The UART1 THRE interrupt (U1IIR[3:1] = 001) is a third level interrupt and is activated
when the UART1 THR FIFO is empty provided certain initialization conditions have been
met. These initialization conditions are intended to give the UART1 THR FIFO a chance to
fill up with data to eliminate many THRE interrupts from occurring at system start-up. The
initialization conditions implement a one character delay minus the stop bit whenever
THRE = 1 and there have not been at least two characters in the U1THR at one time since
the last THRE = 1 event. This delay is provided to give the CPU time to write data to
U1THR without a THRE interrupt to decode and service. A THRE interrupt is set
immediately if the UART1 THR FIFO has held two or more characters at one time and
currently, the U1THR is empty. The THRE interrupt is reset when a U1THR write occurs or
a read of the U1IIR occurs and the THRE is the highest interrupt (U1IIR[3:1] = 001).
The modem interrupt (U1IIR[3:1] = 000) is available in LPC2104/05/06. It is the lowest
priority interrupt and is activated whenever there is any state change on modem inputs
pins, DCD, DSR or CTS. In addition, a LOW to high transition on modem input RI will
generate a modem interrupt. The source of the modem interrupt can be determined by
examining U1MSR[3:0]. A U1MSR read will clear the modem interrupt.

10.3.8 UART1 FIFO Control Register (U1FCR - 0xE001 0008)

The U1FCR controls the operation of the UART1 RX and TX FIFOs.
