TWO CHANNEL I2C/SPI UART WITH 64-BYTE FIFO AND RS232 TRANSCEIVER
REV. 1.0.2
2.8
Transmitter
The transmitter section comprises of an 8-bit Transmit Shift Register (TSR) and 64 bytes of FIFO which
includes a byte-wide Transmit Holding Register (THR). TSR shifts out every data bit with the 16X/8X/4X
internal clock. A bit time is 16 (8 if 8X or 4 if 4X) clock periods (see DLD[5:4]). The transmitter sends the start-
bit followed by the number of data bits, inserts the proper parity-bit if enabled, and adds the stop-bit(s). The
status of the FIFO and TSR are reported in the Line Status Register (LSR[6:5]).
2.8.1
Transmit Holding Register (THR) - Write Only
The transmit holding register is an 8-bit register providing a data interface to the host processor. The host
writes transmit data byte to the THR to be converted into a serial data stream including start-bit, data bits,
parity-bit and stop-bit(s). The least-significant-bit (Bit-0) becomes first data bit to go out. The THR is the input
register to the transmit FIFO of 64 bytes when FIFO operation is enabled by FCR bit-0. Every time a write
operation is made to the THR, the FIFO data pointer is automatically bumped to the next sequential data
location.
