = 010 when LCR[7:5] = 100.

CONC enables the concurrent write of all four (754) or two (752) channels simultaneously,
which helps speed up initialization. Ensure that any indirect addressing modes have been
enabled before using.
1
IREN enables the IrDA SIR mode. This mode is only specified to 115.2 bps and use of this
mode at higher speeds is not recommended.
2
485EN enables the half duplex RS-485 mode and causes the DTRx output to be set high
whenever there is any data in the THR or TSR and to be held high until the delay set by
DLY3:0 has expired, at which time it is set low. The DTRx output is intended to drive the
enabled input of an RS-485 driver. When this bit is set, the transmitter interrupts are held off
until the TSR is empty, unless 485LG is set.
3
485LG is set when the 485EN is set. This bit indicates that a relatively large data block is
being set, requiring more than a single load of the xmt fifo. In this case, the transmitter
interrupts occur as in the standard RS-232 mode, either when the xmt fifo contents drop
below the xmt threshold or when the xmt fifo is empty.
4
RCVEN is valid only when 485EN or IREN is set, and allows the serial receiver to listen in
or snoop on the RS485 traffic or IrDA traffic. RS485 mode is generally considered half
duplex, and usually a node is either driving or receiving, but there can be cases when it is
advantageous to verify what you are sending. This can be used to detect collisions or as
part of an arbitration mechanism on the bus. When both RCVEN and 485EN are set, the
receiver stores any data presented on RX, if any. Note that implies that the external RS485
receiver is enabled. Whenever 485EN is cleared, the serial receiver is enabled for normal
full duplex RS232 traffic. If RCVEN is cleared while 485EN is set, the receiver is disabled
while that channel is transmitting. Standard IrDA (SIR) is also considered half duplex. Often
the light energy from the transmitting LED is coupled back into the receiving PIN diode,
which creates an input data stream that is not of interest to the host. Disabling the receiver
(clearing RCVEN) prevents this reception, and eliminates the task of unloading the data. On
the other hand, for diagnostic or other purposes, it may be useful to observe this data
stream. For example, a mirror could be used to intentionally couple the output LED to the
input PIN. For these cases, RCVEN could be set to enable the receiver.
NOTE: When RCVEN is cleared (set to 0), the character timeout interrupt is not available,
even in RSA-232 mode. This can be useful when checking code for valid threshold
interrupts, as the timeout interrupt will not override the threshold interrupt.
7:5
DLY3–DLY0 sets a delay after the last stop bit of the last data byte being set before the
DTRx is set low, to allow for long cable runs. The delay is in number of bit times and is
enabled by 485EN. The delay starts only when both the xmt serial shift register (TSR) is
empty and the xmt fifo (THR) is empty, and if started, will be cleared by any data being
written to the THR.

RS-485 Mode
The RS-485 mode is intended to simplify the interface between the UART channel and an RS-485 driver or
transceiver. When enabled by setting 485EN, the DTRx output goes high one bit time before the first start bit of
the first data byte being sent, and remains high as long as there is pending data in the transmitter shift register
(TSR) or transmitter holding register (THR, xmt fifo). After both are empty (after the last stop bit of the last data
byte), the DTRx output stays high for a programmable delay of 0 to 15 bit times, as set by DLY[3:0]. This helps
preserve data integrity over long signal lines. This is illustrated in the following.
Often RS-485 packets are relatively short and the entire packet can fit within the 64 byte xmt fifo. In this case, it
goes empty when the TSR goes empty. But in cases where a larger block needs to be sent, it is advantageous to
reload the xmt fifo as soon as it is depleted. Otherwise, the transmission stalls while waiting for the xmt fifo to be
reloaded, which varies with processor load. In this case, it is best to also set 485LG (large block) which causes
the transmit interrupt to occur wither when the THR becomes empty (if the xmt fifo level was not above the
threshold), or when the xmt fifo threshold is crossed. The reloading of the xmt fifo occurs while some data is
being shifted out, eliminating fifo underrun. If desired, when the last bytes of a current transmission are being
loaded in the xmt fifo, 485LG can be cleared before the load and the transmit interrupt occurs on the TSR going
empty.

