PRODUCTION DATA
Autoflow control is comprised of auto-CTS and auto-RTS. With auto-CTS, the CTS input must be active before the transmitter FIFO can emit data. With auto-RTS, RTS becomes active when the receiver needs more data and notifies the sending serial device. When RTS is connected to CTS, data transmission does not occur unless the receiver FIFO has space for the data; thus, overrun errors are eliminated using ACE1 and ACE2 from a TLC16C550C with the autoflow control enabled. If not, overrun errors occur when the transmit data rate exceeds the receiver FIFO read latency.
