description  
The TL16C550C and the TL16C550CI are functional upgrades of the TL16C550B asynchronous  
communications element (ACE), which in turn is a functional upgrade of the TL16C450. Functionally equivalent  
to the TL16C450 on power up (character or TL16C450 mode), the TL16C550C and the TL16C550CI, like the  
TL16C550B, can be placed in an alternate FIFO mode. This relieves the CPU of excessive software overhead  
by buffering received and transmitted characters. The receiver and transmitter FIFOs store up to 16 bytes  
including three additional bits of error status per byte for the receiver FIFO. In the FIFO mode, there is a  
selectable autoflow control feature that can significantly reduce software overload and increase system  
efficiency by automatically controlling serial data flow using RTS output and CTS input signals.  
The TL16C550C and TL16C550CI perform serial-to-parallel conversions on data received from a peripheral  
device or modem and parallel-to-serial conversion on data received from its CPU. The CPU can read the ACE  
status at any time. The ACE includes complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt system that  
can be tailored to minimize software management of the communications link.  
Both the TL16C550C and the TL16C550CI ACE include a programmable baud rate generator capable of  
dividing a reference clock by divisors from 1 to 65535 and producing a 16× reference clock for the internal  
transmitter logic. Provisions are included to use this 16× clock for the receiver logic. The ACE accommodates  
a 1-Mbaud serial rate (16-MHz input clock) so that a bit time is 1 µs and a typical character time is 10 µs (start  
bit, 8 data bits, stop bit).  
Two of the TL16C450 terminal functions on the TL16C550C and the TL16C550CI have been changed to  
TXRDY and RXRDY, which provide signaling to a DMA controller.

ASYNCHRONOUS COMMUNICATIONS ELEMENT  
WITH AUTOFLOW CONTROL  
SLLS177E – MARCH 1994 – REVISED APRIL1998  
detailed description  
autoflow control (see Figure 1)  
Autoflow control is comprised of auto-CTS and auto-RTS. 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 RTSis connected to CTS, data transmission does not occur unless  
the receiver FIFO has space for the data; thus, overrun errors are eliminated using ACE1 and ACE2 from a  
TLC16C550Cwiththeautoflowcontrolenabled. Ifnot, overrunerrorsoccurwhenthetransmitdatarateexceeds  
the receiver FIFO read latency.

Figure 1. Autoflow Control (Auto-RTS and Auto-CTS) Example  
auto-RTS (see Figure 1)  
Auto-RTS data flow control originates in the receiver timing and control block (see functional block diagram)  
andislinkedtotheprogrammedreceiverFIFOtriggerlevel. WhenthereceiverFIFOlevelreachesatriggerlevel  
of 1, 4, or 8 (see Figure 3), RTS is deasserted. With trigger levels of 1, 4, and 8, the sending ACE may send  
an additional byte after the trigger level is reached (assuming the sending ACE has another byte to send)  
because it may not recognize the deassertion of RTS until after it has begun sending the additional byte. RTS  
is automatically reasserted once the RCV FIFO is emptied by reading the receiver buffer register.  
When the trigger level is 14 (see Figure 4), RTS is deasserted after the first data bit of the 16th character is  
present on the SIN line. RTS is reasserted when the RCV FIFO has at least one available byte space.  
auto-CTS (see Figure 1)  
The transmitter circuitry checks CTS before sending the next data byte. 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 2). 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.  
enabling autoflow control and auto-CTS  
Autoflow control is enabled by setting modem control register bits 5 (autoflow enable or AFE) and 1 (RTS) to  
a 1. Autoflow incorporates both auto-RTS and auto-CTS. When only auto-CTS is desired, bit 1 in the modem  
control register should be cleared (this assumes that a control signal is driving CTS).

Baud out. BAUDOUT is a 16× clock signal for the transmitter section of the ACE. The clock rate is  
established by the reference oscillator frequency divided by a divisor specified by the baud generator  
divisor latches. BAUDOUT may also be used for the receiver section by tying this output to RCLK.

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. CTS is also used  
in the auto-CTS mode to control the transmitter.

