•
Ability to transmit data on demand using the TODR
•
SCCS register to determine idle status of the receive pin
•
Other features for the SCCs as described in the GSMR
However, the SMC UART frame format, shown in
Figure 29-5
, allows a data length of up to 14 bits. The
SCC format supports only up to 8 bits.

SMC UART Features
The following list summarizes the main features of the SMC in UART mode:
•
Flexible message-oriented data structure
•
Programmable data length (5–14 bits)
•
Programmable 1 or 2 stop bits
•
Even/odd/no parity generation and checking
•
Frame error, break, and IDLE detection
•
Transmit preamble and break sequences
•
Received break character length indication
•
Continuous receive and transmit modes

SMC UART-Specific Parameter RAM
For UART mode, the protocol-specific area of the SMC parameter RAM is mapped as in
Table 29-4

Description

MAX_IDL
Hword Maximum idle characters. When a character is received on the line, the SMC starts counting
idle characters received. If MAX_IDL idle characters arrive before the next character, an idle
time-out occurs and the buffer closes, which sends an interrupt request to the core to receive
data from the buffer. An idle character is defined as a full character length of logic high.
MAX_IDL can be used to demarcate frames in UART mode. Clearing MAX_IDL disables this
function so idle never causes the buffer to close, regardless of how many idle characters are
received. The length of an idle character is calculated as follows: 1 + data length (5 to 14) + 1
(if parity bit is used) + number of stop bits (1 or 2). For example, for 8 data bits, no parity, and
1 stop bit, character length is 10 bits.

IDLC
Hword Temporary idle counter. Down-counter in which the CP stores the current idle counter value
in the MAX_IDL time-out process.
