combination of many of the necessary peripheral
functions in a microprocessor system.
Included are :
Eight parallel I/O lines
Interrrupt controller for 16 sources
Four timers
Single channelfull duplex USART
The useof the MFPin a system cansignificantly reducechipcount,thereby reducing systemcost. The

The GeneralPurpose I/O-InterruptPort(GPIP) provides eight I/O lines that may be operated eitheras
inputsor outputsundersoftwarecontrol. In addition,
each line may generate an interrupt in either a positivegoing edge or a negative goingedge ofthe input signal.
The GPIP has three associated registers. One allows the programmer to specify the ActiveEdgefor
eachbitthatwilltrigger an interrupt. Another register
specifies the Data Direction (input or output) associated with each bit. The thirdregister is the actual
data I/O register used to input or output datato the
port. These three registers are illstrated in figure5.
The ActiveEdge Register (AER) allows each of the
General Purpose Interrupts to provide an interrupt
on either a 1-0 transition or a 0-1 transition. Writing
a zero to the appropriate bit of the AER causes the
associatedinput to produce an interrupt on the 1-0
transition. The edgebit is simply one input to an exclusive-orgate, withthe otherinput comingfrom the
input buffer ant the output going to a 1-0 transition
detector. Thus, depending upon the state of the input, writing the AER can cause an interrupt-producing transition,which will cause an interrupt on the
associatedchannel, if that channel is enabled. One
would then normally configure the AER before
enabling interrupts via IERA and IERB.
Note : Changing the edge bit, with the interrupt
enabled, may cause an interrupt on that channel.
TheDataDirection Register(DDR)isusedtodefine
10-17 as inputs or as outputs on a bit by bit basis.
Writinga zero into a bit of the DDR causes the corresponding Interrupt-I/O pin to be a Hi-Z input. Writing a one into a bit of the DDR causes the corresponding pin to be configured as a push-pull output. When data is written into the GPIP,those pins
definedas inputs willremainin theHi-Z state while
those pins definedas outputs will assume the state
(high or low) of their corresponding bit in the GPIP.
When the GPIP is read, the data readwill come directlyfromthecorresponding bitoftheGPIPregister
forallpinsdefinedas output, whilethe data read on
all pins defined as inputs will come from the input
buffers.
Eachindividual functionin the MK68901isprovided

There are 16 vectoraddresses generated internally
by the MK68901, one for each of the 16 interrupt
channels.
The Interrupt Control Registers (figure 8) provide

Interrupts may be either polled or vectored. Each
channel may be individual enabled or disabled by
writinga one or a zeroin theappropriate bitof Interrupt EnableRegisters (IERA, IERB-seefigure 8for
all registers in this section). When disabled, an interrupt channel is completely inactive. Any internal
or externalaction which would normally produce an
interrupt onthatchannelis ignored and anypending
interrupt onthat channel willbecleared by disabling
that channel.Disabling aninterrupt channel hasno
effect on the corresponding bit in Interrupt In-Service Registers (ISRA, ISRB); thus,if the In-service
Registersare used and an interrupt is in service on
that channelwhenthe channel is disabled, itwillremain in service until cleared in the normal manner.
IERA and IERB are alsoreadable.
When an interrupt is received on an enabled channel, itscorresponding bit in the pending register will
be set. When that channel is acknowledged it will
pass its vector,and thecorresponding bit in the Interrupt Pending Register (IPRA or IRPB) will be
cleared. IPRA and IPRBare readable ; thus by polling IPRA and IPRB, it can be determined whether
a channel has a pending interrupt. IPRA and IPRB
are also writeable and a pending interrupt can be
clearedwithout goingthrough the acknowledge sequence by writing a zero to the appropriate bit.This
allowsanyonebitto becleared, without alteringany
other bits, simply by writing all ones exceptfor the
bit position to be cleared to IPRA or IPRB. Thus a
fully polled interrupt schemeis possible. Note : writing a one to IPRA,IPRB has no effect on the interrupt pending register.
