 SC16C550B
5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V UART with 16-byte FIFOs
Rev. 05 -- 1 October 2008 Product data sheet
1. General description
The SC16C550B is a Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) used for serial data communications. Its principal function is to convert parallel data into serial data, and vice versa. The UART can handle serial data rates up to 3 Mbit/s. The SC16C550B is pin compatible with the ST16C550, TL16C550 and PC16C550, and it will power-up to be functionally equivalent to the 16C450. The SC16C550B also provides DMA mode data transfers through FIFO trigger levels and the TXRDY and RXRDY signals (TXRDY and RXRDY are not supported in the HVQFN32 package). On-board status registers provide the user with error indications, operational status, and modem interface control. System interrupts may be tailored to meet user requirements. An internal loopback capability allows on-board diagnostics. The SC16C550B operates at 5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V, and the Industrial temperature range, and is available in plastic HVQFN32, DIP40, PLCC44 and LQFP48 packages.

A2 to A0 are used during read and write operations to select the UART register to read from or write to. Refer to Table 3 for register addresses and refer to AS description. Address strobe. When AS is active (LOW), A0, A1, and A2 and CS0, CS1, and CS2 drive the internal select logic directly; when AS is HIGH, the register select and chip select signals are held at the logic levels they were in when the LOW-to-HIGH transition of AS occurred. Baud out. BAUDOUT is a 16x clock signal for the transmitter section of the UART. The clock rate is established by the reference oscillator frequency divided by a divisor specified in the baud generator divisor latches. BAUDOUT may also be used for the receiver section by tying this output to RCLK. In HVQFN32 package BAUDOUT and RCLK are bonded internally. Chip select. When CS0 and CS1 are HIGH and CS2 is LOW, these three inputs select the UART. When any of these inputs are inactive, the UART remains inactive (refer to AS description). Clear to send. CTS is a modem status signal. Its condition can be checked by reading bit 4 (CTS) of the Modem Status Register. Bit 0 (CTS) of the Modem Status Register indicates that CTS has changed states since the last read from the Modem Status Register. If the modem status interrupt is enabled when CTS changes levels and the auto-CTS mode is not enabled, an interrupt is generated. This pin has no effect on the UART's transmit or receive operation. Data bus. Eight data lines with 3-state outputs provide a bidirectional path for data, control and status information between the UART and the CPU. Data carrier detect. DCD is a modem status signal. Its condition can be checked by reading bit 7 (DCD) of the Modem Status Register. Bit 3 (DCD) of the Modem Status Register indicates that DCD has changed states since the last read from the Modem Status Register. If the modem status interrupt is enabled when DCD changes levels, an interrupt is generated. Driver disable. DDIS is active (LOW) when the CPU is reading data. When inactive (HIGH), DDIS can disable an external transceiver. Type Description

Bit 1 (DSR) of the Modem Status Register indicates DSR has changed levels since the last read from the Modem Status Register. If the modem status interrupt is enabled when DSR changes levels, an interrupt is generated. Data terminal ready. When active (LOW), DTR informs a modem or data set that the UART is ready to establish communication. DTR is placed in the active level by setting the DTR bit of the Modem Control Register. DTR is placed in the inactive level either as a result of a Master Reset, during loopback mode operation, or clearing the DTR bit. Interrupt. When active (HIGH), INT informs the CPU that the UART has an interrupt to be serviced. Four conditions that cause an interrupt to be issued are: a receiver error, received data that is available or timed out (FIFO mode only), an empty Transmitter Holding Register or an enabled modem status interrupt.

