Bits 31:30 – TXTRHOLD[1:0] Transmit FIFO Threshold

These bits define the threshold for generating the Data Register Empty interrupt and DMA TX trigger.

ValueNameDescription
0DEFAULTInterrupt and DMA triggers can be generated as long as the FIFO is not full.
1HALFInterrupt and DMA triggers are generated when half FIFO space is free.
2EMPTYInterrupt and DMA triggers are generated when the FIFO is empty.
3-Reserved

Bits 29:28 – RXTRHOLD[1:0] Receive FIFO Threshold

These bits define the threshold for generating the RX Complete interrupt and DMA RX trigger.

ValueNameDescription
0DEFAULTInterrupt and DMA triggers can be generated when a DATA is present in the FIFO.
1HALFInterrupt and DMA triggers can be generated only when the FIFO is half-full.
2FULLInterrupt and DMA triggers can be generated only when the FIFO is full.
3-Reserved

Bit 27 – FIFOEN FIFO Enable

This bit enables the FIFO operation.

ValueDescription
0FIFO operation is disabled
1FIFO operation is enabled

Bit 24 – DATA32B Data 32 Bit

This bit enables 32-bit Extension for read and write transactions to the DATA register.

When disabled, access is according to CTRLB.CHSIZE.

ValueDescription
0Transactions from and to DATA register are 8-bit
1Transactions from and to DATA register are 32-bit

Bits 5:0 – ICSPACE[5:0] Inter-Character Spacing

When non-zero, CTRLC.ICSPACE selects the minimum number of baud cycles the SCK line will not toggle between characters.

ValueDescription
0x00Inter-Character Spacing is disabled
0x01-0x3FThe minimum Inter-Character Spacing
