I
Bus Configuration: When high or not connected configures the bus interface to the Conditions shown in this table.
D0–D7
I/O
Data Bus: Bi-directional 3-State data bus used to transfer commands, data and status between the UART and the
CPU. D0 is the least significant bit.
CEN
I
Chip Enable: Active-Low input signal. When Low, data transfers between the CPU and the UART are enabled on
D0–D7 as controlled by the WRN, RDN and A0–A3 inputs. When High, places the D0–D7 lines in the 3-State condi-
tion.
WRN
RDN
I
I
Write Strobe: When Low and CEN is also Low, the contents of the data bus is loaded into the addressed register. The
transfer occurs on the rising edge of the signal.
Read Strobe: When Low and CEN is also Low, causes the contents of the addressed register to be presented on the
data bus. The read cycle begins on the falling edge of RDN.
A0–A3
I
I
Address Inputs: Select the UART internal registers and ports for read/write operations.
RESET
Reset: A High level clears internal registers (SR, IMR, ISR, OPR, OPCR), puts OP0–OP7 in the High state, stops the
counter/timer, and puts the Channel in the inactive state, with the TxD outputs in the mark (High) state. Sets MR point-
er to MR1. See Figure 4

NOTES:
1. Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and
functional operation of the device at these or any other condition above those indicated in the operation section of this specification is not
implied.
2. For operating at elevated temperatures, the device must be derated based on +150°C maximum junction temperature.
3. This product includes circuitry specifically designed for the protection of its internal devices from damaging effects of excessive static
charge. Nonetheless, it is suggested that conventional precautions be taken to avoid applying any voltages larger than the rated maxima.
4. Parameters are valid over specified temperature and voltage range.

NOTES:
1. Parameters are valid over specified temperature and voltage range.
2. All voltage measurements are referenced to ground (GND). For testing, all inputs swing between 0.4 V and 3.0 V with a transition time of
5 ns maximum. For X1/CLK this swing is between 0.4 V and 0.8*V . All time measurements are referenced at input voltages of 0.8 V and
CC
2.0 V and output voltages of 0.8 V and 2.0 V, as appropriate.
3. Test conditions for outputs: CL = 125 pF, except open drain outputs. Test conditions for open drain outputs: C = 125 pF,

4. Typical values are the average values at +25 °C and 5 V.
5. Timing is illustrated and referenced to the WRN and RDN Inputs. Also, CEN may be the “strobing” input. CEN and RDN (also CEN and
WRN) are ORed internally. The signal asserted last initiates the cycle and the signal negated first terminates the cycle.

3.3 V or 5.0 V Universal Asynchronous
Receiver/Transmitter (UART)
SC28L91
Block Diagram
TIMING CIRCUITS
Crystal Clock
The SC28L91 UART consists of the following seven major sections:
data bus buffer, operation control, interrupt control, timing, Rx and
Tx FIFO Buffers, input port and output port control. Refer to the
Block Diagram.
The timing block consists of a crystal oscillator, a baud rate
generator, a programmable 16-bit counter/timer, and four clock
selectors. The crystal oscillator operates directly from a crystal
connected across the X1/CLK and X2 inputs. If an external clock of
the appropriate frequency is available, it may be connected to
X1/CLK. The clock serves as the basic timing reference for the Baud
Rate Generator (BRG), the counter/timer, and other internal circuits.
A clock signal within the limits specified in the specifications section
of this data sheet must always be supplied to the UART. If an
external clock is used instead of a crystal, X1 should be driven using
a configuration similar to the one in Figure 11. X2 should be open or
driving a nominal gate load. Nominal crystal rate is 3.6864 MHz.
Rates up to 8 MHz may be used.
Data Bus Buffer
The data bus buffer provides the interface between the external and
internal data buses. It is controlled by the operation control block to
allow read and write operations to take place between the controlling
CPU and the UART.
Operation Control
The operation control logic receives operation commands from the
CPU and generates appropriate signals to internal sections to
control device operation. It contains address decoding and read and
write circuits to permit communications with the microprocessor via
the data bus.
BRG
The baud rate generator operates from the oscillator or external
clock input and is capable of generating 28 commonly used data
communications baud rates ranging from 50 to 38.4 K baud.
Programming bit 0 of MR0 to a “1” gives additional baud rates of
57.6 kB, 115.2 kB and 230.4 kB (500 kHz with X1 at 8.0 MHz).
These will be in the 16X mode. A 3.6864 MHz crystal or external
clock must be used to get the standard baud rates. The clock
outputs from the BRG are at 16X the actual baud rate. The
counter/timer can be used as a timer to produce a 16X clock for any
other baud rate by counting down the crystal clock or an external
clock. The four clock selectors allow the independent selection, for
the receiver and transmitter, of any of these baud rates or external
timing signal.
Interrupt Control
A single active-Low interrupt output (INTRN) is provided which is
activated upon the occurrence of any of eight internal events.
Associated with the interrupt system are the Interrupt Mask Register
(IMR) and the Interrupt Status Register (ISR). The IMR can be
programmed to select only certain conditions to cause INTRN to be
asserted. The ISR can be read by the CPU to determine all currently
active interrupting conditions. Outputs OP3–OP7 can be
programmed to provide discrete interrupt outputs for the transmitter,
receiver, and counter/timer. Programming the OP3 to OP7 pins as
interrupts causes their output buffers to change to an open drain
active low configuration. The OP pins may be used for DMA and
modem control as well. (See output port notes).
Counter/Timer
FIFO Configuration
The counter timer is a 16-bit programmable divider that operates in
one of three modes: counter, timer, and time out. In the timer mode it
generates a square wave. In the counter mode it generates a time
delay. In the time out mode it monitors the time between received
characters. The C/T uses the numbers loaded into the
Counter/Timer Lower Register (CTLR) and the Counter/Timer Upper
Register (CTUR) as its divisor.
Each receiver and transmitter has a 16 byte FIFO. These FIFOs
may be configured to operate at a fill capacity of either 8 or 16 bytes.
This feature may be used if it is desired to operate the 28L91 in
close compliance to 26C92 software. The 8-byte/16-byte mode is
controlled by the MR0[3] bit. A 0 value for this bit sets the 8-bit mode
( the default); a 1 sets the 16-byte mode.
The FIFO fill interrupt level automatically follow the programming of
the MR0[3] bit. See Tables 3 and 4.
The counter/timer clock source and mode of operation (counter or
timer) is selected by the Auxiliary Control Register bits 6 to 4
(ACR[6:4]). The output of the counter/timer may be used for a baud
rate and/or may be output to the OP pins for some external function
that may be totally unrelated to data transmission. The counter/timer
also sets the counter/timer ready bit in the Interrupt Status Register
(ISR) when its output transitions from 1 to 0. A register read address
(see Table 1) is reserved to issue a start counter/timer command
and a second register read address is reserved to issue a stop
command. The value of D[7:0] is ignored. The START command
always loads the contents of CTUR, CTLR to the counting registers.
The STOP command always resets the ISR[3] bit in the interrupt
status register.
68XXX mode
When the I/M pin is connected to V (ground), the operation of the
SS
SC28L91 switches to the bus interface compatible with the Motorola
bus interfaces. Several of the pins change their function as follows:
• IP6 becomes IACKN input
• RDN becomes DACKN
• WRN becomes R/WN
The interrupt vector is enabled and the interrupt vector will be placed
on the data bus when IACKN is asserted low. The interrupt vector
register is located at address 0xC. The contents of this register are
set to 0x0F on the application of RESETN.
Timer Mode
In the timer mode a symmetrical square wave is generated whose
half period is equal in time to division of the selected counter/timer
clock frequency by the 16-bit number loaded in the CTLR CTUR.
Thus, the frequency of the counter/timer output will be equal to the
counter/timer clock frequency divided by twice the value of the
CTUR CTLR. While in the timer mode the ISR bit 3 (ISR[3]) will be
set each time the counter/timer transitions from 1 to 0. (High to low)
The generation of DACKN uses two positive edges of the X1 clock
as the DACKN delay from the falling edge of CEN. If the CEN is
withdrawn before two edges of the X1 clock occur, the
generation of DACKN is terminated. Systems not strictly requiring
DACKN may use the 68XXX mode with the bus timing of the 80XXX
mode greatly decreasing the bus cycle time.