The interrupt maskregisters (IMRAand IMRB)may
beused to blocka channelfrommakingan interrupt
request. Writinga zero intothe corresponding bit of
the mask register will still allow the channel to receive an interrupt and latch it into its pending bit (if
thatchannel is enabled), but willprevent that channelfrom makingan interrupt request. Ifthat channel
is causing an interrupt request at the time the corresponding bit inthe maskregister iscleared, therequest willcease.If no other channel is making a request, INTRwillgo inactive. If the mask bitis re-enabled, any pending interrupt is now free to resume
its request unless blocked by a higher priority requestforservice. IMRAand IMRBarealsoreadable
. A conceptual circuit of an interrupt channel is
shownin figure10.

Therearetwoend-of-interrupt modes : the automatic end-of-interrupt mode andthesoftwareend-of-interruptmode. Themodeisselected by writinga one
or a zero to the S bit of theVector Register (VR). If
the S bit of the VR is a one, all channels operate in
the software end-of-interrupt mode. If the S bitis a
zero, all channels operate in the automatic end-ofinterrupt mode, and a reset is held on all in-service
bits. In the automatic end-of-interrupt mode, the
pending bit is cleared when that channel passes its
vector. At that point, no further history of that interrupt remains in the MK68901 MFP. In the software
end-of-interrupt mode, the in-service bit is set and
the pending bit is cleared when the channel passes
itsvector.Withthein-service bitset,nolowerpriority
channelisallowed torequest an interrupt or topass
its vector during an acknowledge sequence ; however, a lower priority channelmaystillreceive an interruptand latchit intothepending bit.Ahigher priority channelmay stillrequestan interrupt andbe ac-
knowledged. The in-service bitof a particularchannel may be cleared by writing a zero to the corresponding bit in ISRA or ISRB. Typically, thiswill be
done at the conclusion of the interrupt routine just
before thereturn. Thusno lower priority channelwill
beallowedto requestserviceuntil thehigherpriority
channel is complete, while channels of still higher
priority will be allowed torequest service. While the
in-service bit isset,a secondinterrupt on that channelmaybereceivedandlatched intothependingbit,
though no service request will be made in response tothesecond interrupt untilthein-service bit
iscleared. ISRA and ISRB mayberead atany time.
Only a zero may be writtenintoany bit of ISRA and
ISRB;thusthein-servicebitsmaybe cleared insoftwarebut cannotbe set insoftware.This allows any
onebit tobe cleared, without alteringany other bits,
simplyby writingall ones except for the bit position
to be cleared to ISRA or ISRB, as with IPRA and
IPRB.

Each interrupt channel respondswith a discrete 8bit vector when acknowledged. The upper four bits
of the vector are setby writing the upper four bits of
the VR.The four low order bits (bit 3-bit 0) are generatedby the interrupting channel.
Toacknowledge aninterrupt, IACKgoeslow,theIEI
inputmustgolow (or be tiedlow)and the MK68901
MFPmust have an acknowledgeable interrupt pending. The Daisy Chaining capability (figure 11) requires that allpartsin achainhaveacommonIACK.
Whenthe common IACK goes low, all parts freeze
and prioritize interrupts in parallel. Then priority is
passeddownthe chain, via IEI and IEO, untila part
which has a pending interrupt is reached. The part
withthepending interrupt, passesa vector,doesnot
propagate IEO, and generatesDTACK.
Figure 9 describes the 16 prioritized interrupt channels.Aschown, GeneralPurpose Interrupt7hasthe
highestpriority, whileGeneralPurpose Interrupt 0 is
assignedthe lowestpriority. Eachofthesechannels
may be reprioritized, in effect, by selectively masking interrupts under software control. The binary
numbers under ”channel” correspond to the modified bits IV3, IV2, IV1 and IV0, respectively, of the
InterruptVector for each channel (see figure 6).
Each channel has an enable bit contained in IERA
or IERB, a pending latchcontained in IPRAor IPRB,
a maskbit contained in IMRA or IMRB, and an in–
servicelatch contained inISRAor ISRB. Additionally, the eight General Purpose Interrupts each have
an edge bit contained in the Active Edge Register
(AER), a bit to define the line as input or output
contained intheData Direction Register(DDR)and
an I/O bit in the General PurposeInterrupt-I/O Port
(GPIP).
