Quad UART with 64-byte FIFO
7.7 Modem status register (MSR)
This 8-bit register provides information about the current state of the control lines
from the mode, data set, or peripheral device to the processor. It also indicates when
a control input from the modem changes state.
Table 15
shows modem status
register bit settings per channel.

Modem Status Register bits description
Description
CD (Active-HIGH, logical 1). This bit is the complement of the CD input
during normal mode. During internal loop-back mode, it is equivalent to
MCR[3].
RI (Active-HIGH, logical 1). This bit is the complement of the RI input
during normal mode. During internal loop-back mode, it is equivalent to
MCR[2].
DSR (Active-HIGH, logical 1). This bit is the complement of the DSR
input during normal mode. During internal loop-back mode, it is
equivalent MCR[0].
CTS (Active-HIGH, logical 1). This bit is the complement of the CTS
input during normal mode. During internal loop-back mode, it is
equivalent to MCR[1].
鈭咰D.
Indicates that CD input (or MCR[3] in loop-back mode) has
changed state. Cleared on a read.
鈭哛I.
Indicates that RI input (or MCR[2] in loop-back mode) has changed
state from LOW to HIGH. Cleared on a read.
鈭咲SR.
Indicates that DSR input (or MCR[0] in loop-back mode) has
changed state. Cleared on a read.
鈭咰TS.
Indicates that CTS input (or MCR[1] in loop-back mode) has
changed state. Cleared on a read.

The primary inputs RI, CD, CTS, DSR are all Active-LOW, but their registered equivalents in the MSR
and MCR (in loop-back) registers are Active-HIGH.
7.8 Interrupt enable register (IER)
The interrupt enable register (IER) enables each of the six types of interrupt, receiver
error, RHR interrupt, THR interrupt, Xoff received, or CTS/RTS change of state from
LOW to HIGH. The INT output signal is activated in response to interrupt generation.
Table 16
shows interrupt enable register bit settings.
