The A16450 receives and transmits data in a variety of configurations, including 5-, 6-, 7-, or 8-bit data words; odd, even, or no parity; and 1, 1.5, or 2 stop bits. The A16450 includes an internal baud rate generator and interrupt control. See Figure 1. Figure 1.

See Table 2. The divisor register access bit (drab) allows access to the divisor register. The drab is bit 7 of the line control register. Table 2.

Transmitter Holding Register The transmitter holding register is a write-only register that loads the next data byte to be transmitted by the A16450. Divisor Register The divisor register controls the programmable baud rate generator. The 16-bit divisor performs an integer frequency divide of the input clock. The nbaudout output becomes the transmitter clock that operates at 16 times the baud rate clock. For example, if the input clock is 10 MHz and the divisor register is set to a binary 2 (0000000000000010), the nbaudout will be a 5-MHz output with a 50/50 duty cycle. The effective baud rate will be 1/16th of 5 MHz, or 312,500 baud. In addition, the nbaudout output may be wrapped to the receiver section input clock (rclk) to provide the receiver clock that operates at 16 times the baud rate clock. The A16450 does not support a divide-by-0 operation, which produces the same results as a divide-by-1 operation for the nbaudout output. However, a divide-by-0 operation prevents the transmitter from functioning because an internal signal, baud_en, is not generated. The baud_en signal enables the clock in the transmitter. Interrupt Enable Register The A16450 supports interrupts from four different sources; the interrupt enable register selectively enables or disables interrupts from each of these sources. When a bit is reset to a logic low, the A16450 will not recognize interrupts from that source. Table 3 shows the interrupt enable register format. 70 Altera Corporation A16450 Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter Data Sheet Table 3. Interrupt Enable Register Format Bit 0 Signal rda Description Received data available. When set to a logic high, bit 0 enables interrupts when receive data is loaded in the receiver buffer register. 1 2 3 7..4 thre Transmitter holding register empty. When set to a logic high, bit 1 enables interrupts when the transmitter holding register is empty. rls ms - Receiver line status. When set to a logic high, bit 2 enables interrupts when the receiver line status register changes state. Modem status. When set to a logic high, bit 3 enables interrupts when the modem status register changes state. Read-only bits that are always set to a logic low. Interrupt Identification Register The A16450 has a priority encoding scheme for its four interrupt sources. Table 4 shows the encoding scheme for each of the interrupts, their priority, and the reset mechanism for each interrupt source. When set to a logic low, bit 0 indicates that an interrupt is pending. Bits 1 and 2 indicate the interrupt priority, and bits 3 through 7 are read-only bits that are always set to a logic low. Clearing an interrupt source does not affect any lower priority interrupts that might be pending. When the interrupt identification register is accessed, the highest priority interrupt at the beginning of the access is recorded in the register. Other interrupts, including those of higher priority, are recorded but are not recognized until the current register access is complete.

Line Control Register The line control register sets the data and communication formats used by the A16450. See Table 5. 72 Altera Corporation A16450 Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter Data Sheet Table 5. Line Control Register Format Bit 1..0 2 3 Description Word length control. Sets the length of the word associated with each transmitted or received word. See Table 6. Stop control bit. Controls the number of stop bits generated by the transmitter section. The receiver circuitry checks for the first stop bit only, regardless of the state of bit 2. See Table 7. Parity enable. When set to a logic high, parity generation in the transmitter section and parity checking in the receiver section are enabled. The parity bit is inserted between the last word bit and the first stop bit. Parity even/odd. When set to a logic high, even parity is enabled; when set to a logic low, odd parity is enabled. Stick parity. Forces the parity bit to a known value. If parity is enabled and even parity is selected, the transmitter section will transmit the parity bit as a logic low. Then, the receiver section checks that the incoming parity bit is set to logic low. Break control. When set, bit 6 forces the A16450 to transmit a break condition. The sout output is forced to a logic low state for longer than one full word transmission. Disable the break by clearing bit 6, which causes sout to return to a logic high. The sout output is set to a logic high upon master reset. Divisor register access bit (drab). This bit must be set high to access the divisor registers. A low enables access to the receiver buffer and transmitter holding registers. 4 5 6 7 Table 6 lists the word length associated with bits 0 and 1. Table 6.

The user can program the out1 bit to control the nout1 output. Output 2. The user can program the out2 bit to control the nout2 output. Enable loopback. When high, bit 4 causes the following: s The sout output is set to a logic high. s The sin input is disconnected (i.e., ignored). s The output of the transmitter shift register is internally connected (loopbacked) to the receiver shift register input. s The modem control inputs are disconnected (i.e., ignored). s The modem control outputs are used internally in place of the modem control inputs. Not used. These read-only bits are always set to a logic low. 7..5 - Line Status Register The line status register enables the host processor to examine data transfers.

When bit 0 is set to a logic high, a receive data available interrupt is generated. Bit 0 is cleared by reading the receiver buffer register. Overrun error.

Indicates that newly received data had an invalid stop bit. When bit 3 is set to a logic high, a receiver line status interrupt is generated. Bit 2 is cleared by reading the line status register. Break interrupt. Indicates that a break condition was detected on the serial input. A break condition occurs when the serial data in (sin) is held at logic low for longer than one full word transmission. When bit 4 is set to a logic high, a receiver line status interrupt is generated. Bit 4 is cleared by reading the line status register. 1 oe 2 pe 3 fe 4 bi 5 thre Transmitter holding register empty.

Indicates that the transmitter holding register and the transmitter shift register are both empty. Not used. This read-only bit is always set to a logic low. 6 7 Modem Status Register The modem status register enables the microprocessr to examine the condition of the modem interface inputs.

The dout[7..0] bus is the direct output of the output data multiplexer, and is not tri-stated or otherwise affected by the rd or nrd inputs. In the A16450 megafunction, the address registers are implemented as registers, as opposed to latches in the NS16450 device. These registers use clk as the clock source and nads as a clock enable. The A16450 megafunction uses a single clk input as the primary clock source. The NS16450 device uses the crystal oscillator interface (xin input and xout output) as the primary clock source.
