POST OFFICE BOX 655303 * DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 1 TL16C450 ASYNCHRONOUS COMMUNICATIONS ELEMENT SLLS037B - MARCH 1988 - REVISED MARCH 1996 description (continued) The TL16C450 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 and report on the status of the ACE at any point in the ACE's operation. Reported status information includes the type of transfer operation in progress, the status of the operation, and any error conditions encountered. The TL16C450 ACE includes a programmable, on-board, baud rate generator. This generator is capable of dividing a reference clock input by divisors from 1 to (216 - 1) and producing a 16x clock for driving the internal transmitter logic. Provisions are included to use this 16x clock to drive the receiver logic. Also included in the ACE is a complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt system that may be software tailored to the user's requirements to minimize the computing required to handle the communications link. 2 POST OFFICE BOX 655303 * DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 TL16C450 ASYNCHRONOUS COMMUNICATIONS ELEMENT SLLS037B - MARCH 1988 - REVISED MARCH 1996 block diagram Internal Data Bus D7 - D0 1- 8 Data Bus Buffer Receiver Shift Register Receiver Buffer Register Line Control Register 10 Receiver Timing and Control 9 SIN RCLK Divisor Latch (LS) Baud Generator 15 BAUDOUT Divisor Latch (MS) A0 A1 A2 CS0 CS1 CS2 ADS MR DISTR DISTR DOSTR DOSTR DDIS CSOUT XTAL1 XTAL2 VCC VSS 28 27 26 12 13 14 25 35 22 21 19 18 23 24 16 17 40 20 Transmitter Timing and Control Line Status Register Select and Control Logic Transmitter Holding Register 11 Modem Control Logic 32 36 33 37 38 39 34 31 Modem Control Register Modem Status Register Power Supply Transmitter Shift Register Interrupt Enable Register Interrupt Control Logic 30 SOUT RTS CTS DTR DSR DCD RI OUT1 OUT2 INTRPT Interrupt I/O Register Terminal numbers shown are for the N package. POST OFFICE BOX 655303 * DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 3 TL16C450 ASYNCHRONOUS COMMUNICATIONS ELEMENT SLLS037B - MARCH 1988 - REVISED MARCH 1996 Terminal Functions TERMINAL NO. I/O DESCRIPTION A0 A1 A2 28 27 26 I Register select. A0, A1, and A2 are three inputs used during read and write operations to select the ACE register to read from or write to. Refer to Table 1 for register addresses, also refer to the address strobe (ADS) signal description. ADS 25 I Address strobe. When ADS is active (low), the register select signals (A0, A1, and A2) and chip select signals (CS0, CS1, CS2) drive the internal select logic directly; when high, the register select and chip select signals are held in the state they were in when the low-to-high transition of ADS occurred. BAUDOUT 15 O Baud out. BAUDOUT is a16 x clock signal for the transmitter section of the ACE. The clock rate is established by the reference oscillator frequency divided by a divisor specified by the baud generator divisor latches. BAUDOUT may also be used for the receiver section by tying this output to the RCLK input. CS0 CS1 CS2 12 13 14 I Chip select. When CSx is active (high, high, and low respectively), the ACE is selected. Refer to the ADS signal description. CSOUT 24 O Chip select out. When CSOUT is high, it indicates that the ACE has been selected by the chip select inputs (CS0, CS1, and CS2). CSOUT is low when the chip is deselected. CTS 36 I Clear to send. CTS is a modem status signal. Its condition can be checked by reading bit 4 (CTS) of the modem status register. Bit 0 (DCTS) of the modem status register indicates that this signal has changed states since the last read from the modem status register. If the modem status interrupt is enabled when CTS changes state, an interrupt is generated. 1-8 I/O Data bus. D0 - D7 are 3-state data lines that provide a bidirectional path for data, control, and status information between the ACE and the CPU. DCD 38 I Data carrier detect. DCD is a modem status signal. Its condition can be checked by reading bit 7 (DCD) of the modem status register. Bit 3 (DDCD) of the modem status register indicates that this signal has changed states since the last read from the modem status register. If the modem status interrupt is enabled when the DCD changes state, an interrupt is generated. DDIS 23 O Driver disable. DDIS is active (high) when the CPU is not reading data. When active, this output can disable an external transceiver. DISTR DISTR 22 21 I Data input strobes. When either DISTR or DISTR is active (high or low respectively) while the ACE is selected, the CPU is allowed to read status information or data from a selected ACE register. Only one of these inputs is required for the transfer of data during a read operation. The other input should be tied