DESCRIPTION
The Philips Semiconductors SCN2681 Dual Universal
Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (DUART) is a single-chip
MOS-LSI communications device that provides two independent
full-duplex asynchronous receiver/transmitter channels in a single
package. It interfaces directly with microprocessors and may be
used in a polled or interrupt driven system.
The operating mode and data format of each channel can be
programmed independently. Additionally, each receiver and
transmitter can select its operating speed as one of eighteen fixed
baud rates, a 16X clock derived from a programmable counter/timer,
or an external 1X or 16X clock. The baud rate generator and
counter/timer can operate directly from a crystal or from external
clock inputs. The ability to independently program the operating
speed of the receiver and transmitter make the DUART particularly
attractive for dual-speed channel applications such as clustered
terminal systems.
Each receiver is quadruply buffered to minimize the potential of
receiver over-run or to reduce interrupt overhead in interrupt driven
systems. In addition, a flow control capability is provided to disable
a remote DUART transmitter when the buffer of the receiving device
is full.
Also provided on the SCN2681 are a multipurpose 7-bit input port
and a multipurpose 8-bit output port. These can be used as general
purpose I/O ports or can be assigned specific functions (such as
clock inputs or status/interrupt outputs) under program control.
The SCN2681 is available in three package versions: 40-pin and
28pin, both 0.6" wide DIPs; a compact 24-pin 0.4" wide DIP; and a
44-pin PLCC.

2. Parameters are valid over specified temperature range.
3. All voltage measurements are referenced to ground (GND). For testing, all inputs except X1/CLK swing between 0.4V and 2.4V with a
transition time of < 20ns. For X1/CLK this swing is between 0.4V and 4.4V. All time measurements are referenced at input voltages of 0.8V
and 2.0V as appropriate.

.
6. Timing is illustrated and referenced to the WRN and RDN inputs. The device may also be operated with CEN as the `strobing' input. In this
case, all timing specifications apply referenced to the falling and rising edges of CEN, CEN and RDN (also CEN and WRN) are ANDed
internally. As a consequence, the signal asserted last initiates the cycle and the signal negated first terminates the cycle.
7. If CEN is used as the `strobing' input, the parameter defines the minimum High times between one CEN and the next. The RDN signal must
be negated for t
RWD
to guarantee that any status register changes are valid.
8. Consecutive write operations to the same command register require at least three edges of the X1 clock between writes.
9. This parameter is not applicable to the 28-pin device.
10. Operation to 0MHz is assured by design. However, operation at low frequencies is not tested and has not been characterized.

BLOCK DIAGRAM
The SCN2681 DUART consists of the following eight major sections:
data bus buffer, operation control, interrupt control, timing,
communications Channels A and B, input port and output port.
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 DUART.
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 buffer.
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
Philips Semiconductors

(IMR) and the Interrupt Status Register (ISR). The IMR may 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, receivers, and counter/timer.
Timing Circuits
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 3.6864MHz
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 DUART.
If an external clock is used instead of a crystal, both X1 and X2
should use a configuration similar to the one in Figure 7.
The baud rate generator operates from the oscillator or external
clock input and is capable of generating 18 commonly used data
communications baud rates ranging from 50 to 38.4k baud. 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
each receiver and transmitter, of any of these baud rates or external
timing signal.
Counter/Timer (C/T)
The counter timer is a 16 bit programmable divider that operates
one of three modes: Counter, Timer or Time Out mode. In all three
modes it uses the 16-bit value loaded to the CTUR and CTLR
registers. (Counter timer upper and lower preset registers).
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 receiver data flow and signals
data flow has paused. In the time out mode the receiver controls
the starting/stopping of the C/T.
The counter operates as a down counter and sets its output bit in
the ISR (Interrupt Status Register) each time it passes through 0.
The output of the counter/timer may be seen on one of the OP pins
or as an Rx or Tx clock.
The Timer/Counter is controlled with six (6) "commands"; Start C/T,
Stop C/T, write C/T, preset registers, read C/T value, set or reset
time out mode.
Please see the detail of the commands under the Counter/Timer
register descriptions.
Communications Channels A and B
Each communications channel of the SCN2681 comprises a
full-duplex asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART). The
operating frequency for each receiver and transmitter can be
selected independently from the baud rate generator, the counter
timer, or from an external input.
The transmitter accepts parallel data from the CPU, converts it to a
serial bit stream, inserts the appropriate start, stop, and optional
parity bits and outputs a composite serial stream of data on the TxD
output pin. The receiver accepts serial data on the RxD pin,
converts this serial input to parallel format, checks for start bit, stop
bit, parity bit (if any), or break condition and sends an assembled
character to the CPU.
The input port pulse detection circuitry uses a 38.4kHz sampling
clock derived from one of the baud rate generator taps. This results
in a sampling period of slightly more than 25
s (this assumes that
the clock input is 3.6864MHz). The detection circuitry, in order to
guarantee that a true change in level has occurred, requires two
successive samples at the new logic level be observed. As a
consequence, the minimum duration of the signal change is 25
s if
the transition occurs "coincident with the first sample pulse". The
50
s time refers to the situation in which the change-of-state is "just
missed" and the first change-of-state is not detected until 25
s later.
Input Port
The inputs to this unlatched 7-bit port can be read by the CPU by
performing a read operation at address D16. A High input results in
a logic 1 while a Low input results in a logic 0. D7 will always read
as a logic 1. The pins of this port can also serve as auxiliary inputs
to certain portions of the DUART logic.
Four change-of-state detectors are provided which are associated
with inputs IP3, IP2, IP1 and IP0. A High-to-Low or Low-to-High
transition of these inputs lasting longer than 25 50
s, will set the
corresponding bit in the input port change register. The bits are
cleared when the register is read by the CPU. Any change-of-state
can also be programmed to generate an interrupt to the CPU.
All the IP pins have a small pull-up device that will source 1 to 4
m
A
of current from V
CC
. These pins do not require pull-up devices or
V
CC
connections if they are not used.
Output Port
The output port pins may be controlled by the OPR, OPCR, MR and
CR registers. Via appropriate programming they may be just
another parallel port to external circuits, or they may represent many
internal conditions of the UART. When this 8-bit port is used as a
general purpose output port, the output port pins drive a state which
is the complement of the Output Port Register (OPR). OPR(n) = 1
results in OP(n) = Low and vice versa. Bits of the OPR can be
individually set and reset. A bit is set by performing a write operation
at address E16 with the accompanying data specifying the bits to be
set (1 = set, 0 = no change).
Likewise, a bit is reset by a write at address F16 with the
accompanying data specifying the bits to be reset (1 = reset, 0 = no
change).
Outputs can be also individually assigned specific functions by
appropriate programming of the Channel A mode registers (MR1A,
MR2A), the Channel B mode registers (MR1B, MR2B), and the
Output Port Configuration Register (OPCR).
Please note that these pins drive both high and low. HOWEVER
when they are programmed to represent interrupt type functions
(such as receiver ready, transmitter ready or counter/timer ready)
they will be switched to an open drain configuration in which case an
external pull-up device would be required.
TRANSMITTER OPERATION
The SCN2681 is conditioned to transmit data when the transmitter is
enabled through the command register. The SCN2681 indicates to
the CPU that it is ready to accept a character by setting the TxRDY
bit in the status register. This condition can be programmed to

