Receiver/Transmitter (UART)

Block Diagram

The SC28L91 UART consists of the following seven major sections:

data bus buffer, operation control, interrupt control, timing, Rx and

Tx FIFO Buffers, input port and output port control. Refer to the

Block Diagram.

Data Bus Buffer

The data bus buffer provides the interface between the external and

internal data buses. It is controlled by the operation control block to

allow read and write operations to take place between the controlling

CPU and the UART.

Operation Control

The operation control logic receives operation commands from the

CPU and generates appropriate signals to internal sections to

control device operation. It contains address decoding and read and

write circuits to permit communications with the microprocessor via

the data bus.

Interrupt Control

A single active-Low interrupt output (INTRN) is provided which is

activated upon the occurrence of any of eight internal events.

Associated with the interrupt system are the Interrupt Mask Register

(IMR) and the Interrupt Status Register (ISR). The IMR can be

programmed to select only certain conditions to cause INTRN to be

asserted. The ISR can be read by the CPU to determine all currently

active interrupting conditions. Outputs OP3–OP7 can be

programmed to provide discrete interrupt outputs for the transmitter,

receiver, and counter/timer. Programming the OP3 to OP7 pins as

interrupts causes their output buffers to change to an open drain

active low configuration. The OP pins may be used for DMA and

modem control as well. (See output port notes).

FIFO Configuration

Each receiver and transmitter has a 16 byte FIFO. These FIFOs

may be configured to operate at a fill capacity of either 8 or 16 bytes.

This feature may be used if it is desired to operate the 28L91 in

close compliance to 26C92 software. The 8-byte/16-byte mode is

controlled by the MR0[3] bit. A 0 value for this bit sets the 8-bit mode

( the default); a 1 sets the 16-byte mode.

The FIFO fill interrupt level automatically follow the programming of

the MR0[3] bit. See Tables 3 and 4.

68XXX mode

When the I/M pin is connected to VSS (ground), the operation of the

SC28L91 switches to the bus interface compatible with the Motorola

bus interfaces. Several of the pins change their function as follows:

•IP6 becomes IACKN input

•RDN becomes DACKN

•WRN becomes R/WN

The interrupt vector is enabled and the interrupt vector will be placed

on the data bus when IACKN is asserted low. The interrupt vector

register is located at address 0xC. The contents of this register are

set to 0x0F on the application of RESETN.

The generation of DACKN uses two positive edges of the X1 clock

as the DACKN delay from the falling edge of CEN. If the CEN is

withdrawn before two edges of the X1 clock occur, the

generation of DACKN is terminated. Systems not strictly requiring

DACKN may use the 68XXX mode with the bus timing of the 80XXX

mode greatly decreasing the bus cycle time.

TIMING CIRCUITS

Crystal Clock

The timing block consists of a crystal oscillator, a baud rate

generator, a programmable 16-bit counter/timer, and four clock

selectors. The crystal oscillator operates directly from a crystal

connected across the X1/CLK and X2 inputs. If an external clock of

the appropriate frequency is available, it may be connected to

X1/CLK. The clock serves as the basic timing reference for the Baud

Rate Generator (BRG), the counter/timer, and other internal circuits.

A clock signal within the limits specified in the specifications section

of this data sheet must always be supplied to the UART. If an

external clock is used instead of a crystal, X1 should be driven using

a configuration similar to the one in Figure 11. X2 should be open or

driving a nominal gate load. Nominal crystal rate is 3.6864 MHz.

Rates up to 8 MHz may be used.

BRG

The baud rate generator operates from the oscillator or external

clock input and is capable of generating 28 commonly used data

communications baud rates ranging from 50 to 38.4 K baud.

Programming bit 0 of MR0 to a “1” gives additional baud rates of

57.6 kB, 115.2 kB and 230.4 kB (500 kHz with X1 at 8.0 MHz).

These will be in the 16X mode. A 3.6864 MHz crystal or external

clock must be used to get the standard baud rates. The clock

outputs from the BRG are at 16X the actual baud rate. The

counter/timer can be used as a timer to produce a 16X clock for any

other baud rate by counting down the crystal clock or an external

clock. The four clock selectors allow the independent selection, for

the receiver and transmitter, of any of these baud rates or external

timing signal.

Counter/Timer

The counter timer is a 16-bit programmable divider that operates in

one of three modes: counter, timer, and time out. In the timer mode it

generates a square wave. In the counter mode it generates a time

delay. In the time out mode it monitors the time between received

characters. The C/T uses the numbers loaded into the

Counter/Timer Lower Register (CTLR) and the Counter/Timer Upper

Register (CTUR) as its divisor.

The counter/timer clock source and mode of operation (counter or

timer) is selected by the Auxiliary Control Register bits 6 to 4

(ACR[6:4]). The output of the counter/timer may be used for a baud

rate and/or may be output to the OP pins for some external function

that may be totally unrelated to data transmission. The counter/timer

also sets the counter/timer ready bit in the Interrupt Status Register

(ISR) when its output transitions from 1 to 0. A register read address

(see Table 1) is reserved to issue a start counter/timer command

and a second register read address is reserved to issue a stop

command. The value of D[7:0] is ignored. The START command

always loads the contents of CTUR, CTLR to the counting registers.

The STOP command always resets the ISR[3] bit in the interrupt

status register.

Timer Mode

In the timer mode a symmetrical square wave is generated whose

half period is equal in time to division of the selected counter/timer

clock frequency by the 16-bit number loaded in the CTLR CTUR.

Thus, the frequency of the counter/timer output will be equal to the

counter/timer clock frequency divided by twice the value of the

CTUR CTLR. While in the timer mode the ISR bit 3 (ISR[3]) will be

set each time the counter/timer transitions from 1 to 0. (High to low)