in its inactive state (i.e., DISTR tied low or DISTR tied high). DOSTR DOSTR 19 18 I Data output strobes. When either DOSTR or DOSTR is active (high or low respectively), while the ACE is selected, the CPU is allowed to write control words or data into a selected ACE register. Only one of these inputs is required to transfer data during a write operation. The other input should be tied in its inactive state (i.e., DOSTR tied low or DOSTR tied high). DSR 37 I Data set ready. DSR is a modem status signal. Its condition can be checked by reading bit 5 (DSR) of the modem status register. Bit 1 (DDSR) of the modem status register indicates that this signal has changed state since the last read from the modem status register. If the modem status interrupt is enabled when the DSR changes state, an interrupt is generated. DTR 33 O Data terminal ready. When active (low), DTR informs a modem or data set that the ACE is ready to establish communication. DTR is placed in the active state by setting the DTR bit of the modem control register to a high level. DTR is placed in the inactive state either as a result of a master reset or during loop mode operation or clearing bit 0 (DTR) of the modem control register. INTRPT 30 O Interrupt. When active (high), INTRPT informs the CPU that the ACE has an interrupt to be serviced. The four conditions that cause an interrupt are: a receiver error, received data is available, the transmitter holding register is empty, or an enabled modem status interrupt. The INTRPT output is reset (inactivated) either when the interrupt is serviced or as a result of a master reset. MR 35 I Master reset. When active (high), MR clears most ACE registers and sets the state of various output signals. Refer to Table 2 for ACE reset functions.

I/O DESCRIPTION OUT1 OUT2 34 31 O Outputs 1 and 2. OUT1 and OUT2 are user-designated output terminals that are set to their active states by setting their respective modem control register bits (OUT1 and OUT2) high. OUT1 and OUT2 are set to their inactive (high) states as a result of master reset or during loop mode operations or by clearing bit 2 (OUT1) or bit 3 (OUT2) of the MCR. 9 I Receiver clock. RCLK is the 16 x baud rate clock for the receiver section of the ACE. RI 39 I Ring indicator. RI is a modem status signal. Its condition can be checked by reading bit 6 (RI) of the modem status register. Bit 2 (TERI) of the modem status register indicates that the RI input has transitioned from a low to a high state since the last read from the modem status register. If the modem status interrupt is enabled when this transition occurs, an interrupt is generated. RTS 32 O Request to send. When active, RTS informs the modem or data set that the ACE is ready to transmit data. RTS is set to its active state by setting the RTS modem control register bit and is set to its inactive (high) state either as a result of a master reset or during loop mode operations or by clearing bit 1 (RTS) of the MCR. SIN 10 I Serial input. SIN is the serial data input from a connected communications device. SOUT 11 O Serial output. SOUT is the composite serial data output to a connected communication device. SOUT is set to the marking (set) state as a result of MR. VCC VSS 40 5-V supply voltage 20 Supply common RCLK XTAL1 16 I/O External clock.

By clearing bits 0 - 3, the IER can also disable the interrupt system. The contents of this register are summarized in Table 3 and are described in the following bulleted list. D D D D D Bit 0: This bit, when set, enables the received data available interrupt. Bit 1: This bit, when set, enables the THRE interrupt. Bit 2: This bit, when set, enables the receiver line status interrupt. Bit 3: This bit, when set, enables the modem status interrupt. Bits 4 - 7: These bits in the IER are not used and are always cleared. interrupt identification register (IIR) The ACE has an on-chip interrupt generation and prioritization capability that permits a flexible interface with most microprocessors. The ACE provides four prioritized levels of interrupts: D D D D Priority 1 - Receiver line status (highest priority) Priority 2 - Receiver data ready or receiver character time out Priority 3 - Transmitter holding register empty Priority 4 - Modem status (lowest priority) When an interrupt is generated, the IIR indicates that an interrupt is pending and 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 4. D D D Bit 0: This bit can be used either in a hardwire prioritized or polled interrupt system. When bit 0 is cleared, an interrupt is pending. When bit 0 is set, no interrupt is pending. Bits 1 and 2: These two bits identify the highest priority interrupt pending as indicated in Table 4. Bits 3 - 7: These bits in the IIR are not used and are always clear.

