Modulation and Demodulation

If the shift register is used together with Timer 2 or Timer 3 for modulation or demodulation pur-

poses, the 8-bit synchronous mode must be used. In this case, the unused Port 4 pins can be

used as conventional bi-directional ports.

The modulation and demodulation stages, if enabled, operate as soon as the SSI is activated

(SIR = 0) and cease when deactivated (SIR = 1).

Due to the byte-orientated data control, the SSI (when running normally) generates serial bit

streams which are submultiples of 8 bits. An SSI output masking (OMSK) function permits, how-

ever, the generation of bit streams of any length. The OMSK signal is derived indirectly from the

4-bit prescaler of the Timer 2 and masks out a programmable number of unrequired trailing data

bits during the shifting out of the final data word in the bit stream. The number of non-masked

data bits is defined by the value pre-programmed in the prescaler compare register. To use out-

put masking, the modulator stop mode bit (MSM) must be set to '0' before programming the final

data word into the SSI transmit buffer. This in turn, enables shift clocks to the prescaler when

this final word is shifted out. On reaching the compare value, the prescaler triggers the OMSK

signal and all following data bits are blanked.

Internal 2-wire Multi-chip Link

Two additional on-chip pads (MCL_SC and MCL_SD) for the SC and the SD line can be used as

chip-to-chip link for multi-chip applications. These pads can be activated by setting the MCL bit

in the SISC register. They are also used as interface to the internal data EEPROM
