Enhanced Serial Communications Interface (ESCI) Module
Receiving a break character has these effects on ESCI registers:
• Sets the framing error bit (FE) in SCS1
• Sets the ESCI receiver full bit (SCRF) in SCS1
• Clears the ESCI data register (SCDR)
• Clears the R8 bit in SCC3
• Sets the break flag bit (BKF) in SCS2
• May set the overrun (OR), noise flag (NF), parity error (PE), or reception in progress flag (RPF) bits
13.3.2.4 Idle Characters
For TXINV = 0 (output not inverted), a transmitted idle character contains all 1s and has no start, stop, or
parity bit. Idle character length depends on the M bit in SCC1. The preamble is a synchronizing idle
character that begins every transmission.
If the TE bit is cleared during a transmission, the TxD pin becomes idle after completion of the
transmission in progress. Clearing and then setting the TE bit during a transmission queues an idle
character to be sent after the character currently being transmitted.
13.3.2.5 Inversion of Transmitted Output
The transmit inversion bit (TXINV) in ESCI control register 1 (SCC1) reverses the polarity of transmitted
data. All transmitted values including idle, break, start, and stop bits, are inverted when TXINV is set. See
13.8.1 ESCI Control Register 1.
13.3.3 Receiver
Figure 13-5 shows the structure of the ESCI receiver.
13.3.3.1 Character Length
The receiver can accommodate either 8-bit or 9-bit data. The state of the M bit in ESCI control register 1
(SCC1) determines character length. When receiving 9-bit data, bit R8 in ESCI control register 3 (SCC3)
is the ninth bit (bit 8). When receiving 8-bit data, bit R8 is a copy of the eighth bit (bit 7).
13.3.3.2 Character Reception
During an ESCI reception, the receive shift register shifts characters in from the RxD pin. The ESCI data
register (SCDR) is the read-only buffer between the internal data bus and the receive shift register.
After a complete character shifts into the receive shift register, the data portion of the character transfers
to the SCDR. The ESCI receiver full bit, SCRF, in ESCI status register 1 (SCS1) becomes set, indicating
that the received byte can be read. If the ESCI receive interrupt enable bit, SCRIE, in SCC2 is also set,
the SCRF bit generates a receiver interrupt request.
