LSR – Line Status
Bit 7:
Error in RX FIFO. This bit is always set to 1 if at least one data byte in the RX FIFO has an error.
This will clear when there are no more errors in the RX FIFO.
This will clear when there are no more errors in the RX FIFO.
Bit 6:
Transmitter empty. This bit is the same as LSR bit 5 (THRE) in MMM
Bit 5:
Transmitter holding register empty. This bit is set to 1 when either the transmitter holding register
has been read (emptied) by the micro-controller (16450 mode) or the TX FIFO is empty (16550
mode). This bit is set to 0 when either the THR or the TX FIFO becomes not empty in 16450
mode. In 16550 mode, it is set to 0 only after the trigger level has been met since the last
occurrence of TX FIFO empty. If the transmitter timer is enabled, a shadow bit exists which
delays the timer setting this bit to 1. When reading this bit, the micro-controller will not see the
delay. Both shadow and register bits are cleared when the host writes to the THR or TX FIFO in
16450 mode. The trigger level must be reached to clear the bit in 16550 (FIFO) mode.

Bits 2
–4:
Used for parity error, framing error, and break detect. These bits are written, indirectly, by the
micro-controller as follows: The bits are first written to the shadow bit locations when the micro-
controller write accesses the LSR. When the next character is written to the receive buffer (RBR)
or the RX FIFO, the data in the shadow bits is then copied to the RBR (16450 mode) or RX FIFO
(16550 mode). In FIFO mode, bits become available to the host when the data byte associated
with the bits is next to be read. In FIFO mode, with successive reads of the receiver, the status
bits will be set if an error occurs on any byte. Once the micro-controller writes to the RBR or RX
FIFO, the shadow bits are auto cleared. The register bits are updated with each host read.

Bit 1:
Overrun error. This bit is set if the micro-controller makes a second write to RBR before the host
reads data in the buffer (16450 mode) or with a full RX FIFO (16550 mode). No data will be
transferred to the RX FIFO under these circumstances. This bit is reset when the host reads the
LSR.

transferred to the RX FIFO under these circumstances. This bit is reset when the host reads the
LSR.
Bit 0:
Data ready bit. This bit is set to 1 when received data is available, either in the RX FIFO (16550
mode) or the RBR (16450 mode). This bit is set immediately upon the micro-controller writing
data to the RBR or FIFO if the receive timer is not enabled, but it is delayed by the timer interval
if the receive timer is enabled. For micro-controller read access, a shadow bit exists so that the
micro-controller does not see the delay that the host sees. Both bits are cleared to logic 0
immediately upon reading all data in either RBR or RX FIFO.

MSR – Modem Status
Bits 4 through 7 of the MSR can also take on the MCR bits 0 through 3 value when in MCR loop mode (i.e. when
MCR b4 = 1). The transfer of bits in loop back has a null modem twist (i.e. MCR b0 goes to MSR b5 and MCR
b1goes to MSR b4).

Bit 7:

Bit 6:

Bit 5:
