Asynchronous/Synchronous Serial Interface (ASC)
This chapter describes the two Asynchronous/Synchronous Serial Interfaces of the
TC1796, ASC0 and ASC1. It contains the following sections:
•
Functional description of the ASC kernel, valid for ASC0 and ASC1 (see
•
ASC kernel register description, describes all ASC kernel specific registers, valid for
ASC0 and ASC1 (see
•
TC1796 implementation-specific details and registers of the ASC0/ASC1 interfaces
(see
Note: The ASC kernel register names described in
the TC1796 User’s Manual by the module name prefix “ASC0_” for the ASC0
interface and by “ASC1_” for the ASC1 interface.

ASC Kernel Description
shows a global view of the ASC interface.
Figure 19-1 General Block Diagram of the ASC Interface
The ASC module communicates with the external world via two I/O lines. The RXD line
is the receive data input signal (and also output signal in Synchronous Mode), and TXD
is the transmit output signal.
Clock control, address decoding, and interrupt service request control are managed
outside the ASC module kernel.
