This device provides up to two high-speed multichannel buffered serial ports (McBSPs) that allow direct interface to codecs and other devices in a system. The McBSP consists of a data-flow path and a control path connected to external devices by six pins as shown in Figure 21-1.
Data is communicated to devices interfaced with the McBSP via the data transmit (DX) pin for transmission and via the data receive (DR) pin for reception. Control information in the form of clocking and frame synchronization is communicated via the following pins: CLKX (transmit clock), CLKR (receive clock), FSX (transmit frame synchronization), and FSR (receive frame synchronization).
The CPU and the DMA controller communicate with the McBSP through 16-bit wide registers accessible via the internal peripheral bus. The CPU or the DMA controller writes the data to be transmitted to the data transmit registers (DXR1, DXR2). Data written to the DXRs is shifted out to the DX pin via the transmit shift registers (XSR1, XSR2). Similarly, receive data on the DR pin is shifted into the receive shift registers (RSR1, RSR2) and copied into the receive buffer registers (RBR1, RBR2). The contents of the receive buffer registers (RBRs) is then copied to the data receive registers (DRRs), which can be read by the CPU or the DMA controller. This allows simultaneous movement of internal and external data communications.
If the serial word length is 8 bits, 12 bits, or 16 bits, the DRR2, RBR2, RSR2, DXR2, and XSR2 registers are not used (written, read, or shifted) For larger word lengths, these registers are needed to hold the most significant bits.
The frame and clock loop-back is implemented at chip level to enable CLKX and FSX to drive CLKR and FSR. If the loop-back is enabled, the CLKR and FSR get their signals from the CLKX and FSX pads; instead of the CLKR and FSR pins.
