An Unexpected Frame-Synchronization Pulse During A Mcbsp Transmission - Texas Instruments Concerto F28M35 Series Technical Reference Manual

synchronization pulse is not unexpected. There are two possible reasons why a transmit operations
might not be in progress when the pulse occurs:
This FSX pulse is the first after the transmitter is enabled (XRST = 1).
The serial port is in the interpacket intervals. The programmed data delay for transmission
(programmed with the XDATDLY bits of XCR2) may start during these interpacket intervals before the
first bit of the previous word is transmitted. Thus, at maximum packet frequency, frame synchronization
can still be received 0 to 2 clock cycles before the first bit of the synchronized frame.
• Case 3: Unexpected transmit frame synchronization with XFIG = 0 (frame-synchronization pulses not
ignored). Unexpected frame-synchronization pulses can originate from an external source or from the
internal sample rate generator.
If a frame-synchronization pulse starts the transfer of a new frame before the current frame is fully
transmitted, this pulse is treated as an unexpected frame-synchronization pulse, and the transmitter
sets the transmit frame-synchronization error bit (XSYNCERR) in SPCR2. XSYNCERR can be cleared
only by a transmitter reset or by a write of 0 to this bit.
If you want the McBSP to notify the CPU of frame-synchronization errors, you can set a special
transmit interrupt mode with the XINTM bits of SPCR2. When XINTM = 11b, the McBSP sends a
transmit interrupt (XINT) request to the CPU each time that XSYNCERR is set.
15.5.5.2 Example of Unexpected Transmit Frame-Synchronization Pulse
Figure 15-30 shows an unexpected transmit frame-synchronization pulse during normal operation of the
serial port with intervals between the data packets. When the unexpected frame-synchronization pulse
occurs, the XSYNCERR bit is set and the transmission of data B is restarted because no new data has
been passed to XSR1 yet. In addition, if XINTM = 11b, the McBSP sends a transmit interrupt (XINT)
request to the CPU.

15.5.5.3 Preventing Unexpected Transmit Frame-Synchronization Pulses
Each frame transfer can be delayed by 0, 1, or 2 CLKX cycles, depending on the value in the XDATDLY
bits of XCR2. For each possible data delay,
on FSX can safely occur relative to the last bit of the current frame.
