6.0 Register Set
Bit
6.2 TRANSMIT HOLDING REGISTER (THR)
This register holds the byte-wide transmit data (THR). This is
a write-only register.
6.3 INTERRUPT ENABLE REGISTER (IER)
This register enables eight types of interrupts for the corre-
sponding serial channel. Each interrupt source can individu-
ally activate the interrupt (INTR) output signal. Setting the
bits of the IER to a logic 1 unmasks the selected interrupt(s).
Similarly, the interrupt can be masked off by resetting bits 0
through 7 of the Interrupt Enable Register (IER). If not de-

CTS Input Interrupt Enable
1 = Enable the CTS to generate interrupt at low to high transition. Requires EFR 0x2.4 = 1.
0 = Disable the CTS interrupt (default).
RTS Output Interrupt Enable
1 = Enable the RTS to generate interrupt at low to high transition. Requires EFR 0x2.4 = 1.
0 = Disable the RTS interrupt (default).
Xoff Input Interrupt Enable
1 = Enable the software flow control character Xoff to generate interrupt. Requires EFR
0x2.4 = 1.
0 = Disable the Xoff interrupt (default).
Sleep Mode Enable
1 = Enable the Sleep Mode for the respective channel. Requires EFR 0x2.4 = 1.
0 = Disable Sleep Mode (default).
Modem Status Interrupt Enable
1 = Enable the Modem Status Register interrupt.
0 = Disable the Modem Status Register interrupt (default).
Receive Line Status Interrupt Enable
An interrupt can be generated when any of the LSR bits 0x5.4:1=1. LSR 0x5.1 generates
an interrupt as soon as an overflow frame is received. LSR 0x5.4:2 generate an interrupt
when there is read error from FIFO.
1 = Enable the receive line status interrupt.
0 = Disable the receive line status interrupt (default).
Tx Holding Reg Empty Interrupt Enable
1 = Enable the interrupt when Tx Holding Register is empty.
0 = Disable the Tx Holding Register from generating interrupt (default).

sired to be used, masking an interrupt source prevents it
from going active in the IIR and activating the INTR output
signal. While interrupt sources are masked off, all system
functions including the Line Status and MODEM Status still
operate in their normal manner. Table 5 shows the contents
of the IER.
