6.3.4.2.8 Line Status Register (LSR)
This register provides status information to the processor concerning the data transfers. Bits 5
and 6 show information about the transmitter section. The rest of the bits contain information
about the receiver.
In non-FIFO mode, three of the LSR register bits, parity error, framing error, and break
interrupt, show the error status of the character that has just been received. In FIFO mode,
these three bits of status are stored with each received character in the FIFO. LSR shows the
status bits of the character at the top of the FIFO. When the character at the top of the FIFO has
errors, the LSR error bits are set and are not cleared until software reads LSR, even if the
character in the FIFO is read and a new character is now at the top of the FIFO.
4 Local loop back diagnostic control
When loop back is activated: Transmitter TXD is set high.
Receiver RXD is disconnected. Output of Transmitter Shift
register is looped back into the receiver shift register input.
Modem control inputs are disconnected Modem control
outputs are internally connected to modem control inputs.
Modem control outputs are forced to the inactive (high) levels:
1: Loop back mode activated
0: Normal operation 0 LPC: r/w
5 Autoflow control enable (AFE):
1: Autoflow control enabled (auto-RTS# and auto-CTS# or auto-
CTS# only
enabled)
0: Autoflow control disabled 0 LPC: r/w
7:6 Reserved 0 LPC: r
