STP—Stop Mode Bit

1 = The serial module will be disabled. Setting the STP bit stops all clocks within the serial module (including the crystal or external clock and SCLK), except for the clock from the IMB. The clock from the IMB remains active to allow CPU32 access to the MCR. The clock stops on the low phase of the clock and remains stopped until the STP bit is cleared by the CPU32 or a hardware reset. Accesses to serial module registers while in stop mode produce a bus error. The serial module should be disabled in a known state prior to setting the STP bit; otherwise, unpredictable results may occur. The STP bit should be set prior to executing the LPSTOP instruction to reduce overall power consumption.

0 = The serial module is enabled and will operate in normal mode. When STP = 0, make sure the external crystal is stable (XTAL_RDY bit (bit 3) of the interrupt status register (ISR) is zero) before continuing.

NOTE

The serial module should be disabled (i.e., the STP bit in the MCR is set) before executing the LPSTOP instruction to obtain the lowest power consumption. The X1/X2 oscillator will continue to run during LPSTOP if STP = 0.

FRZ1–FRZ0—Freeze

These bits determine the action taken when the FREEZE signal is asserted on the IMB when the CPU32 has entered background debug mode. Table 7-1 lists the action taken for each combination of bits.

Freeze on Character Boundary

If FREEZE is asserted, channel A and channel B freeze independently of each other. The transmitter and receiver freeze at character boundaries. The transmitter does not freeze in the send break mode. Communications can be lost if the channel is not programmed to support flow control. See Section 5 CPU32 for more information on

FREEZE.

ICCS—Input Capture Clock Select

1 = Selects SCLK as the clear-to-send input capture clock for both channels. Clear- to-send operation is enabled by setting bit 4 in MR2. The data is captured on the CTSpins on the rising edge of the clock.

0 = The crystal clock is the clear-to-send input capture clock for both channels.

MC68340 specifications

The Motorola MC68340 is a highly integrated microprocessor that was introduced in the early 1990s. It belongs to the 68000 family of microprocessors and is designed to cater to the demands of embedded systems, particularly in telecommunications and networking applications. This chip represents a significant evolution in microprocessor technology by combining a microprocessor core with additional peripherals on a single chip, making it an attractive solution for engineers looking to design compact and efficient systems.

One of the key features of the MC68340 is its 32-bit architecture, which allows for significant processing power and data handling capabilities. This architecture enables the processor to handle larger data sizes and perform more complex calculations compared to its 16-bit predecessors. The MC68340 operates at clock speeds typically ranging from 16 MHz to 25 MHz. Its dual instruction pipeline enhances throughput, allowing for simultaneous instruction fetches and executions, which significantly boosts performance.

A notable characteristic of the MC68340 is the inclusion of integrated peripherals, which help reduce the overall component count in a system. Key integrated components include a memory management unit (MMU), a direct memory access (DMA) controller, and various communication interfaces such as serial ports. The memory management capabilities enhance the processor's ability to manage memory resources efficiently, enabling it to support multitasking environments commonly found in modern computing.

In terms of connectivity, the MC68340 features connections for both synchronous and asynchronous serial communication, making it well-suited for networking tasks. The processor supports a range of bus standards, including address and data buses, which facilitate seamless interaction with peripheral devices.

Another important aspect of the MC68340 is its flexibility. The processor supports multiple operating modes, including multiple CPU configurations and compatibility with the Motorola 68000 family, allowing for easier integration into existing systems.

Moreover, the MC68340 boasts low power consumption compared to many of its contemporaries, making it an excellent choice for battery-operated applications, enhancing its appeal in sectors like telecommunications, industrial control, and automotive systems. Its combination of performance, integration, versatility, and efficiency has secured the MC68340 a reputable position in the annals of embedded systems technology, proving to be a valuable asset for developers and engineers alike.