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 are 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 5. Table 5. Serial Character Word Length D 18 Bit 1 Bit 0 Word Length 0 0 5 Bits 0 1 6 Bits 1 0 7 Bits 1 1 8 Bits 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 checks the first stop bit only, 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 6. POST OFFICE BOX 655303 * DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 TL16C450 ASYNCHRONOUS COMMUNICATIONS ELEMENT SLLS037B - MARCH 1988 - REVISED MARCH 1996 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION line control register (LCR) (continued) Table 6.

When bit 3 is set, a parity bit is generated in transmitted data between the last data word bit and the first stop bit. In received data, if bit 3 is set, parity is checked. When bit 3 is cleared, no parity is generated or checked. 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 is in the data and parity bits) is selected. When parity is enabled (bit 3 is set) and bit 4 is clear, odd parity (an odd number of logic 1s) is selected. 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. Bit 6: This bit is the break control bit. Bit 6 is set to force a break condition, i.e, a condition where the serial output terminal (SOUT) is forced to the spacing (cleared) state. When bit 6 is cleared, the break condition is disabled. The break condition has no affect on the transmitter logic, it only affects the serial output. 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. 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 summarized in Table 3 and are described in the following bulleted list. D Bit 0: This bit is the data ready (DR) indicator for the receiver. Bit 0 is set whenever a complete incoming character has been received and transferred into the RBR and is cleared by reading the RBR. D Bit 1: This bit is the overrun error (OE) indicator. When bit 1 is set, it indicates that before the character in the RBR was read, it was overwritten by the next character transferred into the register. The OE indicator is cleared every time the CPU reads the contents of the LSR. D Bit 2: This bit is the parity error (PE) indicator. When bit 2 is set, it indicates that the parity of the received data character does not match the parity selected in the LCR (bit 4). The PE bit is cleared every time the CPU reads the contents of the LSR. D Bit 3: This bit is the framing error (FE) indicator. When bit 3 is set, it indicates that the received character does not have a valid (set) stop bit. The FE bit is cleared every time the CPU reads the contents of the LSR. D Bit4: This bit is the break interrupt (BI) indicator. When bit 4 is set, it indicates that the received data input was held clear for longer than a full-word transmission time. A full-word transmission time is defined as the total time of the start, data, parity, and stop bits. The BI bit is cleared every time the CPU reads the contents of the LSR. 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.

