DMA transfers to and from system memory
Independent receive and transmit programmable bit-rate generators
High speed data transfer up to 1.8432 Mbps
Programmable data format
5 to 8 data bits
Odd, even, or no parity
1 or 2 stop bits
MSB or LSB first
Programmable channel modes
Normal
Local loopback
Remote loopback
Modem control signal support
RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, DCD, RI
Maskable interrupt conditions
Receiver idle
Transmitter idle
Receive error conditions
Character gap timeout
Character match events
CTS, DSR, DCD, RI state change detection
RS485 transceiver control signal
Transmit FIFO bypass to force out a character
