EGISTER DESCRIPTION TABLES
The UART is accessed through an 8-byte block of I/O space (or through memory space). Since there are more than 8 registers,
the mapping is also dependent on the state of the Line Control Register ‘LCR’ and Additional Control Register ‘ACR’:
1. LCR[7]=1 enables the divider latch registers DLL and DLM
2. LCR specifies the data format used for both transmtter and receiver. Writing 0xBF (an unused format) to LCR enables
access to the 650 compatible register set. Writing this value will set LCR[7] but leaves LCR[6:0] unchanged. Therefore, the
data format of the transmtter and receiver data is not affected. Write the desired LCR value to exit fromthis selection.
3. ACR[7]=1 enables access to the 950 specific registers.
4. ACR[6]=1 enables access to the Indexed Control Register set (ICR) registers as described on page 20.
