14.4.12 UART 2 Miscellaneous Register

The UART 2 miscellaneous (UMISC2) register contains miscellaneous bits to control test features of the

UART 2 module. Some bits, however, are only used for factory testing and should not be used. The bit

position assignments for this register are shown in the following register display. The settings for this

register are described in Table14-14.

Table14-14. UART 2 Miscellaneous Register Description
Name Description Setting
BAUD
TEST
Bit 15
Baud Rate Generator Testing—This bit puts the baud rate
generator in test mode. The integer and non-integer prescal-
ers, as well as the divider, are broken into 4-bit nibbles for test-
ing. This bit should remain 0 for normal operation.
0 = Normal mode.
1 = Test mode.
CLKSRC
Bit 14 Clock Source—This bit selects the source of the 1 x bit clock
for transmission and reception. When this bit is high, the bit
clock is derived directly from the UCLK pin (it must be config-
ured as an input). When it is low (normal), the bit clock is sup-
plied by the baud rate generator. This bit allows high-speed
synchronous applications, in which a clock is provided by the
external system.
0 = Bit clock is generated by the
baud rate generator.
1 = Bit clock is supplied by the
UCLK pin.
FORCE
PERR
Bit 13
Force Parity Error—When this bit is high, it forces the trans-
mitter to generate parity errors, if parity is enabled. This bit is
for system debugging.
0 = Generate normal parity.
1 = Generate inverted parity (error).
LOOP
Bit 12 Loopback—This bit controls loopback for system testing pur-
poses. When this bit is high, the receiver input is internally con-
nected to the transmitter and ignores the RXD2 pin. The TXD2
pin is unaffected by this bit.
0 = Normal receiver operation.
1 = Internally connects the
transmitter output to the
receiver input.
BAUD
RESET
Bit 11
Baud Rate Generator Reset—This bit resets the baud rate
generator counters. 0 = Normal operati on.
1 = Reset baud counters.
IRTEST
Bit 10 Infrared Testing—This bit connects the output of the IrDA cir-
cuitry to the TXD2 pin. This provides test visibility to the IrDA
module.
0 = Normal operation.
1 = IrDA test mode.
Reserved
Bits 9–8 Reserved These bits are reserved and should
be set to 0.