If the modem status interrupt is enabled when this transition occurs, an interrupt is generated. Request to send. When active, RTS informs the modem or data set that the UART is ready to receive data. RTS is set to the active level by setting the RTS Modem Control Register bit and is set to the inactive (HIGH) level either as a result of a Master Reset or during loopback mode operations or by clearing bit 1 (RTS) of the MCR. This pin has no effect on the UART's transmit or receive operation. Receiver ready. Receiver Direct Memory Access (DMA) signaling is available with RXRDY. When operating in the FIFO mode, one of two types of DMA signaling can be selected using the FIFO Control Register bit 3 (FCR[3]). When operating in the 16C450 mode, only DMA mode 0 is allowed. Mode 0 supports single-transfer DMA in which a transfer is made between CPU bus cycles. Mode 1 supports multi-transfer DMA in which multiple transfers are made continuously until the receiver FIFO has been emptied. In DMA mode 0 (FCR[0] = 0 or FCR[0] = 1, FCR[3] = 0), when there is at least one character in the receiver FIFO or Receiver Holding Register, RXRDY is active (LOW). When RXRDY has been active but there are no characters in the FIFO or holding register, RXRDY goes inactive (HIGH). In DMA mode 1 (FCR[0] = 1, FCR[3] = 1), when the trigger level or the time-out has been reached, RXRDY goes active (LOW); when it has been active but there are no more characters in the FIFO or holding register, it goes inactive (HIGH). This function does not exist in the HVQFN32 package. Serial data input. RX is serial data input from a connected communications device. Serial data output.

HVQFN32 package die supply ground is connected to both the VSS pin and the exposed center pad. The VSS pin must be connected to supply ground for proper device operation. For enhanced thermal, electrical, and board-level performance, the exposed pad needs to be soldered to the board using a corresponding thermal pad on the board, and for proper heat conduction through the board thermal vias need to be incorporated in the Printed-Circuit Board (PCB) in the thermal pad region. This pin has a pull-up resistor. In Sleep mode, XTAL2 is left floating.

6. Functional description
The SC16C550B provides serial asynchronous receive data synchronization, parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel data conversions for both the transmitter and receiver sections. These functions are necessary for converting the serial data stream into parallel data that is required with digital data systems. Synchronization for the serial data stream is accomplished by adding start and stop bits to the transmit data to form a data character (character orientated protocol). Data integrity is insured by attaching a parity bit to the data character. The parity bit is checked by the receiver for any transmission bit errors. The SC16C550B is fabricated with an advanced CMOS process to achieve low drain power and high speed requirements. The SC16C550B is an upward solution that provides 16 bytes of transmit and receive FIFO memory, instead of none in the 16C450. The SC16C550B is designed to work with high speed modems and shared network environments that require fast data processing time. Increased performance is realized in the SC16C550B by the larger transmit and receive FIFOs. This allows the external processor to handle more networking tasks within a given time. In addition, the four selectable levels of FIFO trigger interrupt are provided for maximum data throughput performance, especially when operating in a multi-channel environment. The combination of the above greatly reduces the bandwidth requirement of the external controlling CPU, increases performance, and reduces power consumption. The SC16C550B is capable of operation up to 3 Mbit/s with a 48 MHz external clock input (at 5 V).

6.1 Internal registers
The SC16C550B provides 12 internal registers for monitoring and control. These registers are shown in Table 3. These registers function as data holding registers (THR/RHR), interrupt status and control registers (IER/ISR), a FIFO Control Register (FCR), line status and control registers (LCR/LSR), modem status and control registers (MCR/MSR), programmable data rate (clock) control registers (DLL/DLM), and a user accessible scratchpad register (SPR). Register functions are more fully described in the following paragraphs.

These registers are accessible only when LCR[7] is a logic 0. These registers are accessible only when LCR[7] is a logic 1.
6.2 FIFO operation
The 16-byte transmit and receive data FIFOs are enabled by the FIFO Control Register bit 0 (FCR[0]). With 16C550 devices, the user can set the receive trigger level, but not the transmit trigger level. The receiver FIFO section includes a time-out function to ensure data is delivered to the external CPU. An interrupt is generated whenever the Receive Holding Register (RHR) has not been read following the loading of a character or the receive trigger level has not been reached.

5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V UART with 16-byte FIFOs
6.3 Autoflow control
Autoflow control is comprised of auto-CTS and auto-RTS (see Figure 6). With auto-CTS, the CTS input must be active before the transmitter FIFO can emit data. With auto-RTS, RTS becomes active when the receiver needs more data and notifies the sending serial device. When RTS is connected to CTS, data transmission does not occur unless the receiver FIFO has space for the data; thus, overrun errors are eliminated using UART 1 and UART 2 from a SC16C550B with the autoflow control enabled. If not, overrun errors occur when the transmit data rate exceeds the receiver FIFO read latency.

