The TL16C750 is a functional upgrade of the TL16C550C asynchronous communications element (ACE),
which in turn is a functional upgrade of the TL16C450. Functionally equivalent to the TL16C450 on power up
(character or TL16C450 mode), the TL16C750, like the TL16C550C, can be placed in an alternate mode (FIFO
mode). This relieves the CPU of excessive software overhead by buffering received and transmitted characters.
The receiver and transmitter FIFOs store up to 64 bytes including three additional bits of error status per byte
for the receiver FIFO. The user can choose between a 16-byte FIFO mode or an extended 64-byte FIFO mode.
In the FIFO mode, there is a selectable autoflow control feature that can significantly reduce software overload
and increase system efficiency by automatically controlling serial data flow through the RTS
input signals (see Figure 1).
The TL16C750 performs serial-to-parallel conversion on data received from a peripheral device or modem and
parallel-to-serial conversion on data received from its CPU. The CPU can read the ACE status at any time. The
ACE includes complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt system that can be tailored to
minimize software management of the communications link.

description (continued)
The TL16C750 ACE includes a programmable baud rate generator capable of dividing a reference clock by
16
divisors from 1 to (2
– 1) and producing a 16× reference clock for the internal transmitter logic. Provisions are
also included to use this 16 × clock for the receiver logic. The ACE accommodates a 1-Mbaud serial rate
(16-MHz input clock) so a bit time is 1 µs and a typical character time is 10 µs (start bit, 8 data bits, stop bit).
Two of the TL16C450 terminal functions have been changed to TXRDY
and RXRDY, which provide signaling
to a direct memory access (DMA) controller.

data flow control originates in the receiver timing and control block (see functional block diagram)
and is linked to the programmed receiver FIFO trigger level. When the receiver FIFO level reaches a trigger level
of 1, 4, 8, or 14 in 16-byte mode or 1, 16, 32, or 56 in 64-byte mode, RTS
is deasserted. The sending ACE may
send an additional byte after the trigger level is reached (assuming the sending ACE has another byte to send)
because it may not recognize the deassertion of RTS
until after it has begun sending the additional byte. RTS
is automatically reasserted once the receiver FIFO is emptied by reading the receiver buffer register. The
reassertion signals the sending ACE to continue transmitting data.

SLLS191C – JANUARY 1995 – REVISED DECEMBER 1997
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
FIFO control register (FCR)
The FCR is a write-only register at the same location as the IIR, which is a read-only register. The FCR enables
the FIFOs, clears the FIFOs, sets the receiver FIFO trigger level, and selects the type of DMA signaling.
D
Bit 0: FCR0 when set enables the transmit and receive FIFOs. This bit must be set when other FCR bits
are written to or they are not programmed. Changing this bit clears the FIFOs.
D
Bit 1: FCR1 when set clears all bytes in the receiver FIFO and resets its counter . The RSR is not cleared.
The logic 1 that is written to this bit position is self clearing.
D
Bit 2: FCR2 when set clears all bytes in the transmit FIFO and resets its counter to 0. The TSR is not
cleared. The logic 1 that is written to this bit position is self clearing.
D
Bit 3: When FCR0 is set, setting FCR3 causes the RXRDY and TXRDY to change from mode 0 to
mode 1.
D
Bit 4: Reserved for future use.
D
Bit 5: When this bit is set 64-byte mode of operation is selected. When cleared, the 16-byte mode is
selected. A write to FCR bit 5 is protected by setting the line control register (LCR) bit 7 = 1. LCR bit 7 needs
to cleared for normal operation.
D
Bits 6 and 7: FCR6 and FCR7 set the trigger level for the receiver FIFO interrupt (see Table 4).

FIFO interrupt mode operation
When the receiver FIFO and receiver interrupts are enabled (FCR0 = 1, IER0 = 1, IER2 = 1), a receiver interrupt
occurs as follows:
1. The received data available interrupt is issued to the microprocessor when the FIFO has reached its
programmed trigger level. It is cleared when the FIFO drops below its programmed trigger level.
2. The IIR receive data available indication also occurs when the FIFO trigger level is reached, and as the
interrupt, is cleared when the FIFO drops below the trigger level.
3. The receiver line status interrupt (IIR = 06 or 0110h) has higher priority than the received data available (IIR
= 04) interrupt.
4. The data ready bit (LSR0) is set when a character is transferred from the shift register to the receiver FIFO.
It is cleared when the FIFO is empty.
When the receiver FIFO and receiver interrupts are enabled:

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
FIFO interrupt mode operation (continued)
1. FIFO time-out interrupt occurs when the following conditions exist:
a. At least one character is in the FIFO.
b. The most recent serial character was received more than four continuous character times ago (if two
stop bits are programmed, the second one is included in this time delay).
c.The most recent microprocessor read of the FIFO occurred more than four continuous character times
ago. This causes a maximum character received to interrupt an issued delay of 160 ms at
300 baud with a 12-bit character.
2. Character times are calculated by using RCLK for a clock signal (makes the delay proportional to the baud
rate).
3. When a time-out interrupt has occurred, the FIFO interrupt is cleared. The timer is reset when the
microprocessor reads one character from the receiver FIFO. When a time-out interrupt has not occurred,
the time-out timer is reset after a new character is received or after the microprocessor reads the receiver
FIFO.
TL16C750
When the transmitter FIFO and THRE interrupt are enabled (FCR0 = 1, IER1 = 1), transmit interrupts occur as
follows:
1. The transmitter holding register interrupt [IIR (3 –0) = 2] occurs when the transmit FIFO is empty. The
transmit FIFO is cleared [IIR (3–0) = 1] when the THR is written to (1 to 16 characters may be written to
the transmit FIFO while servicing this interrupt) or the IIR is read.
2. The transmit FIFO empty indicator (LSR5 (THRE) = 1) is delayed one character time minus the last stop
bit time when there have not been at least two bytes in the transmit FIFO at the same time since the last
time that THRE = 1. The first transmitter interrupt after changing FCR0 is immediate when it is enabled.
Character time-out and receiver FIFO trigger level interrupts have the same priority as the current received data
available interrupt; transmit FIFO empty has the same priority as the current THRE interrupt.
FIFO polled mode operation
With FCR0 = 1 (transmitter and receiver FIFOs enabled), clearing IER0, IER1, IER2, IER3, or all four to 0 puts
the ACE in the FIFO polled mode of operation. Since the receiver and transmitter are controlled separately,
either one or both can be in the polled mode of operation.
In this mode, the user program checks receiver and transmitter status using the LSR. As stated previously:
•LSR0 is set when there is at least one byte in the receiver FIFO.
•LSR (1–4) specify which error(s) have occurred. Character error status is handled the same way as
when in the interrupt mode; the IIR is not affected since IER2 = 0.
•LSR5 indicates when the THR is empty.
•LSR6 indicates that both the THR and TSR are empty.
•LSR7 indicates whether there are any errors in the receiver FIFO.
There is no trigger level reached or time-out condition indicated in the FIFO polled mode. However, the receiver
and transmitter FIFOs are still fully capable of holding characters.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
interrupt enable register (IER)
The IER enables each of the five types of interrupts (refer to Table 5) and the INTRPT signal in response to an
interrupt generation. The IER can also disable the interrupt system by clearing bits 0 through 3. The contents
of this register are summarized in Table3 and are described in the following bulleted list.
D
Bit 0: When set, this bit enables the received data available interrupt.
D
Bit 1: When set, this bit enables the THRE interrupt.
D
Bit 2: When set, this bit enables the receiver line status interrupt.
D
Bit 3: When set, this bit enables the modem status interrupt.
D
Bit 4: When set, this bit enables sleep mode. The ACE is always awake when there is a byte in the
transmitter, activity on the SIN, or when the device is in the loopback mode. The ACE is also awake when
either ∆CTS, ∆DSR, ∆DCD, or TERI = 1. Bit 4 must be set to enable sleep mode.
D
Bit 5: When set, this bit enables low-power mode. Low-power mode functions similar to sleep mode.
However, this feature powers down the clock to the ACE only , while keeping the oscillator running. Bit 5 must
be set to enable low-power mode.
D
Bits 6 and 7: Not used (always cleared)
interrupt identification register (IIR)
The ACE has an on-chip interrupt generation and prioritization capability that permits a flexible interface with
most popular microprocessors.
The ACE provides four prioritized levels of interrupts:
D
Priority 1–Receiver line status (highest priority)
D
Priority 2–Receiver data ready or receiver character timeout
D
Priority 3–Transmitter holding register empty
D
Priority 4–Modem status (lowest priority)
When an interrupt is generated, the IIR indicates that an interrupt is pending and provides the type of interrupt
in its three least significant bits (bits 0, 1, and 2). The contents of this register are summarized in Table 3 and
described in Table 5. Details on each bit are as follows:
D
Bit 0: This bit can be used either in a hardwire prioritized, or polled interrupt system. When this bit is cleared,
an interrupt is pending. When bit 0 is set, no interrupt is pending.
D
Bits 1 and 2: Used to identify the highest priority interrupt pending as indicated in Table 3.
D
Bit 3: This bit is always cleared in the TL16C450 mode. In FIFO mode, this bit is set with bit 2 to indicate
that a time-out interrupt is pending.
D
Bit 4: Not used (always cleared)
26
D
Bits 5, 6, and 7: These bits are to verify the FIFO operation. When all 3 bits are cleared, TL16C450 mode
is chosen. When bits 6 and 7 are set and bit 5 is cleared, 16-byte mode is chosen. When bits 5, 6, and 7
are set, 64-byte mode is chosen.

