21.17 SCC UART Receive Buffer Descriptor (RxBD)

The CPM uses RxBDs to report on each buffer received. The CPM closes the current buffer, generates a

maskable interrupt, and starts receiving data into the next buffer after one of the following occurs:

A user-defined control character is received.

An error occurs during message processing.

A full receive buffer is detected.

A MAX_IDL number of consecutive idle characters is received.

7 RZS Receive zero stop bits.
0 The receiver operates normally, but at least one stop bit is needed between characters. A framing
error is issued if a stop bit is missing. Break status is set if an all-zero character is received with
a zero stop bit.
1 Configures the receiver to receive data without stop bits. Useful in V.14 applications where SCC
UART controller data is supplied synchronously and all stop bits of a particular character can be
omitted for cross-network rate adaptation. RZS should be set only if SYN is set. The receiver
continues if a stop bit is missing. If the stop bit is a zero, the next bit is considered the first data
bit of the next character. A framing error is issued if a stop bit is missing, but a break status is
reported only after two consecutive break characters have no stop bits.
8 SYN Synchronous mode.
0 Normal asynchronous operation. GSMR_L[TENC,RENC] must select NRZ and GSMR_L[TDCR,
RDCR] select either 8×, 16×, or 32×. 16× is recommended for most applications.
1 Synchronous SCC UART controller using 1× clock (isochronous UART operation).
GSMR_L[TENC, RENC] must select NRZ and GSMR_L[RDCR, TDCR] select 1× mode. A bit is
transferred with each clock and is synchronous to the clock, which can be internal or external.
9 DRT Disable receiver while tran smitting.
0 Normal operation.
1 While the SCC is sending data, the internal RTS disables and gates the receiver. Useful for a
multidrop configuration in which the user does not want to receive its own transmission. For
multidrop UART mode, set the BDs’ preamble bit, TxBD[P].
Note:If DRT = 1, GSMR_H[CDS] should be cleared unless both of the following are true: the same
clock is used for TCLK and RCLK, and CTS either has synchronous timing or is always
asserted.
10 Reserved, should be cleared.
11 PEN Parity enable.
0No parity.
1 Parity is enabled and determined by the parity mode bits.

Receiver/transmitter parity mode. Selects the type of parity check the receiver/transmitter performs;
can be modified on-the-fly. Receive parity errors can be ignored but not disabled.
00 Odd parity. If a transmitter counts an even number of ones in the data word, it sets the parity bit
so an odd number is sent. If a receiver receives an even number, a parity error is reported.
01 Low parity (space parity). A transmitter sends a zero in the parity bit position. If a receiver does
not read a 0 in the parity bit, a parity error is reported.
10 Even parity. Like odd parity, the transmitter adjusts the parity bit, as necessary, to ensure that
the receiver receives an even number of one bits; otherwise, a parity error is reported.
11 High parity (mark parity). The transmitter sends a one in the parity bit position. If the receiver
does not read a 1 in the parity bit, a parity error is reported.
