26.3.3.2 Mode Register 2 (PSCMR2n)

PSCMR2 controls some of the module configuration. It is accessed when the mode register pointer points

to PSCMR2, which occurs after any access to PSCMR1. Access to PSCMR2 does not change the pointer.

The pointer is set to the mode register 1 by reset or by a set pointer command using the MISC[2:0] bits in

the command register (PSCCR).

Table 26-3. PSCMR1n Field Descriptions

Bits Name Description
7 RXRTS Receiver request-to-send (UART and SIR modes only). Allows the PSCnRTS output to control the
PSCnCTS input of the transmitting device to prevent receiver overrun. If both the receiver and
transmitter are incorrectly programmed for PSCnRTS control, PSCnRTS control is disabled for
both. Transmitter RTS control is configured in PSCMR2n[TxRTS].
0 The receiver has no effect on PSCnRTS.
1 When a valid start bit is received, PSCnRTS is negated if the UART's FIFO is full. PSCnRTS is
reasserted when the FIFO has an empty position available.
6RXIRQ/
FU
Receiver interrupt select (all modes).
0 RxRDY is the source that generates IRQ or DMA request.
1 FU is the source that generates IRQ or DMA request.
5 ERR Error mode (UART mode only). Configures the FIFO status bits, USRn[RB,FE,PE].
0 Character mode. The PSCSRn values reflect the status of the character at the top of the FIFO.
ERR must be 0 for correct A/D flag information when in multidrop mode.
1 Block mode. The PSCSRn values are the logical OR of the status for all characters reaching the
top of the FIFO since the last RESET ERROR STATUS command for the channel was issued. See
Section 26.3.3.5, “Command Register (PSCCRn).”
This bit is fixed to 1. It is provided for compatibility with previous implementations.
4–3 PM Parity mode (UART mode only). Selects the parity or multidrop mode for the channel. The parity
bit is added to the transmitted character, and the receiver performs a parity check on incoming
data. The value of PM affects PT, as shown in the table displayed below in the PT field description.
2 PT Parity type (UART mode only). PM and PT together select parity type (PM = 0x) or determine
whether a data or address character is transmitted (PM = 11).
1–0 BC Bits per character (UART mode only). Select the number of data bits per character to be sent. The
values shown do not include start, parity, or stop bits.
