September 2003
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ST16C450 is a universal asynchronous receiver and transmitter. The ST16C450 is an improved version of the NS16450 UART with higher operating speed and lower access time. A programmable baud rate generator is provided to select transmit and receive clock rates from 50 Bps to 1.5 Mbps. The ST16C450 on board status registers provides the error conditions, type and status of the transfer operation being performed. Included is complete MODEM control capability, and a processor interrupt system that may be software tailored to the user’s requirements. The ST16C450 provides internal loopback capability for on board diagnostic testing. The ST16C450 is available in 40 pin PDIP, 44 pin PLCC, and 48 pin TQFP packages. It is fabricated in an advanced CMOS process to achieve low drain power and high speed requirements.

Pin Description Address-0 Select Bit Internal registers address selection. Address-1 Select Bit Internal registers address selection. Address-2 Select Bit Internal registers address selection. Read data strobe. Its function is the same as -IOR (see IOR), except it is active high. Either an active -IOR or IOR is required to transfer data from 16C450 to CPU during a read operation. Chip Select-0. Logical 1 on this pin provides the chip select0 function. Chip Select-1. Logical 1 on this pin provides the chip select1 function. Chip Select -2. Logical 0 on this pin provides the chip select2 function. Write data strobe. Its function is the same as -IOW (see IOW), but it acts as an active high input signal. Either -IOW or IOW is required to transfer data from the CPU to ST16C450 during a write operation. Address Strobe. A logic 0 transition on -AS latches the state of the chip selects and the register select bits, A0-A2. This input is used when address and chip selects are not stable for the duration of a read or write operation, i.e., a microprocessor that needs to de-multiplex the address and data bits. If not required, the -AS input can be permanently tied to a logic 0 (it is edge triggered).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ST16C450 provides serial asynchronous receive data synchronization, parallel-to-serial and serial-toparallel data conversions for both the transmitter and receiver sections. These functions are necessary for converting the serial data stream into parallel data that is required with digital data systems. Synchronization for the serial data stream is accomplished by adding start and stops bits to the transmit data to form a data character (character orientated protocol). Data integrity is insured by attaching a parity bit to the data character. The parity bit is checked by the receiver for any transmission bit errors. The electronic circuitry to provide all these functions is fairly complex especially when manufactured on a single integrated silicon chip. The ST16C450 represents such an integration with greatly enhanced features. The ST16C450 is fabricated with an advanced CMOS process. The ST16C450 is designed to work with high speed modems and shared network environments. The ST16C450 is capable of operation to 1.5Mbps with a 24 MHz crystal or external clock input. With a crystal of 14.7464 MHz and through a software option, the user can select data rates up to 460.8Kbps or 921.6Kbps.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS
Internal Registers The ST16C450 provides 11 internal registers for monitoring and control. These registers are shown in Table 2 below. These registers function as data holding registers (THR/RHR), interrupt status and control registers (IER/ISR), line status and control registers, (LCR/LSR), modem status and control registers (MCR/ MSR), programmable data rate (clock) control registers (DLL/DLM), and a user assessable scratchpad register (SPR).

ST16C450
Programmable Baud Rate Generator The ST16C450 supports high speed modem technologies that have increased input data rates by employing data compression schemes. For example a 33.6Kbps modem that employs data compression may require a 115.2Kbps input data rate. A 128.0Kbps ISDN modem that supports data compression may need an input data rate of 460.8Kbps. The ST16C450 can support a standard data rate of 921.6Kbps. The programmable Baud Rate Generator is capable of accepting an input clock up to 24 MHz, as required for supporting a 1.5Mbps data rate. The ST16C450 can be configured for internal or external clock operation. For internal clock oscillator operation, an industry standard microprocessor crystal (parallel resonant/ 22-33 pF load) is connected externally between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins, with an external 1 MΩ resistor across it.
Alternatively, an external clock can be connected to the XTAL1 pin to clock the internal baud rate generator for standard or custom rates. See figure 3 for crystal oscillator connection. The generator divides the input 16X clock by any divisor from 1 to 216 -1. The ST16C450 divides the basic crystal or external clock by 16. The frequency of the -BAUDOUT output pin is exactly 16X (16 times) of the selected baud rate (-BAUDOUT =16 x Baud Rate). Customized Baud Rates can be achieved by selecting the proper divisor values for the MSB and LSB sections of baud rate generator. Programming the Baud Rate Generator Registers DLM (MSB) and DLL (LSB) provides a user capability for selecting the desired final baud rate. The example in Table 3 below.