Data terminal ready. When active (low), DTR informs a modem or data set that the ACE 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 loop mode  
operation, or clearing the DTR bit.  
INTRPT  
Interrupt. When active (high), INTRPT informs the CPU that the ACE 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. INTRPT is reset (deactivated) either when the interrupt is serviced or as a result of a master  
reset.

Receiver ready. Receiver direct memory access (DMA) signalling is available with RXRDY. When  
operating in the FIFO mode, one of two types of DMA signalling can be selected using the FIFO control  
register bit 3 (FCR3). When operating in the TL16C450 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  
multitransfer DMA in which multiple transfers are made continuously until the receiver FIFO has been  
emptied. In DMA mode 0 (FCR0 = 0 or FCR0 = 1, FCR3 = 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  
buttherearenocharactersintheFIFOorholdingregister, RXRDYgoesinactive(high). InDMAmode 1  
(FCR0 = 1, FCR3 = 1), when the trigger level or the time-out has been reached, RXRDY goes active

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION  
FIFO control register (FCR)  
The FCR is a write-only register at the same location as the IIR, which is a read-only register. The FCR enables  
and clears the FIFOs, sets the receiver FIFO trigger level, and selects the type of DMA signalling.  
Bit 0: This bit, when set, enables the transmitter and receiver FIFOs. Bit 0 must be set when other FCR  
bits are written to or they are not programmed. Changing this bit clears the FIFOs.  
Bit 1: This bit, when set, clears all bytes in the receiver FIFO and clears its counter. The shift register is not  
cleared. The 1 that is written to this bit position is self clearing.  
Bit 2: This bit, when set, clears all bytes in the transmit FIFO and clears its counter. The shift register is not  
cleared. The 1 that is written to this bit position is self clearing.  
Bit 3: When FCR0 is set, setting FCR3 causes RXRDY and TXRDY to change from level 0 to level 1.  
Bits 4 and 5: These two bits are reserved for future use.  
Bits 6 and 7: These two bits set the trigger level for the receiver FIFO interrupt (see Table 4).

FIFO interrupt mode operation  
When the receiver FIFO and receiver interrupts are enabled (FCR0 = 1, IER0 = 1, IER2 = 1), a receiver interrupt  
occurs as follows:  
1. The received data available interrupt is issued to the microprocessor when the FIFO has reached its  
programmed trigger level. It is cleared when the FIFO drops below its programmed trigger level.  
2. The IIR receive data available indication also occurs when the FIFO trigger level is reached, and like the  
interrupt, it is cleared when the FIFO drops below the trigger level.  
3. The receiver line status interrupt (IIR = 06) has higher priority than the received data available (IIR = 04)  
interrupt.  
4. The data ready bit (LSR0) is set when a character is transferred from the shift register to the receiver FIFO.  
It is cleared when the FIFO is empty.

