XR16C2550
2.97V TO 5.5V DUART WITH 16-BYTE FIFO
The UART provides multiple 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 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,
associated with each of these interrupt levels.

ISR[0]: Interrupt Status

ISR[3:1]: Interrupt Status
These bits indicate the source for a pending interrupt at interrupt priority levels (See
ISR[5:4]: Reserved
ISR[7:6]: FIFO Enable Status
These bits are set to a logic 0 when the FIFOs are disabled. They are set to a logic 1 when the FIFOs are
enabled.

LSR is by any of the LSR bits 1, 2, 3 and 4.
RXRDY is by RX trigger level.
RXRDY Time-out is by a 4-char plus 12 bits delay timer.
TXRDY is by TX FIFO empty.
MSR is by any of the MSR bits 0, 1, 2 and 3.
LSR interrupt is cleared by a read to the LSR register.
RXRDY interrupt is cleared by reading data until FIFO falls below the trigger level.
RXRDY Time-out interrupt is cleared by reading RHR.
TXRDY interrupt is cleared by a read to the ISR register or writing to THR.
MSR interrupt is cleared by a read to the MSR register.
Logic 0 = An interrupt is pending and the ISR contents may be used as a pointer to the appropriate interrupt
service routine.
Logic 1 = No interrupt pending (default).
