IIR – Interrupt Identifier Register
(Addr = 2)
The Interrupt Identifier Register (IIR) identifies the existence and type of up to five prioritized pending interrupts.
Four priority levels are set to assist interrupt processing in the host. The four levels, in order of decreasing
priority, are Highest: Receiver Line Status, 2: Receiver Data Available or Receiver Character Timeout. 3: TX
Buffer Empty, and 4: Modem Status.
When the IIR is accessed, the modem freezes all interrupts and indicates the highest priority interrupt pending
to the host. Any change occurring in interrupt conditions are not indicated until this access is complete.
Bits 7-6 FIFO Mode
These two bits copy FCR0.
Bits 5-4 Not Used
Always 0.
Bits 3-1 Highest Priority Pending Interrupt
These three bits identify the highest priority pending interrupt (Table below). Bit 3 is
applicable only when FIFO mode is selected; otherwise, bit 3 is a 0.
Bit 0 Interrupt Pending
When this bit is a 0, an interrupt is pending; IIR bits 1-3 can be used to determine the source
of the interrupt. When this bit is a 1, an interrupt is not pending
