5.3.6.6 Time-Out Mode

The time-out mode uses the received data stream to control the counter. The time-out mode forces the C/T into the timer mode. Each time a received character is transferred from the shift register to the Rx FIFO, the counter is restarted. If a new character is not received before the counter reaches zero count, the counter ready bit is set, and an interrupt can be generated. This mode can be used to indicate when data has been left in the Rx FIFO for more than the programmed time limit. If the receiver has been programmed to interrupt the CPU when the receive FIFO is full, and the message ends before the FIFO is full, the CPU is not interrupted for the remaining characters in the Rx FIFO.

By programming the C/T such that it would time-out in just over one character time, the above situation could be avoided. The processor would be interrupted any time the data stream had stopped for more than one character time.

Note:

This is very similar to the watchdog time of MR0. The difference is in the programmability of the delay time and that the watchdog timer is restarted by either a receiver load to the Rx FIFO or a system read from it.

This mode is enabled by writing the appropriate command to the command register. Writing 0xA to CRA or CRB invokes the time-out mode for that channel. Writing 0xC to CRA or CRB will disable the time-out mode. Only one receiver should use this mode at a time. However, if both are on, the time-out occurs after both receivers have been inactive for the time-out period. The start of the C/T is on the logic OR of the two receivers.

The time-out mode disables the regular start counter or stop counter commands and puts the C/T into counter mode under the control of the received data stream. Each time a received character is transferred from the shift register to the Rx FIFO, the C/T is stopped after one C/T clock, reloaded with the value in CTUR and CTLR and then restarted on the next C/T clock. If the C/T is allowed to end the count before a new character has been received, the counter ready bit, ISR[3], is set. If IMR[3] is set, this will generate an interrupt. Since receiving a character restarts the C/T, the receipt of a character after the C/T has timed out will clear the counter ready bit, ISR[3], and the interrupt. Invoking the Set Time-out Mode On command, CRx = 0xA, will also clear the counter ready bit and stop the counter until the next character is received. The counter/timer is controlled with six commands: Start/Stop C/T, Read/Write Counter/Timer lower register and Read/Write Counter/Timer upper register. These commands have slight differences depending on the mode of operation. Please see the detail of the commands in Section 5.3.7.3.