TIMERS
Therearefour timerson theMK68901 MFP. Twoof
thetimers (Timer A and Timer B) arefullfunction timers which can perform the basic delay function
and can also perform event counting, pulse width
measurement, and waveformgeneration. Theother
two timers (Timer C and Timer D) are delay timers
only.Oneorbothofthesetimers canbeusedtosupply the baud rate clocks for the USART. All timers
are prescaler/counter timers with a common independent clockinput(XTAL1, XTAL2). Inaddition, all
timershave a time-out output, function that toggles
eachtime the timer times out.
The four timers are programmed via three Timer
ControlRegisters andfourTimerDataRegisters.Timers A and Bare controlledby thecontrol registers
TACRand TBCR,respectively (see figure 12), and
by the data registers TADR and TBDR (figure 13).
TimersCand Darecontrolled bythecontrolregister
TCDCR (see figure 14) and two data registers
TCDR and TDDR. Bits in the control registers allow
the selection of operational mode, prescale, and
controlwhite the data registers are usedto read the
timeror write into the time constant register. Timer
A and B input pins TAI and TBI, are used for the eventand pulse width modes for timers A andB.
Withthe timer stopped, no counting can occur.The
timercontents will remainunaltered while the timer
isstopped(unlessreloaded bywriting the TimerDataRegister), but any residualcount in the prescaler
willbe lost.

In the delay mode, the prescaler is always active.
A countpulse will be applied to the main timer unit
each time the prescribed number of timer clock cycles has elapsed. Thus, if the prescaler is programmed to divide by ten, a count pulse will be applied
to the main counter every ten cycles of the timer
clock.
Eachtimeacount pulseisapplied tothemaincounter, it will decrement its contents. The main counter
is initiallyloadedby writingto theTimer Data Register. Each count pulsewillcause the current countto
decrement. When the timerhasdecremented down
to ”01” , the next countpulsewill not cause it to decrement to ”00”. Instead, the next count pulse will
cause the timerto bereloaded from the Timer Data
Register.Additionally, a ”Timeout” pulse willbeproduced. This Time Out pulse is coupled to the timer
interrupt channel, and, if thatchannel is enabled,an
interrupt willbe produced. TheTime Outpulseis also coupled to the timeroutput pin and willcausethe
pin to change states.The output will remain in this
newstateuntilthenextTimeOutpulseoccurs. Thus
the output will complete one full cycle for each two
Time Out pulses.
If, for example, the prescaler were programmed to
divideby ten,andthe TimerData Register wereloa-
V000359
ded with 100(decimal),the main counter would decrement onceforeverytencyclesofthe timerclock.
ATimeOutpulsewilloccur(henceaninterrupt ifthat
channel is enabled) every 1000 cycles of the timer
clock,and thetimer outputwill complete one fullcycleevery 2000 cyclesof thetimer clock.
The maincounter is an 8-bit binary down counter. It
maybe readat any time by reading theTimer Data
Register. The information read is the information
lastclockedintothetimerreadregister when the DS
pinhadlastgonehigh prior to thecurrentreadcycle.
When written,dataisloaded intotheTimerDataRegister,and the main counter, if the timeris stopped.
If the Timer Data Register is written while the timer
is running, thenewwordis notloaded intothe timer
until it counts through H”01”. However, if the timer
iswritten whileitis counting throughH”01”,an indeterminatevalue willbewrittenintothetimer constant
register. This maybecircumvented byensuringthat
the data register is not written when the count is
H”01”.
If the main counter is loaded with ”01”, a Time Out
Pulse will occur every time the prescaler presents
a count pulse to the main counter. If loaded with
”00”, a Time Out pulse will occur every 256 count
pulses.

Figure 15 : A Conceptual Circuitof theMFP Timers in the Pulse Width Measurement Mode.
Changing the prescale value with the timer running
can causethe firstTimeOut pulse tooccurat an indeterminate time, (no less thanone nor more than
200 timer clockcycles timesthe number in the time
constantregister),but subsequent Time Out pulses
will then occur at thecorrect interval.
In addition to the delay mode described above, Timers A and B can also function in the Pulse Width
Measurement mode orin the EventCount mode.In
eitherofthesetwomodes,anauxiliary controlsignal
is required. Theauxiliary control input forTimer A is
TAI,andforTimerB,TBIisused.Theinterrupt channels associatedwith14 and13 are used forTAIand
TBI, respectively, in Pulse Width mode. See Figure
15.
