Pin
Type
Description
RXD1
Input
Serial Input. Serial receive data.
TXD1
Output
Serial Output. Serial transmit data.
CTS1
Input
Clear To Send. Active low signal indicates if the external modem is ready to accept transmitted
data via TXD1 from the UART1. In normal operation of the modem interface (U1MCR[4] = 0), the
complement value of this signal is stored in U1MSR[4]. State change information is stored in
U1MSR[0] and is a source for a priority level 4 interrupt, if enabled (U1IER[3] = 1).
DCD1
Input
Data Carrier Detect. Active low signal indicates if the external modem has established a
communication link with the UART1 and data may be exchanged. In normal operation of the
modem interface (U1MCR[4]=0), the complement value of this signal is stored in U1MSR[7]. State
change information is stored in U1MSR3 and is a source for a priority level 4 interrupt, if enabled
(U1IER[3] = 1).
DSR1
Input
Data Set Ready. Active low signal indicates if the external modem is ready to establish a
communications link with the UART1. In normal operation of the modem interface (U1MCR[4] = 0),
the complement value of this signal is stored in U1MSR[5]. State change information is stored in
U1MSR[1] and is a source for a priority level 4 interrupt, if enabled (U1IER[3] = 1).
DTR1
Output
Data Terminal Ready. Active low signal indicates that the UART1 is ready to establish connection
with external modem. The complement value of this signal is stored in U1MCR[0].
RI1
Input
Ring Indicator. Active low signal indicates that a telephone ringing signal has been detected by
the modem. In normal operation of the modem interface (U1MCR[4] = 0), the complement value of
this signal is stored in U1MSR[6]. State change information is stored in U1MSR[2] and is a source
for a priority level 4 interrupt, if enabled (U1IER[3] = 1).
RTS1
Output
Request To Send. Active low signal indicates that the UART1 would like to transmit data to the
external modem. The complement value of this signal is stored in U1MCR[1].
