interrupts

The TL16C754 UART has interrupt generation and prioritization (6 prioritized levels of interrupts) capability. The

interrupt enable register (IER) enables each of the 6 types of interrupts and the INT signal in response to an

interrupt generation. The IER can also disable the interrupt system by clearing bits 0–3, 5–7. When an interrupt

is generated, the interrupt identification register(IIR) indicates that an interrupt is pending and provides the type

of interrupt through IIR[5–0]. Table 4 summarizes the interrupt control functions.