The pulse width measurement mode functions
much like the delay mode. However, in this mode,
the auxiliary control signal on TAIor TBI acts as an
enableto the timer. When the control signal on TAI
or TBI is inactive,the timerwill be stopped.When it
is active,the prescaler andmaincounter areallowed
to run. Thus the width of the active pulse on TAI or
TBI is determined by the number of timer counts
which occur while the pulse allows the timer to run.
The active state of the signal on TAI or TBI is dependent upon the associated Interrupt Channel’s
edge bit (GPIP 4 for TAI and GPIP 3 for TBI : see
Active Edge Registerin figure 5). If the edge bit as-
V000332
sociated with the TAI or TBI input is a one, it willbe
active high ; thus the timer will be allowed to run
when the input is at a high level. If the edge bit is a
zero, the TAI or TBI inputwill be activelow. As previously stated, the interrupt channel (13 or 14) associated with the input stillfunctionswhen thetimer
isusedinthepulsewidthmeasurement mode.However, if the timer is programmed for the pulse width
measurement mode, theinterrupt caused bytran-sitionson theassociatedTAIor TBIinputwilloccuron
theopposite transition.
For example,if the edge bit associated with the TAI
input (AER-GPIP 4) is as one, an interrupt would
normally be generated on the0-1transitionof the14
input signal. If the timer associated with this input
(TimerA) is placed in thepulse width measurement
mode, the interrupt will occuron the 1-0 tran-sition
of the TAI signal instead. Because the edge bit
(AER-GPIP 4) is a one, Timer A will be allowed to
count while the input is high. When the TAI input
makes the high to low transition, Timer A will stop,
and it isat this pointthat theinterrupt will occur (assumingthat the channel isenabled). This allows the
interrupt tosignaltheCPUthatthepulsebeing measured has terminated ; thus Timer A may now be
readto determine the pulse width.(Again note that
13 and 14 may still be used for I/O when the timer
is in the pulse width measurement mode). If Timer
12/33
MK68901
A isreprogrammed for another mode, interruptswill
againoccuron the transition,asnormally definedby
the edge bit. Note that, like changing the edge bit,
placing the timer into or taking it out of the pulse
width mode can produce a transition on the signal
to theinterrupt channel andmaycausean interrupt.
If measuring consecutive pulses, it is obvious that
one mustreadthecontents of thetimer andthenreinitialize themaincounterbywriting tothetimerdata
register.If the timer data register iswritten while the
pulseisgoingto theactivestate,thewrite operation
may result in an indeterminate value being written
into themain counter. If the timeris writtenafter the
pulse goes active, the timer counts from the previous contents, and when it counts through H”01”,
the correctvalue is written into the timer.The pulse
width then includes counts from before the timer
was reloaded.
In the event count mode, the prescaler is disabled.
Each timethe control input on TAI or TBimakesan
activetransition as defined by the associated Interrupt Channel’s edge bit, a count pulse willbe generated, and the main counter willdecrement. In all other respects, the timerfunctionsas previously described.Altering the edgebit while the timer is in the
event count mode can produce a countpulse. The
interrupt channel associated with the input(I3 for I4
for TAI) is allowed to function normally. To count
transitions reliably, the input must remain in each
state (1/O) for a lengthof timeequalto four periods
of the timer clock; thus signals of a frequency upto
one fourth of thetimer clock can be counted.
The manner in which the timer output pins toggle
states has previously beendescribed. All timeroutputs willbe forcedlowby a deviceRESET.Theoutput associated with Timers A and B will toggle on
each Time Out pulseregardless of the mode the timers are programmed to. In addition, the outputs
from TimersA and B can be forcedlow at any time
by writing a ”1” to the reset location in TACR and
TBCR,respectively. The output willbe forced to the
low state during the WRITE operation, and at the
conclusion of the operation, the outputwillagain be
free to toggle each time a Time Out pulse occurs.
Thisfeature will allow waveform generation.
During reset,theTimerDataRegisters andthemain
countersare notreset. Also,if using theresetoption
on Timers A or B, one must make sure to keep the
otherbits in the correct state so as not to affectthe
operation of Timers A and B.
