Receiver Reset, Enable and Disable
Start Detection and Data Sampling
Figure 31-2. Baud Rate Generator
After device reset, the UART receiver is disabled and must be enabled before being used. The
receiver can be enabled by writing the control register UART_CR with the bit RXEN at 1. At this
command, the receiver starts looking for a start bit.
The programmer can disable the receiver by writing UART_CR with the bit RXDIS at 1. If the
receiver is waiting for a start bit, it is immediately stopped. However, if the receiver has already
detected a start bit and is receiving the data, it waits for the stop bit before actually stopping its
operation.
The programmer can also put the receiver in its reset state by writing UART_CR with the bit
RSTRX at 1. In doing so, the receiver immediately stops its current operations and is disabled,
whatever its current state. If RSTRX is applied when data is being processed, this data is lost.
The UART only supports asynchronous operations, and this affects only its receiver. The UART
receiver detects the start of a received character by sampling the URXD signal until it detects a
valid start bit. A low level (space) on URXD is interpreted as a valid start bit if it is detected for
more than 7 cycles of the sampling clock, which is 16 times the baud rate. Hence, a space that is
longer than 7/16 of the bit period is detected as a valid start bit. A space which is 7/16 of a bit
period or shorter is ignored and the receiver continues to wait for a valid start bit.
When a valid start bit has been detected, the receiver samples the URXD at the theoretical mid-
point of each bit. It is assumed that each bit lasts 16 cycles of the sampling clock (1-bit period)
so the bit sampling point is eight cycles (0.5-bit period) after the start of the bit. The first sampling
point is therefore 24 cycles (1.5-bit periods) after the falling edge of the start bit was detected.
Each subsequent bit is sampled 16 cycles (1-bit period) after the previous one.