Figure 26. IrDA Mode
The IrDA defines several protocols for sending and receiving serial infrared data, including rates of 115.2 kbps,
0.576 Mbps, 1.152 Mbps, and 4 Mbps. The low rate of 115.2 kbps was specified first and the others must
maintain downward compatibility with it. At the 115.2 kbps rate, the protocol implemented in the hardware is fairly
simple. It primarily defines a serial infrared data word to be surrounded by a start bit equal to 0 and a stop bit
equal to 1. Individual bits are encoded or decoded the same whether they are start, data, or stop bits. The IrDA
engine in the ’754C evaluate only single bits and only follow the 115.2-kbps protocol. The 115.2-kbps rate is a

maximum rate. When both ends of the transfer are setup to a lower but matching speed, the protocol still works.
The clock used to code or sample the data is 16 times the baud rate, or 1.843 MHz maximum. To code a 1, no
pulse is sent or received for 1-bit time period, or 16 clock cycles. To code a 0, one pulse is sent or received
within a 1-bit time period, or 16 clock cycles. The pulse must be at least 1.6-μs wide and 3 clock cycles long at
1.843 MHz. At lower baud rates the pulse can be 1.6 μs wide or as long as 3 clock cycles. The transmitter
output, Tx, is intended to drive a LED circuit to generate an infrared pulse. The LED circuits work on positive
pulses. A terminal circuit is expected to create the receiver input, Rx. Most, but not all, PIN circuits have
inversion and generate negative pulses from the detected infrared light. Their output is normally high. The '754C
can decode either negative or positive pulses on Rx.
IrDA Encoder Function
Serial data from a UART is encoded to transmit data to the optoelectronics. While the serial data input to this
block (Int_Tx) is high, the output (Tx) is always low, and the counter used to form a pulse on Tx is continuously
cleared. After Int_Tx resets to 0, Tx rises on the falling edge of the seventh 16XCLK. On the falling edge of the
tenth 16XCLK pulse, Tx falls, creating a 3-clock-wide pulse. While Int_Tx stays low, a pulse is transmitted during
the seventh to tenth clocks of each 16-clock bit cycle.
Figure 27. IrDA-SIR Encoding Scheme – Detailed
Timing Diagram
Figure 28. Encoding Scheme – Macro View
After reset, Int_Rx is high and the 4-bit counter is cleared. When a falling edge is detected on Rx, Int_Rx falls on
the next rising edge of 16XCLK with sufficient setup time. Int_Rx stays low for 16 cycles (16XCLK) and then
returns to high as required by the IrDA specification. As long as no pulses (falling edges) are detected on Rx,
Int_Rx remains high.
Figure 29. IrDA-SIR Decoding Scheme – Detailed
Timing Diagram
Figure 30. IrDA-SIR Decoding Scheme – Macro
View
It is possible for jitter or slight frequency differences to cause the next falling edge on Rx to be missed for one
16XCLK cycle. In that case, a 1-clock-wide pulse appears on Int_Rx between consecutive zeroes. It is important
for the UART to strobe Int_Rx in the middle of the bit time to avoid latching this 1-clock-wide pulse. The
TL16C550C UART already strobes incoming serial data at the proper time. Otherwise, note that data is required
to be framed by a leading 0 and a trailing 1. The falling edge of that first 0 on Int_Rx synchronizes the read
strobe. The strobe occurs on the eighth 16XCLK pulse after the Int_Rx falling edge and once every 16 cycles
thereafter until the stop bit occurs.

Figure 32. Recommended Strobing For Decoded Data
The '754C can decode positive pulses on Rx. The timing is different, but the variation is invisible to the UART.
The decoder, which works from the falling edge, now recognizes a 0 on the trailing edge of the pulse rather than
on the leading edge. As long as the pulse width is fairly constant, as defined by the specification, the trailing
edges should also be 16 clock cycles apart and data can readily be decoded. The 0 appears on Int_Rx after the
pulse rather than at the start of it.
