In the default configuration, an Interrupt Status Register and an Options Register (see page 10) replace the scratchpad (base address + 7) of each UART. If the SPAD jumper is applied as in Figure 4, the UART scratchpad registers are enabled, and the Interrupt Status Register and the Options Register are not available.