ISR [3], and the interrupt. Invoking the ‘Set Timeout Mode On’
command, CRx = 0xAn, will also clear the counter ready bit and stop
the counter until the next character is received. The counter timer is
controlled with six commands: Start/Stop C/T, Read/Write
Counter/Timer lower register and Read/Write Counter/Timer upper
register. These commands have slight differences depending on the
mode of operation. Please see the detail of the commands under the
CTLR CTUR Register descriptions.
NOTE: Reading of the CTU and CTL registers in the timer mode is
not meaningful. When the C/T is used to generate a baud rate and
the C/T is selected through the CSR then the receiver and/or
transmitter will be operating in the 16x mode. Calculation for the
number ‘n’ to program the counter timer upper and lower registers is
shown below.
Time Out Mode Caution
cńt clock rate
When operating in the special time out mode it is possible to
generate what appears to be a “false interrupt”, i.e. an interrupt
without a cause. This may result when a time-out interrupt occurs
and then, BEFORE the interrupt is serviced, another character is
received, i.e., the data stream has started again. (The interrupt
latency is longer than the pause in the data stream.) In this case,
when a new character has been receiver, the counter/timer will be
restarted by the receiver, thereby withdrawing its interrupt. If, at this
time, the interrupt service begins for the previously seen interrupt, a
read of the ISR will show the “Counter Ready” bit not set. If nothing
else is interrupting, this read of the ISR will return a x’00 character.
This action may present the appearance of a spurious interrupt.
N +
2 * 16 * Baud rate
Often this division will result in a non-integer number; 26.3 for
example. One can only program integer numbers to a digital divider.
Therefore 26 would be chosen. This gives a baud rate error of
0.3/26.3 which is 1.14%; well within the ability of the asynchronous
mode of operation.
Counter Mode
In the counter mode the counter/timer counts the value of the CTLR
CTUR down to zero and then sets the ISR[3] bit and sets the
counter/timer output from 1 to 0. It then rolls over to 65,365 and
continues counting with no further observable effect. Reading the
C/T in the counter mode outputs the present state of the C/T. If the
C/T is not stopped, a read of the C/T may result in changing data on
the data bus.
Communications
The communications channel of the SC28L91 comprises a
full-duplex asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART). The operating
frequency for the receiver and transmitter can be selected
independently from the baud rate generator, the counter/timer, or
from an external input. The transmitter accepts parallel data from the
CPU, converts it to a serial bit stream, inserts the appropriate start,
stop, and optional parity bits and outputs a composite serial stream
of data on the TxD output pin. The receiver accepts serial data on
the RxD pin, converts this serial input to parallel format, checks for
start bit, stop bit, parity bit (if any), or break condition and sends an
assembled character to the CPU via the receive FIFO. Three status
bits (Break Received, Framing and Parity Errors) are also FIFOed
with the data character.
Timeout Mode
The timeout mode uses the received data stream to control the
counter. The time-out mode forces the C/T into the timer mode.
Each time a received character is transferred from the shift register
to the RxFIFO, the counter is restarted. If a new character is not
received before the counter reaches zero count, the counter ready
bit is set, and an interrupt can be generated. This mode can be used
to indicate when data has been left in the Rx FIFO for more than the
programmed time limit. If the receiver has been programmed to
interrupt the CPU when the receive FIFO is full, and the message
ends before the FIFO is full, the CPU will not be interrupted for the
remaining characters in the RxFIFO.
Input Port
The inputs to this unlatched 7-bit (6-bit for 68xxx mode) port can be
read by the CPU by performing a read operation at address 0xD. A
High input results in a logic 1 while a Low input results in a logic 0.
D7 will always read as a logic 1. The pins of this port can also serve
as auxiliary inputs to certain portions of the UART logic, modem and
DMA.
By programming the C/T such that it would time out in just over one
character time, the above situation could be avoided. The processor
would be interrupted any time the data stream had stopped for more
than one character time. NOTE: This is very similar to the watch dog
timer of MR0. The difference is in the programmability of the delay
timer and that this indicates that the data stream has stopped. The
watchdog timer is more of an indicator that data is in the FIFO is not
enough to cause an interrupt. The watchdog is restarted by either a
receiver load to the RxFIFO or a system read from it.
Four change-of-state detectors are provided which are associated
with inputs IP3, IP2, IP1 and IP0. A High-to-Low or Low-to-High
transition of these inputs, lasting longer than 25–50 µs, will set the
corresponding bit in the input port change register. The bits are
cleared when the register is read by the CPU. Any change-of-state
can also be programmed to generate an interrupt to the CPU.
This mode is enabled by writing the appropriate command to the
command register. Writing an ‘0xAn’ to CR will invoke the timeout
mode for that channel. Writing a ‘Cx’ to CR will disable the timeout
mode. The timeout mode disables the regular START/STOP counter
commands and puts the C/T into counter mode under the control of
the received data stream. Each time a received character is
transferred from the shift register to the RxFIFO, the C/T is stopped
after one C/T clock, reloaded with the value in CTUR and CTLR and
then restarted on the next C/T clock. If the C/T is allowed to end the
count before a new character has been received, the counter ready
Bit, ISR[3], will be set. If IMR[3] is set, this will generate an interrupt.
Since receiving a character restarts the C/T, the receipt of a
The input port change of state detection circuitry uses a 38.4 kHz
sampling clock derived from one of the baud rate generator taps.
This results in a sampling period of slightly more than 25 µs (this
assumes that the clock input is 3.6864 MHz). The detection circuitry,
in order to guarantee that a true change in level has occurred,
requires two successive samples at the new logic level be observed.
As a consequence, the minimum duration of the signal change is
25 µs if the transition occurs “coincident with the first sample pulse”.
The 50 µs time refers to the situation in which the change-of-state is

