Access Description
1
IDLEHIGH
The bus clock used in synchronous mode has a high base value
7
Reserved
To ensure compatibility with future devices, always write bits to 0. More information in
6:5
OVS
0x0
RW
Oversampling
Sets the number of clock periods in a UART bit-period. More clock cycles gives better robustness, while less clock cycles
gives better performance.
Value
Mode
Description
0
X16
Regular UART mode with 16X oversampling in asynchronous mode
1
X8
Double speed with 8X oversampling in asynchronous mode
2
X6
6X oversampling in asynchronous mode
3
X4
Quadruple speed with 4X oversampling in asynchronous mode
4
MPAB
0
RW
Multi-Processor Address-Bit
Defines the value of the multi-processor address bit. An incoming frame with its 9th bit equal to the value of this bit marks
the frame as a multi-processor address frame.
3
MPM
0
RW
Multi-Processor Mode
Multi-processor mode uses the 9th bit of the USART frames to tell whether the frame is an address frame or a data frame.
Value
Description
0
The 9th bit of incoming frames has no special function
1
An incoming frame with the 9th bit equal to MPAB will be loaded into
the receive buffer regardless of RXBLOCK and will result in the MPAB
interrupt flag being set
2
CCEN
0
RW
Collision Check Enable
Enables collision checking on data when operating in half duplex modus.
Value
Description
0
Collision check is disabled
1
Collision check is enabled. The receiver must be enabled for the check
to be performed
1
LOOPBK
0
RW
Loopback Enable
Allows the receiver to be connected directly to the USART transmitter for loopback and half duplex communication.
Value
Description
0
The receiver is connected to and receives data from U(S)n_RX
1
The receiver is connected to and receives data from U(S)n_TX
0
SYNC
0
RW
USART Synchronous Mode
Determines whether the USART is operating in asynchronous or synchronous mode.
Value
Description
0
The USART operates in asynchronous mode
