4.11 IrDA Control Register for UART3 Only (U3ICR - 0xE007 C024)
The IrDA Control Register enables and configures the IrDA mode for UART3 only. The
value of U3ICR should not be changed while transmitting or receiving data, or data loss or
corruption may occur.
The PulseDiv bits in U3ICR are used to select the pulse width when the fixed pulse width
mode is used in IrDA mode (IrDAEn = 1 and FixPulseEn = 1). The value of these bits
should be set so that the resulting pulse width is at least 1.63 µs.
