LINE CONTROL REGISTER

This register is located at I/O address [base+3]. It is used for specifying the format of the asynchronous serial data to be processed by the UART, and to set the Divisor Latch Access Bit (DLAB) allowing access to the baud rate divisor latches.

DLAB --- Divisor latch access bit:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DLAB must be set to logic 1 to access the baud rate divisor latches. DLAB

 

must be set to logic 0 to access the receiver buffer, transmitting holding

 

register and interrupt enable register.

BKCN --- Break control:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When set (logic 1), the serial output (SOUT) is forced to the spacing state

 

(logic 0).
