REV. 1.3.1 1-CH FULL-SPEED USB UART
1.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS
1.1 USB interface
The USB interface of the V1410 is compliant with the USB 2.0 Full-Speed Specifications. The USB
configuration model presented by the V1410 to the device driver is compatible to the Abstract Control Model of
the USB Communication Device Class (CDC-ACM). The V1410 uses the following set of parameters:
• 1 Control Endpoint
■ Endpoint 0 as outlined in the USB specifications
• 1 Configuration is supported
• 2 interfaces for the UART channel
■ Single interrupt endpoint
■ Bulk-in and bulk-out endpoints
1.1.1 USB Vendor ID
Exar’s USB Vendor ID is 0x04E2. This is the default Vendor ID that is used for the V1410 unless a valid
EEPROM is present on the I2C interface signals. If a valid EEPROM is present, the Vendor ID from the
EEPROM will be used.
1.1.2 USB Product ID
The default USB Product ID for the V1410 is 0x1410. If a valid EEPROM is present, the Product ID from the
EEPROM will be used.
1.2 USB Device Driver
The V1410 device can be used with either a standard CDC-ACM driver or a custom driver. When the CDC-
ACM driver is used, the driver has no knowledge of the V1410 device registers. Because of this, the V1410
device is initialized to the following settings:
TABLE 1: V1410 REGISTER DEFAULTS WITH CDC-ACM DRIVER

REGISTER VALUE NOTES

FLOW_CONTROL 0x01 Hardware flow control

GPIO_MODE 0x01 RTS / CTS flow control

GPIO_DIRECTION 0x08 DTR configured as an output (in addition to RTS which is set by
GPIO_MODE)

GPIO_INT_MASK 0x30 CD and DSR are interrupt sensitive, i.e. can cause a USB inter-
rupt to be generated

Note that when using a CDC-ACM driver, the V1410 will automatically change the bMaxPacketSize to 63 bytes
to compensate for a known issue with the Microsoft CDC-ACM device driver. A register is available to change
this setting with a custom driver as well. See “Section 3.4.1, CUSTOM Register Description (Read/Write)”
on page 22 and “Section 1.5.2.1, Wide mode Receive” on page 7.

1-CH FULL-SPEED USB UART REV. 1.3.1

1.3 I2C Interface

The I2C interface provides connectivity to an external I2C memory device (i.e. EEPROM) that can be read by
the V1410 for configuration.
The SDA and SCL are used to specify whether Remote Wakeup and/or Bus Powered configurations are to be
supported. These pins are sampled at power-up. The following table describes how Remote Wakeup and Bus
Powered support.

SUPPORT

1 1 No Self-Powered

1 0 No Bus-Powered

0 1 Yes Self-Powered

0 0 Yes Bus-Powered

1.3.1 EEPROM Contents

The I2C address should be 0xA0. An EEPROM can be used to override default Vendor IDs and Device IDs, as
well as other attributes and maximum power consumption. The EEPROM must contain 8 bytes of data as
specified in Table 3
TABLE 3: EEPROM CONTENTS

1 Vendor ID (MSB)

2 Product ID (LSB)

3 Product ID (MSB)

4 Device Attributes

6 Reserved

7 Signature of 0x58 (’X’). If the signature is not correct, the contents of the EEPROM are ignored.

These values are uploaded from the EEPROM to the corresponding USB Standard Device Descriptor or
Standard Configuration Descriptor. For details of the USB Descriptors, refer to the USB 2.0 specifications.
1.3.1.1 Vendor ID
The Vendor ID value replaces the idVendor field in the USB Standard Device Descriptor.
1.3.1.2 Product ID
The Product ID value replaces the idProduct field in the USB Standard Device Descriptor.
1.3.1.3 Device Attributes
The Device Attributes value replaces the bmAttributes field in the USB Standard Configuration Descriptor. The
default setting in the V1410 device is 0xA0. The bit field definitions are:
• Bit 7 is reserved - set to ’1’