Autoflow control (auto-RTS and auto-CTS) example
6.3.1 Auto-RTS
Auto-RTS data flow control originates in the receiver timing and control block (refer to Figure 1 "Block diagram of SC16C550B") and is linked to the programmed receiver FIFO trigger level (see Figure 6). When the receiver FIFO level reaches a trigger level of 1, 4, or 8 (see Figure 8), RTS is de-asserted. With trigger levels of 1, 4, and 8, the sending UART may send an additional byte after the trigger level is reached (assuming the sending UART has another byte to send) because it may not recognize the de-assertion of RTS until after it has begun sending the additional byte. RTS is automatically reasserted once the RX FIFO is emptied by reading the receiver buffer register. When the trigger level is 14 (see Figure 9), RTS is de-asserted after the first data bit of the 16th character is present on the RX line. RTS is reasserted when the RX FIFO has at least one available byte space.
6.3.2 Auto-CTS
The transmitter circuitry checks CTS before sending the next data byte (see Figure 6). When CTS is active, it sends the next byte. To stop the transmitter from sending the following byte, CTS must be released before the middle of the last stop bit that is currently being sent (see Figure 7). The auto-CTS function reduces interrupts to the host system. When flow control is enabled, CTS level changes do not trigger host interrupts because the device automatically controls its own transmitter. Without auto-CTS, the transmitter sends any data present in the transmit FIFO and a receiver overrun error may result.

(1) When CTS is LOW, the transmitter keeps sending serial data out. (2) If CTS goes HIGH before the middle of the last stop bit of the current byte, the transmitter finishes sending the current byte, but it does not send the next byte. (3) When CTS goes from HIGH to LOW, the transmitter begins sending data again.

(1) RTS is de-asserted when the receiver receives the first data bit of the sixteenth byte. The receive FIFO is full after finishing the sixteenth byte. (2) RTS is asserted again when there is at least one byte of space available and no incoming byte is in processing, or there is more than one byte of space available. (3) When the receive FIFO is full, the first receive buffer register read re-asserts RTS.

6.4 Hardware/software and time-out interrupts
Following a reset, the transmitter interrupt is enabled, the SC16C550B will issue an interrupt to indicate that the Transmit Holding Register is empty. This interrupt must be serviced prior to continuing operations. The ISR register provides the current singular highest priority interrupt only. Only after servicing the higher pending interrupt will the lower priority be reflected in the status register. Servicing the interrupt without investigating further interrupt conditions can result in data errors. When two interrupt conditions have the same priority, it is important to service these interrupts correctly. Receive Data Ready and Receive Time-Out have the same interrupt priority (when enabled by IER[0]). The receiver issues an interrupt after the number of characters have reached the programmed trigger level. In this case, the SC16C550B FIFO may hold more characters than the programmed trigger level. Following the removal of a data byte, the user should re-check LSR[0] for additional characters. A Receive Time-Out will not occur if the receive FIFO is empty. The time-out counter is reset at the center of each stop bit received or each time the Receive Holding Register (RHR) is read. The actual time-out value is 4 character time, including data information length, start bit, parity bit, and the size of stop bit, that is, 1x, 1.5x, or 2x bit times.

6.5 Programmable baud rate generator
The SC16C550B supports high speed modem technologies that have increased input data rates by employing data compression schemes. For example, a 33.6 kbit/s modem that employs data compression may require a 115.2 kbit/s input data rate. A 128.0 kbit/s ISDN modem that supports data compression may need an input data rate of 460.8 kbit/s. The SC16C550B can support a standard data rate of 921.6 kbit/s. A single baud rate generator is provided for the transmitter and receiver, allowing independent TX/RX channel control. The programmable baud rate generator is capable of accepting an input clock up to 48 MHz, as required for supporting a 3 Mbit/s data rate. The SC16C550B can be configured for internal or external clock operation. For internal clock oscillator operation, an industry standard microprocessor crystal is connected externally between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins (see Figure 10). Alternatively, an external clock can be connected to the XTAL1 pin to clock the internal baud rate generator for standard or custom rates (see Table 6).