USART
Serial Communication is provided by a full-duplex
double-buffered USART, which is capable of either
asynchronous or synchronous operation. Variable
word length and start/stop bit configurations are
available under software control for asynchronous
operation. Forsynchronous operation, aSyncWord
is provided to establish synchronization during receiveoperations. The SyncWord willalso be repeatedlytransmitted whennootherdata is available for
transmission. Moreover, the MK68901 allows stripping of all Sync Words received in synchronous operation. Thehandshake controllinesRR(Receiver
Ready) and TR (Transmitter Ready) allow DMA operation. Separate receive and transmit clocks are
available, and separate receive and transmit status
and data bytes allow independent operation of the
transmitand receive sections.
The USART is provided with three Control/Status
Registers and a Data Register. The USART Data
Register form is illustrated in figure 16. The programmer may specify operational parameters for
theUSARTvia theControl Register,asshowninfigure17. Status of both the ReceiverandTransmitter
sections isaccessedbymeansofthetwoStatusRegisters,as shown in figures18 and 19. Datawritten
to the Data Register is passed to the transmitter,
whilereadingthe DataRegister will accessdata receivedby theUSART.

RECEIVER
The receiver section ofthe USART is configured by
theUCR as previously described. The status of the
receiver can be determined by reading and writing
tothe Receiver StatusRegister (RSR). TheRSR is
configured as follows :

OE:Overrun Error. This flag is set if the inco-
ming word is completely received and
duetobetranferredtothereceivebuf-fer,
butthelast wordinthereceive buf-ferhas
not yet been read. When this condition
occurs,the word in the receive buffer is
not overwritten by the new word. Note
that the status flags always reflect the
statusofthe dataword currentlyin thereceive buffer. As such, the OE flag is not
actuallyset until the good word currently
inthebuffer has beenread.The interrupt
associated with this error will also notbe
generated unti theoldwordin thereceive
bufferhas beenread.
OEflagiscleared byreading thereceiver
statusregister,and new datawordscannot be shifted to the receive buffer until
thisis done.
PE :ParityError. Thisflagis setif thewordre-
ceivedhas a parity error. The flag is set
when the received word is tranferred
from the shift registerto thereceive bufferiftheerror conditionexists.The flagis
cleared when the nextword which does
nothave aparity erroris tranferred to the
receive buffer.
FE :Frame Error. Thisflagonly appliesto the
asynchronous format. A frame error is
definedasa non-zero dataword whichis
not followed by a stop bit. Like the PE
flag,theFE flagis set or cleared when a
word is transferred to the receivebuffer.
F/S :Found/Search. This combination control
bitand flag bit is only used with the synchronous format. Itcan be setor cleared
bywritingtothisbitoftheRSR.Whenthis
bitis cleared, thereceiveris placedinthe
search mode. In this mode, a bit by bit
comparison of the incoming data to the
character inthe SyncCharacter Register
(SCR)is made. The word length counter
is disabled.When a match is found, this
bit willbe set automatically, and theword
length counter will startas sync has not
been achieved. Aninterrupt willbegenerated on the receive error channel when
the match occurs. The word just shifted
in will,or necessity, be equal to the sync
character, and itwillnot betransferred to
the receivebuffer.
B :Break.Thisflag is used only when thea-
synchronous formatisselected. Thisflag
willbe setwhen anallzerodataword,followedby nostopbit, is received. Theflag
willstaysetuntilbotha non-zero bitis received and the RSR has been read at
least once since the flag was set. Break
indicationwillnot occurifthereceivebuffer is full.
M/CIP:Match/Character in Progress.If the syn-
chronous format is selected, this flag is
the Matchflag.It willbeset each timethe
word transferred to the receive buffer
matchesthe sync character. It will be reset eachtime the word transferred to the
receive buffer does not match the sync
character. If the asynchronous format is
selected, this flag represents Character
in Progress. It will be set upon a startbit
detectandclearedat the endoftheword.
SS :Sync Strip Enable. If this bit is set to a
one, data words that match the sync
character will not be loaded into the receive buffer, and no buffer full signalwill
be generated.
RE:Receiver Enable. This control bit is used
to enableor disable thereceiver. If a zero
is writtento this bitof the RSR, the receiver will turn off immediately. All flags including theF/Sbitwill be cleared. If a one
is writtento this bit, normal receiver operation is enabled. The receive clock has
to be running before the receiver is enabled.