SLLS177E – MARCH 1994 – REVISED APRIL1998  
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION  
FIFO interrupt mode operation (continued)  
When the receiver FIFO and receiver interrupts are enabled:  
1. FIFO time-out interrupt occurs if the following conditions exist:  
a. At least one character is in the FIFO.  
b. The most recent serial character was received more than four continuous character times ago (if two  
stop bits are programmed, the second one is included in this time delay).  
c. The most recent microprocessor read of the FIFO has occurred more than four continuous character  
times before. This causes a maximum character received command to interrupt an issued delay of 160  
ms at a 300 baud rate with a 12-bit character.  
2. Character times are calculated by using the RCLK input for a clock signal (makes the delay proportional  
to the baud rate).  
3. When a time-out interrupt has occurred, it is cleared and the timer is cleared when the microprocessor reads  
one character from the receiver FIFO.  
4. When a time-out interrupt has not occurred, the time-out timer is cleared after a new character is received  
or after the microprocessor reads the receiver FIFO.  
When the transmitter FIFO and THRE interrupt are enabled (FCR0 = 1, IER1 = 1), transmit interrupts occur as  
follows:  
1. The transmitter holding register interrupt [IIR (30) = 2] occurs when the transmit FIFO is empty. It is cleared  
[IIR (30) = 1] when the THR is written to (1 to 16 characters may be written to the transmit FIFO while  
servicing this interrupt) or the IIR is read.  
2. The transmitter FIFO empty indicator (LSR5 (THRE) = 1) is delayed one character time minus the last stop  
bit time when there have not been at least two bytes in the transmitter FIFO at the same time since the last  
time that THRE = 1. The first transmitter interrupt after changing FCR0 is immediate if it is enabled.  
Character time-out and receiver FIFO trigger level interrupts have the same priority as the current  
received-data-available interrupt; transmit FIFO empty has the same priority as the current THRE interrupt.  
FIFO polled mode operation  
With FCR0 = 1 (transmitter and receiver FIFOs enabled), clearing IER0, IER1, IER2, IER3, or all four to 0 puts  
the ACE in the FIFO polled mode of operation. Since the receiver and transmitter are controlled separately,  
either one or both can be in the polled mode of operation.  
In this mode, the user program checks receiver and transmitter status using the LSR. As stated previously:  
LSR0 is set as long as there is one byte in the receiver FIFO.  
LSR1 – LSR4 specify which error(s) have occurred. Character error status is handled the same way as  
when in the interrupt mode; the IIR is not affected since IER2 = 0.  
LSR5 indicates when the THR is empty.  
LSR6 indicates that both the THR and TSR are empty.  
LSR7 indicates whether there are any errors in the receiver FIFO.  
There is no trigger level reached or time-out condition indicated in the FIFO polled mode. However, the receiver  
and transmitter FIFOs are still fully capable of holding characters.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION  
interrupt enable register (IER)  
The IER enables each of the five types of interrupts (refer to Table 5) and enables INTRPT in response to an  
interrupt generation. The IER can also disable the interrupt system by clearing bits 0 through 3. The contents  
of this register are summarized in Table 3 and are described in the following bullets.  
Bit 0: When set, this bit enables the received data available interrupt.  
Bit 1: When set, this bit enables the THRE interrupt.  
Bit 2: When set, this bit enables the receiver line status interrupt.  
Bit 3: When set, this bit enables the modem status interrupt.  
Bits 4 through 7: These bits are not used (always cleared).  
interrupt identification register (IIR)  
The ACE has an on-chip interrupt generation and prioritization capability that permits a flexible interface with  
most popular microprocessors.  
The ACE provides four prioritized levels of interrupts:  
Priority 1 – Receiver line status (highest priority)  
Priority 2 – Receiver data ready or receiver character time-out  
Priority 3 – Transmitter holding register empty  
Priority 4 – Modem status (lowest priority)  
When an interrupt is generated, the IIR indicates that an interrupt is pending and encodes the type of interrupt  
in its three least significant bits (bits 0, 1, and 2). The contents of this register are summarized in Table 3 and  
described in Table 5. Detail on each bit is as follows:  
Bit 0: This bit is used either in a hardwire prioritized or polled interrupt system. When bit 0 is cleared, an  
interrupt is pending If bit 0 is set, no interrupt is pending.  
Bits 1 and 2: These two bits identify the highest priority interrupt pending as indicated in Table 3  
Bit 3: This bit is always cleared in TL16C450 mode. In FIFO mode, bit 3 is set with bit 2 to indicate that a  
time-out interrupt is pending.  
Bits 4 and 5: These two bits are not used (always cleared).  
Bits 6 and 7: These bits are always cleared in TL16C450 mode. They are set when bit 0 of the FIFO control  
register is set.

line control register (LCR)  
The system programmer controls the format of the asynchronous data communication exchange through the  
LCR. In addition, the programmer is able to retrieve, inspect, and modify the contents of the LCR; this eliminates  
the need for separate storage of the line characteristics in system memory. The contents of this register are  
summarized in Table 3 and described in the following bulleted list.  
Bits 0 and 1: These two bits specify the number of bits in each transmitted or received serial character.  
These bits are encoded as shown in Table 6.

