Description

 

 

 

SP_STATUS

1FB9H

Serial Port Status

 

 

This register contains the serial port status bits. It has status bits for

 

 

receive overrun errors (OE), transmit buffer empty (TXE), framing

 

 

errors (FE), transmit interrupt (TI), receive interrupt (RI), and

 

 

received parity error (RPE) or received bit 8 (RB8). Reading

 

 

SP_STATUS clears all bits except TXE; writing a byte to SBUF_TX

 

 

clears the TXE bit.

 

 

 

8.3SERIAL PORT MODES

The serial port has both synchronous and asynchronous operating modes for transmission and re- ception. This section describes the operation of each mode.

8.3.1Synchronous Mode (Mode 0)

The most common use of mode 0, the synchronous mode, is to expand the I/O capability of the device with shift registers (see Figure 8-2). In this mode, the TXD pin outputs a set of eight clock pulses, while the RXD pin either transmits or receives data. Data is transferred eight bits at a time with the least-significant bit first. Figure 8-3 shows a diagram of the relative timing of these sig- nals. Note that only mode 0 uses RXD as an open-drain output.