Therearetwointerruptchannels associated withthe
receiver. Onechannel is used for the normalBuffer
Full condition, whilethe other channelis used whenever an error condition occurs. Only one interrupt
is generated per word received, but dedicating two
channelsallows separatevectors : onefor the normal condition, and one for an error condition. If the
error channel is disabled, an interruptwillbe gen-erated via the ButterFull Channel, whether the word
received is normal or in error. Those conditions
which produce an interrupt via the error channel
are : Overrun, Parity Error, Frame Error, Sync
Found, and Break. If a received word has an error
associatedwith it, and the error interrupt channel is
enabled,an interrupt willoccur on the error channel
only.
Each time a word istransferred into the receive buffer, a corresponding set of flags is latched into the
RSR. No flags(except CIP) are allowed to change
until the data word hasbeen read from the receive
buffer.Reading thereceive buffer allows a newdata
word to be transferredto the receive buffer when it
is received. Thusoneshouldfirstreadthe RSRthen
read the receive buffer (UDR) to ensure that the
flagsjustreadmatchthedatawordjust read. Ifdone
in the reverse order, it is possible that subsequent
to readingthe datawordfrom the receivebuffer,but
prior to reading the RSR, anew wordmaybe received and transferred to the receive buffer and, with
it, its associated flags latched into the RSR. Thus,
when theRSR is read,thoseflags mayactuallycorrespondto a different dataword.It is goodpractice,
also to read the RSR prior to a data read as, when
an overrunerroroccurs, thereceiver willnotassemble new characters until the RSRhas been read.
As previously stated, when overrun occurs, the OE
flag will not be set and the associated interrupt will
not be generated until the receive buffer has been
read. If a break occurs, and the receive buffer has
not yetbeenread, only the Bflag willbe set(OEwill
not be set). Again, this flag will not be set until the
lastvalid word has been read from the receive buffer. If the break condition ends and another whole
data word is received before the receive buffer is
read, both the B and OE flags will be setonce the
receive buffer is read.
If a break occurs while the OE flag is set, the B flag
willalso be set.
A break generates an interrupt when the condition
occurs and again when the condition ends. If the
break condition ends before it is acknowledged by
reading the RSR,thereceiver errorinterrupt indicatingendof break will be generated once the RSR is
read.
Anytimethe asynchronous format is selected, start
bitdetection is enabled. New datais not shifted into
theshift register untila zero bitis detected.If a÷ 16
clockis selected, along with the asynchronous format, false start bit detection is also enabled. Any
transition hasto be stablefor 3positivegoing edges
ofthereceiveclocktobecalledavalidtransition. For
a start bit to begood, avalid 0-1 transitionmust not
occur for 8 positive clock transitions after the initial
valid 1-0 transition.
Aftera good start bit has been detected, valid transitions in the data are checked for continously.
When a valid transition is detected, the counter is
forcedtostatezero,andnomoretransition checking
isstarteduntilstatefour.Atstateeight,the”previous
state”of the transition checking logicis clockedinto
thereceiver.
Asa resultof this resynchronization logic, it is possible to run with asynchronous clockswithout start
and stop bits if there are sufficient valid transitions
in the data stream. This logic also makes the unit
more tolerant of clock skew for normal asynchronouscommunications than adevicewhich employs
only startbit synchronization.

TRANSM I TTER
The transmitter section of the USARTis configured
as to format, word length, etc. by the UCR, as previouslydescribed. The status of the transmitter can
be determined by reading or writingthe Transmitter
StatusRegister (TSR). TheTRSisconfigured asfollows :
BE :Buffer Empty.This status bit is set when
theword in the transmitbufferistransferred to the output shift register and thus
thetransmitbuffermay bereloaded with
the next data word. The flag is cleared
whenthetransmitbufferis reloaded. The
transmitbufferis loaded bywritingto the
UDR.
UE :This bit is set when the last word has
been shifted out of the transmit shift register before a new word has been loaded into the transmit buffer. It is not necessarytoclearthisbitbeforeloading the
UDR.
Thisbitmay be cleared byeitherreading
the TSR or by disabling the transmitter.