6
 XR21V1410
REV. 1.3.1 1-CH FULL-SPEED USB UART
• Bit 6 is Self-powered mode - set to ’0’ for bus-powered, set to ’1’ for self-powered
• Bit 5 is Remote Wakeup support - set to ’0’ for no support, set to ’1’ for remote wakeup support
• Bit 4:0 are reserved - set to ’0’
1.3.1.4 Device Maximum Power
The Device Maximum Power value replaces the bMaxPower field in the USB Standard Configuration
Descriptor. The value specified is in units of 2 mA. For example, the value 0x2F is decimal 47 or 94 mA. Note
that the default bMaxPower of the V1410 device is 94 mA.
1.4 UART Manager
The UART Manager enables/disables the UART including the TX and RX FIFOs. The UART Manager is
located in a separate register block from the UART registers.
1.5 UART
The UART can be configured via USB control transfers from the USB host. The UART transmitter and receiver
sections are described seperately in the following sections. At power-up, the V1410 will default to 9600 bps, 8
data bits, no parity bit, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. If a standard CDC driver accesses the V1410, defaults
will change. See ”Section 1.2, USB Device Driver” on page 5.
1.5.1 Transmitter
The transmitter consists of a 128-byte TX FIFO and a Transmit Shift Register (TSR). Once a bulk-out packet
has been received and the CRC has been validated, the data bytes in that packet are written into the TX FIFO
of the specified UART channel. Data from the TX FIFO is transferred to the TSR when the TSR is idle or has
completed sending the previous data byte. The TSR shifts the data out onto the TX output pin at the data rate
defined by the CLOCK_DIVISOR and TX_CLOCK_MASK registers. The transmitter sends the start bit
followed by the data bits (starting with the LSB), inserts the proper parity-bit if enabled, and adds the stop-
bit(s). The transmitter can be configured for 7 or 8 data bits with or without parity or 9 data bits without parity.
If 9 bit data is selected without wide mode, the 9th bit will always be ’0’.
1.5.1.1 Wide Mode Transmit
When both 9 bit data and wide mode are enabled, two bytes of data must be written. The first byte that is
loaded into the TX FIFO are the first 8 bits (data bits 7-0) of the 9-bit data. Bit-0 of the second byte that is
loaded into the TX FIFO is bit-8 of the 9-bit data. The data that is transmitted on the TX pin is as follows: start
bit, 9-bit data, stop bit. Use the WIDE_MODE register to enable wide mode.
1.5.2 Receiver
The receiver consists of a 384-byte RX FIFO and a Receive Shift Register (RSR). Data that is received in the
RSR via the RX pin is transferred into the RX FIFO along with any error tags such as Framing, Parity, Break
and Overrun errors. Data from the RX FIFO can be sent to the USB host by sending a bulk-in packet.
If the wide mode is not enabled, then 7 or 8 bits of data and optionally a parity bit are transferred to the USB
host.
1.5.2.1 Wide mode Receive
In wide mode, the V1410 receives a 7, 8 or 9 bit character and then forwards the character along with 3
associated error bits to the USB host in two bytes. If data is 7 or 8 bits, a parity bit is also received and checked
if enabled. If data is 9 bits, no parity is checked. The 9th bit of data is in bit position 0 along with the 3 error bits,
break, frame error and overrun error flags in bit positions 1, 2 & 3 respectively. In wide mode, the parity and
framing error and break flag are associated with the character that they accompany and the overrun error is
tied to the current contents of the entire RX FIFO.