If CTS option is enabled (MR2[4] = 1), the CTS input at IP0 or IP1
must be Low in order for the character to be transmitted. The
transmitter will check the state of the CTS input at the beginning of
the character transmitted. If it is found to be High, the transmitter will
delay the transmission of any following characters until the CTS has
returned to the low state. CTS going high during the serialization of
a character will not affect that character.
later.
Output Port
The output ports are controlled from six places: the OPCR, OPR,
MR, Command, SOPR and ROPR registers. The OPCR register
controls the source of the data for the output ports OP2 through
OP7. The data source for output ports OP0 and OP1 is controlled by
the MR and CR registers. When the OPR is the source of the data
for the output ports, the data at the ports is inverted from that in the
OPR register. The content of the OPR register is controlled by the
“Set Output Port Bits Command” and the “Reset Output Bits
Command”. These commands are at E and F, respectively. When
these commands are used, action takes place only at the bit
locations where ones exist. For example, a one in bit location 5 of
the data word used with the “Set Output Port bits” command will
result in OPR[5] being set to one. The OP5 would then be set to
The transmitter can also control the RTSN outputs, OP0 or OP1 via
MR2[5]. When this mode of operation is set, the meaning of the OP0
or OP1 signals will usually be ‘end of message’. See description of
the MR2[5] bit for more detail. This feature may be used to
automatically “turn around” a transceiver in simplex systems.
Receiver
The SC28L91 is conditioned to receive data when enabled through
the command register. The receiver looks for a High-to-Low
(mark-to-space) transition of the start bit on the RxD input pin. If a
transition is detected, the state of the RxD pin is sampled the 16X
clock for 7–1/2 clocks (16X clock mode) or at the next rising edge of
the bit time clock (1X clock mode). If RxD is sampled high, the start
bit is invalid and the search for a valid start bit begins again. If RxD
is still Low, a valid start bit is assumed and the receiver continues to
sample the input at one-bit time intervals at the theoretical center of
the bit. When the proper number of data bits and parity bit (if any)
have been assembled, and one/half stop bit has been detected the
byte is loaded to the RxFIFO. The least significant bit is received
first. The data is then transferred to the Receive FIFO and the
RxRDY bit in the SR is set to a 1. This condition can be
programmed to generate an interrupt at OP4 or OP5 and INTRN. If
the character length is less than 8 bits, the most significant unused
bits in the RxFIFO are set to zero.
zero (V ). Similarly, a one in bit position 5 of the data word

associated with the “Reset Output Ports Bits” command would set
OPR[5] to zero and, hence, the pin OP5 to a one (V ).
DD
These pins along with the IP pins and their change of state detectors
are often used for modem and DMA control.
OPERATION
Transmitter
The SC28L91 is conditioned to transmit data when the transmitter is
enabled through the command register. The SC28L91 indicates to
the CPU that it is ready to accept a character by setting the TxRDY
bit in the status register. This condition can be programmed to
generate an interrupt request at OP6 or OP7 and INTRN. When the
transmitter is initially enabled the TxRDY and TxEMPT bits will be
set in the status register. When a character is loaded to the transmit
FIFO the TxEMPT bit will be reset. The TxEMPT will not set until: 1)
the transmit FIFO is empty and the transmit shift register has
finished transmitting the stop bit of the last character written to the
transmit FIFO, or 2) the transmitter is disabled and then re-enabled.
The TxRDY bit is set whenever the transmitter is enabled and the
TxFIFO is not full. Data is transferred from the holding register to
transmit shift register when it is idle or has completed transmission
of the previous character. Characters cannot be loaded into the
TxFIFO while the transmitter is disabled.
After the stop bit is detected, the receiver will immediately look for
the next start bit. However if a framing error occurs (a non-zero
character was received without a stop bit) and then RxD remains
low one/half bit time the receiver operates as if a new start bit was
detected. It then continues to assemble the next character.
The parity error, framing error, and overrun error (if any) are strobed
into the SR from the next byte to be read from the Rx FIFO.
If a break condition is detected (RxD is Low for the entire character
including the stop bit), a character consisting of all zeros will be
loaded into the RxFIFO and the received break bit in the SR is set to
1. The RxD input must return to high for two (2) clock edges of the
X1 crystal clock for the receiver to recognize the end of the break
condition and begin the search for a start bit.
The transmitter converts the parallel data from the CPU to a serial
bit stream on the TxD output pin. It automatically sends a start bit
followed by the programmed number of data bits, an optional parity
bit, and the programmed number of stop bits. The least significant
bit is sent first. Following the transmission of the stop bits, if a new
character is not available in the TxFIFO, the TxD output remains
High and the TxEMT bit in the Status Register (SR) will be set to 1.
Transmission resumes and the TxEMT bit is cleared when the CPU
loads a new character into the TxFIFO.
This will usually require a high time of one X1 clock period or 3 X1
edges since the clock of the controller is not synchronous to the X1
clock.
Transmitter Reset and Disable
Note the difference between transmitter disable and reset. A
transmitter reset stops transmitter action immediately, clears the
transmitter FIFO and returns the idle state. A transmitter disable
withdraws the transmitter interrupts but allows the transmitter to
continue operation until all bytes in its FIFO and shift register have
been transmitted including the final stop bits. It then returns to its
idle state.
If the transmitter is disabled it continues operating until the character
currently being transmitted and any characters in the TxFIFO,
including parity and stop bits, have been transmitted. New data
cannot be loaded to the TxFIFO when the transmitter is disabled.
When the transmitter is reset it stops sending data immediately.
Receiver FIFO
The transmitter can be forced to send a break (a continuous low
condition) by issuing a START BREAK command via the CR
register. The break is terminated by a STOP BREAK command or a
transmitter reset.
The RxFIFO consists of a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) stack with a
capacity of 8 or 16 characters. Data is loaded from the receive shift
register into the topmost empty position of the FIFO. The RxRDY bit
18

