Control And Operation Of Asynchronous Transfer - Epson S1C33210 Technical Manual

III PERIPHERAL BLOCK: SERIAL INTERFACE
Setting the data format
In the asynchronous mode, the data length is 7 or 8 bits as determined by the transfer mode set. The start bit is
fixed at 1.
The stop and parity bits can be set as shown in the Table 8.5 using the following control bits:
Ch.0 (Serial I/F Ch.0
control register)
Stop-bit selection STPB0(D3/0x401E3)
Parity enable EPR0(D5/0x401E3)
Parity-mode selection PMD0(D4/0x401E3)
STPBx
1
0
Note: These bits become indeterminate at initial reset, so be sure to initialize them in the software.

Control and Operation of Asynchronous Transfer

Transmit control
(1) Enabling transmit operation
Use the transmit-enable bit TXENx for transmit control.
Ch.0 transmit-enable: TXEN0 (D7) / Serial I/F Ch.0 control register (0x401E3)
Ch.1 transmit-enable: TXEN1 (D7) / Serial I/F Ch.1 control register (0x401E8)
Ch.2 transmit-enable: TXEN2 (D7) / Serial I/F Ch.2 control register (0x401F3)
Ch.3 transmit-enable: TXEN3 (D7) / Serial I/F Ch.3 control register (0x401F8)
When transmit is enabled by writing "1" to this bit, the clock input to the shift register is enabled (ready for
input), thus allowing data to be transmitted.
Transmit is disabled by writing "0" to TXENx.
Note: Do not set TXENx to "0" during a transmit operation.
(2) Transmit procedure
The serial interface has a transmit shift register and a transmit data register (transmit data buffer) that are
provided independently of those used for receive operations.
Ch.0 transmit data: TXD0[7:0] (D[7:0]) / Serial I/F Ch.0 transmit data register (0x401E0)
Ch.1 transmit data: TXD1[7:0] (D[7:0]) / Serial I/F Ch.1 transmit data register (0x401E5)
Ch.2 transmit data: TXD2[7:0] (D[7:0]) / Serial I/F Ch.2 transmit data register (0x401F0)
Ch.3 transmit data: TXD3[7:0] (D[7:0]) / Serial I/F Ch.3 transmit data register (0x401F5)
The serial interface starts a transmit operation by writing data to this register. In the 7-bit asynchronous mode,
bit 7 (MSB) in each register is ignored.
The serial interface also contains a status bit to indicate the status of the transmit data register.
Ch.0 transmit data buffer empty: TDBE0 (D1) / Serial I/F Ch.0 status register (0x401E2)
Ch.1 transmit data buffer empty: TDBE1 (D1) / Serial I/F Ch.1 status register (0x401E7)
Ch.2 transmit data buffer empty: TDBE2 (D1) / Serial I/F Ch.2 status register (0x401F2)
Ch.3 transmit data buffer empty: TDBE3 (D1) / Serial I/F Ch.3 status register (0x401F7)
This bit is reset to "0" by writing data to the transmit data register, and set back to "1" (buffer empty) when the
data is transferred to the shift register. The transfer begins when the serial interface starts sending the start bit.
