8 ST16C552/552a rev. 3.30 symbol pin signal type pin description tx a/b 26,10 o transmit data, tx a-b - these outputs are associated with individual serial transmit channel(s) from the 552/552a. the tx signal will be a logic 1 during reset, idle (no data), or when the transmitter is disabled. during the local loop- back mode, the tx output pins are disabled and tx data is internally connected to the uart rx inputs. general description the 552/552a provides serial asynchronous receive data synchronization, parallel-to-serial and serial-to- parallel data conversions for both the transmitter and receiver sections. these functions are necessary for converting the serial data stream into parallel data that is required with digital data systems. synchronization for the serial data stream is accomplished by adding start and stops bits to the transmit data to form a data character (character orientated protocol). data integ- rity is insured by attaching a parity bit to the data character. the parity bit is checked by the receiver for any transmission bit errors. the electronic circuitry to provide all these functions is fairly complex especially when manufactured on a single integrated silicon chip. the 552/552a represents such an integration with greatly enhanced features. the 552/552a is fabricated with an advanced cmos process. the 552/552a is an upward solution that provides 16 bytes of transmit and receive fifo memory, instead of none in the 16c452. the 552/552a is designed to work with high speed modems and shared network environments, that require fast data processing time. increased performance is realized in the 552/552a by the transmit and receive fifo?s. this allows the external processor to handle more networking tasks within a given time. for example, the st16c452 without a receive fifo, will require unloading of the rhr in 95.5 microseconds (this example uses a character length of 11 bits, including start/stop bits at 115.2kbps). this means the external cpu will have to service the receive fifo every 100 microseconds. however with the 16 byte fifo in the 552/552a, the data buffer will not require unloading/loading for 1.53 ms. this increases the service interval giving the external cpu additional time for other applications and reducing the overall uart interrupt servicing time. in addition, the 4 selectable levels of fifo trigger interrupt is uniquely provided for maximum data throughput performance especially when operat- ing in a multi-channel environment. the fifo memory greatly reduces the bandwidth requirement of the external controlling cpu, increases perfor- mance, and reduces power consumption. the 552/552a combines the package functions of a dual uart and a printer interface on a single inte- grated chip. the 552/552a uart is indented to be software compatible with the ins8250/ns16c550 while the bi-directional printer interface mode is in- tended to operate with a centronics type parallel printer. however, the printer interface is designed such that it may be configured to operate with other parallel printer interfaces or used as a general purpose parallel interface. the 552/552a is available in two versions, the ST16C552 and the ST16C552a. the 552a provides a active low (logic 0) interrupt for the printer port (intp) while the 552 provides an active high (logic 1) intp interrupt. additionally, the 552a does not support the power down feature.
9 ST16C552/552a rev. 3.30 the 552/552a is capable of operation to 1.5mbps with a 24 mhz external clock input. with an external clock input of 1.8432 mhz the user can select data rates up to 115.2 kbps. the rich feature set of the 552/552a is available through internal registers. selectable receive fifo trigger levels, selectable tx and rx baud rates, modem interface controls, and a power-down mode are all standard features. following a power on reset or an external reset, the 552/552a is software compat- ible with the previous generation, 16c452. functional descriptions functional modes two functional user modes are selectable for the 552/ 552a package. the first of these provides the dual uart functions, while the other provides the func- tions of a parallel printer interface. these features are available through selection at the package interface select pins. uart a-b functions the uart mode provides the user with the capability to transfer information between an external cpu and the 552/552a package. a logic 0 on chip select pins - csa or -csb allows the user to configure, send data, and/or receive data via the uart channels a-b. printer port functions the printer mode provides the user with the capability to transfer information between an external cpu and the 552/552a parallel printer port. a logic 0 on chip select pin -csp allows the user to configure, send data, and/or receive data via the bi-directional parallel 8-bit data bus, pd0-pd7. internal registers the 552/552a provides 12 internal registers for moni- toring and control of the uart functions and another 6 registers for monitoring and controlling the printer port. these resisters are shown in table 4 below. the uart registers function as data holding registers (thr/rhr), interrupt status and control registers (ier/isr), a fifo control register (fcr), line status and control registers (lcr/lsr), modem status and control registers (mcr/msr), programmable data rate (clock) control registers (dll/dlm), and a user assessable scratchpad register (spr). the printer port registers functions data holding registers (pr), i/ o status register (sr), i/o select register (iosel), and a command and control register (com/con). regis- ter functions are more fully described in the following paragraphs.