generate an interrupt request at OP6 or OP7 and INTRN. When a
character is loaded into the Transmit Holding Register (THR), the
above conditions are negated. Data is transferred from the holding
register to transmit shift register when it is idle or has completed
transmission of the previous character. The TxRDY conditions are
then asserted again which means one full character time of buffering
is provided. Characters cannot be loaded into the THR while the
transmitter is disabled.
The transmitter converts the parallel data from the CPU to a serial
bit stream on the TxD output pin. It automatically sends a start bit
followed by the programmed number of data bits, an optional parity
bit, and the programmed number of stop bits. The least significant
bit is sent first. Following the transmission of the stop bits, if a new
character is not available in the THR, the TxD output remains High
and the TxEMT bit in the Status Register (SR) will be set to 1.
Transmission resumes and the TxEMT bit is cleared when the CPU
loads a new character into the THR.
If the transmitter is disabled, it continues operating until the
character currently being transmitted is completely sent out. The
transmitter can be forced to send a continuous Low condition by
issuing a send break command.
The transmitter can be reset through a software command. If it is
reset, operation ceases immediately and the transmitter must be
enabled through the command register before resuming operation.
If CTS operation is enable, the CTSN input must be Low in order for
the character to be transmitted. If it goes High in the middle of a
transmission, the character in the shift register is transmitted and
TxDA then remains in the marking state until CTSN goes Low. The
transmitter can also control the deactivation of the RTSN output. If
programmed, the RTSN output will be reset one bit time after the
character in the transmit shift register and transmit holding register
(if any) are completely transmitted, if the transmitter has been
disabled.
Receiver
The SCN2681 is conditioned to receive data when enabled through
the command register. The receiver looks for a High-to-Low
(mark-to-space) transition of the start bit on the RxD input pin. If a
transition is detected, the state of the RxD pin is sampled each 16X
clock for 7 1/2 clocks (16X clock mode) or at the next rising edge of
the bit time clock (1X clock mode). If RxD is sampled High, the start
bit is invalid and the search for a valid start bit begins again. If RxD
is still Low, a valid start bit is assumed and the receiver continues to
sample the input at one bit time intervals at the theoretical center of
the bit, until the proper number of data bits and parity bit (if any)
have been assembled, and one stop bit has been detected. The
least significant bit is received first. The data is then transferred to
the Receive Holding Register (RHR) and the RxRDY bit in the SR is
set to a 1. This condition can be programmed to generate an
interrupt at OP4 or OP5 and INTRN. If the character length is less
than eight bits, the most significant unused bits in the RHR are set to
zero.
After the stop bit is detected, the receiver will immediately look for
the next start bit. However, if a non-zero character was received
without a stop bit (framing error) and RxD remains Low for one half
of the bit period after the stop bit was sampled, then the receiver
operates as if a new start bit transition had been detected at that
point (one-half bit time after the stop bit was sampled).
The parity error, framing error, overrun error and received break
state (if any) are strobed into the SR at the received character
boundary, before the RxRDY status bit is set. If a break condition is
detected (RxD is Low for the entire character including the stop bit),
a character consisting of all zeros will be loaded into the RHR and
the received break bit in the SR is set to 1. The RxD input must
return to high for two (2) clock edges of the X1 crystal clock for the
receiver to recognize the end of the break condition and begin the
search for a start bit. This will usually require a high time of one
X1 clock period or 3 X1 edges since the clock of the controller
is not synchronous to the X1 clock.
Receiver FIFO
The RHR consists of a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) stack with a
capacity of three characters. Data is loaded from the receive shift
register into the topmost empty position of the FIFO. The RxRDY bit
in the status register is set whenever one or more characters are
available to be read, and a FFULL status bit is set if all three stack
positions are filled with data. Either of these bits can be selected to
cause an interrupt. A read of the RHR outputs the data at the top of
the FIFO. After the read cycle, the data FIFO and its associated
status bits (see below) are `popped' thus emptying a FIFO position
for new data.
Receiver Status Bits
In addition to the data word, three status bits (parity error, framing
error, and received break) are also appended to each data character
in the FIFO (overrun is not). Status can be provided in two ways, as
programmed by the error mode control bit in the mode register. In
the `character' mode, status is provided on a character-by-character
basis; the status applies only to the character at the top of the FIFO.
In the `block' mode, the status provided in the SR for these three bits
is the logical-OR of the status for all characters coming to the top of
the FIFO since the last `reset error' command was issued. In either
mode reading the SR does not affect the FIFO. The FIFO is
`popped' only when the RHR is read. Therefore the status register
should be read prior to reading the FIFO.
If the FIFO is full when a new character is received, that character is
held in the receive shift register until a FIFO position is available. If
an additional character is received while this state exits, the
contents of the FIFO are not affected; the character previously in the
shift register is lost and the overrun error status bit (SR[4] will be
set-upon receipt of the start bit of the new (overrunning) character).
The receiver can control the deactivation of RTS. If programmed to
operate in this mode, the RTSN output will be negated when a valid
start bit was received and the FIFO is full. When a FIFO position
becomes available, the RTSN output will be re-asserted
automatically. This feature can be used to prevent an overrun, in
the receiver, by connecting the RTSN output to the CTSN input of
the transmitting device.
Receiver Reset and Disable
Receiver disable stops the receiver immediately data being
assembled if the receiver shift register is lost. Data and status in the
FIFO is preserved and may be read. A re-enable of the receiver
after a disable will cause the receiver to begin assembling
characters at the next start bit detected.
A receiver reset will discard the present shift register data, reset the
receiver ready bit (RxRDY), clear the status of the byte at the top of
the FIFO and re-align the FIFO read/write pointers. This has the
appearance of "clearing or flushing" the receiver FIFO. In fact, the
FIFO is NEVER cleared! The data in the FIFO remains valid until
overwritten by another received character. Because of this,
erroneous reading or extra reads of the receiver FIFO will miss-align
Philips Semiconductors

