Multichannel Serial Interfaces
Multichannel serial interfaces (MCSIs) have multichannel transmission capa-
bility. MCSIs expand the parallel interface of a DSP to connect to external
devices such as codecs and GSM system simulators.
The two public MCSIs on the OMAP5910 device provide full duplex transmis-
sion and master or slave clock control. All transmission parameters are
configurable to cover the maximum number of operating conditions:
-
Master or slave clock control (transmission clock and frame synchroniza-
tion pulse)
-
Programmable transmission clock frequency
-
Single-channel or multichannel (x16) frame structure
-
Programmable word length: 3 to 16 bits
-
Full-duplex transmission
-
Programmable frame configuration
J
Continuous or burst transmission
J
Normal or alternate framing
J
Normal or inverted frame polarity
J
Short or long frame pulse
J
Programmable oversize frame length
J
Programmable frame length
-
Programmable interrupt occurrence time (TX and RX)
-
Error detection with interrupt generation on wrong frame length
-
DMA support for both TX and RX data transfers
