Interrupt Trigger Level: When the number of entries in the receive FIFO equals the
interrupt trigger level programmed into this field and the Received Data Available
Interrupt is enabled (via IER), an interrupt is generated and appropriate bits are set
in the IIR.
ITL
00 = 1 byte or more in FIFO causes interrupt
01 = 8 bytes or more in FIFO causes interrupt
10 = 16 bytes or more in FIFO causes interrupt
11 = 32 bytes or more in FIFO causes interrupt
(Reserved)
Reset Transmitter FIFO: When RESETTF is logic 1, the transmitted FIFO count logic
is set to 0, effectively clearing all the entries in the transmit FIFO. The TDRQ bit in
LSR are set and IIR shows a transmitter requests data interrupt if the TIE bit in the
IER register is set. The transmitter shift register is not cleared; it completes the
RESETTF
current transmission. After the FIFO is cleared, RESETTF is automatically reset to 0.
0 = Writing 0 has no effect
1 = The transmitter FIFO is cleared (FIFO counter set to 0). After clearing, bit is
automatically reset to 0.
Reset Receiver FIFO: When RESETRF is set to 1, the receive FIFO counter is reset
to 0, effectively clearing all the entries in the receive FIFO. The DR bit in the LSR is
reset to 0. All the error bits in the FIFO and the FIFOE bit in LSR are cleared. Any
error bits, OE, PE, FE or BI that had been set in LSR are still set. The receiver shift
register is not cleared. If IIR had been set to Received Data Available, it is cleared.
RESETRF
After the receive FIFO is cleared, RESETRF is automatically reset to 0.
0 = Writing 0 has no effect
1 = The receiver FIFO is cleared (FIFO counter set to 0). After clearing, bit is
automatically reset to 0
Transmit and Receive FIFO Enable: TRFIFOE enables/disables the transmitter and
receiver FIFO s.
When TRFIFOE = 1, both FIFOs are enabled (FIFO Mode).
When TRFIFOE = 0, the FIFO s are both disabled (non-FIFO Mode).
TRFIFOE
Writing a 0 to this bit clears all bytes in both FIFO s.
0 = FIFOs are disabled
1 = FIFOs are enabled