The generator divides the input 16x clock by any divisor from 1 to (216 - 1). The SC16C550B divides the basic crystal or external clock by 16. The frequency of the BAUDOUT output pin is exactly 16x (16 times) the selected baud rate (BAUDOUT = 16 x baud rate). Customized baud rates can be achieved by selecting the proper divisor values for the MSB and LSB sections of the baud rate generator. Programming the baud rate generator registers DLM (MSB) and DLL (LSB) provides a user capability for selecting the desired final baud rate. The examples in Table 6 shows selectable baud rates when using a 1.8432 MHz crystal. For custom baud rates, the divisor value can be calculated using the following equation: XTAL1 clock frequency divisor ( in decimal ) = --------------------------------------------------------------serial data rate x 16 (1)

6.6 DMA operation
The SC16C550B FIFO trigger level provides additional flexibility to the user for block mode operation. The user can optionally operate the transmit and receive FIFOs in the DMA mode (FCR[3]). The DMA mode affects the state of the RXRDY and TXRDY output pins. Table 7 and Table 8 show this. Remark: DMA operation is not supported in the HVQFN32 package.

6.7 Loopback mode
The internal loopback capability allows on-board diagnostics. In the loopback mode, the normal modem interface pins are disconnected and reconfigured for loopback internally. MCR[3:0] register bits are used for controlling loopback diagnostic testing. In the loopback mode, OUT1 (bit 2) and OUT2 (bit 3) in the MCR register control the modem RI and DCD inputs, respectively. MCR signals DTR and RTS (bits 0:1) are used to control the modem CTS and DSR inputs, respectively. The transmitter output (TX) and the receiver input (RX) are disconnected from their associated interface pins, and instead are connected together internally (see Figure 11). The inputs CTS, DSR, DCD, and RI are disconnected from their normal modem control input pins, and instead are connected internally to DTR, RTS, OUT1 and OUT2. Loopback test data is entered into the transmit holding register via the user data bus interface, D0 to D7. The transmit UART serializes the data and passes the serial data to the receive UART via the internal loopback connection. The receive UART converts the serial data back into parallel data that is then made available at the user data interface D0 to D7. The user optionally compares the received data to the initial transmitted data for verifying error-free operation of the UART TX/RX circuits. In this mode, the receiver and transmitter interrupts are fully operational. The Modem Control Interrupts are also operational. However, the interrupts can only be read using the lower four bits of the Modem Status Register (MSR[3:0]) instead of the four Modem Status Register bits 7:4. The interrupts are still controlled by the IER.

5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V UART with 16-byte FIFOs
7.1 Transmit Holding Register (THR) and Receive Holding Register (RHR)
The serial transmitter section consists of an 8-bit Transmit Holding Register (THR) and Transmit Shift Register (TSR). The status of the THR is provided in the Line Status Register (LSR). Writing to the THR transfers the contents of the data bus (D[7:0]) to the THR, providing that the THR or TSR is empty. The THR empty flag in the LSR register will be set to a logic 1 when the transmitter is empty or when data is transferred to the TSR. Note that a write operation can be performed when the THR empty flag is set (logic 0 = FIFO full; logic 1 = at least one FIFO location available). The serial receive section also contains an 8-bit Receive Holding Register (RHR). Receive data is removed from the SC16C550B and receive FIFO by reading the RHR register. The receive section provides a mechanism to prevent false starts. On the falling edge of a start or false start bit, an internal receiver counter starts counting clocks at the 16x clock rate. After 712 clocks, the start bit time should be shifted to the center of the start bit. At this time the start bit is sampled, and if it is still a logic 0 it is validated. Evaluating the start bit in this manner prevents the receiver from assembling a false character. Receiver status codes will be posted in the LSR.
7.2 Interrupt Enable Register (IER)
The Interrupt Enable Register (IER) masks the interrupts from receiver ready, transmitter empty, line status and modem status registers. These interrupts would normally be seen on the INT output pin.
Table 10. Bit 7:4 3 Interrupt Enable Register bits description Description not used Modem Status Interrupt. logic 0 = disable the modem status register interrupt (normal default condition) logic 1 = enable the modem status register interrupt 2 IER[2] Receive Line Status interrupt.

