15–0 TB15:0 Transmit Buffer Bits:
These bits make up the next data word to be transmitted. The control
logic loads this word into the transmit shift register. The transmit shift
register shifts the bits out on the falling edge of the tranmitter clock pin.
The word is transmitted out starting with the most-significant bit (TB15).

Function
7–0 TB7:0 Transmit Buffer Bits:
These bits make up the next data word to be transmitted. The transmitter
loads this word into the transmit shift register. The transmit shift register
then shifts the bits out, along with the asynchronous communication bits
(start, stop, and parity). The data bits are shifted out least-significant bit
(TB0) first.
NOTE: The transmit buffer register shares an address port with other SIO registers. You must clear
bit 7 (DLAB) of LCR
n
before you can write to the transmit buffer register.