Bit 2: This bit specifies either one, one and one-half, or two stop bits in each transmitted character. When  
bit 2 is cleared, one stop bit is generated in the data. When bit 2 is set, the number of stop bits generated  
is dependent on the word length selected with bits 0 and 1. The receiver clocks only the first stop bit  
regardless of the number of stop bits selected. The number of stop bits generated in relation to word length  
and bit 2 are shown in Table 7.

cleared, no parity is generated or checked.  
Bit 4: This bit is the even parity select bit. When parity is enabled (bit 3 is set) and bit 4 is set even parity  
(an even number of logic 1s in the data and parity bits) is selected. When parity is enabled and bit 4 is  
cleared, odd parity (an odd number of logic 1s) is selected.  
Bit 5: This bit is the stick parity bit. When bits 3, 4, and 5 are set, the parity bit is transmitted and checked  
as cleared. When bits 3 and 5 are set and bit 4 is cleared, the parity bit is transmitted and checked as set.  
If bit 5 is cleared, stick parity is disabled.  
Bit 6: This bit is the break control bit. Bit 6 is set to force a break condition; i.e., a condition where SOUT  
is forced to the spacing (cleared) state. When bit 6 is cleared, the break condition is disabled and has no  
affect on the transmitter logic; it only effects SOUT.  
Bit 7: This bit is the divisor latch access bit (DLAB). Bit 7 must be set to access the divisor latches of the  
baud generator during a read or write. Bit 7 must be cleared during a read or write to access the receiver  
buffer, the THR, or the IER.  
line status register (LSR)  
The LSR provides information to the CPU concerning the status of data transfers. The contents of this register  
are summarized in Table 3 and described in the following bulleted list.  
Bit 0: This bit is the data ready (DR) indicator for the receiver. DR is set whenever a complete incoming  
character has been received and transferred into the RBR or the FIFO. DR is cleared by reading all of the  
data in the RBR or the FIFO.  
Bit 1 : This bit is the overrun error (OE) indicator. When OE is set, it indicates that before the character in  
the RBR was read, it was overwritten by the next character transferred into the register. OE is cleared every  
time the CPU reads the contents of the LSR. If the FIFO mode data continues to fill the FIFO beyond the  
trigger level, an overrun error occurs only after the FIFO is full and the next character has been completely  
received in the shift register. An overrun error is indicated to the CPU as soon as it happens. The character  
in the shift register is overwritten, but it is not transferred to the FIFO.  
The line status register is intended for read operations only; writing to this register is not recommended outside of a factory testing environment.  
Bits 1 through 4 are the error conditions that produce a receiver line status interrupt.