This interrupt will be issued whenever the THR is empty, and is associated with LSR[1]. logic 0 = disable the transmitter empty interrupt (normal default condition) logic 1 = enable the transmitter empty interrupt 0 IER[0] 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 receiver ready interrupt (normal default condition) logic 1 = enable the receiver ready interrupt

7.2.1 IER versus Receive FIFO interrupt mode operation
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:
* 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.
7.2.2 IER versus Receive/Transmit FIFO polled mode operation
When FCR[0] = logic 1, resetting IER[0:3] enables the SC16C550B 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).
* * * * *
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.
7.3 FIFO Control Register (FCR)
This register is used to enable the FIFOs, clear the FIFOs, set the receive FIFO trigger levels, and select the DMA mode.
7.3.1 DMA mode
(DMA mode does not exist in the HVQFN32 package; see Table 9.) 7.3.1.1 Mode 0 (FCR bit 3 = 0) Set and enable the interrupt for each single transmit or receive operation, and is similar to the 16C450 mode. Transmit Ready (TXRDY) will go to a logic 0 whenever an empty transmit space is available in the Transmit Holding Register (THR). Receive Ready (RXRDY) will go to a logic 0 whenever the Receive Holding Register (RHR) is loaded with a character. 7.3.1.2 Mode 1 (FCR bit 3 = 1) Set and enable the interrupt in a block mode operation. The transmit interrupt is set when the transmit FIFO is empty. The receive interrupt is set when the receive FIFO fills to the programmed trigger level. However, the FIFO continues to fill regardless of the programmed level until the FIFO is full. RXRDY remains a logic 0 as long as the FIFO fill level is above the programmed trigger level.

7.4 Interrupt Status Register (ISR)
The SC16C550B provides four levels of prioritized interrupts to minimize external software interaction. The Interrupt Status Register (ISR) provides the user with four interrupt status bits. Performing a read cycle on the ISR will provide the user with the highest pending interrupt level to be serviced. No other interrupts are acknowledged until the pending interrupt is serviced. Whenever the interrupt status register is read, the interrupt status is cleared. However, it should be noted that only the current pending interrupt is cleared by the read. A lower level interrupt may be seen after re-reading the interrupt status bits. Table 13 "Interrupt source" shows the data values (bits 3:0) for the four prioritized interrupt levels and the interrupt sources associated with each of these interrupt levels.

7.5 Line Control Register (LCR)
The Line Control Register is used to specify the asynchronous data communication format. The word length, the number of stop bits, and the parity are selected by writing the appropriate bits in this register.
Table 15. Bit 7 Line Control Register bits description Description Divisor latch enable. The internal baud rate counter latch and Enhance Feature mode enable. logic 0 = divisor latch disabled (normal default condition) logic 1 = divisor latch and enhanced feature register enabled 6 LCR[6] Set break. When enabled, the Break control bit causes a break condition to be transmitted (the TX output is forced to a logic 0 state). This condition exists until disabled by setting LCR[6] to a logic 0. logic 0 = no TX break condition (normal default condition) logic 1 = forces the transmitter output (TX) to a logic 0 for alerting the remote receiver to a line break condition 5 LCR[5] Set parity. If the parity bit is enabled, LCR[5] selects the forced parity format. Programs the parity conditions (see Table 16). logic 0 = parity is not forced (normal default condition) LCR[5] = logic 1 and LCR[4] = logic 0: parity bit is forced to a logical 1 for the transmit and receive data LCR[5] = logic 1 and LCR[4] = logic 1: parity bit is forced to a logical 0 for the transmit and receive data 4 LCR[4] Even parity. If the parity bit is enabled with LCR[3] set to a logic 1, LCR[4] selects the even or odd parity format. logic 0 = odd parity is generated by forcing an odd number of logic 1s in the transmitted data. The receiver must be programmed to check the same format (normal default condition). logic 1 = even parity is generated by forcing an even number of logic 1s in the transmitted data. The receiver must be programmed to check the same format. 3 LCR[3] Parity enable. Parity or no parity can be selected via this bit. logic 0 = no parity (normal default condition) logic 1 = a parity bit is generated during the transmission, receiver checks the data and parity for transmission errors 2 LCR[2] Stop bits. The length of stop bit is specified by this bit in conjunction with the programmed word length (see Table 17). logic 0 or cleared = default condition 1:0 LCR[1:0] Word length bits [1:0].

