Enhanced Serial Communications Interface (ESCI) Module
14.9 ESCI Arbiter
The ESCI module comprises an arbiter module designed to support software for communication tasks as
bus arbitration, baud rate recovery and break time detection. The arbiter module consists of an 9-bit
counter with 1-bit overflow and control logic. The CPU can control operation mode via the ESCI arbiter
control register (SCIACTL).

ALOST — Arbitration Lost Flag
This read-only bit indicates loss of arbitration. Clear ALOST by writing a 0 to AM1. Reset clears
ALOST.
ACLK — Arbiter Counter Clock Select Bit
This read/write bit selects the arbiter counter clock source. Reset clears ACLK.
1 = Arbiter counter is clocked with one half of the ESCI input clock generated by the ESCI prescaler
0 = Arbiter counter is clocked with one quarter of the bus clock
AFIN— Arbiter Bit Time Measurement Finish Flag
This read-only bit indicates bit time measurement has finished. Clear AFIN by writing any value to
SCIACTL. Reset clears AFIN.
1 = Bit time measurement has finished
0 = Bit time measurement not yet finished
ARUN— Arbiter Counter Running Flag
This read-only bit indicates the arbiter counter is running. Reset clears ARUN.
1 = Arbiter counter running
0 = Arbiter counter stopped