After the setting of the UE bit, one full
transmitter clockcycleis required before
this bit can be cleared by a read. The timing in some systemsmay allowa read
of the TSRbefore therequired clock cycle has been completed. This would result in the UE bit not being cleared until
thefollowing read. To avoidthis problem,
a dummyread oftheTSRshouldbe performed at the end of he UE serviceroutine.
Onlyone underrun error may be generatedbetweenloadsofthe UDRregardless
of the number of transmitter clock cycles
between UDR loads.
AT :Thisbit causesthereceivertobeenabled
at the end of the transmission of the last
word in the transmitter if the transmitter
has been disabled.
END :EndorTransmission.When thetransmit-
teris turnedoffwith a character stillin the
output shift register, transmission will
continue until that character is shifted
out.Onceit has cleared the output register,the ENDbitwillbe set.Ifnocharacter
is being transmitted when thetransmitter
is disabled,thetransmitter willstopat the
nextrising edge of theinternalshiftclock,
and END will immediately be set. The
END bit is cleared by re-enabling the
transmitter.
B :Break.This controlbit willcause a break
to betransmitted. Whena ”1” iswrittento
the Bbitof the TSR,a break willbe transmitted upon completion of the character
(if any) currently being transmitted. A
breakwillcontinueto betransmitted until
the B bit is cleared by writinga ”0” tot his
bit of the TSR. At that time,normal transmission will resume. The B bit has no
function in the synchronous format. Setting the”B”bitto a one keepsthe ”BE”bit
from being set to aone.So,if there were
a word in the buffer at the start of break,
it would remain there until the end of
break,at whichtimeitwould betransmitted (if the transmitter is still enabled). If
the buffer were not full at the start of
break,it could be writtenat anytime duringthebreak. Ifthe bufferisemptyatthe
endofbreak, the underrun flagwillbe set
(unlessthe transmitteris disabled).
The BREAK bit cannot be set until the
transmitter has been enabled and the
transmitter has had sufficient time (one
clockcycle) to perform the internal reset
and initialization functions.
H,L:High and Low.These two controlbitsare
used to configure the transmitteroutput,
when the transmitter is disabled, as follows :
H L Output State
0 0 Hi-Z
0 1 Low (”0”)
1 0 High
1 1 Loop-Connects transmitter output to
receiver input,and TC to ReceiverClock
(RC andSIare not used;they arebypassed internally). In loop backmode,transmitter output goes high when disabled.

Enable (XE) is set will alter the output
stateuntilENDisfalse.Thesebitsshould
be set prior to enabling the transmitter.
The state of these bits determine the
stateof thefirst transmitted character after the transmitter is enabled. If the high
impedance mode was selected prior to
thetransmitter beingenabled, thefirst bit
transmitted is indeterminate.
XE :Transmitter Enable. This control bit is u-
sed to enable or disablethe transmitter.
When set, the transmitter is enabled.
Whencleared, the transmitter will be disabled.If disabled, any word currently in
the output register will continue to be
transmitted when XE is cleared, the
transmitter will turn off at the end of the
break character boundary, and noend of
break stopbitistransmitted. Thetransmit
clock must be running before the transmitteris enabledA ”one”bit always precedesthe firstwordout of the transmitter
after the transmitter is enabled. There is
a delay between the time the transmitter
enable bitiswritten anwhenthetransmitter reset goes low ; therefore, the H & L
bits should be written with the desired
stateprior to enablingthe transmitter.
Likethe receiver section, there aretwoseparate interrupt channels associated with the transmitter.
The buffer Empty condition causes an interrupt via
one channel, while the Underrun and END conditionswillcause an interrupt viathe second channel.
Whenunderrun occurs in the synchronousformat,
the character in the SCR willbe transmitted until a
new words is loaded into the transmit buffer. In the
asynchronous format,a ”Mark” willbe continuously
transmitted when underrun occurs.
The transmit buffer can be loadedprior to enabling
the transmitter. When the transmitter is disabled,
anycharactercurrently intheprocess ofbeingtransmittedwillcontinue toconclusion, butany character
inthe transmit buffer will not be transmittedand will
remain in the buffer.Thus no buffer empty interrupt
willoccurnorwilltheBEflagbeste.Ifthe bufferwere
already empty, the BE flag would be set and would
remain set. When the transmitter isdisabled with a
character in theoutputregister butwith nocharacter
in the transmit buffer, an Underrun Error will not occurwhen the character inprogress concludes.