in the status register is set whenever one or more characters are
available to be read, and a FFULL status bit is set if all 8 or 16 stack
positions are filled with data. Either of these bits can be selected to
cause an interrupt. A read of the RxFIFO outputs the data at the top
of the FIFO. After the read cycle, the data FIFO and its associated
status bits (see below) are ‘popped’ thus emptying a FIFO position
for new data.
read. This situation may occur at the end of a transmission when the
last few characters received are not sufficient to cause an interrupt.
This counter times out after 64 bit times. It is reset each time a
character is transferred from the receiver shift register to the
RxFIFO or a read of the RxFIFO is executed.
Receiver Time-out Mode
In addition to the watch dog timer described in the receiver section,
the counter/timer may be used for a similar function. Its 16-bit
programmability allows much greater precision of time out intervals.
A disabled receiver with data in its FIFO may generate an interrupt
(see “Receiver Status Bits”, below). Its status bits remain active and
its watchdog, if enabled, will continue to operate.
The time-out mode uses the received data stream to control the
counter. Each time a received character is transferred from the shift
register to the RxFIFO, the counter is restarted. If a new character is
not received before the counter reaches zero count, the counter
ready bit is set, and an interrupt can be generated. This mode can
be used to indicate when data has been left in the RxFIFO for more
than the programmed time limit. Otherwise, if the receiver has been
programmed to interrupt the CPU when the receive FIFO is full, and
the message ends before the FIFO is full, the CPU may not know
there is data left in the FIFO. The CTU and CTL value would be
programmed for just over one character time, so that the CPU would
be interrupted as soon as it has stopped receiving continuous data.
This mode can also be used to indicate when the serial line has
been marking for longer than the programmed time limit. In this
case, the CPU has read all of the characters from the FIFO, but the
last character received has started the count. If there is no new data
during the programmed time interval, the counter ready bit will get
set, and an interrupt can be generated.
Receiver Status Bits
In addition to the data word, three status bits (parity error, framing
error, and received break) are also appended to the data character
in the FIFO. The overrun error, MR1[5], and the change of break
(ISR[2]) are not FIFOed.
The status of the Rx FIFO may be provided in two ways, as
programmed by the error mode control bit in the mode register
(MR1[5]). In the ‘character’ mode, status is provided on a
character-by-character basis; the status applies only to the
character at the top of the FIFO. In the ‘block’ mode, the status
provided in the SR for these three bits is the logical-OR of the status
for all characters coming to the top of the FIFO since the last ‘reset
error’ from the command register was issued. In either mode
reading the SR does not affect the FIFO. The FIFO is ‘popped’ only
when the RxFIFO is read. Therefore the status register should be
read prior to reading the FIFO.
If the FIFO is full when a new character is received, that character is
held in the receive shift register until a FIFO position is available. If
an additional character is received while this state exits, the
contents of the FIFO are not affected; the character previously in the
shift register is lost and the overrun error status bit (SR[4]) will be
set-upon receipt of the start bit of the new (overrunning) character.
The time-out mode is enabled by writing the appropriate command
to the command register. Writing an 0xAn to CR will invoke the
time-out mode for that channel. Writing a ‘Cx’ to CR will disable the
time-out mode. The time-out mode should only be used by one
channel at once, since it uses the C/T. CTU and CTL must be
loaded with a value greater than the normal receive character
period. The time-out mode disables the regular START/STOP
Counter commands and puts the C/T into counter mode under the
control of the received data stream. Each time a received character
is transferred from the shift register to the RxFIFO, the C/T is
stopped after 1 C/T clock, reloaded with the value in CTU and CTL
and then restarted on the next C/T clock. If the C/T is allowed to end
the count before a new character has been received, the counter
ready bit, ISR[3], will be set. If IMR[3] is set, this will generate an
interrupt. Receiving a character after the C/T has timed out will clear
the counter ready bit, ISR[3], and the interrupt. Invoking the ‘Set
Time-out Mode On’ command, CRx = ‘Ax’, will also clear the counter
ready bit and stop the counter until the next character is received.
The receiver can control the deactivation of RTS. If programmed to
operate in this mode, the RTSN output will be negated when a valid
start bit was received and the FIFO is full. When a FIFO position
becomes available, the RTSN output will be re-asserted (set low)
automatically. This feature can be used to prevent an overrun, in the
receiver, by connecting the RTSN output to the CTSN input of the
transmitting device.
If the receiver is disabled, the FIFO characters can be read.
However, no additional characters can be received until the receiver
is enabled again. If the receiver is reset, the FIFO and all of the
receiver status, and the corresponding output ports and interrupt are
reset. No additional characters can be received until the receiver is
enabled again.
Watchdog and Time Out Mode Differences
The watchdog timer is restarted each time a character is read from
or written to the Rx FIFO. It is an indicator that data is in the FIFO
that has not been read. If the Rx FIFO is empty no action occurs. In
the time out mode the C/T is stopped and restarted each time a
character is written to the Rx FIFO. From this point of view the time
out of the C/T is an indication that the data stream has stopped.
After the time out mode is invoked the timer will not start until the
first character is written to the Rx FIFO.
Receiver Reset and Disable
Receiver disable stops the receiver immediately—data being
assembled in the receiver shift register is lost. Data and status in the
FIFO is preserved and may be read. A re-enable of the receiver
after a disable will cause the receiver to begin assembling
characters at the next start bit detected.
A receiver reset will discard the present shift register date, reset the
receiver ready bit (RxRDY), clear the status of the byte at the top of
the FIFO and re-align the FIFO read/write pointers.
Time Out Mode Caution
When operating in the special time out mode, it is possible to
generate what appears to be a “false interrupt”, i.e. an interrupt
without a cause. This may result when a time-out interrupt occurs
and then, BEFORE the interrupt is serviced, another character is
received, i.e., the data stream has started again. (The interrupt
Watchdog
A ‘watchdog timer’ is associated with the receiver. Its interrupt is
enabled by MR0[7]. The purpose of this timer is to alert the control
processor that characters are in the RxFIFO which have not been