11 ST16C552/552a rev. 3.30 fifo operation the 16 byte transmit and receive data fifo?s are enabled by the fifo control register (fcr) bit-0. the user can set the receive trigger level via fcr bits 6/ 7 but not the transmit trigger level. the transmit interrupt trigger level is set to 16 following a reset. the receiver fifo section includes a time-out function to ensure data is delivered to the external cpu. an interrupt is generated whenever the receive holding register (rhr) has not been read following the load- ing of a character or the receive trigger level has not been reached. hardware/software and time-out interrupts the interrupts are enabled by ier bits 0-3. care must be taken when handling these interrupts. following a reset the transmitter interrupt is enabled, the 552/ 552a will issue an interrupt to indicate that transmit holding register is empty. this interrupt must be serviced prior to continuing operations. the lsr register provides the current singular highest priority interrupt only. it could be noted that cts and rts interrupts have lowest interrupt priority. a condition can exist where a higher priority interrupt may mask the lower priority cts/rts interrupt(s). only after servicing the higher pending interrupt will the lower priority cts/ rts interrupt(s) be reflected in the status register. servicing the interrupt without investigating further interrupt conditions can result in data errors. when two interrupt conditions have the same priority, it is important to service these interrupts correctly. receive data ready and receive time out have the same interrupt priority (when enabled by ier bit-3). the receiver issues an interrupt after the number of characters have reached the programmed trigger level. in this case the 552/552a fifo may hold more characters than the programmed trigger level. follow- ing the removal of a data byte, the user should recheck lsr bit-0 for additional characters. a receive time out will not occur if the receive fifo is empty. the time out counter is reset at the center of each stop bit received or each time the receive holding register (rhr) is read (see figure 4, receive time-out inter- rupt). the actual time out value is t ( t ime out length in bits) = 4 x p ( p rogrammed word length) + 12. to convert the time out value to a character value, the user has to consider the complete word length, includ- ing data information length, start bit, parity bit, and the size of stop bit, i.e., 1x, 1.5x, or 2x bit times. example -a: if the user programs a word length of 7, with no parity and one stop bit, the time out will be: t = 4 x 7( programmed word length) +12 = 40 bit times. the character time will be equal to 40 / 9 = 4.4 characters, or as shown in the fully worked out ex- ample: t = [(programmed word length = 7) + (stop bit = 1) + (start bit = 1) = 9]. 40 (bit times divided by 9) = 4.4 characters. example -b: if the user programs the word length = 7, with parity and one stop bit, the time out will be: t = 4 x 7(programmed word length) + 12 = 40 bit times. character time = 40 / 10 [ (programmed word length = 7) + (parity = 1) + (stop bit = 1) + (start bit = 1) = 4 characters. programmable baud rate generator the 552/552a supports high speed modem technolo- gies that have increased input data rates by employing data compression schemes. for example a 33.6kbps modem that employs data compression may require a 115.2kbps input data rate. a 128.0kbps isdn modem that supports data compression may need an input data rate of 460.8kbps. the 552/552a can support a standard data rate of 921.6kbps. single baud rate generator is provided for the trans- mitter and receiver, allowing independent tx/rx channel control. the programmable baud rate gen- erator is capable of accepting an input clock up to 24 mhz, as required for supporting a 1.5mbps data rate. the 552/552a requires that an external clock source be connected to the clk input pin to clock the internal baud rate generator for standard or custom rates. (see baud rate generator programming below). the generator divides the input 16x clock by any divisor from 1 to 2 16 -1. the 552/552a divides the basic external clock by 16. the basic 16x clock provides table rates to support standard and custom applica-
12 ST16C552/552a rev. 3.30 tions using the same system design. the rate table is configured via the dll and dlm internal register functions. customized baud rates can be achieved by selecting the proper divisor values for the msb and lsb sections of baud rate generator. programming the baud rate generator registers dlm (msb) and dll (lsb) provides a user capability for selecting the desired final baud rate. the example in table 5 below, shows the selectable baud rate table available when using a 1.8432 mhz external clock input. table 5, baud rate generator programming table (1.8432 mhz clock): output output user dlm dll baud rate 16 x clock 16 x clock program program mcr divisor divisor value value (decimal) (hex) (hex) (hex) 50 2304 900 09 00 110 1047 417 04 17 150 768 300 03 00 300 384 180 01 80 600 192 c0 00 c0 1200 96 60 00 60 2400 48 30 00 30 4800 24 18 00 18 7200 16 10 00 10 9600 12 0c 00 0c 19.2k 6 06 00 06 38.4k 3 03 00 03 57.6k 2 02 00 02 115.2k 1 01 00 01