Internally the modem data and control pins are connected into a loopback data configuration (see Figure 11). In this mode, the receiver and transmitter interrupts remain fully operational. The Modem Control Interrupts are also operational, but the interrupts' sources are switched to the lower four bits of the Modem Control. Interrupts continue to be controlled by the IER register. logic 0 = disable loopback mode (normal default condition) logic 1 = enable local loopback mode (diagnostics) 3 MCR[3] OUT2. Used to control the modem DCD signal in the loopback mode. logic 0 = OUT2 is at logic 1. In the loopback mode, sets OUT2 (DCD) internally to a logic 1. logic 1 = OUT2 is at logic 0. In the loopback mode, sets OUT2 (DCD) internally to a logic 0. 2 MCR[2] OUT1. This bit is used in the Loopback mode only.

7.7 Line Status Register (LSR)
This register provides the status of data transfers between the SC16C550B and the CPU.
Table 20. Bit 7 Line Status Register bits description Description FIFO data error. logic 0 = no error (normal default condition) logic 1 = at least one parity error, framing error or break indication is in the current FIFO data. This bit is cleared when LSR register is read. 6 LSR[6] THR and TSR empty. This bit is the Transmit Empty indicator. This bit is set to a logic 1 whenever the transmit holding register and the transmit shift register are both empty. It is reset to logic 0 whenever either the THR or TSR contains a data character. In the FIFO mode, this bit is set to `1' whenever the transmit FIFO and transmit shift register are both empty. THR empty. This bit is the Transmit Holding Register Empty indicator. This bit indicates that the UART is ready to accept a new character for transmission. In addition, this bit causes the UART to issue an interrupt to CPU when the THR interrupt enable is set. The THR bit is set to a logic 1 when a character is transferred from the transmit holding register into the transmitter shift register. The bit is reset to a logic 0 concurrently with the loading of the transmitter holding register by the CPU. In the FIFO mode, this bit is set when the transmit FIFO is empty; it is cleared when at least 1 byte is written to the transmit FIFO. Break interrupt. logic 0 = no break condition (normal default condition) logic 1 = the receiver received a break signal (RX was a logic 0 for one character frame time). In the FIFO mode, only one break character is loaded into the FIFO. 3 LSR[3] Framing error. logic 0 = no framing error (normal default condition) logic 1 = framing error. The receive character did not have a valid stop bit(s). In the FIFO mode, this error is associated with the character at the top of the FIFO. 2 LSR[2] Parity error. logic 0 = no parity error (normal default condition) logic 1 = parity error. The receive character does not have correct parity information and is suspect. In the FIFO mode, this error is associated with the character at the top of the FIFO. 1 LSR[1] Overrun error. logic 0 = no overrun error (normal default condition) logic 1 = overrun error. A data overrun error occurred in the receive shift register. This happens when additional data arrives while the FIFO is full. In this case, the previous data in the shift register is overwritten. Note that under this condition, the data byte in the receive shift register is not transferred into the FIFO, therefore the data in the FIFO is not corrupted by the error. 0 LSR[0] Receive data ready. logic 0 = no data in receive holding register or FIFO (normal default condition) logic 1 = data has been received and is saved in the receive holding register or FIFO

