Stellaris^® LM3S6G11 Microcontroller
The IrDA SIR physical layer specifies a half-duplex communication link, with a minimum 10-ms
delay between transmission and reception. This delay must be generated by software because it
is not automatically supported by the UART. The delay is required because the infrared receiver
electronics might become biased or even saturated from the optical power coupled from the adjacent
transmitter LED. This delay is known as latency or receiver setup time.

ISO 7816 Support
The UART offers basic support to allow communication with an ISO 7816 smartcard. When bit 3
(SMART) of the UARTCTL register is set, the UnTx signal is used as a bit clock, and the UnRx signal
is used as the half-duplex communication line connected to the smartcard. A GPIO signal can be
used to generate the reset signal to the smartcard. The remaining smartcard signals should be
provided by the system design. The maximum clock rate in this mode is system clock / 16.
When using ISO 7816 mode, the UARTLCRH register must be set to transmit 8-bit words (WLEN
bits 6:5 configured to 0x3) with EVEN parity (PEN set and EPS set). In this mode, the UART
automatically uses 2 stop bits, and the STP2 bit of the UARTLCRH register is ignored.
If a parity error is detected during transmission, UnRx is pulled Low during the second stop bit. In
this case, the UART aborts the transmission, flushes the transmit FIFO and discards any data it
contains, and raises a parity error interrupt, allowing software to detect the problem and initiate
retransmission of the affected data. Note that the UART does not support automatic retransmission
in this case.

Modem Handshake Support
This section describes how to configure and use the modem flow control and status signals for
UART1 when connected as a DTE (data terminal equipment) or as a DCE (data communications
equipment). In general, a modem is a DCE and a computing device that connects to a modem is
the DTE.
12.3.6.1
Signaling
The status signals provided by UART1 differ based on whether the UART is used as a DTE or DCE.
When used as a DTE, the modem flow control and status signals are defined as:
■ U1CTS is Clear To Send
■ U1DSR is Data Set Ready
■ U1DCD is Data Carrier Detect
■ U1RI is Ring Indicator
■ U1RTS is Request To Send
■ U1DTR is Data Terminal Ready
When used as a DCE, the the modem flow control and status signals are defined as:
■ U1CTS is Request To Send
■ U1DSR is Data Terminal Ready
■ U1RTS is Clear To Send
