0 1 Stop after completion

1 0 Free run
1 1 Free run
Note:
If an option besides immediate stop is chosen for the receiver, an overflow
error is possible. The default mode (selected at reset) is
immediate stop.
Bit 13 TCOMP — Transmission complete. This bit is cleared to 0 when all data
in the transmit FIFO buffer has been transmitted (the buffer is empty) and is
set to 1 when new data is written to the transmit FIFO buffer (the buffer is not
empty).
Bit 12 RFNE — Receive FIFO buffer not empty bit. This bit is 1 when the receive
FIFO buffer contains data and is cleared when the buffer empties.
Bits 11–10 FT1, FT0 — FIFO transmit-interrupt bits. The values you write to FT0 and
FT1 set an interrupt trigger condition based on the contents of the transmit
FIFO buffer. When this condition is met, a transmit interrupt (XINT) is gener-
ated and the data can be transferred out to the FIFO buffer using the OUT
instruction. Table 9–3 summarizes the possible trigger conditions.

Select Bits
FT1 FT0 Generate XINT when...
0 0 Transmit FIFO buffer can accept one or more words;
XINT occurs repeatedly until the buffer is full.
0 1 Transmit FIFO buffer can accept two or more words;
XINT occurs repeatedly until three words are written.
1 0 Transmit FIFO buffer can accept three or four words;
XINT occurs repeatedly until two words are written.
1 1 Transmit FIFO buffer is empty (can accept 4 words);
XINT occurs repeatedly until one word is written.