the FIFO pointers and result in the reading of previously read data.
A receiver reset will re-align the pointers.
Multidrop Mode
The DUART is equipped with a wake up mode for multidrop
applications. This mode is selected by programming bits MR1A[4:3]
or MR1B[4:3] to `11' for Channels A and B, respectively. In this
mode of operation, a `master' station transmits an address character
followed by data characters for the addressed `slave' station. The
slave stations, with receivers that are normally disabled, examine
the received data stream and `wake up' the CPU (by setting RxRDY)
only upon receipt of an address character. The CPU compares the
received address to its station address and enables the receiver if it
wishes to receive the subsequent data characters. Upon receipt of
another address character, the CPU may disable the receiver to
initiate the process again.
A transmitted character consists of a start bit, the programmed
number of data bits, and Address/Data (A/D) bit, and the
programmed number of stop bits. The polarity of the transmitted
A/D bit is selected by the CPU by programming bit
MR1A[2]/MR1B[2]. MR1A[2]/MR1B[2] = 0 transmits a zero in the
A/D bit position, which identifies the corresponding data bits as data
while MR1A[2]/MR1B[2] = 1 transmits a one in the A/D bit position,
which identifies the corresponding data bits as an address. The
CPU should program the mode register prior to loading the
corresponding data bits into the THR.
In this mode, the receiver continuously looks at the received data
stream, whether it is enabled or disabled. If disabled, it sets the
RxRDY status bit and loads the character into the RHR FIFO if the
received A/D bit is a one (address tag), but discards the received
character if the received A/D bit is a zero (data tag). If enabled, all
received characters are transferred to the CPU via the RHR. In
either case, the data bits are loaded into the data FIFO while the
A/D bit is loaded into the status FIFO position normally used for
parity error (SRA[5] or SRB[5]). Framing error, overrun error, and
break detect operate normally whether or not the receive is enabled.
PROGRAMMING
The operation of the DUART is programmed by writing control words
into the appropriate registers. Operational feedback is provided via
status registers which can be read by the CPU. The addressing of
the registers is described in Table 1.
The contents of certain control registers are initialized to zero on
RESET. Care should be exercised if the contents of a register are
changed during operation, since certain changes may cause
operational problems.
For example, changing the number of bits per character while the
transmitter is active may cause the transmission of an incorrect
character. In general, the contents of the MR, the CSR, and the
OPCR should only be changed while the receiver(s) and
transmitter(s) are not enabled, and certain changes to the ACR
should only be made while the C/T is stopped.
Mode registers 1 and 2 of each channel are accessed via
independent auxiliary pointers. The pointer is set to MR1x by
RESET or by issuing a `reset pointer' command via the
corresponding command register. Any read or write of the mode
register while the pointer is at MR1x, switches the pointer to MR2x.
The pointer then remains at MR2x, so that subsequent accesses are
always to MR2x unless the pointer is reset to MR1x as described
above.
Mode, command, clock select, and status registers are duplicated
for each channel to provide total independent operation and control.
Refer to Table 2 for register bit descriptions. The reserved
registers at addresses H`02' and H`OA' should never be read during
normal operation since they are reserved for internal diagnostics.

MR1A Channel A Mode Register 1
MR1A is accessed when the Channel A MR pointer points to MR1.
The pointer is set to MR1 by RESET or by a `set pointer' command
applied via CRA. After reading or writing MR1A, the pointer will
point to MR2A.
MR1A[7] Channel A Receiver Request-to-Send Control
This bit controls the deactivation of the RTSAN output (OP0) by the
receiver. This output is normally asserted by setting OPR[0] and
negated by resetting OPR[0]. MR1A[7] = 1 causes RTSAN to be
negated upon receipt of a valid start bit if the Channel A FIFO is full.
However, OPR[0] is not reset and RTSAN will be asserted again
when an empty FIFO position is available. This feature can be used
for flow control to prevent overrun in the receiver by using the
RTSAN output signal to control the CTSN input of the transmitting
device.
MR1A[6] Channel A Receiver Interrupt Select
This bit selects either the Channel A receiver ready status (RxRDY)
or the Channel A FIFO full status (FFULL) to be used for CPU
interrupts. It also causes the selected bit to be output on OP4 if it is
programmed as an interrupt output via the OPCR.
MR1A[5] Channel A Error Mode Select
This bit select the operating mode of the three FIFOed status bits
(FE, PE, received break) for Channel A. In the `character' mode,
status is provided on a character-by-character basis; the status
applies only to the character at the top of the FIFO. In the `block"
mode, the status provided in the SR for these bits is the
accumulation (logical-OR) of the status for all characters coming to
the top of the FIFO since the last `reset error' command for Channel
A was issued.
MR1A[4:3| Channel A Parity Mode Select
If `with parity' or `force parity' is selected a parity bit is added to the
transmitted character and the receiver performs a parity check on
incoming data MR1A[4:3] + 11 selects Channel A to operate in the
special multidrop mode described in the Operation section.
MR1A[2] Channel A Parity Type Select
This bit selects the parity type (odd or even) if the `with parity' mode
is programmed by MR1A[4:3], and the polarity of the forced parity bit
if the `force parity' mode is programmed. It has no effect if the `no
parity' mode is programmed. In the special multidrop mode it
selects the polarity of the A/D bit.
MR1A[1:0] Channel A Bits Per Character Select
This field selects the number of data bits per character to be
transmitted and received. The character length does not include the
start, parity, and stop bits.

