Enhanced Serial Communication Interface (eSCI)
31.4 Functional Description
This section provides a complete functional description of the eSCI block, detailing the operation of the
design from the end user perspective in a number of subsections.
31.4.1 Module Control
The operational mode of the module is controlled by the MDIS bit in the eSCI Control Register 2
(eSCI_CR2). The module can transmit and receive data when it is enabled, i.e., MDIS = 1.
31.4.2 Frame Formats
The eSCI module uses the standard NRZ mark/space data format. The eSCI supports three basic frame
types, which are the data frames, break characters, and idle characters.
31.4.2.1 Data Frame Formats
Each data frame contains a character that is surrounded by a start bit, an optional parity or address bit, and
one or two stop bits. The supported data frame formats for transmission and reception are specified in
Table 31-15. The supported data frame formats for reception only are specified in Table 31-16.
