I2C/SPI UART with 128-byte FIFO and Integrated Level Shifters
July 5, 2021
Rev. 1.0.1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The XR20M1280 is a single-channel I2C/SPI
Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter
(UART) with integrated level shifters and 128 bytes of
transmit and receive FIFOs.
For flexibility in a mixed voltage environment, the
XR20M1280 has 4 VCC pins. There is a VCC pin for
the core, a VCC pin for the UART signals, a VCC pin
for the CPU interface signals and a VCC pin for the
GPIO signals. The VCC pins for the UART, GPIO and
I2C/SPI interface signals allow for the XR20M1280 to
interface with devices operating at different voltage
levels eliminating the need for external voltage level
shifters. The VCC pin for the core voltage helps lower
the overall power consumption of applications that
use slower data rates.

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 subaddress 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.

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.

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 bit0 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.

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.

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 XR20M1280 is software compatible with previous
generation of UARTs.
1.4
5-Volt Tolerant Inputs
The XR20M1280 can accept and withstand 5V signals on the inputs without any damage. But note that if the
supply voltage for the XR20M1280 is at the lower end of the supply voltage range (ie. 1.8V), its VOH may not
be high enough to meet the requirements of the VIH of a CPU or a serial transceiver that is operating at 5V.
Caution: XTAL1 is not 5 volt tolerant.
1.5
Internal Registers
The XR20M1280 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

Beyond the general 16C550 features and capabilities, the XR20M1280 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 26.

Crystal Oscillator or External Clock Input
The XR20M1280 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 14.

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

Programmable Baud Rate Generator with Fractional Divisor
The XR20M1280 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 & 255
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 & 255 = 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 43.

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.

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.

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.

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
XR20M1280 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.

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.

The local UART (UARTA) starts data transfer by asserting RTSA# (1). 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 continues 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 transmit 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.

Auto Xon/Xoff (Software) Flow Control
When software flow control is enabled (See Table 20), the XR20M1280 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 XR20M1280 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
XR20M1280 will monitor the receive data stream for a match to the Xon-1,2 character. If a match is found, the
XR20M1280 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 XR20M1280 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 XR20M1280
automatically sends an Xoff message (when enabled) via the serial TX output to the remote modem. The
XR20M1280 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 XR20M1280 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.

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 XR20M1280 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.

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
XR20M1280 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 39).
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]: RS485 Turn-Around Delay / Auto RTS Hysteresis” on page 39). 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.

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’).

Infrared Mode
The XR20M1280 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.

Sleep Mode with Auto Wake-Up
The XR20M1280 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 XR20M1280 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 XR20M1280 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 XR20M1280 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 XR20M1280 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 XR20M1280 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 XR20M1280 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 XR20M1280 has a new pin called the SLEEP pin that can be used instead of setting IER bit-4=1. The
XR20M1280 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 XR20M1280 will only wake up after the SLEEP pin has been de-asserted.
1.20.3
Wake-up Interrupt
The XR20M1280 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 33.

Internal Loopback
The XR20M1280 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. The TX pin is held HIGH or mark condition while RTS# and DTR# are de-asserted, and CTS#,
DSR# CD# and RI# inputs are ignored. 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.

INTERNAL REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS
3.1
Receive Holding Register (RHR) - Read- Only
See “Section 1.10, Receiver” on page 17.
3.2
Transmit Holding Register (THR) - Write-Only
See “Section 1.9, Transmitter” on page 16.
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 nonFIFO 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.

XR20M1280
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 42.
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.

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 24.
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.

Parity or no parity can be selected via this bit. 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

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.

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 RI#, CD#, DTR#, DSR#.
Logic 1 = GPIO[3:0] behave as GPIO pins.
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 XR20M1280 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.

XR20M1280
I2C/SPI UART with 128-byte FIFO and Integrated Level Shifters
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 XR20M1280 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.

XR20M1280
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.

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).

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.

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 22.
Logic 0 = Value of 9th bit will be ’0’ (default).

operating in at Scratchpad Register location, and the FC can be accessed through SPR (during a read) when
FCTR[6] = 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.

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.

Baud Rate Generator Registers (DLL, DLM and DLD) - Read/Write
These registers make-up the value of the baud rate divisor. The XR20M1280 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 XR20M1280 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 “Section 1.8, Programmable
Baud Rate Generator with Fractional Divisor” on page 14.
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.

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].

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 can be accessed through SPR (during a read) when FCTR[6] = 1. This register is also accessible
when LCR = 0xBF. MaxLinear recommends 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’.

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.

TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE SOFTWARE FLOW CONTROL
EFR[4]: Enhanced Function Bits Enable
Enhanced function control bit. 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 57, 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.

EFR[6]: Auto RTS Flow Control Enable
RTS# output may be used for hardware flow control by setting EFR bit-6 to logic 1. 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. RTS# pin will function as a general purpose output when hardware flow control is
disabled.
Logic 0 = Automatic RTS flow control is disabled (default).
Logic 1 = Enable Automatic RTS flow control.
EFR[7]: Auto CTS Flow Control Enable
Automatic CTS Flow Control.
Logic 0 = Automatic CTS flow control is disabled (default).
Logic 1 = Enable Automatic CTS flow control. Data transmission stops when CTS# input de-asserts to logic
1. Data transmission resumes when CTS# returns to a logic 0.
