Chapter 21: LPC5410x USARTs (USART0/1/2/3)
21.6.3 USART Status register
The STAT register primarily provides a complete set of USART status flags for software to
read. Flags other than read-only flags may be cleared by writing ones to corresponding
bits of STAT. Interrupt status flags that are read-only and cannot be cleared by software,
can be masked using the INTENCLR register (see
).
The error flags for received noise, parity error, framing error, and overrun are set
immediately upon detection and remain set until cleared by software action in STAT.

value
Access
0
RXRDY
Receiver Ready flag. When 1, indicates that data is available to be read from the
receiver buffer. Cleared after a read of the RXDAT or RXDATSTAT registers.
0
RO
1
RXIDLE
Receiver Idle. When 0, indicates that the receiver is currently in the process of
receiving data. When 1, indicates that the receiver is not currently in the process
of receiving data.
1
RO
2
TXRDY
Transmitter Ready flag. When 1, this bit indicates that data may be written to the
transmit buffer. Previous data may still be in the process of being transmitted.
Cleared when data is written to TXDAT. Set when the data is moved from the
transmit buffer to the transmit shift register.
1
RO
3
TXIDLE
Transmitter Idle. When 0, indicates that the transmitter is currently in the process
of sending data.When 1, indicate that the transmitter is not currently in the
process of sending data.
1
RO
4
CTS
This bit reflects the current state of the CTS signal, regardless of the setting of
the CTSEN bit in the CFG register. This will be the value of the CTS input pin
unless loopback mode is enabled.
NA
RO
5
DELTACTS
This bit is set when a change in the state is detected for the CTS flag above. This
bit is cleared by software.
0
W1
6
TXDISSTAT
Transmitter Disabled Status flag. When 1, this bit indicates that the USART
transmitter is fully idle after being disabled via the TXDIS bit in the CFG register
(TXDIS = 1).
0
RO
7
-
Reserved. Read value is undefined, only zero should be written.
NA
NA
8
OVERRUNINT
Overrun Error interrupt flag. This flag is set when a new character is received
while the receiver buffer is still in use. If this occurs, the newly received character
in the shift register is lost.
0
W1
9
-
Reserved. Read value is undefined, only zero should be written.
NA
NA
10
RXBRK
Received Break. This bit reflects the current state of the receiver break detection
logic. It is set when the Un_RXD pin remains low for 16 bit times. Note that
FRAMERRINT will also be set when this condition occurs because the stop bit(s)
for the character would be missing. RXBRK is cleared when the Un_RXD pin
goes high.
0
RO
11
DELTARXBRK
This bit is set when a change in the state of receiver break detection occurs.
Cleared by software.
0
W1
12
START
This bit is set when a start is detected on the receiver input. Its purpose is
primarily to allow wake-up from Deep-sleep or Power-down mode immediately
when a start is detected. Cleared by software.
0
W1
13
FRAMERRINT
Framing Error interrupt flag. This flag is set when a character is received with a
missing stop bit at the expected location. This could be an indication of a baud
rate or configuration mismatch with the transmitting source.
