PE
Parity Error: Indicates that the received data character does not have the correct even or 
odd parity, as selected by the even parity select bit. PE is set upon detection of a parity 
error and is cleared when the processor reads the LSR. In FIFO mode, PE shows a parity 
error for the character at the front of the FIFO, not the most recently received character. 
0 – No Parity error
1 – Parity error has occurred
1
OE
Overrun Error: In non-FIFO mode, indicates that data in the Receive Buffer Register was 
not read by the processor before the next character was received. The new character is 
lost. In FIFO mode, OE indicates that all 64 bytes of the FIFO are full and the most recently 
received byte has been discarded. The OE indicator is set upon detection of an overrun 
condition and cleared when the processor reads the LSR.
0 – No data has been lost
1 – Received data has been lost
0
DR
Data Ready: Set when a complete incoming character has been received and transferred 
into the Receive Buffer Register or the FIFO. In non-FIFO mode, DR is cleared when the 
receive buffer is read. In FIFO mode, DR is cleared if the FIFO is empty (last character has 
been read from RBR) or the FIFO is reset with FCR[RESETRF].
0 – No data has been received
1 – Data is available in RBR or the FIFO