line control register (LCR)
The system programmer controls the format of the asynchronous data communication exchange through the
LCR. In addition, the programmer is able to retrieve, inspect, and modify the contents of the LCR; this eliminates
the need for separate storage of the line characteristics in system memory. The contents of this register are
summarized in Table 3 and described in the following bulleted list.
D
Bits 0 and 1: These two bits specify the number of bits in each transmitted or received serial character.
These bits are encoded as shown in Table 6.

D
Bit 2: This bit specifies either one, one and one-half, or two stop bits in each transmitted character . When
bit 2 is cleared, one stop bit is generated in the data. When bit 2 is set, the number of stop bits generated
is dependent on the word length selected with bits 0 and 1. The receiver clocks only the first stop bit,
regardless of the number of stop bits selected. The number of stop bits generated, in relation to word length
and bit 2, is shown in Table 7.

BIT 2
D
Bit 3: This bit is the parity enable bit. When bit 3 is set, a parity bit is generated in data transmitted between
the last data word bit and the first stop bit. In received data, when bit 3 is set, parity is checked. When bit
3 is cleared, no parity is generated or checked.
D
Bit 4: This bit is the even parity select bit. When parity is enabled (bit 3 is set) and bit 4 is set, even parity
(an even number of logic 1s in the data and parity bits) is selected. When parity is enabled and bit 4 is
cleared, odd parity (an odd number of logic 1s) is selected.
D
Bit 5: This is the stick parity bit. When bits 3, 4, and 5 are set, the parity bit is transmitted and checked as
cleared. When bits 3 and 5 are set and bit 4 is cleared, the parity bit is transmitted and checked as set. When
bit 5 is cleared, stick parity is disabled.
D
Bit 6: This bit is the break control bit. Bit 6 is set to force a break condition; i.e., a condition where SOUT
is forced to the spacing (low) state. When bit 6 is cleared, the break condition is disabled and has no affect
on the transmitter logic; it only affects the serial output.
D
Bit 7: This bit is the divisor latch access bit (DLAB). Bit 7 must be set to access the divisor latches of the
baud generator during a read or write or access bit 5 of the FCR. Bit 7 must be cleared during a read or write
to access the receiver buffer, the THR, or the IER.
line status register (LSR)
†
The LSR provides information to the CPU concerning the status of data transfers. The contents of this register
are described in the following bulleted list and summarized in Table 3.
D
Bit 0: This bit is the data ready (DR) indicator for the receiver . DR is set when a complete incoming character
is received and transferred into the RBR or the FIFO. DR is cleared by reading all of the data in the RBR
or the FIFO.
D
Bit 1‡: This bit is the overrun error (OE) indicator . When OE is set, it indicates that before the character in
the RBR was read, it was overwritten by the next character transferred into the register. OE is cleared every
time the CPU reads the contents of the LSR. When the FIFO mode data continues to fill the FIFO beyond
the trigger level, an OE occurs only after the FIFO is full and the next character has been completely
received in the shift register. An OE is indicated to the CPU as soon as it happens. The character in the shift
register is overwritten, but it is not transferred to the FIFO.
D
Bit 2‡: This bit is the parity error (PE) indicator. When PE is set, it indicates that the parity of the received
data character does not match the parity selected in the LCR (bit 4). PE is cleared every time the CPU reads
the contents of the LSR. In the FIFO mode, PE is associated with the particular character in the FIFO to
which it applies. PE is revealed to the CPU when its associated character is at the top of the FIFO.
†
The line status register is intended for read operations only; writing to this register is not recommended outside of a factory testing environment.
‡
Bits 1 through 4 are the error conditions that produce a receiver line status interrupt.

