21.2.2 Synchronous Mode
21.2.3 Attention Mode
The synchronous mode of the UART enables the device to
communicate with other devices using three communication
signals: transmit, receive, and clock. In this mode, data bits
are transferred synchronously with the UART clock signal.
Data bits are transmitted on the rising edges and received
on the falling edges of the clock signal, as shown in
Figure 76. Data bytes are transmitted and received least
significant bit (LSB) first.
The Attention mode is available for networking this device
with other processors. This mode requires the 9-bit data for-
mat with no parity. The number of start bits and number of
stop bits are programmable. In this mode, two types of 9-bit
characters are sent on the network: address characters
consisting of 8 address bits and a 1 in the ninth bit position
and data characters consisting of 8 data bits and a 0 in the
ninth bit position.
While in Attention mode, the UART receiver monitors the
communication flow but ignores all characters until an ad-
CKX
dress character is received. On receiving an address char-
acter, the contents of the receive shift register are copied to
the receive buffer. The URBF bit is set and an interrupt (if
TDX
enabled) is generated. The UATN bit is automatically
cleared, and the UART begins receiving all subsequent
characters. Software must examine the contents of the UR-
RDX
BUF register and respond by accepting the subsequent
characters (by leaving the UATN bit clear) or waiting for the
next address character (by setting the UATN bit again).

te Figure 76. UART Synchronous Communication
In synchronous mode, the transmit shift register (TSFT) and
the transmit buffer (UnTBUF) double-buffer the data for
transmission. To transmit a character, a data byte is loaded
le ^{in the UnTBUF register. The data is then transferred to the}
TSFT register. The TSFT register shifts out one bit of the
current character, LSB first, on each rising edge of the clock.
While the TSFT is shifting out the current character on the
TXD pin, the UnTBUF register may be loaded by software
with the next byte to be transmitted. When the TSFT finishes
o _{transmission of the last stop bit within the current frame, the}
contents of UnTBUF are transferred to the TSFT register
and the Transmit Buffer Empty bit (UTBE) is set. The UTBE
bit is automatically reset by the UART when software loads
s _{a new character into the UnTBUF register. During transmis-}
sion, the UXMIP bit is set by the UART. This bit is cleared
only after the UART has sent the last frame bit of the current
character and the UnTBUF register is empty.
The operation of the UART transmitter is not affected by the
selection of this mode. The value of the ninth bit to be trans-
mitted is programmed by setting or clearing the UXB9 bit in
the UART Frame Select register. The value of the ninth bit
received is read from URB9 in the UART Status Register.
21.2.4 Diagnostic Mode
The Diagnostic mode is available for testing of the UART. In
this mode, the TXD and RXD pins are internally connected
together, and data shifted out of the transmit shift register is
immediately transferred to the receive shift register. This
mode supports only the 9-bit data format with no parity. The
number of start and stop bits is programmable.
21.2.5 Frame Format Selection
The format shown in Figure 77 consists of a start bit, seven
data bits (excluding parity), and one or two stop bits. If parity
bit generation is enabled by setting the UPEN bit, a parity bit
is generated and transmitted following the seven data bits.