MR2A Channel A Mode Register 2
MR2A is accessed when the Channel A MR pointer points to MR2,
which occurs after any access to MR1A. Accesses to MR2A do not
change the pointer.
MR2A[7:6] Channel A Mode Select
Each channel of the DUART can operate in one of four modes.
MR2A[7:6] = 00 is the normal mode, with the transmitter and
receiver operating independently. MR2A[7:6] = 01 places the
channel in the automatic echo mode, which automatically
re-transmits the received data. The following conditions are true
while in automatic echo mode:
1. Received data is re-clocked and retransmitted on the TxDA out-
put.
2. The receive clock is used for the transmitter.
3. The receiver must be enabled, but the transmitter need not be
enabled.
4. The Channel A TxRDY and TxEMT status bits are inactive.
5. The received parity is checked, but is not regenerated for trans-
mission, i.e. transmitted parity bit is as received.
6. Character framing is checked, but the stop bits are retransmitted
as received.
7. A received break is echoed as received until the next valid start
bit is detected.
8. CPU to receiver communication continues normally, but the CPU
to transmitter link is disabled.
Two diagnostic modes can also be configured. MR2A[7:6] = 10
selects local loopback mode. In this mode:
1. The transmitter output is internally connected to the receiver
input.
2. The transmit clock is used for the receiver.
3. The TxDA output is held High.
4. The RxDA input is ignored.
5. The transmitter must be enabled, but the receiver need not be
enabled.
6. CPU to transmitter and receiver communications continue nor-
mally.
The second diagnostic mode is the remote loopback mode, selected
by MR2A[7:6] = 11. In this mode:
1. Received data is re-clocked and re-transmitted on the TxDA
output.
2. The receive clock is used for the transmitter.
3. Received data is not sent to the local CPU, and the error status
conditions are inactive.
4. The received parity is not checked and is not regenerated for
transmission, i.e., transmitted parity is as received.
5. The receiver must be enabled.
6. Character framing is not checked and the stop bits are retrans-
mitted as received.
7. A received break is echoed as received until the next valid start
bit is detected.
The user must exercise care when switching into and out of the
various modes. The selected mode will be activated immediately
upon mode selection, even if this occurs in the middle of a received
or transmitted character. Likewise, if a mode is deselected the
device will switch out of the mode immediately. An exception to this
is switching out of autoecho or remote loopback modes: if the
deselection occurs just after the receiver has sampled the stop bit
(indicated in autoecho by assertion of RxRDY), and the transmitter
is enabled, the transmitter will remain in autoecho mode until the
entire stop has been retransmitted.
MR2A[5] Channel A Transmitter Request-to-Send Control
CAUTION: When the transmitter controls the OP pin (usually used
for the RTSN signal) the meaning of the pin is not RTSN at all!
Rather, it signals that the transmitter has finished the transmission
(i.e., end of block).
This bit allows deactivation of the RTSN output by the transmitter.
This output is manually asserted and negated by the appropriate
commands issued via the command register. MR2[5] set to 1
caused the RTSN to be reset automatically one bit time after the
character(s) in the transmit shift register and in the THR (if any) are
completely transmitted (including the programmed number of stop
bits) if a previously issued transmitter disable is pending. This
feature can be used to automatically terminate the transmission as
follows:
1. Program the auto-reset mode: MR2[5]=1
2. Enable transmitter, if not already enabled
3. Assert RTSN via command
4. Send message
5. After the last character of the message is loaded to the THR,
disable the transmitter. (If the transmitter is underrun, a special
case exists. See note below.)
6. The last character will be transmitted and the RTSN will be reset
one bit time after the last stop bit is sent.
NOTE: The transmitter is in an underrun condition when both the
TxRDY and the TxEMT bits are set. This condition also exists
immediately after the transmitter is enabled from the disabled or
reset state. When using the above procedure with the transmitter in
the underrun condition, the issuing of the transmitter disable must be
delayed from the loading of a single, or last, character until the
TxRDY becomes active again after the character is loaded.
MR2A[4] Channel A Clear-to-Send Control
If this bit is 0, CTSAN has no effect on the transmitter. If this bit is a
1, the transmitter checks the state of CTSAN (IPO) each time it is
ready to send a character. If IPO is asserted (Low), the character is
transmitted. If it is negated (High), the TxDA output remains in the
marking state and the transmission is delayed until CTSAN goes
Low. Changes in CTSAN while a character is being transmitted do
not affect the transmission of that character..
MR2A[3:0] Channel A Stop Bit Length Select
This field programs the length of the stop bit appended to the
transmitted character. Stop bit lengths of .563 TO 1 AND .563 to 2
bits. In increments of 0.625 bit, can be programmed for character
lengths of 6, 7, and 8 bits. For a character lengths of 5 bits, 1.0625
to 2 stop bits can be programmed in increments of .0625 bit.
The receiver only checks for a `mark' condition at the center of the
first stop bit position (one bit time after the last data bit, or after the
parity bit is enabled) in all cases.
If an external 1X clock is used for the transmitter, MR2A[3] = 0
selects one stop bit and MR2A[3] = 1 selects two stop bits to be
transmitted.

MR1B Channel B Mode Register 1
MR1B is accessed when the Channel B MR pointer points to MR1.
The pointer is set to MR1 by RESET or by a `set pointer' command
applied via CRB. After reading or writing MR1B, the pointer will
point to MR2B.

