• RTS remains asserted until the transfer is complete, even if the transmitter is disabled
midway through a data transfer. See
Transceiver driver enable using RTS
details.
• If the receiver request-to-send functionality is enabled, the receiver automatically
deasserts RTS if the number of characters in the receiver data register is equal to or
greater than receiver data buffer's watermark, RWFIFO[RXWATER].
• The receiver asserts RTS when the number of characters in the receiver data register
is less than the watermark. It is not affected if RDRF is asserted.
• Even if RTS is deasserted, the receiver continues to receive characters until the
receiver data buffer is full or is overrun.
• If the receiver request-to-send functionality is disabled, the receiver RTS remains
deasserted.
The following figure shows receiver hardware flow control functional timing. Along with
the actual character itself, RXD shows the start bit. The stop bit can also indicated, with a
dashed line, if necessary. The watermark is set to 2.

46.4.2.8 Infrared decoder
The infrared decoder converts the received character from the IrDA format to the NRZ
format used by the receiver. It also has a 16-RT clock counter that filters noise and
indicates when a 1 is received.
