10.5.1.12 Scratch-Pad Register

This read/write register has no effect on the UART, it is intended as a scratch-pad

register for use by the programmer.

Register MSR
Bits Name Description
31:8 (Reserved)
7DCD
Data Carrier Detect: This bit is the complement of the Data Carrier Detect
(DCD#) input. This bit is equivalent to bit OUT2 of the Modem Control Register
if LOOP in the MCR is set to 1.
0 = DCD# pin is 1
1 = DCD# pin is 0
6RI
Ring Indicator: This bit is the complement of the ring Indicator (RI#) input.
This bit is equivalent to bit OUT1 of the Modem Control register if LOOP in the
MCR is set to 1.
0 = RI# pin is 1
1 = RI# pin is 0
5DSR
Data Set Ready: This bit is the complement of the Data Set Ready (DSR#)
input. This bit is equivalent to bit DTR of the Modem Control Register if LOOP in
the MCR is set to 1.
0 = DSR# pin is 1
1 = DSR# pin is 0
4CTS
Clear-to-Send: This bit is the complement of the Clear-to-Send (CTS#) input.
This bit is equivalent to bit RTS of the Modem Control Register if LOOP in the
MCR is set to 1.
0 = CTS# pin is 1
1 = CTS# pin is 0
3 DDCD
Delta Data Carrier Detect:
0 = No change in DCD# pin since last read of MSR
1 = DCD# pin has changed state
2TERI
Trailing-Edge Ring Indicator:
0 = RI# pin has not changed from 0 to 1 since last read of MSR
1 = RI# pin has changed from 0 to 1
1DDSR
Delta Data Set Ready:
0 = No change in DSR# pin since last read of MSR
1 = DSR# pin has changed state
0 DCTS
Delta Clear-to-Send:
0 = No change in CTS# pin since last read of MSR
1 = CTS# pin has changed state
