Operation

7.2.6Serial Control Signal (SC2)

ESSI0:SC02; ESSI1:SC12

SC2 is a frame sync I/O signal for both the transmitter and receiver in Synchronous mode and for the transmitter only in Asynchronous mode. The direction of this signal is determined by the SCD2 bit in the CRB. When configured as an output, this signal outputs the internally generated frame sync signal. When configured as an input, this signal receives an external frame sync signal for the transmitter in Asynchronous mode and for both the transmitter and receiver when in Synchronous mode. SC2 can be programmed as a GPIO signal (P2) when the ESSI SC2 function is not in use.

7.3Operation

This section discusses ESSI basics: reset state, initialization, and exceptions.

7.3.1ESSI After Reset

A hardware RESET signal or software RESET instruction clears the port control register and the port direction control register, thus configuring all the ESSI signals as GPIO. The ESSI is in the reset state while all ESSI signals are programmed as GPIO; it is active only if at least one of the ESSI I/O signals is programmed as an ESSI signal.

7.3.2Initialization

To initialize the ESSI, do the following:

1.Send a reset: hardware RESET signal, software RESET instruction, ESSI individual reset, or STOP instruction reset.

2.Program the ESSI control and time slot registers.

3.Write data to all the enabled transmitters.

4.Configure at least one signal as ESSI signal.

5.If an external frame sync is used, from the moment the ESSI is activated, at least five

(5) serial clocks are needed before the first external frame sync is supplied. Otherwise, improper operation may result.

When the PC[5–0] bits in the GPIO Port Control Register (PCR) are cleared during program execution, the ESSI stops serial activity and enters the individual reset state. All status bits of the interface are set to their reset state. The contents of CRA and CRB are not affected. The ESSI individual reset allows a program to reset each interface separately from the other internal peripherals. During ESSI individual reset, internal DMA accesses to the data registers of the ESSI are not valid, and data read there are undefined. To ensure proper operation of the