13 ST16C552/552a rev. 3.30 dma operation the 552/552a fifo trigger level provides additional flexibility to the user for block mode operation. lsr bits 5-6 provide an indication when the transmitter is empty or has an empty location(s). the user can optionally operate the transmit and receive fifo?s in the dma mode (fcr bit-3). when the transmit and receive fifo?s are enabled and the dma mode is deactivated (dma mode ?0?), the 552/552a activates the interrupt output pin for each data transmit or receive operation. when dma mode is activated (dma mode ?1?), the user takes the advantage of block mode operation by loading or unloading the fifo in a block sequence determined by the receive trigger level and the transmit fifo. in this mode, the 552/552a sets the interrupt output pin when charac- ters in the transmit fifo is below 16, or the characters in the receive fifo?s are above the receive trigger level. power down mode the 552 is designed to operate with low power con- sumption. the 552 (only) is designed with a special power down mode to further reduce power consump- tion when the chip is not being used. when mcr bit- 7 and ier bit-5 are enabled (set to a logic 1), the 552 powers down. the use of two power down enable bits helps to prevent accidental software shut-down. the 552 will remain powered down until disabled by setting either ier bit-5 or mcr bit-7 to a logic 0. loop-back mode the internal loop-back capability allows onboard diag- nostics. in the loop-back mode the normal modem interface pins are disconnected and reconfigured for loop-back internally. mcr register bits 0-3 are used for controlling loop-back diagnostic testing. in the loop-back mode int enable and mcr bit-2 in the mcr register (bits 2,3) control the modem -ri and -cd inputs respectively. mcr signals -dtr and -rts (bits 0-1) are used to control the modem -cts and -dsr inputs respectively. the transmitter output (tx) and the receiver input (rx) are disconnected from their associated interface pins, and instead are connected together internally (see figure 6). the -cts, -dsr, - cd, and -ri are disconnected from their normal modem control inputs pins, and instead are connected internally to -dtr, -rts, int enable and mcr bit-2. loop-back test data is entered into the transmit hold- ing register via the user data bus interface, d0-d7. the transmit uart serializes the data and passes the serial data to the receive uart via the internal loop- back connection. the receive uart converts the serial data back into parallel data that is then made available at the user data interface, d0-d7. the user optionally compares the received data to the initial transmitted data for verifying error free operation of the uart tx/rx circuits. in this mode, the receiver and transmitter interrupts are fully operational. the modem control interrupts are also operational. however, the interrupts can only be read using lower four bits of the modem control register (mcr bits 0-3) instead of the four modem status register bits 4-7. the interrupts are still con- trolled by the ier.

15 ST16C552/552a rev. 3.30 have internal pull-up resistors and can be wire-or?d. normally, -strobe is used to strobe pd0-pd7 bus data into a printer input buffer. -slctin normally selects the printer while autofdxt signals the printer to auto-linefeed. other signals provide similar printer functions but are not bi-directional. the printer func- tions for these signals are described in table 1, symbol description. the interface provides a mode steering signal called biden. biden controls the bi-directional 8-bit data bus (pd0-pd7) direction, input or output. when biden is a logic 1 a single control bit (d5) in the control register sets the input or output mode. setting biden to a logic 0 however sets an ibm interface compatible mode. in this mode the bus direction (input/output) is set by eight data bits in the iosel register. an aa (hex) pattern sets the input mode while a 55 (hex) pattern sets the output mode. i/o direction is depicted in table 6 below. printer port the 552/552a contains a general purpose 8-bit paral- lel interface port that is designed to directly interface with a centronics printer. a number of the control/ interrupt signals and the 8-bit data bus have been designed as bi-directional data buses. this allows the interface to function with other device parallel data bus applications. signal -ack is used to generate an -intp interface interrupt that would normally be con- nected to the user cpu. -intp can be made to follow the -ack signal, normal mode (see figure 7) or it can be configured for the latch mode. in the latch mode the interrupt is not cleared until printer status register (sr) is read. another signal (init) can be made to function as an outgoing or incoming interrupt, or combined with other interrupts to provide a common wire-or interrupt output. interface signals -strobe, -autofdxt, and -slctin are bi-directional and can be used as combi- nations of input and/or output functions. the signals table 6, pd0-pd7 i/o direction mode selection port direction biden control register (d5) i/o select register input mode 0 x (note 4) aa hex output mode 0 x (note 4) 55 hex output mode 1 0 x (note 4) input mode 1 1 x (note 4) note: 4 = don?t care