MR2B is accessed when the Channel B MR pointer points to MR2,
which occurs after any access to MR1B. Accesses to MR2B do not

CRA Channel A Command Register
CRA is a register used to supply commands to Channel A. Multiple
commands can be specified in a single write to CRA as long as the
commands are non-conflicting, e.g., the `enable transmitter' and
`reset transmitter' commands cannot be specified in a single
command word.

010
Reset receiver. Resets the Channel A receiver as if a hard-
ware reset had been applied. The receiver is disabled and
the FIFO is flushed.
011
Reset transmitter. Resets the Channel A transmitter as if a
hardware reset had been applied.
100
Reset error status. Clears the Channel A Received Break,
Parity Error, and Overrun Error bits in the status register
(SRA[7:4]). Used in character mode to clear OE status (al-
though RB, PE and FE bits will also be cleared) and in block
mode to clear all error status after a block of data has been
received.
101

nel A break detect change bit in the interrupt status register
(ISR[2]) to be cleared to zero.

110
Start break. Forces the TxDA output Low (spacing). If the
transmitter is empty the start of the break condition will be
delayed up to two bit times. If the transmitter is active the
break begins when transmission of the character is com-
pleted. If a character is in the THR, the start of the break will
be delayed until that character, or any other loaded subse-
quently are transmitted. The transmitter must be enabled for
this command to be accepted.
111
Stop break. The TxDA line will go High (marking) within two
bit times. TxDA will remain High for one bit time before the
next character, if any, is transmitted.
CRA[3] Disable Channel A Transmitter
This command terminates transmitter operation and reset the
TxDRY and TxEMT status bits. However, if a character is being
transmitted or if a character is in the THR when the transmitter is
disabled, the transmission of the character(s) is completed before
assuming the inactive state. A disable transmitter cannot be loaded.
CRA[2] Enable Channel A Transmitter
Enables operation of the Channel A transmitter. The TxRDY status
bit will be asserted.
CRA[1] Disable Channel A Receiver
This command terminates operation of the receiver immediately a
character being received will be lost. The command has no effect
on the receiver status bits or any other control registers. If the
special multidrop mode is programmed, the receiver operates even
if it is disabled. See Operation section.
CRA[0] Enable Channel A Receiver
Enables operation of the Channel A receiver. If not in the special
wake up mode, this also forces the receiver into the search for
start-bit state.
CRB Channel B Command Register
CRB is a register used to supply commands to Channel B. Multiple
commands can be specified in a single write to CRB as long as the
commands are non-conflicting, e.g., the `enable transmitter' and
`reset transmitter' commands cannot be specified in a single
command word.
The bit definitions for this register are identical to the bit definitions
for CRA, except that all control actions apply to the Channel B
receiver and transmitter and the corresponding inputs and outputs.
SRA Channel A Status Register
SRA[7] Channel A Received Break
This bit indicates that an all zero character of the programmed
length has been received without a stop bit. Only a single FIFO
position is occupied when a break is received: further entries to the
FIFO are inhibited until the RxDA line to the marking state for at
least one-half a bit time two successive edges of the internal or
external 1X clock. This will usually require a high time of one X1
clock period or 3 X1 edges since the clock of the controller is not
synchronous to the X1 clock.
When this bit is set, the Channel A `change in break' bit in the ISR
(ISR[2]) is set. ISR[2] is also set when the end of the break
condition, as defined above, is detected.
The break detect circuitry can detect breaks that originate in the
middle of a received character. However, if a break begins in the
middle of a character, it must persist until at least the end of the next
character time in order for it to be detected.
SRA[6] Channel A Framing Error
This bit, when set, indicates that a stop bit was not detected when
the corresponding data character in the FIFO was received. The
stop bit check is made in the middle of the first bit position.
SRA[5] Channel A Parity Error
This bit is set when the `with parity' or `force parity' mode is
programmed and the corresponding character in the FIFO was
received with incorrect parity.
In the special multidrop mode the parity error bit stores the receive
A/D bit.
SRA[4] Channel A Overrun Error
This bit, when set indicates that one or more characters in the
received data stream have been lost. It is set upon receipt of a new
character when the FIFO is full and a character is already in the
receive shift register waiting for an empty FIFO position. When this
occurs, the character in the receive shift register (and its break
detect, parity error and framing error status, if any) is lost.
This bit is cleared by a `reset error status' command.
SRA[3] Channel A Transmitter Empty (TxEMTA)
This bit will be set when the transmitter underruns, i.e., both the
TxEMT and TxRDY bits are set. This bit and TxRDY are set when
the transmitter is first enabled and at any time it is re-enabled after
either (a) reset, or (b) the transmitter has assumed the disabled
state. It is always set after transmission of the last stop bit of a
character if no character is in the THR awaiting transmission.
It is reset when the THR is loaded by the CPU, a pending
transmitter disable is executed, the transmitter is reset, or the
transmitter is disabled while in the underrun condition.
SRA[2] Channel A Transmitter Ready (TxRDYA)
This bit, when set, indicates that the THR is empty and ready to be
loaded with a character. This bit is cleared when the THR is loaded
by the CPU and is set when the character is transferred to the
transmit shift register. TxRDY is reset when the transmitter is
disabled or reset, and is set when the transmitter is first enabled,
viz., characters loaded into the THR while the transmitter is disabled
will not be transmitted.
SRA[1] Channel A FIFO Full (FFULLA)
This bit is set when a character is transferred from the receive shift
register to the receive FIFO and the transfer causes the FIFO to
become full, i.e., all three FIFO positions are occupied. It is reset
when the CPU reads the RHR. If a character is waiting in the
receive shift register because the FIFO is full, FFULL will not be
reset when the CPU reads the RHR.
SRA[0] Channel A Receiver Ready (RxRDYA)
This bit indicates that a character has been received and is waiting
in the FIFO to be read by the CPU. It is set when the character is
transferred from the receive shift to the FIFO and reset when the
CPU reads the RHR, if after this read there are not more characters
still in the FIFO.
SRB Channel B Status Register
The bit definitions for this register are identical to the bit definitions
for SRA, except that all status applies to the Channel B receiver and
transmitter and the corresponding inputs and outputs.

OPCR[7] OP7 Output Select
This bit programs the OP7 output to provide one of the following:
The complement of OPR[7].
The Channel B transmitter interrupt output which is the comple-
ment of TxRDYB. When in this mode OP7 acts as an Open- Col-
lector output. Note that this output is not masked by the contents
of the IMR.
OPCR[6] OP6 Output Select
This bit programs the OP6 output to provide one of the following:
The complement of OPR[6].
The Channel A transmitter interrupt output which is the comple-
ment of TxRDYA. When in this mode OP6 acts as an Open-Col-
lector output. Note that this output is not masked by the contents
of the IMR.
OPCR[5] OP5 Output Select
This bit programs the OP5 output to provide one of the following:
The complement of OPR[5].
The Channel B transmitter interrupt output which is the comple-
ment of ISR[5]. When in this mode OP5 acts as an Open-Collector
output. Note that this output is not masked by the contents of the
IMR.
OPCR[4] OP4 Output Select
This field programs the OP4 output to provide one of the following:
The complement of OPR[4].
The Channel B transmitter interrupt output which is the comple-
ment of ISR[1]. When in this mode OP4 acts as an Open-Collec-
tor output. Note that this output is not masked by the contents of
the IMR.
OPCR[3:2] OP3 Output Select
This bit programs the OP3 output to provide one of the following:
The complement of OPR[3].
The counter/timer output, in which case OP3 acts as an Open-
Collector output. In the timer mode, this output is a square wave
at the programmed frequency. In the counter mode, the output
remains High until terminal count is reached, at which time it goes
Low. The output returns to the High state when the counter is
stopped by a stop counter command. Note that this output is not
masked by the contents of the IMR.
The 1X clock for the Channel B transmitter, which is the clock that
shifts the transmitted data. If data is not being transmitted, a free
running 1X clock is output.
The 1X clock for the Channel B receiver, which is the clock that
samples the received data. If data is not being received, a free
running 1X clock is output.
OPCR[1:0] OP2 Output Select
This field programs the OP2 output to provide one of the following:
The complement of OPR[2].
The 16X clock for the Channel A transmitter. This is the clock
selected by CSRA[3:0], and will be a 1X clock if
CSRA[3:0] = 1111.
The 1X clock for the Channel A transmitter, which is the clock that
shifts the transmitted data. If data is not being transmitted, a free
running 1X clock is output.
The 1X clock for the Channel A receiver, which is the clock that
samples the received data. If data is not being received, a free
running 1X clock is output.
ACR Auxiliary Control Register
ACR[7] Baud Rate Generator Set Select
This bit selects one of two sets of baud rates to be generated by the
BRG:
Set 1:
50, 110, 134.5, 200, 300, 600, 1.05k, 1.2k, 2.4k, 4.8k,
7.2k, 9.6k, and 38.4k baud.
Set 2:
75, 110, 134.5, 150, 300, 600, 1.2k, 1.8k, 2.0k, 2.4k, 4.8k,
9.6k, and 19.2k baud.
The selected set of rates is available for use by the Channel A and
B receivers and transmitters as described in CSRA and CSRB.
Baud rate generator characteristics are given in Table 3.
ACR[6:4] Counter/Timer Mode And Clock Source Select
This field selects the operating mode of the counter/timer and its
clock source as shown in Table 4.
ACR[3:0] IP3, IP2, IP1, IP0 Change-of-State Interrupt Enable
This field selects which bits of the input port change register (IPCR)
cause the input change bit in the interrupt status register (ISR[7]) to
be set. If a bit is in the `on' state the setting of the corresponding bit
in the IPCR will also result in the setting of ISR[7], which results in
the generation of an interrupt output if IMR[7] = 1. If a bit is in the
`off' state, the setting of that bit in the IPCR has no effect on ISR[7].
IPCR Input Port Change Register
IPCR[7:4] IP3, IP2, IP1, IP0 Change-of-State
These bits are set when a change-of-state, as defined in the input
port section of this data sheet, occurs at the respective input pins.
They are cleared when the IPCR is read by the CPU. A read of the
IPCR also clears ISR[7], the input change bit in the interrupt status
register. The setting of these bits can be programmed to generate
an interrupt to the CPU.
IPCR[3:0] IP3, IP2, IP1, IP0 Current State
These bits provide the current state of the respective inputs. The
information is unlatched and reflects the state of the input pins at the
time the IPCR is read.
ISR Interrupt Status Register
This register provides the status of all potential interrupt sources.
The contents of this register are masked by the Interrupt Mask
Register (IMR). If a bit in the ISR is a `1' and the corresponding bit
in the IMR is also a `1', the INTRN output will be asserted. If the
corresponding bit in the IMR is a zero, the state of the bit in the ISR
has no effect on the INTRN output. Note that the IMR does not
mask the reading of the ISR the true status will be provided
regardless of the contents of the IMR. The contents of this register
are initialized to 00
16
when the DUART is reset.
ISR[7] Input Port Change Status
This bit is a `1' when a change-of-state has occurred at the IP0, IP1,
IP2, or IP3 inputs and that event has been selected to cause an
interrupt by the programming of ACR[3:0]. The bit is cleared when
the CPU reads the IPCR.

