SCC UART Mode

Freescale Semiconductor

In synchronous UART (isochronous operation), a separate clock signal is explicitly provided with the data.

Start and stop bits are present in synchronous UART, but oversampling is not required because the clock

is provided with each bit.

The general SCC mode register (GSMR) is used to configure an SCC channel to function in UART mode,

which provides standard serial I/O using asynchronous character-based (start-stop) protocols with

RS-232C-type lines. Using standard asynchronous bit rates and protocols, an SCC UART controller can

communicate with any existing RS-232-type device and provides a serial communications port to other

microprocessors and terminals (either locally or via modems). The independent transmit and receive

sections, whose operations are asynchronous with the core, send data from memory (either internal or

external) to TXD and receive data from RXD. The UART controller supports a multidrop mode for

master/slave operations with wake-up capability on both the idle signal and address bit. It also supports

synchronous operation where a clock (internal or external) must be provided with each bit received.

Features

The following list summarizes main features of an SCC UART controller:

•

Flexible message-based data structure

•

Implements synchronous and asynchronous UART

•

Multidrop operation

•

Receiver wake-up on idle line or address bit

•

Receive entire messages into buffers as indicated by receiver idle timeout or by control character

reception

•

Eight control character comparison

•

Two address comparison in multidrop configurations

•

Maintenance of four 16-bit error counters

•

Received break character length indication

•

Programmable data length (5–8 bits)

•

Programmable fractional stop bit lengths (from 9/16 to 2 bits) in transmission

•

Capable of reception without a stop bit

•

Even/odd/force/no parity generation and check

•

Frame error, noise error, break, and idle detection

•

Transmit preamble and break sequences

•

Freeze transmission option with low-latency stop

21.2

Normal Asynchronous Mode

In normal asynchronous mode, the receive shift register receives incoming data on RXDx. Control bits in

the UART mode register (PSMR) define the length and format of the UART character. Bits are received

in the following order:

1. Start bit

2. 5–8 data bits (lsb first)
