Intel386™ EX EMBEDDED MICROPROCESSOR USER’S MANUAL
11-16
For PC compatibility, the SIO unit accesses its 11 registers through 8 I/O addresses. The RBRn,
TBRn, and DLLn registers share the same addresses and the IERn and DLHn registers share the
same addresses. Bit 7 (DLAB) of the LCRn determines which register is accessed during a read
or write operation (Table 11-6).