line status register (LSR)
D
Bit 3‡: This bit is the framing error (FE) indicator. When FE is set, it indicates that the received character
does not have a valid (set) stop bit. FE is cleared every time the CPU reads the contents of the LSR. In the
FIFO mode, this error is associated with the particular character in the FIFO to which it applies. FE is
revealed to the CPU when its associated character is at the top of the FIFO. The ACE tries to resynchronize
after a FE. To accomplish this, it is assumed that the FE is due to the next start bit. The ACE samples this
start bit twice and then accepts the input data.
D
Bit 4: This bit is the break interrupt (BI) indicator. When BI is set, it indicates that the received data input
was held in the low state for longer than a full-word transmission time. A full-word transmission time is
defined as the total time to transmit the start, data, parity, and stop bits. BI is cleared every time the CPU
reads the contents of the LSR. In the FIFO mode, BI is associated with the particular character in the FIFO
to which it applies. BI is revealed to the CPU when its associated character is at the top of the FIFO. When
a break occurs, only one 0 character is loaded into the FIFO. The next character transfer is enabled after
SIN goes to the marking state for at least two RCLK samples and then receives the next valid start bit.
D
Bit 5: This bit is the transmitter holding register empty (THRE) indicator. THRE is set when the THR is
empty, indicating that the ACE is ready to accept a new character. If the THRE interrupt is enabled when
THRE is set, an interrupt is generated. THRE is set when the contents of the THR are transferred to the
TSR. THRE is cleared concurrent with the loading of the THR by the CPU. In the FIFO mode, THRE is set
when the transmit FIFO is empty; it is cleared when at least one byte is written to the transmit FIFO.
D
Bit 6: This bit is the transmitter empty (TEMT) indicator. TEMT bit is set when the THR and the TSR are
both empty . When either the THR or the TSR contains a data character, TEMT is cleared. In the FIFO mode,
TEMT is set when the transmitter FIFO and TSR are both empty.
†
(continued)
D
Bit 7: In TL16C750 mode and in TL16C450 mode, this bit is always cleared. In the FIFO mode, LSR7 is
set when there is at least one parity, framing, or break error in the FIFO. It is cleared when the
microprocessor reads the LSR and there are no subsequent errors in the FIFO.
modem control register (MCR)
The MCR is an 8-bit register that controls an interface with a modem, data set, or peripheral device that is
emulating a modem. The contents of this register are summarized in T able 3 and are described in the following
bulleted list.
D
Bit 0: This bit (DTR) controls the DTR output.
D
Bit 1: This bit (RTS) controls RTS output.
D
Bit 2: This bit (OUT1) controls OUT1 signal.
D
Bit 3: This bit (OUT2) controls the OUT2 signal.
When any of bits 0 through 3 is set, the associated output is forced low; a cleared bit forces the associated output
high.
†
The line status register is intended for read operations only; writing to this register is not recommended outside of a factory testing environment.

modem control register (MCR) (continued)
D
Bit 4: This bit (LOOP) provides a local loop back feature for diagnostic testing of the ACE. When LOOP
is set, the following occurs:
–SOUT is asserted high.
–SIN is disconnected.
–The output of the TSR is looped back into the RSR input.
–The four modem control inputs (CTS
–The four modem control outputs (DTR
, DSR, DCD, and RI) are disconnected.
, RTS, OUT1, and OUT2) are internally connected to the four
modem control inputs.
–The four modem control outputs are forced to their inactive (high) states.
D
Bit 5: This bit (AFE) is the autoflow control enable. When bit 5 is set, the autoflow control, as described in
the detailed description, is enabled.
In the diagnostic mode, data that is transmitted is immediately received. This allows the processor to verify
the transmit and receive data paths to the ACE. The receiver and transmitter interrupts are fully operational.
The modem control interrupts are also operational, but the modem control interrupt sources are now the
lower four bits of the MCR instead of the four modem control inputs. All interrupts are still controlled by the
IER.
The ACE flow can be configured by programming bits 1 and 5 of the MCR as shown in Table 8.