Error flags are also available from the ERROR_STATUS register and the interrupt packet, however these flags
are historical flags indicating that an error has occurred since the previous read of the status register.
Therefore, no conclusion can be drawn as to which specific byte(s) may have contained an actual error in this
manner.
1.5.3 GPIO
There are 6 GPIOs. By default, the GPIOs are general purpose I/Os. However, there are few modes that can
be enabled to add additional feature such as Auto RTS/CTS Flow control, Auto DTR/DSR Flow Control or
Transceiver Enable Control. See Table 14.
1.5.4 Automatic RTS/CTS Hardware Flow Control
GPIO5 and GPIO4 of the UART channel can be enabled as the RTS# and CTS# signals for Auto RTS/CTS
flow control when GPIO_MODE[2:0] = ’001’ and FLOW_CONTROL[2:0] = ’001’. Automatic RTS flow control is
used to prevent data overrun errors in local RX FIFO by de-asserting the RTS signal to the remote UART.
When there is room in the RX FIFO, the RTS pin will be re-asserted. Automatic CTS flow control is used to
prevent data overrun to the remote RX FIFO. The CTS# input is monitored to suspend/restart the local
transmitter (see Figure 4):

1.5.5 Automatic DTR/DSR Hardware Flow Control

Auto DTR/DSR hardware flow control behaves the same as the Auto RTS/CTS hardware flow control
described above except that it uses the DTR# and DSR# signals. For Auto hardware flow control,
FLOW_CONTROL[2:0] = ’001’. GPIO3 and GPIO2 become DTR# and DSR#, respectively, when
GPIO_MODE[2:0] = ’010’.
1.5.6 Automatic XON/XOFF Software Flow Control
When software flow control is enabled, the V1410 compares the receive data characters with the programmed
Xon or Xoff characters. If the received character matches the programmed Xoff character, the V1410 will halt
transmission as soon as the current character has completed transmission. Data transmission is resumed
when a received character matches the Xon character. Software flow control is enabled when
FLOW_CONTROL[2:0] = ’010’.
1.5.7 Multidrop Mode with address matching
The V1410 device has two address matching modes which are also set by the flow control register using
modes 3 and 4. These modes are intended for a multi-drop network application. In these modes, the
XON_CHAR register holds a unicast address and the XOFF_CHAR holds a multicast address. A unicast
address is used by a transmitting master to broadcast an address to all attached slave devices that is intended
for only one slave device. A multicast address is used to broadcast an address intended for more than one
recipient device. Each attached slave device should have a unique unicast address value stored in the
XON_CHAR register, while multiple slaves may have the same multicast adderss stored in the XOFF_CHAR
register. An address match occurs when an address byte (9th bit or parity bit is ’1’) is received that matches the
value stored in either the XON_CHAR or XOFF_CHAR register.

9
XR21V1410
1-CH FULL-SPEED USB UART REV. 1.3.1

1.5.7.1 Receiver
If an address match occurs in either flow control mode 3 or 4, the address byte will not be loaded into the RX
FIFO, but all subsequent data bytes will be loaded into the RX FIFO. The UART Receiver will automatically be
disabled when an address byte is received that does not match the values in the XON_CHAR or XOFF_CHAR
register.
1.5.7.2 Transmitter
In flow control mode 3, the UART transmitter is always enabled, irrespective of the Rx address match. In flow
control mode 4, the UART transmitter will only be enabled if there is an Rx address match.
1.5.8 Programmable Turn-Around Delay
By default, the GPIO5/RTS# pin will be de-asserted immediately after the stop bit of the last byte has been
shifted. However, this may not be ideal for systems where the signal needs to propagate over long cables.
Therefore, the de-assertion of GPIO5/RTS# pin can be delayed from 1 to 15 bit times via the
XCVR_EN_DELAY register to allow for the data to reach distant UARTs.
1.5.9 Half-Duplex Mode
Half-duplex mode is enabled when FLOW_CONTROL[3] = 1. In this mode, the UART will ignore any data on
the RX input when the UART is transmitting data.
1.5.10 RX FIFO Latency
In normal operation all bulk-in transfers will be of maxPacketSize (64) bytes to improve throughput and to
minimize USB host processing. However, in cases where the baud rate is low this may increase latency
unacceptably. To compensate, the V1410 device has a low latency mode in which received data bytes will be
immediately forwarded at the next BULK_IN packet. The Low Latency mode will be automatically set from a
CDC_ACM_IF_SET_LINE_CODING command whenever the baud rate is less than 46921 bps or alternately a
custom driver may set the RX_FIFO_LOW_LATENCY register bit to force RX data to be delivered without
delay.
1.5.11 Remote Wakeup
Per USB standard, the V1410 device will begin to enter the Suspend state if it does not detect any activity
(including SOF packets) on its USB data lines for 3 ms. The GPIO0/RI#/RWK# pin can be used to request that
the host exit the Suspend state. A high to low transition on this pin will cause the device to signal a remote
wakeup request to the host via a custom driver. Note that the standard CDC-ACM driver does not support this
feature. In order for the remote wakeup to work, several things must be properly configured. First, the GPIO0/
RI#/RWK# pin must be configured as an input. Additionally, the V1410 device must have the remote wakeup
feature support indicated in the USB attributes - See “Section 1.3, I2C Interface” on page 6. Lastly, a
custom software driver must inform the USB host that the peripheral device supports the remote wake-up
feature.

