REV. 1.2.0
The XR17C152 UART has three different sets of registers as shown in
configuration space registers are for plug-and-play auto-configuration when connecting the device to the PCI
bus. This auto-configuration feature makes installation very easy into a PCI system and it is part of the PCI
local bus specification. The second register set is the device configuration registers that are accessible directly
from the PCI bus for programming general operating conditions of the device and monitoring the status of
various functions. These registers are mapped into 1K of the PCI bus memory address space. These functions
include both channel UART’s interrupt control and status, 16-bit general purpose timer control and status,
multipurpose inputs/outputs control and status, sleep mode, soft-reset, and device identification and revision.
And lastly, each UART channel has its own set of 5G internal UART configuration registers for its own
operation control and status reporting. Both sets of channel registers are embedded inside the device
configuration registers space, which provides faster access. The following paragraphs describe all 3 sets of
registers in detail.