ISR[6] Channel B Change In Break
This bit, when set, indicates that the Channel B receiver has
detected the beginning or the end of a received break. It is reset
when the CPU issues a Channel B `reset break change interrupt'
command.
ISR[5] Channel B Receiver Ready or FIFO Full
The function of this bit is programmed by MR1B[6]. If programmed
as receiver ready, it indicates that a character has been received in
Channel B and is waiting in the FIFO to be read by the CPU. It is
set when the character is transferred from the receive shift register
to the FIFO and reset when the CPU reads the RHR. If after this
read there are more characters still in the FIFO the bit will be set
again after the FIFO is `popped'. If programmed as FIFO full, it is
set when a character is transferred from the receive holding register
to the receive FIFO and the transfer caused the Channel B FIFO to
become full; i.e., all three FIFO positions are occupied. It is reset
when the CPU reads the RHR. If a character is waiting in the
receive shift register because the FIFO is full, the bit will be set
again when the waiting character is loaded into the FIFO.
ISR[4] Channel B Transmitter Ready
This bit is a duplicate of TxRDYB (SRB[2]).
ISR[3] Counter Ready.
In the counter mode, this bit is set when the counter reaches
terminal count and is reset when the counter is stopped by a stop
counter command.
In the timer mode, this bit is set once each cycle of the generated
square wave (every other time that the counter/timer reaches zero
count). The bit is reset by a stop counter command. The command,
however, does not stop the counter/timer.
ISR[2] Channel A Change in Break
This bit, when set, indicates that the Channel A receiver has
detected the beginning or the end of a received break. It is reset
when the CPU issues a Channel A `reset break change interrupt'
command.
ISR[1] Channel A Receiver Ready Or FIFO Full
The function of this bit is programmed by MR1A[6]. If programmed
as receiver ready, it indicates that a character has been received in
Channel A and is waiting in the FIFO to be read by the CPU. It is
set when the character is transferred from the receive shift register
to the FIFO and reset when the CPU read the RHR. IF after this
read there are more characters still in the FIFO the bit will be set
again after the FIFO is `popped'. If programmed as FIFO full, it is
set when a character is transferred from the receive holding register
to the receive FIFO and the transfer caused the Channel A FIFO to
become full; i.e., all three FIFO positions are occupied. It is reset
when the CPU reads the RHR. If a character is waiting in the
receive shift register because the FIFO is full, the bit will be set
again when the ISR[0] and IMR waiting character is loaded into the
FIFO.
ISR[0] Channel A Transmitter Ready
This bit is a duplicate of TxRDYA (SRA[2]).
IMR Interrupt Mask Register
The programming of this register selects which bits in the ISR
causes an interrupt output. If a bit in the ISR is a `1' and the
corresponding bit in the IMR is also a `1' the INTRN output will be
asserted. If the corresponding bit in the IMR is a zero, the state of
the bit in the ISR has no effect on the INTRN output. Note that the
IMR does not mask the programmable interrupt outputs OP3OP7
or the reading of the ISR.
CTUR and CTLR Counter/Timer Registers
The CTUR and CTLR hold the eight MSBs and eight LSBs,
respectively, of the value to be used by the counter/timer in either
the counter or timer modes of operation. The minimum value which
may be loaded into the CTUR/CTLR registers is 0002
16
. Note that
these registers are write-only and cannot be read by the CPU.
In the timer (programmable divider) mode, the CT generates a
square wave with a period of twice the value (in clock periods) of the
CTUR and CTLR.
If the value in CTUR and CTLR is changed, the current half-period
will not be affected, but subsequent half periods will be. In this
mode the C/T runs continuously. Receipt of a start counter
command (read with A3-A0 = 1110) causes the counter to terminate
the current timing cycle and to begin a new cycle using the values in
CTUR and CTLR. The waveform so generated is often used for a
data clock. The formula for calculating the divisor n to load to the
CTUR and CTLR for a particular 1X data clock is shown below:
n
+
counter clock frequency
16 x 2 x baud rate desired
Often this division will result in a non-integer number; 26.3, for
example. One can only program integer numbers in a digital divider.
Therefore, 26 would be chosen. This gives a baud rate error of
0.3/26.3 which is 1.14%; well within the ability asynchronous mode
of operation.
The counter ready status bit (ISR[3]) is set once each cycle of the
square wave. The bit is reset by a stop counter command (read
with A3-A0 = 1111). The command however, does not stop the C/T.
The generated square wave is output on OP3 if it is programmed
to be the C/T output.
On power up and after reset, the timer/counter runs in timer mode
and can only be restarted. Because it cannot be shut off or stopped,
and runs continuously in timer mode, it is recommended that at
initialization, the output port (OP3) should be masked off through the
OPCR[3:2] = 00 until the T/C is programmed to the desired
operational state.
In the counter mode, the C/T counts down the number of pulses
loaded into CTUR and CTLR by the CPU. Counting begins upon
receipt of a counter command. Upon reaching terminal count
(0000
16
), the counter ready interrupt bit (ISR[3]) is set. The counter
continues counting past the terminal count until stopped by the CPU.
If OP3 is programmed to be the output of the C/T, the output
remains High until terminal count is reached, at which time it goes
Low. The output returns to the High state and ISR[3] is cleared
when the counter is stopped by a stop counter command. The CPU
may change the values of CTUR and CTLR at any time, but the new
count becomes effective only on the next start counter command. If
new values have not been loaded, the previous count values are
preserved and used for the next count cycle.
In the counter mode, the current value of the upper and lower 8 bits
of the counter (CTU, CTL) may be read by the CPU.
It is recommended that the counter be stopped when reading to
prevent potential problems which may occur if a carry from the lower
8 bits to the upper 8 bits occurs between the times that both halves
of the counter are read. However, note that a subsequent start
counter command will cause the counter to begin a new count cycle
using the values in CTUR and CTLR.

NOTE: Duty cycle of 16x clock is 50%
1%.
Asynchronous UART communications can tolerate frequency error
of 4.1% to 6.7% in a "clean" communications channel. The percent
of error changes as the character length changes. The above
percentages range from 5 bits not parity to 8 bits with parity and one
stop bit. The error with 8 bits no parity and one stop bit is 4.6%. If a
stop bit length of 9/16 is used, the error tolerance will approach 0
due to a variable error of up to 1/16 bit time in receiver clock phase
alignment to the start bit.