Bit 5 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 the THRE bit is set, then an interrupt is generated. THRE is set when the contents of the THR are transferred to the transmitted shift register. This bit is cleared concurrent with the loading of the THR by the CPU. Bit 6: This bit is the transmitter empty (TEMT) indicator. Bit 6 is set when the THR and the transmitter shift register are both empty. When either the THR or the transmitter shift register contains a data character, the TEMT bit is cleared. Bit 7: This bit is always clear. 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 Table 3 and are described in the following bulleted list. D D D D D Bit 0: This bit (DTR) controls the data terminal ready (DTR) output. Setting bit 0 forces the DTR output to its active state (low). When bit 0 is clear, DTR goes high. Bit 1: This bit (RTS) controls the request to send (RTS) output in a manner identical to bit 0's control over the DTR output. Bit 2: This bit (OUT1) controls the output 1 (OUT1) signal, a user designated output signal, in a manner identical to bit 0's control over the DTR output. Bit 3: This bit (OUT2) controls the output 2 (OUT2) signal, a user designated output signal, in a manner identical to bit 0's control over the DTR output. Bit 4: This bit provides a local loopback feature for diagnostic testing of the ACE. When bit 4 is set, the following occurs: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. The SOUT is asserted high. The SIN is disconnected. The output of the transmitter shift register is looped back into the RSR input. The four modem control inputs (CTS, DSR, DCD, and RI) are disconnected. The four modem control outputs (DTR, RTS, OUT1, and OUT2) are internally connected to the four modem control inputs. 6. The four modem control output terminals are forced to their inactive states (high). 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. D Bits 5 through 7: These bits are clear. The line status register is intended for read operations only; writing to this register is not recommended outside of a factory testing environment. 20 POST OFFICE BOX 655303 * DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 TL16C450 ASYNCHRONOUS COMMUNICATIONS ELEMENT SLLS037B - MARCH 1988 - REVISED MARCH 1996 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 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 provides 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 D D D D D D D Bit 0: This bit is the delta clear to send (DCTS) indicator. Bit 0 indicates that the CTS input has changed states since the last time it was read by the CPU. When this bit is set and the modem status interrupt is enabled, a modem status interrupt is generated. Bit 1: This bit is the delta data set ready (DDSR) indicator. Bit 1 indicates that the DSR input has changed states since the last time it was read by the CPU. When this bit is set and the modem status interrupt is enabled, a modem status interrupt is generated. Bit 2: This bit is the trailing edge of ring indicator (TERI) detector. Bit 2 indicates that the RI input to the chip has changed from a low to a high state. When this bit is set and the modem status interrupt is enabled, a modem status interrupt is generated. Bit 3: This bit is the delta data carrier detect (DDCD) indicator. Bit 3 indicates that the DCD input to the chip has changed state since the last time it was read by the CPU. When this bit is set and the modem status interrupt is enabled, a modem status interrupt is generated. Bit 4: This bit is the complement of the clear to send (CTS) input. When bit 4 (loop) of the MCR is set, this bit is equivalent to the MCR bit 1 (RTS). Bit 5: This bit is the complement of the data set ready (DSR) input. When bit 4 (loop) of the MCR is set, this bit is equivalent to the MCR bit 0 (DTR). Bit 6: This bit is the complement of the ring indicator (RI) input. When bit 4 (loop) of the MCR is set, this bit is equivalent to the MCRs bit 2 (OUT1). Bit 7: This bit is the complement of the data carrier detect (DCD) input. When bit 4 (loop) of the MCR is set, this bit is equivalent to the MCRs bit 3 (OUT2). programmable baud generator The ACE contains a programmable baud generator that takes a clock input in the range between dc and 9 MHz and divides it by a divisor in the range between 1 and (216 - 1). The output frequency of the baud generator is sixteen times (16x) the baud rate. The formula for the divisor is: divisor # = XTAL1 frequency input B (desired baud rate x 16) 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 in order 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. Tables 7 and 8 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 kilobits per second and below, the error obtained is very small. The accuracy of the selected baud rate is dependent on the selected crystal frequency. Refer to Figure 10 for examples of typical clock circuits.

Timing is supplied by the 16 x receiver clock (RCLK). Receiver section control is a function of the ACE line control register. The ACE receiver shift register receives serial data from the serial input (SIN) terminal. The receiver shift register then converts the data to a parallel form and loads it into the RBR. 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. scratch register The scratch register is an 8-bit register that is intended for programmer use as a scratchpad, in the sense that it temporarily holds 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. Timing is supplied by the baud out (BAUDOUT) clock signal. Transmitter section control is a function of the ACE line control register. The ACE THR receives data from the internal data bus and, when the shift register is idle, moves it into the transmitter shift register. The transmitter shift register serializes the data and outputs it at the serial output (SOUT). If the THR is empty and the transmitter holding register empty (THRE) interrupt is enabled, an interrupt is generated. This interrupt is cleared when a character is loaded into the register. 24 POST OFFICE BOX 655303 * DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 IMPORTANT NOTICE Texas Instruments (TI) reserves the right to make changes to its products or to discontinue any semiconductor product or service without notice, and advises its customers to obtain the latest version of relevant information to verify, before placing orders, that the information being relied on is current and complete.
