Automatic Address
Recognition
The automatic address recognition feature is enabled when the multiprocessor commu-
nication feature is enabled (SM2 bit in SCON register is set).
Implemented in hardware, automatic address recognition enhances the multiprocessor
communication feature by allowing the serial port to examine the address of each
incoming command frame. Only when the serial port recognizes its own address, the
receiver sets RI bit in SCON register to generate an interrupt. This ensures that the CPU
is not interrupted by command frames addressed to other devices.
If desired, the user may enable the automatic address recognition feature in mode 1.In
this configuration, the stop bit takes the place of the ninth data bit. Bit RI is set only when
the received command frame address matches the device’s address and is terminated
by a valid stop bit.
To support automatic address recognition, a device is identified by a given address and
a broadcast address.
Note:
The multiprocessor communication and automatic address recognition features cannot
be enabled in mode 0 (i. e. setting SM2 bit in SCON register in mode 0 has no effect).
Given Address
Each device has an individual address that is specified in SADDR register; the SADEN
register is a mask byte that contains don’t-care bits (defined by zeros) to form the
device’s given address. The don’t-care bits provide the flexibility to address one or more
slaves at a time. The following example illustrates how a given address is formed.
To address a device by its individual address, the SADEN mask byte must be 1111
1111b.
For example:
SADDR0101 0110b
SADEN1111 1100b
Given0101 01XXb
The following is an example of how to use given addresses to address different slaves:
Slave A:SADDR1111 0001b
SADEN1111 1010b
Given1111 0X0Xb
Slave B:SADDR1111 0011b
SADEN1111 1001b
Given1111 0XX1b
Slave C:SADDR1111 0010b
SADEN1111 1101b
Given1111 00X1b