18 ST16C552/552a rev. 3.30 interrupt enable register (ier) the interrupt enable register (ier) masks the inter- rupts from receiver ready, transmitter empty, line status and modem status registers. these interrupts would normally be seen on the int a,b output pins. ier vs receive fifo interrupt mode operation when the receive fifo (fcr bit-0 = a logic 1) and receive interrupts (ier bit-0 = logic 1) are enabled, the receive interrupts and register status will reflect the following: a) the receive data available interrupts are issued to the external cpu when the fifo has reached the programmed trigger level. it will be cleared when the fifo drops below the programmed trigger level. b) fifo status will also be reflected in the user accessible isr register when the fifo trigger level is reached. both the isr register status bit and the interrupt will be cleared when the fifo drops below the trigger level. c) the data ready bit (lsr bit-0) is set as soon as a character is transferred from the shift register to the receive fifo. it is reset when the fifo is empty. ier vs receive/transmit fifo polled mode op- eration when fcr bit-0 equals a logic 1; resetting ier bits 0-3 enables the 552/552a in the fifo polled mode of operation. since the receiver and transmitter have separate bits in the lsr either or both can be used in the polled mode by selecting respective transmit or receive control bit(s). a) lsr bit-0 will be a logic 1 as long as there is one byte in the receive fifo. b) lsr bit 1-4 will provide the type of errors encoun- tered, if any. c) lsr bit-5 will indicate when the transmit fifo is empty. d) lsr bit-6 will indicate when both the transmit fifo and transmit shift register are empty. e) lsr bit-7 will indicate any fifo data errors. ier bit-0: this interrupt will be issued when the fifo has reached the programmed trigger level or is cleared when the fifo drops below the trigger level in the fifo mode of operation. logic 0 = disable the receiver ready interrupt. (normal default condition) logic 1 = enable the receiver ready interrupt. ier bit-1: this interrupt will be issued whenever the thr is empty and is associated with bit-1 in the lsr register. logic 0 = disable the transmitter empty interrupt. (normal default condition) logic 1 = enable the transmitter empty interrupt. ier bit-2: this interrupt will be issued whenever a fully as- sembled receive character is transferred from the rsr to the rhr/fifo, i.e., data ready, lsr bit-0. logic 0 = disable the receiver line status interrupt. (normal default condition) logic 1 = enable the receiver line status interrupt. ier bit-3: logic 0 = disable the modem status register interrupt. (normal default condition) logic 1 = enable the modem status register interrupt. ier bit -4: not used - initialized to a logic 0. ier bit-5: (ST16C552 only) logic 0 = disable the power down mode. (normal default condition). the ST16C552a does not support the power down mode and this bit is set to ?0?. logic 1 = enable the power down mode (mcr bit-7 must also be a logic 1 before power down will be activated).
19 ST16C552/552a rev. 3.30 ier bit 6-7: not used - initialized to a logic 0. fifo control register (fcr) this register is used to enable the fifo?s, clear the fifo?s, set the receive fifo trigger levels, and select the dma mode. the dma, and fifo modes are defined as follows: dma mode mode 0 set and enable the interrupt for each single transmit or receive operation, and is similar to the st16c450 mode. transmit ready (-txrdy) will go to a logic 0 when ever an empty transmit space is available in the transmit holding register (thr). receive ready (-rxrdy) will go to a logic 0 when- ever the receive holding register (rhr) is loaded with a character. mode 1 set and enable the interrupt in a block mode operation. the transmit interrupt is set when the transmit fifo is below the programmed trigger level. -txrdy remains a logic 0 as long as one empty fifo location is available. the receive interrupt is set when the receive fifo fills to the programmed trigger level. however the fifo continues to fill regardless of the programmed level until the fifo is full. -rxrdy remains a logic 0 as long as the fifo fill level is above the programmed trigger level. fcr bit-0: logic 0 = disable the transmit and receive fifo. (normal default condition) logic 1 = enable the transmit and receive fifo. this bit must be a ?1? when other fcr bits are written to or they will not be programmed. fcr bit-1: logic 0 = no fifo receive reset. (normal default condition) logic 1 = clears the contents of the receive fifo and resets the fifo counter logic (the receive shift regis- ter is not cleared or altered). this bit will return to a logic 0 after clearing the fifo. fcr bit-2: logic 0 = no fifo transmit reset. (normal default condition) logic 1 = clears the contents of the transmit fifo and resets the fifo counter logic (the transmit shift regis- ter is not cleared or altered). this bit will return to a logic 0 after clearing the fifo. fcr bit-3: logic 0 = set dma mode ?0?. (normal default condi- tion) logic 1 = set dma mode ?1.? transmit operation in mode ?0?: when the 552/552a is in the st16c450 mode (fifo?s disabled, fcr bit-0 = logic 0) or in the fifo mode (fifo?s enabled, fcr bit-0 = logic 1, fcr bit-3 = logic 0) and when there are no characters in the transmit fifo or transmit holding register, the -txrdy pin will be a logic 0. once active the -txrdy pin will go to a logic 1 after the first character is loaded into the transmit holding register. receive operation in mode ?0?: when the 552/552a is in mode ?0? (fcr bit-0 = logic 0) or in the fifo mode (fcr bit-0 = logic 1, fcr bit- 3 = logic 0) and there is at least one character in the receive fifo, the -rxrdy pin will be a logic 0. once active the -rxrdy pin will go to a logic 1 when there are no more characters in the receiver. transmit operation in mode ?1?: when the 552/552a is in fifo mode ( fcr bit-0 = logic 1, fcr bit-3 = logic 1 ), the -txrdy pin will be a logic 1 when the transmit fifo is completely full. it will be a logic 0 if one or more fifo locations are empty. receive operation in mode ?1?: when the 552/552a is in fifo mode (fcr bit-0 = logic 1, fcr bit-3 = logic 1) and the trigger level has been reached, or a receive time out has occurred, the - rxrdy pin will go to a logic 0. once activated, it will go to a logic 1 after there are no more characters in the fifo.

(normal default condition) logic 1 = a parity bit is generated during the transmis- sion, receiver checks the data and parity for transmis- sion errors. lcr bit-4: if the parity bit is enabled with lcr bit-3 set to a logic 1, lcr bit-4 selects the even or odd parity format. logic 0 = odd parity is generated by forcing an odd number of logic 1?s in the transmitted data. the receiver must be programmed to check the same format. (normal default condition) logic 1 = even parity is generated by forcing an even the number of logic 1?s in the transmitted. the receiver must be programmed to check the same format. lcr bit-5: if the parity bit is enabled, lcr bit-5 selects the forced parity format. lcr bit-5 = logic 0, parity is not forced. (normal default condition) lcr bit-5 = logic 1 and lcr bit-4 = logic 0, parity bit is forced to a logical 1 for the transmit and receive data. lcr bit-5 = logic 1 and lcr bit-4 = logic 1, parity bit is forced to a logical 0 for the transmit and receive data.

(normal default condi- tion) logic 1 = the receiver received a break signal (rx was a logic 0 for one character frame time). in the fifo mode, only one break character is loaded into the fifo. lsr bit-5: this bit is the transmit holding register empty indi- cator. this bit indicates that the uart is ready to accept a new character for transmission. in addition, this bit causes the uart to issue an interrupt to cpu when the thr interrupt enable is set. the thr bit is set to a logic 1 when a character is transferred from the transmit holding register into the transmitter shift register. the bit is reset to logic 0 concurrently with the loading of the transmitter holding register by the cpu. in the fifo mode this bit is set when the transmit fifo is empty; it is cleared when at least 1 byte is written to the transmit fifo. lsr bit-6: this bit is the transmit empty indicator. this bit is set to a logic 1 whenever the transmit holding register and the transmit shift register are both empty. it is reset to logic 0 whenever either the thr or tsr contains a data character. in the fifo mode this bit is set to one whenever the transmit fifo and transmit shift register are both empty. lsr bit-7: logic 0 = no error. (normal default condition) logic 1 = at least one parity error, framing error or break indication is in the current fifo data. this bit is cleared when rhr register is read. modem status register (msr) this register provides the current state of the control interface signals from the modem, or other peripheral device that the 552/552a is connected to. four bits of this register are used to indicate the changed informa- tion. these bits are set to a logic 1 whenever a control input from the modem changes state. these bits are set to a logic 0 whenever the cpu reads this register. msr bit-0: logic 0 = no -cts change (normal default condition) logic 1 = the -cts input to the 552/552a has changed state since the last time it was read. a modem status interrupt will be generated. msr bit-1: logic 0 = no -dsr change.
