SERIAL PORT (UART)
The FDC37C93xFR incorporates two full
function UARTs. They are compatible with the
NS16450, the 16450 ACE registers and the
"1". OUT2 being a logic "0" disables that
UART's interrupt. The second UART also
supports IrDA, HP-SIR, ASK-IR, Fast IR and
Consumer IR infrared modes of operation.

characters. The data rates are independently-
programmable from 460.8K baud down to 50
baud. The character options are programmable
for 1 start; 1, 1.5 or 2 stop bits; even, odd, sticky
or no parity; and prioritized interrupts. The
UARTs each contain a programmable baud rate
generator that is capable of dividing the input
clock or crystal by a number from 1 to 65535.
The UARTs are also capable of supporting the
MIDI data rate. Refer to the Configuration
Registers for information on disabling, power
down and changing the base address of the
UARTs. The interrupt from a UART is enabled
by programming, OUT2 of that UART to a logic
REGISTER DESCRIPTION
Addressing of the accessible registers of the
Serial Port is shown below.
The base
addresses of the serial ports are defined by the
configuration registers (see Configuration
section). The Serial Port registers are located at
sequentially increasing addresses above these
base addresses. The FDC37C93xFR contains
two serial ports, each of which contain a register
set as described below.
