Product data
7.2.1 IER versus Receive FIFO interrupt mode operation
7.2.2 IER versus Receive/Transmit FIFO polled mode operation
Table 9:
When the receive FIFO (FCR[0] = logic 1), and receive interrupts (IER[0] = logic 1)
are enabled, the receive interrupts and register status will reflect the following:
When FCR[0] = logic 1, resetting IER[0:3] enables the SC16C750B 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).

The receive data available interrupts are issued to the external CPU when the
FIFO has reached the programmed trigger level. It will be cleared when the FIFO
drops below the programmed trigger level.
FIFO status will also be reflected in the user accessible 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.
The data ready bit (LSR[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.
LSR[0] will be a logic 1 as long as there is one byte in the receive FIFO.
LSR[1:4] will provide the type of errors encountered, if any.
LSR[5] will indicate when the transmit FIFO is empty.
LSR[6] will indicate when both the transmit FIFO and transmit shift register are
empty.
LSR[7] will indicate any FIFO data errors.

Interrupt Enable Register bits description
Rev. 03 — 13 December 2004
Description
Transmit Holding Register interrupt. This interrupt will be issued whenever
the THR is empty, and is associated with LSR[1].
Receive Holding Register interrupt. This interrupt will be issued when the
FIFO has reached the programmed trigger level, or is cleared when the
FIFO drops below the trigger level in the FIFO mode of operation.
Logic 0 = Disable the transmitter empty interrupt (normal default
condition).
Logic 1 = Enable the transmitter empty interrupt.
Logic 0 = Disable the receiver ready interrupt (normal default condition).
Logic 1 = Enable the receiver ready interrupt.
