and Section 10.5.2 “UART Transmitter Holding Register (DLAB = 0, Write Only)”
The UART THRE interrupt (U0IIR[3:1] = 001) is a third level interrupt and is activated
when the UART THR FIFO is empty provided certain initialization conditions have been
met. These initialization conditions are intended to give the UART THR FIFO a chance to
fill up with data to eliminate many THRE interrupts from occurring at system start-up. The
initialization conditions implement a one character delay minus the stop bit whenever
THRE = 1 and there have not been at least two characters in the U0THR at one time
since the last THRE = 1 event. This delay is provided to give the CPU time to write data to
U0THR without a THRE interrupt to decode and service. A THRE interrupt is set
immediately if the UART THR FIFO has held two or more characters at one time and
currently, the U0THR is empty. The THRE interrupt is reset when a U0THR write occurs or
a read of the U0IIR occurs and the THRE is the highest interrupt (U0IIR[3:1] = 001).
