A buffer for the System Clock generates internal timing for processes not directly concerned with serial data flow. Crystal Oscillator The crystal oscillator operates directly from a crystal, tuned between 1.0 and 8.0 MHz, connected across the X1/CCLK and X2 inputs with a minimum of external components. BRG values listed for the clock select registers correspond to a 3.6864 MHz crystal frequency. Use of a 7.3728 MHz crystal will double the Communication Clock frequencies. An external clock in the 100 KHz to 10 MHz frequency range may be connected to X1/CCLK. If an external clock is used instead of a crystal, X1/CCLK must be driven and X2 left floating. The X1 clock serves as the basic timing reference for the baud rate generator (BRG) and is available to the BRG timers . The X1 oscillator input may be left unused if the internal BRG is not used and the X1 signal is not selected for any counter input. Sclk – System Clock A clock frequency, within the limits specified in the electrical specifications, must be supplied for the system clock Sclk. To ensure the proper operation of internal controllers, the Sclk frequency provided, must be strictly greater than twice the frequency of X1 crystal clock, or any external 1x data clock input. The system clock serves as the basic timing reference for the host interface and other internal circuits. Baud Rate Generator BRG The baud rate generator operates from the oscillator or external X1/CCLK clock input and is capable of generating 22 commonly used data communications baud rates ranging from 50 to 230.4K baud. These common rates may be doubled (up to 460.8 and 500K baud) when faster clocks are used on the X1/X2 clock inputs. (See Receiver and Transmitter Clock Select Register descriptions.) All of these are available simultaneously for use by any receiver or transmitter. The clock outputs from the BRG are at 16X the actual baud rate. BRG Counters (Used for random baud rate generation) The two BRG Timers are programmable 16 bit dividers that are used for generating miscellaneous clocks. These clocks may be used by any or all of the receivers and transmitters in the Octart or output on the general purpose output pin GPO. Each timer unit has eight different clock sources available to it as described in the BRG Timer Control Register. (BRGTCR). Note that the timer run and stop controls are also contained in this register. The BRG Timers generate a symmetrical square wave whose half period is equal in time to the division of the selected BRG Timer clock source by the number loaded to the BRG Timer Reload Registers ( BRGTRU and BRGTRL). Thus, the output frequency will be the clock source frequency divided by twice the value loaded to the BRGTRU and BRGTRL registers. This is the result of counting down once for the high portion of the output wave and once for the low portion. Whenever the these timers are selected via the receiver or transmitter Clock Select register their output will be configured as a 16x clock for the respective receiver or transmitter. Therefore one needs to program the timers to generate a clock 16 times faster than the data rate. The formula for calculating ’n’, the number loaded to the BRGTRU and BRGTRL registers, is shown below. n + BRG Timer Input frequency 2 @ 16 @ desired baud rate – 1 Note: ’n’ may assume values of 0 and 1. In previous Philips data communications controllers these values were not allowed. The BRG timer input frequency is controlled by the BRG Timer control register (BRGTCR) The frequency generated from the above formula will be at a rate 16 times faster than the desired baud rate. The transmitter and receiver state machines include divide by 16 circuits which provide the final frequency and provide various timing edges used in the qualifying the serial data bit stream. Often this division will result in a non–integer value; 26.3 for example. One may only program integer numbers to a digital divider. There for 26 would be chosen. If 26.7 was the result of the division then 27 would be chosen. This gives a baud rate error of 0.3/26.3 or 0.3/26.7. which yields a percentage error of 1.14% or 1.12% respectively; well within the ability of the asynchronous mode of operation. One should be cautious about the assumed benign effects of small errors since the other receiver or transmitter with which one is communicating may also have a small error in the precise baud rate. In a ”clean” communications environment using one start bit, eight data bits and one stop bit the total difference allowed between the transmitter and receiver frequency is approximately 4.6%. Less than eight data bits will increase this percentage. Channel Blocks There are eight channel blocks, each containing an I/O port control, a data format control, and a single full duplex UART channel consisting of a receiver and a transmitter with their associated 16 byte FIFOs. Each block has its own status register, interrupt status and interrupt mask registers and their interface to the interrupt arbitration system. A highly programmable character recognition system is also included in each block. This system is used for the Xon/Xoff flow control and the multi-drop (”9 bit mode”) address character recognition. It may also be used for general purpose character recognition. Four I/O pins are provided for each channel. These pins are configured individually to be inputs or outputs. As inputs they may be used to bring external data to the bus, as clocks for internal functions or external control signals. Each I/O pin has a ”Change of State” detector. The change detectors are used to signal a change in the signal level at the pin (Either 0 to 1 or 1 to 0). The level change on these pins must be stable for 25 to 50 Us (two edges of the 38.4 KHz baud rate clock) before the detectors will signal a valid change. These are typically used for interface signals from modems to the OCTART and from there to the host. See the description of the ”UART channel” under detailed descriptions below. Character Recognition Character recognition is specific to each of the eight UARTs. Three programmable characters are provided for the character recognition for each channel. The three are general purpose in nature and may be set to only cause an interrupt or to initiate some rather complex operations specific to ”Multi-drop” address recognition or in–band Xon/Xoff flow control. Character recognition is accomplished via CAM memory. The Content Addressable Memory continually examines the incoming data stream. Upon the recognition of a control character appropriate bits are set in the Xon/Xoff Interrupt Status Register (XISR) and Interrupt Status Register (ISR). The setting of these bit(s) will |