3.3 UART Register Descriptions
All register bits default to a value of ’0’ unless otherwise noted.
3.3.1 UART_ENABLE Register Description (Read/Write)
This register enables the UART TX and RX. For proper functionality, the UART TX and RX must be enabled in
the following order:
FIFO_ENABLE = 0x1 // Enable TX FIFO
UART_ENABLE = 0x3 // Enable TX and RX of that channel
FIFO_ENABLE = 0x3 // Enable RX FIFO
UART_ENABLE[0]: Enable UART TX
• Logic 0 = UART TX disabled.
• Logic 1 = UART TX enabled.
UART_ENABLE[1]: Enable UART RX
• Logic 0 = UART RX disabled.
• Logic 1 = UART RX enabled.
UART_ENABLE[7:2]: Reserved
These bits are reserved and should remain ’0’.
3.3.2 CLOCK_DIVISOR0, CLOCK_DIVISOR1, CLOCK_DIVISOR2 Register Description (Read/Write)
These registers are used for programming the baud rate. The V1410 uses a 19-bit divisor and 16-bit mask
register. Using the internal 48MHz oscillator, the 19-bit divisor is calculated as follows:
CLOCK_DIVISOR = Trunc ( 48000000 / Baud Rate )
For example, if the the baud rate is 115200bps, then
CLOCK_DIVISOR = Trunc ( 48000000 / 115200 ) = Trunc (416.66667) = 416
CLOCK_DIVISOR0[7:0]: Baud rate clock divisor bits [7:0]
CLOCK_DIVISOR1[7:0]: Baud rate clock divisor bits [15:8]
CLOCK_DIVISOR2[2:0]: Baud rate clock divisor bits [18:16]
CLOCK_DIVISOR2[7:3]: Reserved
These bits are reserved and should remain ’0’.
3.3.3 TX_CLOCK_MASK0, TX_CLOCK_MASK1 Register Description (Read/Write)
A look-up table is used for the value of the 16-bit TX Clock mask registers. The index of the look-up table is
calculated as follows:
index = Trunc ( ( ( 48000000 / Baud Rate ) - CLOCK_DIVISOR ) * 32)
For example, if the baud rate is 115200bps, then the index will be:
index = Trunc ( ( ( 48000000 / 115200 ) - 416 ) * 32) = Trunc (21.3333) = 21
The values for some baud rates to program the TX_CLOCK_MASK registers are listed in Table 8. For baud
rates that are not listed, use the index to select TX_CLOCK_MASK register values from Table 9.
3.3.4 RX_CLOCK_MASK0, RX_CLOCK_MASK1 Register Description (Read/Write)
The values for some example baud rates to program the RX_CLOCK_MASK registers are listed in Table 8.
For baud rates that are not listed, use the same index calculated for the TX_CLOCK_MASK register to select
RX_CLOCK_MASK register values from Table 9.
