4.2.3 Handshake Control Register (HCR) (Read/Write)
This register controls the pins of the UART used for handshaking peripherals such as modem, and
controls the diagnostic mode of the UART.

Bit 4: When this bit is set to a logical 1, the UA RT enters diagnostic mode by an internal loopback, as
follows:
(1) SOUT is forced to logical 1, and SIN is isolated from the communication link instead of the
TSR.
(2) Modem output pins are set to their inactive state.
(3) Modem input pins are isolated from the communication link and connect internally as DTR
(bit 0 of HCR) ® DSR, RTS ( bit 1 of HCR) ® CTS, Loopback RI input ( bit 2 of HCR) ®

and IRQ enable ( bit 3 of HCR) ®
Aside from the above connections, the UART operates normally. This method allows the CPU
to test the UART in a convenient way.
Bit 3: The UART interrupt output is enabled by setting this bit to a logic 1. In the diagnostic mode this bit

is internally connected to the modem control input
Bit 2: This bit is used only in the diagnostic mode. In the diagnostic mode this bit is internally