latency is longer than the pause in the data stream.) In this case,
when a new character has been received, the counter/timer will be
restarted by the receiver, thereby withdrawing its interrupt. If, at this
time, the interrupt service begins for the previously seen interrupt, a
read of the ISR will show the “Counter Ready” bit not set. If nothing
else is interrupting, this read of the ISR will return a x’00 character.
character if the received A/D bit is a zero (data tag). If enabled, all
received characters are transferred to the CPU via the RxFIFO. In
either case, the data bits are loaded into the data FIFO while the
A/D bit is loaded into the status FIFO position normally used for
parity error (SR[5] ). Framing error, overrun error, and break detect
operate normally whether or not the receiver is enabled.
Multi-drop Mode (9-bit or Wake-Up)
The UART is equipped with a wake up mode for multi-drop
applications. This mode is selected by programming bits MR1[4:3]or
to ‘11’. In this mode of operation, a ‘master’ station transmits an
address character followed by data characters for the addressed
‘slave’ station. The slave station(s) whose receiver(s) that are
normally disabled, examine the received data stream and ‘wakeup’
the CPU (by setting RxRDY) only upon receipt of an address
character. The CPU compares the received address to its station
address and enables the receiver if it wishes to receive the
subsequent data characters. Upon receipt of another address
character, the CPU may disable the receiver to initiate the process
again.
PROGRAMMING
The operation of the UART is programmed by writing control words
into the appropriate registers. Operational feedback is provided via
status registers which can be read by the CPU. The addressing of
the registers is described in Table 1.
The contents of certain control registers are initialized to zero on
RESET. Care should be exercised if the contents of a register are
changed during operation, since certain changes may cause
operational problems.
For example, changing the number of bits per character while the
transmitter is active may cause the transmission of an incorrect
character. In general, the contents of the MR, the CSR, and the
OPCR should only be changed while the receiver(s) and
transmitter(s) are not enabled, and certain changes to the ACR
should only be made while the C/T is stopped.
A transmitted character consists of a start bit, the programmed
number of data bits, and Address/Data (A/D) bit, and the
programmed number of stop bits. The polarity of the transmitted A/D
bit is selected by the CPU by programming bit MR1[2]. MR1[2]= 0
transmits a zero in the A/D bit position, which identifies the
corresponding data bits as data. MR1[2] = 1 transmits a one in the
A/D bit position, which identifies the corresponding data bits as an
address. The CPU should program the mode register prior to
loading the corresponding data bits into the TxFIFO.
The channel has 3 mode registers (MR0, 1, 2) which control the
basic configuration of the channel. Access to these registers is
controlled by independent MR address pointers. These pointers are
set to 0 or 1 by MR control commands in the command register
“Miscellaneous Commands”. Each time the MR registers are
accessed the MR pointer increments, stopping at MR2. It remains
pointing to MR2 until set to 0 or 1 via the miscellaneous commands
of the command register. The pointer is set to 1 on reset for
compatibility with previous Philips Semiconductors UART software.
MR1[2] = 1 transmits a one in the A/D bit position, which identifies
the corresponding data bits as an address. The CPU should
program the mode register prior to loading the corresponding data
bits into the TxFIFO.
Refer to Table 2 for register bit descriptions. The reserved registers
at addresses 0x02 and 0x0A should never be read during normal
operation since they are reserved for internal diagnostics.
In this mode, the receiver continuously looks at the received data
stream, whether it is enabled or disabled. If disabled, it sets the
RxRDY status bit and loads the character into the RxFIFO if the
received A/D bit is a one (address tag), but discards the received

provided on a character-by-character basis; the status applies only
to the character at the top of the FIFO. In the ‘block’ mode, the
status provided in the SR for these bits is the accumulation
(logical-OR) of the status for all characters coming to the top of the
FIFO since the last ‘reset error’ command was issued.
MR1[7]— Receiver Request–to–Send Control (Flow Control)
This bit controls the deactivation of the RTSN output (OP0) by the
receiver. This output is normally asserted by setting OPR[0] and
negated by resetting OPR[0]. Proper automatic operation of flow
control requires OPR[0] to be set to logical 1.
MR1[4:3|— Parity Mode Select
If ‘with parity’ or ‘force parity’ is selected a parity bit is added to the
transmitted character and the receiver performs a parity check on
incoming data MR1[4:3] = 11 selects operation in the special
multi–drop mode described in the Operation section.
MR1[7] = 1 causes RTSN to be negated (OP0 is driven to a ‘1’
[V ]) upon receipt of a valid start bit if the FIFO is full. This is the
CC
MR1[2]— Parity Type Select
This bit selects the parity type (odd or even) if the ‘with parity’ mode
is programmed by MR1[4:3], and the polarity of the forced parity bit
if the ‘force parity’ mode is programmed. It has no effect if the ‘no
parity’ mode is programmed. In the special multi-drop mode it
selects the polarity of the A/D bit.
beginning of the reception of the ninth byte. If the FIFO is not read
before the start of the tenth or 17th byte, an overrun condition will
occur and the tenth or 17th or 17th byte will be lost. However, the bit
in OPR[0] is not reset and RTSN will be asserted again when an
empty FIFO position is available. This feature can be used for flow
control to prevent overrun in the receiver by using the RTSN output
signal to control the CTSN input of the transmitting device.
MR1[1:0]— Bits Per Character Select
This field selects the number of data bits per character to be
transmitted and received. The character length does not include the
start, parity, and stop bits.
MR1[6]—Rx Interrupt Bit 1
Bit 1 of the receiver interrupt control. See description under MR0[6].
MR1[5]— Error Mode Select
This bit selects the operating mode of the three FIFOed status bits
(FE, PE, and received break) for. In the ‘character’ mode, status is

