register stack called the receive data FIFO. The Da-
ta Register is not affected by a channel or hardware
reset.
TIME CONSTANT REGISTER (TCREG)
This register contains the time constant used by the
down counter in the baud rate generator. The time
constant may be changed at any time, but the new
value does not take effect until the next time the time
constant is loaded into the down counter. It is re-
commended that the BRG be disabled before wri-
ting to this register, as no attempt was made to
synchronize the loading of a new time constant with
the clock used to drive the BRG. This register is re-
set to ”00H” by a channel or hardware reset.
BAUD RATE GENERATOR CONTROL RE-
GISTER (BRGCTL)
This register contains the control bits used to pro-
gram the baud rate generator and to select the BRG
output mode. This register is reset to ”00H” by a
channel or hardware reset.
D7, D6, D5, D4 : Not Used (read as zeros)
D3 : Receiver Clock, Internal/External
This bit determines the direction of the RxC pin.
When this bit is set to a one, the RxC pin is the output
of the baud rate generator. If this bit is a zero, the
RxC pin is an input, and an external source must
supply the receiver clock. The receiver clock is al-
ways the signal on the RxC pin, except in Loop
Mode, when the transmitter clock is connected inter-
nally to the receiver clock.
D2 : Transmitter Clock, Internal/External
This bit determines the direction of the TxC pin.
When this bit is set to a one, the TxC pin is the output
of the baud rate generator. If this bit is a zero, the

TxC pin is an input, and an external source must

ways the signal on the TxC pin.
D1 : Divide By 64/4
This bit specifies the minimum BRG input clock cy-
cles to output clock cycle. This minimum occurs
when the Time Constant Register is loaded with a
”01H” value. When this bit is set to a one, 64 input
clocks are required for every output clock. When this
bit is a zero, four input clocks are required for every
output clock.
D0 : Baud Rate Generator Enable
This bit controls the operation of the baud rate gene-
rator. When this bit is set to a one, the BRG will start
counting down from the value left in the down coun-
ter when this bit was last reset to zero. If the Time
Constant Register is loaded while this bit is reset, the
new time constant value is loaded immediately into
the down counter. The baud rate generator is disa-
bled from counting when this bit is reset.
INTERRUPT VECTOR REGISTER
(VECTRG)
This register is used to hold a vector that is passed
to the CPU during an interrupt acknowledge cycle.
This register can also be accessed through a
read/write cycle. If the Status Affects Vector bit in the
Interrupt Control Register is disabled, the value pro-
grammed into the Vector Register will be passed to
the CPU during an interrupt acknowledge cycle or
a read cycle. If the Status Affects Vector bit in either
channel is enabled, the lower three bits of this regis-
ter are modified, according to the table listed in the
Interrupt Control Register description. With Status
Affects Vector on, and no interrupt pending in the
SIO, the lower three bits will be read as 011. Only
