8XC196NP, 80C196NU USER’S MANUAL

An independent, 15-bit baud-rate generator controls the baud rate of the serial port. Either the in- ternal peripheral clock or T1CLK can provide the clock signal. The baud-rate register (SP_BAUD) selects the clock source and the baud rate.

8.2SERIAL I/O PORT SIGNALS AND REGISTERS

Table 8-1 describes the SIO signals and Table 8-2 describes the control and status registers.

P2.0

TXD

O

Transmit Serial Data

 

 

 

In modes 1, 2, and 3, TXD transmits serial port output data. In mode 0,

 

 

 

it is the serial clock output.

 

 

 

 

P2.1

RXD

I/O

Receive Serial Data

 

 

 

In modes 1, 2, and 3, RXD receives serial port input data. In mode 0, it

 

 

 

functions as an input or an open-drain output for data.

 

 

 

 

P1.4

T1CLK

Description

 

 

 

INT_MASK

0013H

Interrupt Mask

 

 

Setting the TI bit enables the transmit interrupt; clearing the bit

 

 

disables (masks) the interrupt.

 

 

Setting the RI bit enables the receive interrupt; clearing the bit

 

 

disables (masks) the interrupt.

 

 

 

INT_PEND

0012H

Interrupt Pending

 

 

When set, the TI bit indicates a pending transmit interrupt.

 

 

When set, the RI bit indicates a pending receive interrupt.

 

 

 

P1_DIR

1FD2H

Port 1 Direction

 

 

This register selects the direction of each port 1 pin. To use T1CLK

 

 

as the input clock to the baud-rate generator, clear P1_DIR.4.

 

 

 

P1_MODE

1FD0H

Port 1 Mode

 

 

This register selects either the general-purpose input/output function

 

 

or the peripheral function for each pin of port 1. To use T1CLK as the

 

 

clock source for the baud-rate generator, set P1_MODE.4 to

 

 

configure T1CLK (P1.4) for the SIO port.