modem status register (MSR)
The MSR is an 8-bit register that provides information about the current state of the control lines from the
modem, data set, or peripheral device to the CPU. Additionally, four bits of this register provide change
information. When a control input from the modem changes state, the appropriate bit is set. All four bits are
cleared when the CPU reads the MSR. The contents of this register are summarized in Table 3 and are
described in the following bulleted list.
D
Bit 0: This bit is the change in clear-to-send (∆CTS) indicator. ∆CTS indicates that CTS has changed states
since the last time it was read by the CPU. When ∆ CTS is set (autoflow control is not enabled and the
modem status interrupt is enabled), a modem status interrupt is generated. When autoflow control is
enabled, no interrupt is generated. When ∆CTS is set, sleep or low-power modes are avoided.
D
Bit 1: This bit is the change in data set ready (∆DSR) indicator. ∆DSR indicates that DSR has changed
states since the last time it was read by the CPU. When ∆DSR is set and the modem status interrupt is
enabled, a modem status interrupt is generated. When ∆DSR is set, the sleep or low-power modes are
avoided.

D
Bit 2: This bit is the trailing edge of the ring indicator (TERI) detector . TERI indicates that RI to the chip has
changed from a low to a high level. When TERI is set and the modem status interrupt is enabled, a modem
status interrupt is generated. When TERI is set, sleep or low-power modes are avoided.
D
Bit 3: This bit is the change in data carrier detect (∆DCD) indicator. ∆DCD indicates that DCD to the chip
has changed states since the last time it was read by the CPU. When ∆DCD is set and the modem status
interrupt is enabled, a modem status interrupt is generated. When ∆DCD is set, sleep or low-power modes
are avoided.
D
Bit 4: This bit is the complement of CTS. When the ACE is in the diagnostic test mode (LOOP
[MCR4] = 1), this bit is equal to the MCR bit 1 (RTS).
D
Bit 5: This bit is the complement of DSR input. When the ACE is in the diagnostic test mode (LOOP
[MCR4] = 1), this bit is equal to the MCR bit 0 (DTR).
D
Bit 6: This bit is the complement of RI. When the ACE is in the diagnostic test mode (LOOP [MCR4] = 1),
this bit is equal to the MCR bit 2 (OUT1).
D
Bit 7: This bit is the complement of DCD. When the ACE is in the diagnostic test mode (LOOP

16× the baud rate. The formula for the divisor is:
Two 8-bit registers, called divisor latches, store the divisor in a 16-bit binary format. These divisor latches must
be loaded during initialization of the ACE to ensure desired operation of the baud generator. When either of the
divisor latches is loaded, a 16-bit baud counter is also loaded to prevent long counts on initial load.
T ables 9 and 10 illustrate the use of the baud generator with crystal frequencies of 1.8432 MHz and 3.072 MHz
respectively. For baud rates of 38.4 kbits/s and below, the error obtained is very small. The accuracy of the
selected baud rate is dependent on the selected crystal frequency (see Figure 21).

ASYNCHRONOUS COMMUNICATIONS ELEMENT
WITH 64-BYTE FIFOs AND AUTOFLOW CONTROL
The ACE receiver section consists of a RSR and a RBR. The RBR is actually a 64-byte FIFO. Timing is supplied
by the 16× receiver clock (RCLK). Receiver section control is a function of the ACE line control register.
The ACE RSR receives serial data from the SIN terminal. The RSR then deserializes the data and moves it into
the RBR FIFO. In the TL16C450 mode, when a character is placed in the RBR and the received data available
interrupt is enabled, an interrupt is generated. This interrupt is cleared when the data is read out of the RBR.
In the FIFO mode, the interrupts are generated based on the control setup in the FIFO control register.
scratch register
The scratch register is an 8-bit register used by the programmer as a scratchpad that temporarily holds the
programmer data without affecting any other ACE operation.
transmitter holding register (THR)
The ACE transmitter section consists of a THR and a transmitter shift register (TSR). The THR is actually a
64-byte FIFO. Timing is supplied by the baud out (BAUDOUT
function of the ACE line control register.
The ACE THR receives data off the internal data bus and when the shift register is idle, moves it into the TSR.
The TSR serializes the data and outputs it at the SOUT terminal. In the TL16C450 mode, when the THR is empty
and the transmitter holding register empty (THRE) interrupt is enabled (IER1 = 1), an interrupt is generated. This
interrupt is cleared when a character is loaded into the register. In the FIFO mode, the interrupts are generated
based on the control setup in the FIFO control register.