The -CTS, -DSR, -CD, and -RI are disconnected from their normal modem control inputs pins, and instead are connected internally to -DTR, -RTS, -OP1 and -OP2. Loop-back test data is entered into the transmit holding register via the user data bus interface, D0-D7. The transmit UART serializes the data and passes the serial data to the receive UART via the internal loop-back connection. The receive UART converts the serial data back into parallel data that is then made available at the user data interface, D0-D7. The user optionally compares the received data to the initial transmitted data for verifying error free operation of the UART TX/RX circuits. In this mode , the receiver and transmitter interrupts are fully operational. The Modem Control Interrupts are also operational. However, the interrupts can only be read using lower four bits of the Modem Control Register (MCR bits 0-3) instead of the four Modem Status Register bits 4-7. The interrupts are still controlled by the IER.

In the loop-back mode -OP1 and -OP2 in the MCR register (bits 0-1) control the modem -RI and -CD inputs respectively. MCR signals -DTR and -RTS (bits 0-1) are used to control the modem -CTS and -DSR inputs respectively. The transmitter output (TX) and the receiver input (RX) are disconnected from their

ST16C450
Transmit and Receive Holding Register The serial transmitter section consists of an 8-bit Transmit Hold Register (THR) and Transmit Shift Register (TSR). The status of the THR is provided in the Line Status Register (LSR). Writing to the THR transfers the contents of the data bus (D7-D0) to the THR, providing that the THR or TSR is empty. The THR empty flag in the LSR register will be set to a logic 1 when the transmitter is empty or when data is transferred to the TSR. Note that a write operation can be performed when the transmit holding register empty flag is set. The serial receive section also contains an 8-bit Receive Holding Register, RHR. Receive data is removed from the ST16C450 and receive by reading the RHR register. The receive section provides a mechanism to prevent false starts. On the falling edge of a start or false start bit, an internal receiver counter starts counting clocks at 16x clock rate. After 7 1/2 clocks the start bit time should be shifted to 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. Receiver status codes will be posted in the LSR. Interrupt Enable Register (IER) The Interrupt Enable Register (IER) masks the interrupts from receiver ready, transmitter empty, line status and modem status registers. These interrupts would normally be seen on the ST16C450 INT output pin.
IER BIT-2: Logic 0 = Disable the receiver line status interrupt. (normal default condition) Logic 1 = Enable the receiver line status interrupt. IER BIT-3: Logic 0 = Disable the modem status register interrupt. (normal default condition) Logic 1 = Enable the modem status register interrupt. IER BIT 4-7: Not used and set to “0”.
Interrupt Status Register (ISR) The ST16C450 provides four levels of prioritized interrupts to minimize external software interaction. The Interrupt Status Register (ISR) provides the user with four interrupt status bits. Performing a read cycle on the ISR will provide the user with the highest pending interrupt level to be serviced. No other interrupts are acknowledged until the pending interrupt is serviced. Whenever the interrupt status register is read, the interrupt status is cleared. However it should be noted that only the current pending interrupt is cleared by the read. A lower level interrupt may be seen after rereading the interrupt status bits. The Interrupt Source Table 5 (below) shows the data values (bit 0-3) for the four prioritized interrupt levels and the interrupt sources associated with each of these interrupt levels:
IER BIT-0: Logic 0 = Disable the receiver ready interrupt. (normal default condition) Logic 1 = Enable the receiver ready interrupt. IER BIT-1: Logic 0 = Disable the transmitter empty interrupt. (normal default condition) Logic 1 = Enable the transmitter empty interrupt.

LCR BIT-3: Parity or no parity can be selected via this bit. Logic 0 = No parity (normal default condition) Logic 1 = A parity bit is generated during the transmission, receiver checks the data and parity for transmission errors. LCR BIT-4: 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 data. The receiver must be programmed to check the same format. (normal default condition) Logic 1 = EVEN Parity is generated by forcing an even the number of logic 1’s in the transmitted. The receiver must be programmed to check the same format. LCR BIT-5: If the parity bit is enabled, LCR BIT-5 selects the forced parity format.