line status register (LSR) (continued)  
Bit 2 : This bit is the parity error (PE) indicator. When PE is set, it indicates that the parity of the received  
data character does not match the parity selected in the LCR (bit 4). PE is cleared every time the CPU reads  
the contents of the LSR. In the FIFO mode, this error is associated with the particular character in the FIFO  
to which it applies. This error is revealed to the CPU when its associated character is at the top of the FIFO.  
Bit 3 : This bit is the framing error (FE) indicator. When FE is set, it indicates that the received character  
did not have a valid (set) stop bit. FE is cleared every time the CPU reads the contents of the LSR. In the  
FIFO mode, this error is associated with the particular character in the FIFO to which it applies. This error  
is revealed to the CPU when its associated character is at the top of the FIFO. The ACE tries to  
resynchronize after a framing error. To accomplish this, it is assumed that the framing error is due to the  
next start bit. The ACE samples this start bit twice and then accepts the input data.  
Bit 4 : This bit is the break interrupt (BI) indicator. When BI is set, it indicates that the received data input  
was held low for longer than a full-word transmission time. A full-word transmission time is defined as the  
total time to transmit the start, data, parity, and stop bits. BI is cleared every time the CPU reads the contents  
of the LSR. In the FIFO mode, this error is associated with the particular character in the FIFO to which it  
applies. This error is revealed to the CPU when its associated character is at the top of the FIFO. When a  
break occurs, only one 0 character is loaded into the FIFO. The next character transfer is enabled after SIN  
goes to the marking state for at least two RCLK samples and then receives the next valid start bit.  
Bit 5: This bit is the THRE indicator. THRE is set when the THR is empty, indicating that the ACE is ready  
to accept a new character. If the THRE interrupt is enabled when THRE is set, an interrupt is generated.  
THRE is set when the contents of the THR are transferred to the TSR. THRE is cleared concurrent with the  
loading of the THR by the CPU. In the FIFO mode, THRE is set when the transmit FIFO is empty; it is cleared  
when at least one byte is written to the transmit FIFO.  
Bit 6: This bit is the transmitter empty (TEMT) indicator. TEMT bit is set when the THR and the TSR are  
both empty. When either the THR or the TSR contains a data character, TEMT is cleared. In the FIFO mode,  
TEMT is set when the transmitter FIFO and shift register are both empty.  
Bit 7: In the TL16C550C mode, this bit is always cleared. In the TL16C450 mode, this bit is always cleared.  
In the FIFO mode, LSR7 is set when there is at least one parity, framing, or break error in the FIFO. It is  
cleared when the microprocessor reads the LSR and there are no subsequent errors in the FIFO.  
modem control register (MCR)  
The MCR is an 8-bit register that controls an interface with a modem, data set, or peripheral device that is  
emulating a modem. The contents of this register are summarized in Table 3 and are described in the following  
bulleted list.  
Bit 0: This bit (DTR) controls the DTR output.  
Bit 1: This bit (RTS) controls the RTS output.  
Bit 2: This bit (OUT1) controls OUT1, a user-designated output signal.  
Bit 3: This bit (OUT2) controls OUT2, a user-designated output signal.  
When any of bits 0 through 3 are set, the associated output is forced low. When any of these bits are cleared,  
the associated output is forced high.  
The line status register is intended for read operations only; writing to this register is not recommended outside of a factory testing environment.  
Bits 1 through 4 are the error conditions that produce a receiver line status interrupt.

modem control register (MCR) (continued)  
Bit 4: This bit (LOOP) provides a local loop back feature for diagnostic testing of the ACE. When LOOP  
is set, the following occurs:  
The transmitter SOUT is set high.  
The receiver SIN is disconnected.  
The output of the TSR is looped back into the receiver shift register input.  
The four modem control inputs (CTS, DSR, DCD, and RI) are disconnected.  
The four modem control outputs (DTR, RTS, OUT1, and OUT2) are internally connected to the four  
modem control inputs.  
The four modem control outputs are forced to the inactive (high) levels.  
Bit 5: This bit (AFE) is the autoflow control enable. When set, the autoflow control as described in the  
detailed description is enabled.  
In the diagnostic mode, data that is transmitted is immediately received. This allows the processor to verify  
the transmit and receive data paths to the ACE. The receiver and transmitter interrupts are fully operational.  
The modem control interrupts are also operational, but the modem control interrupt’s sources are now the  
lower four bits of the MCR instead of the four modem control inputs. All interrupts are still controlled by the  
IER.  
The ACE flow can be configured by programming bits 1 and 5 of the MCR as shown in Table 8.

modem status register (MSR)  
The MSR is an 8-bit register that provides information about the current state of the control lines from the  
modem, data set, or peripheral device to the CPU. Additionally, four bits of this register provide change  
information; when a control input from the modem changes state, the appropriate bit is set. All four bits are  
cleared when the CPU reads the MSR. The contents of this register are summarized in Table 3 and are  
described in the following bulleted list.  
Bit 0: This bit is the change in clear-to-send (CTS) indicator. CTS indicates that the CTS input has  
changed state since the last time it was read by the CPU. When CTS is set (autoflow control is not enabled  
and the modem status interrupt is enabled), a modem status interrupt is generated. When autoflow control  
is enabled (CTS is cleared), no interrupt is generated.  
Bit 1: This bit is the change in data set ready (DSR) indicator. DSR indicates that the DSR input has  
changed state since the last time it was read by the CPU. WhenDSR is set and the modem status interrupt  
is enabled, a modem status interrupt is generated.  
Bit 2: This bit is the trailing edge of the ring indicator (TERI) detector. TERI indicates that the RI input to  
thechiphaschangedfromalowtoahighlevel. WhenTERIissetandthemodemstatusinterruptisenabled,  
a modem status interrupt is generated.

