Transmit Hold Registers (UARTxTHR)
In no pack mode (default), only the lower byte of these registers is used—
all other bits are zero-filled. However in pack mode, both the high and
low bytes are used. The TX9D and RX9D are the 9th bit in 9-bit transmission
mode. These registers are mapped to the same address as the UARTxRBR and
UARTxDLL registers. A write to the UART transmit holding registers
(UARTxTHR) initiates the transmit operation.
To access UARTxTHR (shown in Figure A-50), the UARTDLAB bit in UARTxLCR
must be cleared. When the UARTDLAB bit is cleared, writes to this address
target the UARTxTHR registers, and reads from this address return the UAR-
TxRBR
registers.
