Serial Channels
Serial communication with other microcontrollers, processors, terminals or external
peripheral components is provided by three serial interfaces with different functionality,
two Asynchronous/Synchronous Serial Channels (ASC0/ASC1) and a High-Speed
Synchronous Serial Channel (SSC).
The ASC0 is upward compatible with the serial ports of the Infineon 8-bit microcontroller
families and supports full-duplex asynchronous communication at up to 781 kBaud and
half-duplex synchronous communication at up to 3.1 MBaud (@ 25 MHz CPU clock).
A dedicated baud rate generator allows to set up all standard baud rates without
oscillator tuning. For transmission, reception and error handling 4 separate interrupt
vectors are provided. In asynchronous mode, 8- or 9-bit data frames are transmitted or
received, preceded by a start bit and terminated by one or two stop bits. For
multiprocessor communication, a mechanism to distinguish address from data bytes has
been included (8-bit data plus wake up bit mode).
In synchronous mode, the ASC0 transmits or receives bytes (8 bits) synchronously to a
shift clock which is generated by the ASC0. The ASC0 always shifts the LSB first. A loop
back option is available for testing purposes.
A number of optional hardware error detection capabilities has been included to increase
the reliability of data transfers. A parity bit can automatically be generated on
transmission or be checked on reception. Framing error detection allows to recognize
data frames with missing stop bits. An overrun error will be generated, if the last
character received has not been read out of the receive buffer register at the time the
reception of a new character is complete.
The ASC1 is function compatible with the ASC0, except that its registers are not bit-
addressable (XBUS peripheral) and it provides only three interrupt vectors.
The SSC supports full-duplex synchronous communication at up to 6.25 MBaud
(@ 25 MHz CPU clock). It may be configured so it interfaces with serially linked
peripheral components. A dedicated baud rate generator allows to set up all standard
baud rates without oscillator tuning. For transmission, reception and error handling three
separate interrupt vectors are provided.
The SSC transmits or receives characters of 2 … 16 bits length synchronously to a shift
clock which can be generated by the SSC (master mode) or by an external master (slave
mode). The SSC can start shifting with the LSB or with the MSB and allows the selection
of shifting and latching clock edges as well as the clock polarity.
A number of optional hardware error detection capabilities has been included to increase
the reliability of data transfers. Transmit and receive error supervise the correct handling
of the data buffer. Phase and baudrate error detect incorrect serial data.
