PRELIMINARY
EFR[4]: Enhanced Function Bits Enable
Enhanced function control bit. This bit enables the
functions in IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 4-5,
and MCR bits 5-7 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 fea-
• Logic 1 = Enables the enhanced functions. When

tures. IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR bits 4-5, and
MCR bits 5-7 are saved to retain the user settings.
After a reset, the IER bits 4-7, ISR bits 4-5, FCR
bits 4-5, and MCR bits 5-7 are set to a logic 0 to be
compatible with ST16C554 mode. (default).
this bit is set to a logic 1 all enhanced features are
enabled.
(default)
UART compares each incoming receive character
with data in Xoff-2 register. If a match exists, the
received 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 for the
receive character. If flow control is set for compar-

EFR[6]: AUTO RTS OR DTR FLOW CONTROL
ENABLE
RTS#/DTR# output may be used for hardware flow
control by setting EFR bit-6 to logic 1. When Auto
RTS/DTR is selected, an interrupt will be generated
when the receive FIFO is filled to the programmed
trigger level and RTS/DTR# will de-assert to a logic 1
at the next upper trigger or selected hysteresis level.
RTS/DTR# will return to a logic 0 when FIFO data
falls below the next lower trigger or selected hystere-
sis level (see FCTR bits 4-7). The RTS# or DTR# out-
put must be asserted (logic 0) before the auto RTS/
DTR can take effect. The selection for RTS# or DTR#
is through MCR bit-2. RTS/DTR# pin will function as a
general purpose output when hardware flow control is
disabled.
• Logic 0 = Automatic RTS/DTR flow control is dis-
• Logic 1 = Enable Automatic RTS/DTR flow control.

ing 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 interupt and a special character interrupt.