Output Port Notes
The output ports are controlled from three places: the OPCR
register, the OPR register, and the MR registers. The OPCR
register controls the source of the data for the output ports OP2
through OP7. The data source for output ports OP0 and OP1 is
controlled by the MR and CR registers. When the OPR is the
source of the data for the output ports, the data at the ports is
inverted from that in the OPR register. The content of the OPR
register is controlled by the "Set Output Port Bits Command" and the
"Reset Output Bits Command". These commands are at E and F,
respectively. When these commands are used, action takes place
only at the bit locations where ones exist. For example, a one in bit
location 5 of the data word used with the "Set Output Port Bits"
command will result in OPR5 being set to one. The OP5 would then
be set to zero (V
SS
). Similarly, a one in bit position 5 of the data
word associated with the "Reset Output Ports Bits" command would
set OPR5 to zero and, hence, the pin OP5 to a one (V
DD
).
The CTS, RTS, CTS Enable Tx signals
CTS (Clear To Send) is usually meant to be a signal to the
transmitter meaning that it may transmit data to the receiver. The
CTS input is on pin IP0 for TxA and on IP1 for TxB. The CTS signal
is active low; thus, it is called CTSAN for TxA and CTSBN for TxB.
RTS is usually meant to be a signal from the receiver indicating that
the receiver is ready to receive data. It is also active low and is,
thus, called RTSAN for RxA and RTSBN for RxB. RTSAN is on pin
op0 and RTSBN is on OP1. A receiver's RTS output will usually be
connected to the CTS input of the associated transmitter. Therefore,
one could say that RTS and CTS are different ends of the same
wire!
MR2(4) is the bit that allows the transmitter to be controlled by the
CTS pin (IP0 or IP1). When this bit is set to one AND the CTS input
is driven high, the transmitter will stop sending data at the end of the
present character being serialized. It is usually the RTS output of
the receiver that will be connected to the transmitter's CTS input.
The receiver will set RTS high when the receiver FIFO is full AND
the start bit of the fourth character is sensed. Transmission then
stops with four valid characters in the receiver. When MR2(4) is set
to one, CTSN must be at zero for the transmitter to operate. If
MR2(4) is set to zero, the IP pin will have no effect on the operation
of the transmitter.
MR1(7) is the bit that allows the receiver to control OP0. When OP0
(or OP1) is controlled by the receiver, the meaning of that pin will be
RTS. However, a point of confusion arises in that OP0 (or OP1)
may also be controlled by the transmitter. When the transmitter is
controlling this pin, its meaning is not RTS at all. It is, rather, that
the transmitter has finished sending its last data byte. Programming
the OP0 or OP1 pin to be controlled by the receiver and the
transmitter at the same time is allowed, but would usually be
incompatible.
RTS is expressed at the OP0 or OP1 pin which is still an output port.
Therefore, the state of OP0 or OP1 should be set low for the
receiver to generate the proper RTS signal. The logic at the output
is basically a NAND of the OPR register and the RTS signal as
generated by the receiver. When the RTS flow control is selected
via the MR(7) bit state of the OPR register is not changed.
Terminating the use of "Flow Control" (via the MR registers) will
return the OP0 or OP1 pins to the control of the OPR register.
Transmitter Disable Note
The sequence of instructions enable transmitter -- load transmit
holding register -- disable transmitter will result in nothing being
sent if the time between the end of loading the transmit holding
register and the disable command is less that 3/16 bit time in the
16x mode or one bit time in the 1x mode. Also, if the transmitter,
while in the enabled state and underrun condition, is immediately
disabled after a single character is loaded to the transmit holding
register, that character will not be sent.
In general, when it is desired to disable the transmitter before the
last character is sent AND the TxEMT bit is set in the status register
(TxEMT is always set if the transmitter has underrun or has just
been enabled), be sure the TxRDY bit is active immediately before
issuing the transmitter disable instruction. TxRDY sets at the end of
the "start bit" time. It is during the start bit that the data in the
transmit holding register is transferred to the transmit shift register.
Non-standard baud rates are available as shown in Table 5 below,
via the BRG Test function.

NOTE: Each read on address H`2' will toggle the baud rate test mode. When in the BRG test mode, the baud rates change as shown to the left.
This change affects all receivers and transmitters on the DUART. See
"Extended baud rates for SCN2681, SCN68681, SCC2691, SCC2692,
SCC68681 and SCC2698B" in application notes elsewhere in this publication
The test mode at address H`A' changes all transmitters and receivers to the 1x mode and connects the output ports to some internal nodes.
A condition that occurs infrequently has been observed where the receiver will ignore all data. It is caused by a corruption of the start bit
generally due to noise. When this occurs the receiver will appear to be asleep or locked up. The receiver must be reset for the UART to
continue to function properly.
Reset in the Normal Mode (Receiver Enabled)
Recovery can be accomplished easily by issuing a receiver software reset followed by a receiver enable. All receiver data, status and
programming will be preserved and available before reset. The reset will NOT affect the programming.
Reset in the Wake-Up Mode (MR1[4:3] = 11)
Recovery can also be accomplished easily by first exiting the wake-up mode (MR1[4:3] = 00 or 01 or 10), then issuing a receiver software
reset followed by a wake-up re-entry (MR1[4:3] = 11). All receiver data, status and programming will be preserved and available before
reset. The reset will NOT affect the programming.
The receiver has a digital filter designed to reject "noisy" data transitions and the receiver state machine was designed to reject noisy start
bits or noise that might be considered a start bit. In spite of these precautions, corruption of the start bit can occur in 15ns window
approximately 100ns prior to the rising edge of the data clock. The probability of this occurring is less than 10
5
at 9600 baud.
A corrupted start bit may have some deleterious effects in ASYNC operation if it occurs within a normal data block. The receiver will tend
to align its data clock to the next `0' bit in the data stream, thus potentially corrupting the remainder of the data block. A good design
practice, in environments where start bit corruption is possible, is to monitor data quality (framing error, parity error, break change and
received break) and "data stopped" time out periods. Time out periods can be enabled using the counter/timer in the SCC2691, SCC2692,
SCC2698B and SC68692 products. This monitoring can indicate a potential start bit corruption problem.