modem status register (MSR) (continued)  
Bit 3: This bit is the change in data carrier detect (DCD) indicator. DCD indicates that the DCD input to  
the chip has changed state since the last time it was read by the CPU. When DCD is set and the modem  
status interrupt is enabled, a modem status interrupt is generated.  
Bit 4: This bit is the complement of the clear-to-send (CTS) input. When the ACE is in the diagnostic test  
mode (LOOP [MCR4] = 1), this bit is equal to the MCR bit 1 (RTS).  
Bit 5: This bit is the complement of the data set ready (DSR) input. When the ACE is in the diagnostic test  
mode (LOOP [MCR4] = 1), this bit is equal to the MCR bit 0 (DTR).  
Bit 6: This bit is the complement of the ring indicator (RI) input. When the ACE is in the diagnostic test mode  
(LOOP [MCR4] = 1), this bit is equal to the MCR bit 2 (OUT1).  
Bit 7: This bit is the complement of the data carrier detect (DCD) input. When the ACE is in the diagnostic  
test mode (LOOP [MCR4] = 1), this bit is equal to the MCR bit 3 (OUT2).  
programmable baud generator  
The ACE contains a programmable baud generator that takes a clock input in the range between dc and 16 MHz  
16  
and divides it by a divisor in the range between 1 and (2 –1). The output frequency of the baud generator is  
sixteen times (16×) the baud rate. The formula for the divisor is:  
divisor = XIN frequency input ÷ (desired baud rate × 16)  
Two 8-bit registers, called divisor latches, store the divisor in a 16-bit binary format. These divisor latches must  
beloadedduringinitializationoftheACEinordertoensuredesiredoperationofthebaudgenerator. Wheneither  
of the divisor latches is loaded, a 16-bit baud counter is also loaded to prevent long counts on initial load.  
Tables 9 and 10 illustrate the use of the baud generator with crystal frequencies of 1.8432 MHz and 3.072 MHz  
respectively. For baud rates of 38.4 kbits/s and below, the error obtained is very small. The accuracy of the  
selected baud rate is dependent on the selected crystal frequency (refer to Figure 23 for examples of typical  
clock circuits).

receiver buffer register (RBR)  
The ACE receiver section consists of a receiver shift register (RSR) and a RBR. The RBR is actually a 16-byte  
FIFO. Timing is supplied by the 16× receiver clock (RCLK). Receiver section control is a function of the ACE  
line control register.  
The ACE RSR receives serial data from SIN. The RSR then concatenates the data and moves it into the RBR  
FIFO. In the TL16C450 mode, when a character is placed in the RBR and the received data available interrupt  
is enabled (IER0 = 1), an interrupt is generated. This interrupt is cleared when the data is read out of the RBR.  
In the FIFO mode, the interrupts are generated based on the control setup in the FIFO control register.  
scratch register  
The scratch register is an 8-bit register that is intended for the programmer’s use as a scratchpad in the sense  
that it temporarily holds the programmer’s data without affecting any other ACE operation.  
transmitter holding register (THR)  
The ACE transmitter section consists of a THR and a transmitter shift register (TSR). The THR is actually a  
16-byte FIFO. Timing is supplied by BAUDOUT. Transmitter section control is a function of the ACE line control  
register.  
The ACE THR receives data off the internal data bus and when the shift register is idle, moves it into the TSR.  
The TSR serializes the data and outputs it at SOUT. In the TL16C450 mode, if the THR is empty and the  
transmitter holding register empty (THRE) interrupt is enabled (IER1 = 1), an interrupt is generated. This  
interrupt is cleared when a character is loaded into the register. In the FIFO mode, the interrupts are generated  
based on the control setup in the FIFO control register.