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.
MCR BIT-1: Logic 0 = Force -RTS output to a logic 1. (normal default condition) Logic 1 = Force -RTS output to a logic 0. MCR BIT-2: Logic 0 = Set -OP1 output to a logic 1. (normal default condition) Logic 1 = Set -OP1 output to a logic 0. MCR BIT-3: Logic 0 = Set -OP2 output to a logic 1. (normal default condition) Logic 1 = Set -OP2 output to a logic 0. MCR BIT-4: Logic 0 = Disable loop-back mode. (normal default condition) Logic 1 = Enable local loop-back mode (diagnostics). MCR BIT 5-7: Not used and set to “0”.
Line Status Register (LSR) This register provides the status of data transfers between. the ST16C450 and the CPU.
LCR Bit-5 X 0 0 1 1
LCR Bit-4 X 0 1 0 1
LCR Bit-3 0 1 1 1 1
Parity selection
No parity Odd parity Even parity Force parity”1” Forced parity “0”
LCR BIT-6: When enabled the Break control bit causes a break condition to be transmitted (the TX output is forced to a logic 0 state). This condition exists until disabled by setting LCR bit-6 to a logic 0. Logic 0 = No TX break condition. (normal default condition) Logic 1 = Forces the transmitter output (TX) to a logic 0 for alerting the remote receiver to a line break condition. LCR BIT-7: The internal baud rate counter latch and Enhance Feature mode enable. Logic 0 = Divisor latch disabled. (normal default condition) Logic 1 = Divisor latch and enhanced feature register enabled.
Modem Control Register (MCR) This register controls the interface with the modem or a peripheral device.
LSR BIT-0: Logic 0 = No data in receive holding register. (normal default condition) Logic 1 = Data has been received and is saved in the receive holding register. LSR BIT-1: Logic 0 = No overrun error. (normal default condition) Logic 1 = Overrun error. A data overrun error occurred in the receive shift register. This happens when additional data arrives while the RHR is full. In this case the previous data in the shift register is overwritten. Note that under this condition the data byte in the receive shift register is not transfer into the RHR, therefore the data in the RHR is not corrupted by the error. LSR BIT-2: Logic 0 = No parity error (normal default condition) Logic 1 = Parity error. The receive character does not have correct parity information and is suspect.
MCR BIT-0: Logic 0 = Force -DTR output to a logic 1. (normal default condition) Logic 1 = Force -DTR output to a logic 0. Rev. 4.20

LSR BIT-3: Logic 0 = No framing error (normal default condition). Logic 1 = Framing error. The receive character did not have a valid stop bit(s). LSR BIT-4: Logic 0 = No break condition (normal default condition) Logic 1 = The receiver received a break signal. LSR BIT-5: This bit indicates that the ST16C450 is ready to accept new characters for transmission. This bit causes the ST16C450 to issue an interrupt to the CPU when the transmit holding register is empty and the interrupt enable is set.
Logic 0 = Transmit holding register is not empty. (normal default condition) Logic 1 = Transmit holding register is empty. When this bit is a logic 1, the CPU can load a new characters into the Transmit Holding Register for transmission.
MSR BIT-1: Logic 0 = No -DSR Change (normal default condition) Logic 1 = The -DSR input to the ST16C450 has changed state since the last time it was read. A modem Status Interrupt will be generated.
MSR BIT-2: Logic 0 = No -RI Change (normal default condition) Logic 1 = The -RI input to the ST16C450 has changed from a logic 0 to a logic 1. A modem Status Interrupt will be generated.
MSR BIT-3: Logic 0 = No -CD Change (normal default condition) Logic 1 = Indicates that the -CD input to the has changed state since the last time it was read. A modem Status Interrupt will be generated. MSR BIT-4: CTS (active high, logical 1). Normally this bit is the compliment of the -CTS input. In the loop-back mode, this bit is equivalent to the RTS bit in the MCR register. MSR BIT-5: DSR (active high, logical 1). Normally this bit is the compliment of the -DSR input. In the loop-back mode, this bit is equivalent to the DTR bit in the MCR register. MSR BIT-6: RI (active high, logical 1). Normally this bit is the compliment of the -RI input. In the loop-back mode this bit is equivalent to the OP1 bit in the MCR register. MSR BIT-7: CD (active high, logical 1). Normally this bit is the compliment of the -CD input. In the loop-back mode this bit is equivalent to the OP2 bit in the MCR register.
LSR BIT-6: Logic 0 = Transmitter holding and shift registers are full. Logic 1 = Transmitter holding and shift registers are empty. LSR BIT-7: Not used and set to “0”.
Modem Status Register (MSR) This register provides the current state of the control interface signals from the modem, or other peripheral device that the ST16C450 is connected to. Four bits of this register are used to indicate the changed information. These bits are set to a logic 1 whenever a control input from the modem changes state. These bits are set to a logic 0 whenever the CPU reads this register.
MSR BIT-0: Logic 0 = No -CTS Change (normal default condition) Logic 1 = The -CTS input to the ST16C450 has changed state since the last time it was read. A modem Status Interrupt will be generated. Rev. 4.20
