17.5.2 Transmit Holding Register (THR)
In non-FIFO mode, the Transmit Holding Register (THR) holds the data byte(s) to be transmitted
next. When the Transmit Shift Register (TSR) is emptied, the contents of the THR are loaded in the
TSR and the LSR[TDRQ] is set to a 1 (refer to Section17.5.11, “Line Status Register (LSR)” on
page17-23).
In FIFO mode, a write to the THR puts data into the end of the FIFO. The data at the front of the
FIFO is loaded to the TSR when that register is empty. The Transmit Holding Regist er bit
definitions are shown in Table17-3.
17.5.3 Divisor Latch Registers (DLL and DLH)
The HWUART contains a programmable baud rate generator that can take the 14.7456MHz-fixed-
input clock and divide it by a number that is between 1 and 2 16–1. The baud rate generator output
frequency is 16 times the baud rate. Tw o 8-bit latches store the divisor in a 16-bit binary for mat.