MR2[7:6]— Mode Select
4. The received parity is not checked and is not regenerated for
transmission, i.e., transmitted parity is as received.
The channel of the UART can operate in one of four modes.
MR2[7:6] = 00 is the normal mode, with the transmitter and receiver
operating independently.
5. The receiver must be enabled.
6. Character framing is not checked, and the stop bits are
retransmitted as received.
MR2[7:6] = 01 places the channel in the automatic echo mode,
which automatically retransmits the received data. The following
conditions are true while in automatic echo mode:
7. A received break is echoed as received until the next valid start
bit is detected.
1. Received data is reclocked and retransmitted on the TxD output.
2. The receive clock is used for the transmitter.
The user must exercise care when switching into and out of the
various modes. The selected mode will be activated immediately
upon mode selection, even if this occurs in the middle of a received
or transmitted character. Likewise, if a mode is deselected the
device will switch out of the mode immediately.
3. The receiver must be enabled, but the transmitter needs not be
enabled.
4. The TxRDY and TxEMT status bits are inactive.
5. The received parity is checked, but is not regenerated for
transmission, i.e. transmitted parity bit is as received.
An exception to this occurs when switching out of auto echo or
remote loop back modes. If the de-selection occurs just after the
receiver has sampled the stop bit (indicated in auto echo by
assertion of RxRDY) and the transmitter is enabled, then the
transmitter will remain in auto echo mode until the stop bit(s) have
been re-transmitted.
6. Character framing is checked, but the stop bits are retransmitted
as received.
7. A received break is echoed as received until the next valid start
bit is detected.
In most situations the above is rendered transparent by other
system considerations. However recall that the stop bit sequence
may be very long compared to bus cycles. If rapid reconfiguration of
the transmitter is desired in the above conditions the controlling
system should wait for the TxEMT bit to set or issue a Tx software
reset before reconfiguration begins.
8. CPU to receiver communication continues normally, but the CPU
to transmitter link is disabled.
MR2[7:6] = 10 selects local loop back diagnostic mode. In this
mode:
1. The transmitter output is internally connected to the receiver
input.
MR2[5]— Transmitter Request–to–Send Control
This bit controls the deactivation of the RTSN output (OP0) by the
transmitter. This output is normally asserted by setting OPR[0] and
negated by resetting OPR[0]. MR2[5] = 1 caused OPR[0] to be
reset automatically one bit time after the characters in the transmit
shift register and in the TxFIFO, if any, are completely transmitted
including the programmed number of stop bits, if the transmitter is
not enabled.
2. The transmit clock is used for the receiver.
3. The TxD output is held High.
4. The RxD input is ignored.
5. The transmitter must be enabled, but the receiver need not be
enabled.
6. CPU to transmitter and receiver communications continue
normally.
This feature can be used to automatically terminate the transmission
of a message as follows (“line turnaround”):
1. Program auto–reset mode: MR2[5] = 1.
MR2[7:6] = 11 selects remote loop back diagnostic mode. In this
2. Enable transmitter.
3. Asset RTSN: OPR[0] = 1.
4. Send message.
mode:
1. Received data is reclocked and retransmitted on the TxD
out–put.
2. The receive clock is used for the transmitter.
5. Disable transmitter after the last character is loaded into the
TxFIFO.
3. Received data is not sent to the local CPU, and the error status
conditions are inactive.

6. The last character will be transmitted and OPR[0] will be reset
one bit time after the last stop bit, causing RTSN to be negated.
MR2[3:0]— Stop Bit Length Select
This field programs the length of the stop bit appended to the
transmitted character. Stop bit lengths of 9/16 to 1 and 1–9/16 to 2
bits, in increments of 1/16 bit, can be programmed for character
lengths of 6, 7, and 8 bits. For a character lengths of 5 bits, 1–1/16
to 2 stop bits can be programmed in increments of 1/16 bit. In all
cases, the receiver only checks for a ‘mark’ condition at the center
of the stop bit position (one half-bit time after the last data bit, or
after the parity bit if enabled is sampled).
MR2[4]— Clear-to-Send Control
If this bit is 0, CTSN has no effect on the transmitter. If this bit is a 1,
the transmitter checks the state of CTSN (IP0) the time it is ready to
send a character. If IP0 is asserted (Low), the character is
transmitted. If it is negated (High), the TxD output remains in the
marking state and the transmission is delayed until CTSN goes low.
Changes in CTSN while a character is being transmitted do not
affect the transmission of that character..
If an external 1X clock is used for the transmitter, then MR2[3] = 0
selects one stop bit and MR2[3] = 1 selects two stop bits to be
transmitted.

CR—Command Register
CR is a register used to supply commands to the UART. Multiple
commands can be specified in a single write to CR as long as the
commands are non–conflicting, e.g., the ‘enable transmitter’ and
‘reset transmitter’ commands cannot be specified in a single
command word.

1011
1100
Set MR pointer to ‘0’
Execution of the commands in the upper four bits of this register
must be separated by 3 X1 clock edges. Other reads or writes
(including writes to the lower four bits) may be inserted to achieve
this separation.
Disable Timeout Mode. This command returns control
of the C/T to the regular START/STOP counter com-
mands. It does not stop the counter, or clear any pend-
ing interrupts. After disabling the timeout mode, a ‘Stop
Counter’ command should be issued to force a reset of
the ISR[3] bit
CR[7:4]—Commands
1101
1110
Not used.
0000
0001
No command.
Reset MR pointer. Causes the MR pointer to point to
MR1.
Power Down Mode On. In this mode, the UART oscilla-
tor is stopped and all functions requiring this clock are
suspended. The execution of commands other than
disable power down mode (1111) requires a X1/CLK.
While in the power down mode, do not issue any com-
mands to the CR except the disable power down mode
command. The contents of all registers will be saved
while in this mode. It is recommended that the transmit-
ter and receiver be disabled prior to placing the UART
into power down mode.
0010
Reset receiver. Resets the receiver as if a hardware
reset had been applied. The receiver is disabled and
the FIFO is flushed.
0011
0100
Reset transmitter. Resets the transmitter as if a hard-
ware reset had been applied.
Reset error status. Clears the Received Break, Parity
Error, and Overrun Error bits in the status register
(SR[7:4]). Used in character mode to clear OE status
(although Received Break, PE and FE bits will also be
cleared) and in block mode to clear all error status after
a block of data has been received.
1111
Disable Power Down Mode. This command restarts the
oscillator. After invoking this command, wait for the os-
cillator to start up before writing further commands to
the CR.
0101
0110
Reset break change interrupt. Causes the break detect
change bit in the interrupt status register (ISR[2]) to be
cleared to zero
CR[3]—Disable Transmitter
This command terminates transmitter operation and reset the
TxRDY and TxEMT status bits. However, if a character is being
transmitted or if a character is in the TxFIFO when the transmitter is
disabled, the transmission of the character(s) is completed before
assuming the inactive state.
Start break. Forces the TxD output Low (spacing). If the
transmitter is empty the start of the break condition will
be delayed up to two bit times. If the transmitter is ac-
tive the break begins when transmission of the charac-
ter is completed. If a character is in the TxFIFO, the
start of the break will be delayed until that character, or
any other loaded subsequently are transmitted. The
transmitter must be enabled for this command to be
accepted.
CR[2]—Enable Transmitter
Enables operation of the transmitter. The TxRDY and TxEMT status
bits will be asserted if the transmitter is idle.
0111
Stop break. The TxD line will go High (marking) within
two bit times. TxD will remain High for one bit time be-
fore the next character, if any, is transmitted.
CR[1]—Disable Receiver
This command terminates operation of the receiver immediately—a
character being received will be lost. The command has no effect on
the receiver status bits or any other control registers. If the special
multi-drop mode is programmed, the receiver operates even if it is
disabled. See Operation section.
1000
1001
1010
Assert RTSN. Causes the RTSN output to be asserted
(Low).
Negate RTSN. Causes the RTSN output to be negated
(High)
Set Timeout Mode On. The receiver in this channel will
restart the C/T as the receive character is transferred
from the shift register to the RxFIFO. The C/T is placed
in the counter mode, the START/STOP counter com-
mands are disabled, the counter is stopped, and the
Counter Ready Bit, ISR[3], is reset. (See also Watch-
dog timer description in the receiver section.)
CR[0]—Enable Receiver
Enables operation of the receiver. If not in the special wakeup mode,
this also forces the receiver into the search for start–bit state.

