10.4.2.6 FIFO Control Register (FCR)
The FCR, shown in Table 10-11 , is a write-only register that is located at the same address as the
IIR, which is a read-only register. The FCR enables/disables the transmitter/receiver FIFOs, clears
the transmitter/receiver FIFOs, and sets the receiver FIFO trigger level.
This is a write-only register. Write zeros to reserved bits.

7:6 ITL
Interrupt Trigger Level: When the number of bytes in the receiver FIFO equals the interrupt
trigger level programmed into this field and the Received Data Available Interrupt is
enabled via the IER, an interrupt is generated and appropriate bits are set in the IIR. The
receive DMA request is also generated when the trigger level is reached.
0b00 – 1 byte or more in FIFO causes interrupt (Not valid in DMA mode)
0b01 – 8 bytes or more in FIFO causes interrupt and DMA request
0b10 – 16 bytes or more in FIFO causes interrupt and DMA request
0b11 – 32 bytes or more in FIFO causes interrupt and DMA request
5:3 — reserved
