Abstract

See full text

A circuit for use with a PC16550D UART in 16450 polling mode that will filter DR bit oscillations. The circuit latches the value of the Line Status Register during the valid data portion of a LSR register read cycle, deasserts the read strobe, delays to allow the data bus values to float, applies the latched values of the LSR to the data bus, then asserts a ready signal to the microprocessor. If the UART access is not a read cycle to the LSR, the delay time is bypassed and the UART access cycle proceeds normally.
