Product data
7.3 FIFO control register (FCR)
This is a write-only register that is used for enabling the FIFOs, clearing the FIFOs,
setting transmitter and receiver trigger levels, and selecting the type of DMA
signalling.

Description
RCVR trigger. Sets the trigger level for the RX FIFO.
TX trigger. Sets the trigger level for the TX FIFO.
FCR[5-4] can only be modified and enabled when EFR[4] is set. This is
because the transmit trigger level is regarded as an enhanced function.
DMA mode select.
Reset TX FIFO.
Reset RX FIFO.
FIFO enable.

Logic 0 = Set DMA mode ‘0’
Logic 1 = Set DMA mode ‘1’
Logic 0 = No FIFO transmit reset (normal default condition).
Logic 1 = Clears the contents of the transmit FIFO and resets the
FIFO counter logic (the transmit shift register is not cleared or
altered). This bit will return to a logic 0 after clearing the FIFO.
Logic 0 = No FIFO receive reset (normal default condition).
Logic 1 = Clears the contents of the receive FIFO and resets the FIFO
counter logic (the receive shift register is not cleared or altered). This
bit will return to a logic 0 after clearing the FIFO.
Logic 0 = Disable the transmit and receive FIFO (normal default
condition).
Logic 1 = Enable the transmit and receive FIFO.
