Source of the interrupt
LSR (Receiver Line Status Register)

RXRDY (Receive Data time out)
TXRDY ( Transmitter Holding Register Empty)
MSR (Modem Status Register)
RXRDY (Received Xoff signal)/ Special character
CTS, RTS change of state
ISR BIT-0:
Logic 0 = An interrupt is pending and the ISR contents
may be used as a pointer to the appropriate interrupt
service routine.
Logic 1 = No interrupt pending. (normal default condi-
tion)
ISR BIT 1-3: (logic 0 or cleared is the default condition)
These bits indicate the source for a pending interrupt
at interrupt priority levels 1, 2, and 3 (See Interrupt
Source Table).
ISR BIT 4-5: (logic 0 or cleared is the default condition)
These bits are enabled when EFR bit-4 is set to a logic
1. ISR bit-4 indicates that matching Xoff character(s)
have been detected. ISR bit-5 indicates that CTS,
RTS have been generated. Note that once set to a
logic 1, the ISR bit-4 will stay a logic 1 until Xon
character(s) are received.
ISR BIT 6-7: (logic 0 or cleared is the default condition)
These bits are set to a logic 0 when the FIFO is not
being used. They are set to a logic 1 when the FIFO’s
are enabled
Line Control Register (LCR)
LCR BIT 0-1: (logic 0 or cleared is the default condition)
These two bits specify the word length to be transmitted
or received.

LCR BIT-2: (logic 0 or cleared is the default condition)
The length of stop bit is specified by this bit in
conjunction with the programmed word length.

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.
LCR BIT-3:
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 transmis-
sion, receiver checks the data and parity for transmis-
sion errors.