1. These status bits are appended to the corresponding data character in the receive FIFO. A read of the status provides these bits [7:5] from
the top of the FIFO together with bits [4:0]. These bits are cleared by a “reset error status” command. In character mode they are discarded
when the corresponding data character is read from the FIFO. In block error mode, the error–reset command (command 4x or receiver
reset) must used to clear block error conditions.
SR[7]— Received Break
This bit indicates that an all zero character of the programmed
length has been received without a stop bit. Only a single FIFO
position is occupied when a break is received: further entries to the
FIFO are inhibited until the RxD line returns to the marking state for
at least one-half a bit time two successive edges of the internal or
external 1X clock. This will usually require a high time of one X1
clock period or 3 X1 edges since the clock of the controller is
not synchronous to the X1 clock.
This bit is cleared by a ‘reset error status’ command.
SR[3]— Transmitter Empty (TxEMT)
This bit will be set when the transmitter under runs, i.e., both the
TxEMT and TxRDY bits are set. This bit and TxRDY are set when
the transmitter is first enabled and at any time it is re-enabled after
either (a) reset, or (b) the transmitter has assumed the disabled
state. It is always set after transmission of the last stop bit of a
character if no character is in the THR awaiting transmission.
When this bit is set, the ‘change in break’ bit in the ISR (ISR[2]) is
set. ISR[2] is also set when the end of the break condition, as
defined above, is detected.
It is reset when the THR is loaded by the CPU, a pending
transmitter disable is executed, the transmitter is reset, or the
transmitter is disabled while in the under run condition.
The break detect circuitry can detect breaks that originate in the
middle of a received character. However, if a break begins in the
middle of a character, it must persist until at least the end of the next
character time in order for it to be detected.
SR[2]— Transmitter Ready (TxRDY)
This bit, when set, indicates that the transmit FIFO is not full and
ready to be loaded with another character. This bit is cleared when
the transmit FIFO is loaded by the CPU and there are (after this
load) no more empty locations in the FIFO. It is set when a
character is transferred to the transmit shift register. TxRDY is reset
when the transmitter is disabled and is set when the transmitter is
first enabled. Characters loaded to the TxFIFO while this bit is 0 will
be lost. This bit has different meaning from ISR[0].
This bit is reset by command 4 (0100) written to the command
register or by receiver reset.
SR[6]— Framing Error
This bit, when set, indicates that a stop bit was not detected (not a
logical 1) when the corresponding data character in the FIFO was
received. The stop bit check is made in the middle of the first stop bit
position.
SR[1]— FIFO Full (FFULL)
This bit is set when a character is transferred from the receive shift
register to the receive FIFO and the transfer causes the FIFO to
become full, i.e., all eight (or 16) FIFO positions are occupied. It is
reset when the CPU reads the receive FIFO. If a character is waiting
in the receive shift register because the FIFO is full, FFULL will not
be reset when the CPU reads the receive FIFO. This bit has
different meaning from IRS when MR1 6 is programmed to a ‘1’.
SR[5]— Parity Error
This bit is set when the ‘with parity’ or ‘force parity’ mode is
programmed and the corresponding character in the FIFO was
received with incorrect parity.
In the special multi-drop mode the parity error bit stores the receive
A/D (Address/Data) bit.
SR[0]— Receiver Ready (RxRDY)
SR[4]— Overrun Error
This bit indicates that a character has been received and is waiting
in the FIFO to be read by the CPU. It is set when the character is
transferred from the receive shift register to the FIFO and reset
when the CPU reads the receive FIFO, only if (after this read) there
are no more characters in the FIFO – the Rx FIFO becomes empty.
This bit, when set, indicates that one or more characters in the
received data stream have been lost. It is set upon receipt of a new
character when the FIFO is full and a character is already in the
receive shift register waiting for an empty FIFO position. When this
occurs, the character in the receive shift register (and its break
detect, parity error and framing error status, if any) is lost.

an interrupt to the CPU.

corresponding bit in the IMR is a zero, the state of the bit in the ISR

the reading of the ISR – the true status will be provided regardless
of the contents of the IMR. The contents of this register are
initialized to 0x00’ when the UART is reset.
ISR—Interrupt Status Register
This register provides the status of all potential interrupt sources.

ISR[7]—Input Port Change Status
ISR[1]—Rx Interrupt
This bit is a ‘1’ when a change–of–state has occurred at the IP0,
IP1, IP2, or IP3 inputs and that event has been selected to cause an
interrupt by the programming of ACR[3:0]. The bit is cleared when
the CPU reads the IPCR.
This bit indicates that the receiver is interrupting according to the fill
level programmed by the MR0 and MR1 registers. This bit has a
different meaning than the receiver ready/full bit in the status
register.
ISR[6:4]—Not used, Ignore in ISR read.
ISR[0]—Tx Interrupt
This bit indicates that the transmitter is interrupting according to the
interrupt level programmed in the MR0[5:4] bits. This bit has a
different meaning than the TxRDY bit in the status register.
ISR[3]—Counter Ready.
In the counter mode, this bit is set when the counter reaches
terminal count and is reset when the counter is stopped by a stop
counter command.
IMR—Interrupt Mask Register
The programming of this register selects which bits in the ISR
causes an interrupt output. If a bit in the ISR is a ‘1’ and the
corresponding bit in the IMR is also a ‘1’ the INTRN output will be
asserted. If the corresponding bit in the IMR is a zero, the state of
the bit in the ISR has no effect on the INTRN output. Note that the
IMR does not mask the programmable interrupt outputs OP3–OP7
or the reading of the ISR.
In the timer mode, this bit is set once the cycle of the generated
square wave (every other time that the counter/timer reaches zero
count). The bit is reset by a stop counter command. The command,
however, does not stop the counter/timer.
ISR[2]— Change in Break
This bit, when set, indicates that the receiver has detected the
beginning or the end of a received break. It is reset when the CPU
issues a ‘reset break change interrupt’ command.

The CTPU and CTPL hold the eight MSbs and eight Labs,
respectively, of the value to be used by the counter/timer in either
the counter or timer modes of operation. The minimum value which
may be loaded into the CTPU/CTPL registers is H‘0002’. Note that
these registers are write-only and cannot be read by the CPU.
counter are read. However, note that a subsequent start counter
command will cause the counter to begin a new count cycle using
the values in CTPU and CTPL.
When the C/T clock divided by 16 is selected, the maximum divisor
becomes 1,048,575.
In the timer mode, the C/T generates a square wave whose period is
twice the value (in C/T clock periods) of the CTPU and CTPL. The
waveform so generated is often used for a data clock. The formula
for calculating the divisor n to load to the CTPU and CTPL for a
particular 1X data clock is shown below.
Output Port Notes
The output ports are controlled from four places: the OPCR register,
the OPR register, the MR registers and the command register
(except the 2681 and 68681) The OPCR register controls the source
of the data for the output ports OP2 through OP7. The data source
for output ports OP0 and OP1 is controlled by the MR and CR
registers. When the OPR is the source of the data for the output
ports, the data at the ports is inverted from that in the OPR register.
n = (C/T Clock Frequency) divided by (2 x 16 x Baud rate desired)
Often this division will result in a non-integer number; 26.3, for
example. One can only program integer numbers in a digital divider.
Therefore 26 would be chosen. This gives a baud rate error of
0.3/26.3 which is 1.14%; well within the ability asynchronous mode
of operation.
The content of the OPR register is controlled by the “Set Output Port
Bits Command” and the “Reset Output Bits Command”. These
commands are at E and F, respectively. When these commands are
used, action takes place only at the bit locations where ones exist.
For example, a one in bit location 5 of the data word used with the
“Set Output Port Bits” command will result in OPR[5] being set to
one. The OP5 would then be set to zero (V SS ). Similarly, a one in
bit position 5 of the data word associated with the “Reset Output
Ports Bits” command would set OPR[5] to zero and, hence, the pin
The C/T will not be running until it receives an initial ‘Start Counter’
command (read at address A3–A0 = 1110). After this, while in timer
mode, the C/T will run continuously. Receipt of a start counter
command (read with A3–A0 = 1110) causes the counter to terminate
the current timing cycle and to begin a new cycle using the values in
CTPU and CTPL. If the value in CTPU and CTPL is changed, the
current half-period will not be affected, but subsequent half periods
will be affected.
OP5 to a one (V ).
DD
The CTS, RTS, CTS Enable Tx signals
The counter ready status bit (ISR[3]) is set once each cycle of the
square wave. The bit is reset by a stop counter command (read with
A3–A0 = 0xF). The command however, does not stop the C/T. The
generated square wave is output on OP3 if it is programmed to be
the C/T output. In the counter mode, the value C/T loaded into
CTPU and CTPL by the CPU is counted down to 0. Counting begins
upon receipt of a start counter command. Upon reaching terminal
count 0x0000, the counter ready interrupt bit (ISR[3]) is set. The
counter continues counting past the terminal count until stopped by
the CPU. If OP3 is programmed to be the output of the C/T, the
output remains high until terminal count is reached, at which time it
goes low. The output returns to the High state and ISR[3] is cleared
when the counter is stopped by a stop counter command. The CPU
may change the values of CTPU and CTPL at any time, but the new
count becomes effective only on the next start counter commands. If
new values have not been loaded, the previous count values are
preserved and used for the next count cycle.
CTS (Clear To Send) is usually meant to be a signal to the
transmitter meaning that it may transmit data to the receiver. The
CTS input is on pin IP0 for Tx. The CTS signal is active low; thus, it
is called CTSN for TxRTS is usually meant to be a signal from the
receiver indicating that the receiver is ready to receive data. It is
also active low and is, thus, called RTSN for Rx. RTSN is on pin
OP0. A receiver’s RTS output will usually be connected to the CTS
input of the associated transmitter. Therefore, one could say that
RTS and CTS are different ends of the same wire!
MR2[4] is the bit that allows the transmitter to be controlled by the
CTS pin (IP0 or IP1). When this bit is set to one AND the CTS input
is driven high, the transmitter will stop sending data at the end of the
present character being serialized. It is usually the RTS output of the
receiver that will be connected to the transmitter’s CTS input. The
receiver will set RTS high when the receiver FIFO is full AND the
start bit of the ninth or 17th character is sensed. Transmission then
stops with nine or 17 valid characters in the receiver. When MR2[4]
is set to one, CTSN must be at zero for the transmitter to operate. If
MR2[4] is set to zero, the IP pin will have no effect on the operation
of the transmitter. MR1[7] is the bit that allows the receiver to control
OP0. When OP0 (or OP1) is controlled by the receiver, the meaning
of that pin will be.
In the counter mode, the current value of the upper and lower 8 bits
of the counter (CTU, CTL) may be read by the CPU. It is
recommended that the counter be stopped when reading to prevent
potential problems which may occur if a carry from the lower 8 bits
to the upper 8 bits occurs between the times that both halves of the
