一. 硬件数据手册

The ST16C554D is a universal asynchronous receiver and transmitter (UART) with a dual foot print interface.

The 554D is an enhanced UART with 16 byte FIFOs, receive trigger levels and data rates up to 1.5Mbps.

The 554D is available in 64 pin TQFP, and 68 pin PLCC packages. The 68 pin PLCC package offer an additional 68 mode which allows easy integration with Motorola, and other popular microprocessors.

The 554D combines the package interface modes of the 16C554D and 68C554 series on a single integrated chip. The 16 mode interface is designed to operate with the Intel type of microprocessor bus while the 68 mode is intended to operate with Motorola, and other popular microprocessors. Following a reset, the 554D is down-ward compatible with the ST16C454/ST68C454 dependent on the state of the interface mode selection pin, 16/-68.

共有两种总线接口：16mode（Intel）和68mode（Motorola），板卡上用用ST16C554DIQ64，仅支持16mode。

PIN介绍

A0/A1/A2: Address-0/1/2 Select Bit. Internal registers address selection in 16 and 68 modes.

-CS：This pin is not available on 64 pin packages which operate in the 16 mode only.

-CSA/B/C/D:Chip Select A, B, C, D (active low) - This function is associated with the 16 mode only, and for individual channels, “A” through “D.”

INTA/B/C/D:Interrupt A, B, C, D (active high) - This function is associated with the 16 mode only. These pins provide individual channel interrupts, INT A-D. INT A-D are enabled when MCR bit-3 is set to a logic 1, interrupts are enabled in the interrupt enable register (IER), and when an interrupt condition exists. Interrupt conditions include: receiver errors, available receiver buffer data, transmit buffer empty, or when a modem status flag is detected. When the 68 mode is selected, the functions of these pins are reassigned. 68 mode functions are described under the their respective name/pin headings.

寄存器

The 554D provides 13 internal registers for monitoring and control.

FIFO

The 16 byte transmit and receive data FIFO’s are enabled by the FIFO Control Register (FCR) bit-0. With 16C554 devices, the user can only set the receive trigger level. The receiver FIFO section includes a time-out function to ensure data is delivered to the external CPU. An interrupt is generated whenever the Receive Holding Register (RHR) has not been read following the loading of a character or the receive trigger level has not been reached.

Interrupts

The interrupts are enabled by IER bits 0-3. Care must be taken when handling these interrupts. Following a reset the transmitter interrupt is enabled, the 554D will issue an interrupt to indicate that transmit holding register is empty. This interrupt must be serviced prior to continuing operations. The LSR register provides the current singular highest priority interrupt only. Servicing the interrupt without investigating further interrupt conditions can result in data errors.

When two interrupt conditions have the same priority, it is important to service these interrupts correctly. Receive Data Ready and Receive Time Out have the same interrupt priority (when enabled by IER bit-0).The receiver issues an interrupt after the number of characters have reached the programmed trigger level. In this case the 554D FIFO may hold more characters than the programmed trigger level. Following the removal of a data byte, the user should recheck LSR bit-0 for additional characters. A Receive Time Out will not occur if the receive FIFO is empty. The time out counter is reset at the center of each stop bit received or each time the receive holding register (RHR) is read.

DMA

LSR bits 5-6 provide an indication when the transmitter is empty or has an empty location(s). The user can optionally operate the transmit and receive FIFOs in the DMA mode (FCR bit-3). When the transmit and receive FIFOs are enabled and the DMA mode is deactivated (DMA Mode “0”), the 554D activates the interrupt output pin for each data transmit or receive operation. When DMA mode is activated (DMA Mode “1”), the user takes the advantage of block mode operation by loading or unloading the FIFO in a block sequence determined by the preset trigger level. In this mode, the 554D sets the interrupt output pin when characters in the transmit FIFOs are below the transmit trigger level, or the characters in the receive FIFOs are above the receive trigger level.

Interrupt Enable Register (IER)

The Interrupt Enable Register (IER) masks the interrupts from receiver ready, transmitter empty, line status and modem status registers. These interrupts would normally be seen on the INT A-D output pins in the 16 mode, or on WIRE-OR IRQ output pin, in the 68 mode.

IER BIT-0: This interrupt will be issued when the FIFO has reached the programmed trigger level or is cleared when the FIFO drops below the trigger level in the FIFO mode of operation.

Logic 0 = Disable the receiver ready interrupt. (normal default condition)

Logic 1 = Enable the receiver ready interrupt.

Interrupt Status Register (ISR) 

The 554D provides four levels of prioritized interrupts to minimize external software interaction. The Interrupt Status Register (ISR) provides the user with six interrupt status bits. Performing a read cycle on the ISR will provide the user with the highest pending interrupt level to be serviced. No other interrupts are acknowledged until the pending interrupt is serviced. Whenever the interrupt status register is read, the interrupt status is cleared. However it should be noted that only the current pending interrupt is cleared by the read. A lower level interrupt may be seen after rereading the interrupt status bits. The Interrupt Source Table 7 (below) shows the data values (bit 0-5) for the four prioritized interrupt levels and the interrupt sources associated with each of these interrupt levels:
