UBKD
The Break Detect bit indicates when a line
break condition occurs. This condition is de-
tected if RXD remains low for at least ten bit
times after a missing stop bit has been detect-
ed at the end of a frame. The hardware auto-
matically clears the UBKD bit on reading the
UnSTAT register, but only if the break condi-
tion on RXD no longer exists. If reading the
UnSTAT register does not clear the UBKD bit
because the break is still actively driven on
the line, the hardware clears the bit as soon as
the break condition no longer exists (when the
RXD input returns to a high level).
0 – No break condition occurred.
1 – Break condition occurred.
URB9
The Received 9th Data Bit holds the ninth
data bit, when the UART is configured to op-
erate in the 9-bit data format.
UXMIP
The Transmit In Progress bit indicates when
the UART is transmitting. The hardware sets
this bit when the UART is transmitting data
and clears the bit at the end of the last frame
bit.
0 – UART is not transmitting.
1 – UART is transmitting.
22.3.8
UART Interrupt Control Register (UnICTRL)
The UnICTRL register is a byte-wide register that contains
the receive and transmit interrupt status bits (read-only bits)
and the interrupt enable bits (read/write bits). The register is
initialized to 01h at reset. The register format is shown be-
low.
UTBE
The Transmit Buffer Empty bit is set by hard-
ware when the UART transfers data from the
UnTBUF register to the transmit shift register
for transmission. It is automatically cleared by
the hardware on the next write to the UnTBUF
register.
0 – Transmit buffer is loaded.
1 – Transmit buffer is empty.
URBF
The Receive Buffer Full bit is set by hardware
when the UART has received a complete data
frame and has transferred the data from the
receive shift register to the UnRBUF register.
It is automatically cleared by the hardware
when the UnRBUF register is read.
0 – Receive buffer is empty.
1 – Receive buffer is loaded.
UDCTS
The Delta Clear To Send bit indicates whether
the CTS input has changed state since the
CPU last read this register. This functionality
is only available for the UART0 module.
0 – No change since last read.
1 – State has changed since last read.
UCTS
The Clear To Send bit indicates the state on
the CTS input. This functionality is only avail-
able for the UART0 module.
0 – CTS input is high.
1 – CTS input is low.
UEFCI
The Enable Flow Control Interrupt bit controls
whether a flow control interrupt is generated
when the UDCTS bit changes from clear to
set. This functionality is only available for the
UART0 module.
0 – Flow control interrupt disabled.
1 – Flow control interrupt enabled.
UETI
The Enable Transmitter Interrupt bit, when
set, enables generation of an interrupt when
the hardware sets the UTBE bit.
0 – Transmit buffer empty interrupt disabled.
1 – Transmit buffer empty interrupt enabled.
UERI
The Enable Receiver Interrupt bit, when set,
enables generation of an interrupt when the
hardware sets the URBF bit.
0 – Receive buffer full interrupt disabled.
1 – Receive buffer full interrupt enabled.
UEEI
The Enable Receive Error Interrupt bit, when
set, enables generation of an interrupt when
the hardware sets the UERR bit in the Un-
STAT register.
0 – Receive error interrupt disabled.
1 – Receive error interrupt enabled.
22.3.9
UART Oversample Rate Register (UnOVR)
The UnOVR register is a byte-wide, read/write register that
specifies the oversample rate. At reset, the UnOVR register
is cleared. The register format is shown below.
UOVSR
The Oversampling Rate field specifies the
oversampling rate, as given in the following ta-
ble.
