5.3 Programmable Clock-Out
6.0 SERIAL I/O
A 50% duty cycle clock can be programmed to come out
on P1.0. This pin, besides being a regular I/O pin, has two
alternate functions. It can be programmed:
6.1 Full-Duplex, Enhanced UART
The device serial I/O port is a full-duplex port that allows
data to be transmitted and received simultaneously in
hardware by the transmit and receive registers, respec-
tively, while the software is performing other tasks. The
transmit and receive registers are both located in the
Serial Data Buffer (SBUF) special function register. Writ-
ing to the SBUF register loads the transmit register, and
reading from the SBUF register obtains the contents of
the receive register.
1. to input the external clock for Timer/Counter 2, or
2. to output a 50% duty cycle clock ranging from 122
Hz to 8 MHz at a 16 MHz operating frequency (61
Hz to 4 MHz in 12 clock mode).
To configure Timer/Counter 2 as a clock generator, bit
C/#T2 (in T2CON) must be cleared and bit T20E in
T2MOD must be set. Bit TR2 (T2CON.2) also must be set
to start the timer.
The UART has four modes of operation which are selected
by the Serial Port Mode Specifier (SM0 and SM1) bits of
the Serial Port Control (SCON) special function register. In
all four modes, transmission is initiated by any instruction
that uses the SBUF register as a destination register.
Reception is initiated in mode 0 when the Receive Interrupt
(RI) flag bit of the Serial Port Control (SCON) SFR is
cleared and the Reception Enable/ Disable (REN) bit of the
SCON register is set. Reception is initiated in the other
modes by the incoming start bit if the REN bit of the SCON
register is set.
The Clock-Out frequency depends on the oscillator fre-
quency and the reload value of Timer 2 capture registers
(RCAP2H, RCAP2L) as shown in this equation:
Oscillator Frequency
n x (65536 - RCAP2H, RCAP2L)
n = 2 (in 6 clock mode)
4 (in 12 clock mode)
Where (RCAP2H, RCAP2L) = the contents of RCAP2H
and RCAP2L taken as a 16-bit unsigned integer.
6.1.1 Framing Error Detection
In the Clock-Out mode, Timer 2 roll-overs will not generate
an interrupt. This is similar to when it is used as a baud-rate
generator. It is possible to use Timer 2 as a baud-rate gen-
erator and a clock generator simultaneously. Note, how-
ever, that the baud-rate and the Clock-Out frequency will
not be the same.
Framing Error Detection is a feature, which allows the
receiving controller to check for valid stop bits in modes 1,
2, or 3. Missing stops bits can be caused by noise in serial
lines or from simultaneous transmission by two CPUs.
Framing Error Detection is selected by going to the PCON
register and changing SMOD0 = 1 (see Figure 6-1). If a
stop bit is missing, the Framing Error bit (FE) will be set.
Software may examine the FE bit after each reception to
check for data errors. After the FE bit has been set, it can
only be cleared by software. Valid stop bits do not clear FE.
When FE is enabled, RI rises on the stop bit, instead of the
last data bit (see Figure 6-2 and Figure 6-3).