Often it is necessary to send a break for some particularperiod.To aid in timing a breaktransmission,
a transmission, a transmit error interrupt will be generated at every normal character boundary time
during a break transmission. The status register informationis unaffected by thiserror condition interrupt.Itshouldbe notedthatanunderrun error,ifpresent,must be cleared from the TSR, and the interrupt pending register must be cleared of pending
transmitter errors at the beginning of the break
transmission orno interrupts willbegenerated atthe
character boundary time.
Itthe synchronous formatisselected,thesynccharactershould be loaded intothe Sync Character Register(SCR) as shouwnin figure 20. Thischaracter
is compared to the received serial data during a
Search, and will be continuously transmitted during
an underrun condition.
Allflags in theRSR orTSR will continueto function
as described whether their associated interrupt
channel is disabled or enabled. All interrupt channels areedge triggered and, in manycases,itis the
actualoutput ofaflagbit orflagbitswhichiscoupled
to the interrupt channel. thus, if a normal interrupt
producing conditionoccurswhiletheinterrupt channelisdisabled, nointerrupt wouldbeproduced even
if the channel was subsequently enabled, because
a transition did not occur whiletheinterrupt channel
was enabled. that particular flag bit would have to
occurasecond timebeforeanother ”edge”wasproduced, causing an interrupt to be generated.
Error conditions in the USART are determined by
monitoring the Receive Status Register and the
Transmitter Status Register.These error conditions
are only valid for each word boundary and are not
latched.When executing block tranfers or data, it is
necessary to save any errors so that they can be
checked at the end ofa block.In orderto saveerror
conditions during data transfer,the MK68901 MFP
interrupt controller maybeusedbyenablingerrorinterrupt for the desired channel (Receive error or
Transmit error) and by masking thesebitsoff. Once
thetranfer iscomplete, the Interrupt Pending Register can be polled, to determine the precence of a
pending errorinterrupt, and therefore an error.
18/33
MK68901
Unused bits in the sync character register are zeroed out ; therefore, word length should be set up
prior to writing the sync wordin some cases. Sync
word length is the wordlengthplus one when parity
is enabled. The user has to determine the parity of
the syncwordwhenthewordlengthisnot8 bits.The
MK68901 MFP does not add a parity bit to the sync
word if the word length is less than 8 bits. The extra
bit in the sync word is transmitted as the parity bit.
With a word length of eight, and parity selected, the
parity bitfor the sync wordis computed an added on
by the MK68901 MFP.
RR RECEIVER READY
RR is asserted when the Buffer Full bit is set in the
RSR unless a parity error or frame error is detected
by the receiver.
TR TRANSMITTER READY
TR isassertedwhentheBuffer Empty bit is setinthe
TSR unless a break is currently being transmitted.
REGISTER AC CESSES
All register accesses are dependent on CLK as
showninthe timingdiagrams. To readaregister, CS
andDSmustbeasserted,andR/Wmustbyhigh.The
internal read control signal is essentially the combinationof CS,DS, and RD/WR. Thus, the read ope-
rationwill begin whenCS and DS go activeand will
endwheneitherCSorDSgoesinactive.Theaddress
busmust be stable prior to the start of the operation
andmustremainstableuntil theendoftheoperation.
Unless a readoperationorinterrupt acknowledgecycleis in progress the data bus (D0-D7) willremain in
the tri-state condition.
Towritearegister, CSand DSmust beassertedand
R/W must be low. The address mustbe stable prior
to the start of the operation and must remain stable
untilthe endoftheoperation. Afterthe MK68901 assertsDTACK,theCPUnegatesDS,.Atthistime,the
MFPlatchesthe databus and writesthecontents into the appropriate register. Also when DS is negated,the MFP rescinds DTACK.
For an interrupt acknowledge, the operation starts
when IACK goes low, and ends when IACK goes
high. The data bus is tri-statedwhen either IACK or
DS goes high.
When CS or IACK are asserted the MFP startsan
internal cycle. DS is needed to enable the address
and data buffers. It is recommended taht CS and
IACK be gated by DS so that DS is always present
whenever an MFP bus cycle starts.
