Auto RTS (Hardware) Flow Control
Automatic RTS hardware flow control is used to prevent data overrun to the local receiver FIFO. The RTS#
output is used to request remote unit to suspend/resume data transmission. The auto RTS flow control
features is enabled to fit specific application requirement (see Figure 11):
Enable auto RTS flow control using EFR bit-6.
The auto RTS function must be started by asserting RTS# output pin (MCR bit-1 to logic 1 after it is enabled).
If using the Auto RTS interrupt:
Enable RTS interrupt through IER bit-6 (after setting EFR bit-4). The UART issues an interrupt when the RTS#
pin makes a transition from low to high: ISR bit-5 will be set to logic 1.
2.12
Auto RTS Hysteresis
The M564 has a new feature that provides flow control trigger hysteresis while maintaining compatibility with
the XR16C850, ST16C650A and ST16C550 family of UARTs. With the Auto RTS function enabled, an interrupt
is generated when the receive FIFO reaches the selected RX trigger level. The RTS# pin will not be forced
HIGH (RTS off) until the receive FIFO reaches one trigger level above the selected trigger level in the trigger
table (Table 12). The RTS# pin will return LOW after the RX FIFO is unloaded to one level below the selected
trigger level. Under the above described conditions, the M564 will continue to accept data until the receive
FIFO gets full. The Auto RTS function is initiated when the RTS# output pin is asserted LOW (RTS On).