7.8 Modem Status Register (MSR)
This register provides the current state of the control interface signals from the modem, or other peripheral device to which the SC16C550B is connected. Four bits of this register are used to indicate the changed information. These bits are set to a logic 1 whenever a control input from the modem changes state. These bits are set to a logic 0 whenever the CPU reads this register.
Table 21. Bit 7 Modem Status Register bits description Description Data Carrier Detect. DCD (active HIGH, logical 1). Normally this bit is the complement of the DCD input. In the loopback mode this bit is equivalent to the OUT2 bit in the MCR register. Ring Indicator. RI (active HIGH, logical 1). Normally this bit is the complement of the RI input. In the loopback mode this bit is equivalent to the OUT1 bit in the MCR register. Data Set Ready. DSR (active HIGH, logical 1). Normally this bit is the complement of the DSR input. In loopback mode this bit is equivalent to the DTR bit in the MCR register. Clear To Send. CTS. CTS functions as hardware flow control signal input if it is enabled via MCR[5]. The transmit holding register flow control is enabled/disabled by MSR[4]. Flow control (when enabled) allows starting and stopping the transmissions based on the external modem CTS signal. A logic 1 at the CTS pin will stop SC16C550B transmissions as soon as current character has finished transmission. Normally MSR[4] is the complement of the CTS input. However, in the loopback mode, this bit is equivalent to the RTS bit in the MCR register. DCD[1] logic 0 = no DCD change (normal default condition) logic 1 = the DCD input to the SC16C550B has changed state since the last time it was read. A modem Status Interrupt will be generated. 2 MSR[2] RI[1] logic 0 = no RI change (normal default condition). logic 1 = the RI input to the SC16C550B has changed from a logic 0 to a logic 1. A modem Status Interrupt will be generated. 1 MSR[1] DSR[1] logic 0 = no DSR change (normal default condition) logic 1 = the DSR input to the SC16C550B has changed state since the last time it was read. A modem Status Interrupt will be generated. 0 MSR[0] CTS[1] logic 0 = no CTS change (normal default condition) logic 1 = the CTS input to the SC16C550B has changed state since the last time it was read. A modem Status Interrupt will be generated.
[1] Whenever any MSR bit 0:3 is set to logic 1, a Modem Status Interrupt will be generated.

12. Soldering of SMD packages
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 "Surface mount reflow soldering description".
12.1 Introduction to soldering
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high densities that come with increased miniaturization.
12.2 Wave and reflow soldering
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:
* Through-hole components * Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also, leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered, due to an increased probability of bridging. The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages, packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable. Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:
* * * * * *
Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation The moisture sensitivity level of the packages Package placement Inspection and repair Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering
12.3 Wave soldering
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:
* Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are exposed to the wave
* Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities

12.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
* Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 28) than a SnPb process, thus reducing the process window
* Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
* Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with Table 27 and 28
Table 27. SnPb eutectic process (from J-STD-020C) Package reflow temperature (C) Volume (mm3) < 350 < 2.5 2.5 Table 28. 235 220 Lead-free process (from J-STD-020C) Package reflow temperature (C) Volume (mm3) < 350 < 1.6 1.6 to 2.5 > 2.5 260 260 250 350 to 2000 260 250 245 > 2000 260 245 245 350 220 220

Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all times. Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow soldering, see Figure 28.

13. Soldering of through-hole mount packages
13.1 Introduction to soldering through-hole mount packages
This text gives a very brief insight into wave, dip and manual soldering. Wave soldering is the preferred method for mounting of through-hole mount IC packages on a printed-circuit board.
13.2 Soldering by dipping or by solder wave
Driven by legislation and environmental forces the worldwide use of lead-free solder pastes is increasing. Typical dwell time of the leads in the wave ranges from 3 seconds to 4 seconds at 250 C or 265 C, depending on solder material applied, SnPb or Pb-free respectively. The total contact time of successive solder waves must not exceed 5 seconds. The device may be mounted up to the seating plane, but the temperature of the plastic body must not exceed the specified maximum storage temperature (Tstg(max)). If the printed-circuit board has been pre-heated, forced cooling may be necessary immediately after soldering to keep the temperature within the permissible limit.
13.3 Manual soldering
Apply the soldering iron (24 V or less) to the lead(s) of the package, either below the seating plane or not more than 2 mm above it. If the temperature of the soldering iron bit is less than 300 C it may remain in contact for up to 10 seconds. If the bit temperature is between 300 C and 400 C, contact may be up to 5 seconds.
