While in this mode, the receiver continuously looks at the received
data stream, whether it is enabled or disabled. If disabled, it sets the
RxRDY status bit and loads the character into the RxFIFO if the
received A/D bit is a one, but discards the received character if the
received A/D bit is a zero. If the receiver is enabled, all received
characters are transferred to the CPU via the RxFIFO. In either
case, the data bits are loaded into the data FIFO while the A/D bit is
loaded into the status FIFO position normally used for parity error
(SR[5]). Framing error, overrun error, and break detect operate
normally whether or not the receiver is enabled.
Automatic Operation, Wake-up and Doze
The automatic configuration for this mode uses onboard
comparators to examine incoming address characters. Each UART
channel may be assigned a unique address character. See the
address register map and the description of the Address
Recognition Character Register (ARCR). The device may be
programmed to automatically awaken a sleeping receiver and/or
disable an active receiver based upon address characters received.
The operation of the basic receiver is the same as described above
for the default mode of wake-up operation except that the CPU need
not be interrupted to make a change in the receiver status.
Three bits in the Mode Register 0, (MR0), control the address
recognition operation. MR0[6] controls the RxFIFO operation of the
received character; MR0[1:0] controls the Wake-up mode options. If
MR0[6] is set the address character will be pushed onto the
RxFIFO, otherwise the character will be discarded. (The charter is
stripped from the data stream) The MR0[1:0] bits set the options as
follows: A b’00 in this field, the default or power-on condition, puts
the device in the default (CPU controlled) Wake-up mode of
operation as described above. The auto-wake mode, enabled if
MR0[0] is set, will cause the dedicated comparators to examine
each address character presented by the receiver. If the received
character matches the reference character in ARCR, the receiver
will be enabled and all subsequent characters will be FIFOed until
another address event occurs or the host CPU disables the receiver
explicitly. The auto doze mode, enabled if MR0[1] is set, will
automatically disable the receiver if an address is received that does
not match the reference character in the ARCR.
The UART channel can present the address recognition event to the
interrupt arbiter for IRQN generation. The IRQN generation may be
masked by setting bit 5 of the Interrupt Mask Register, IMR. The bid
level of an address recognition event is controlled by the Bidding
Control Register, BCRA, of the channel.
Note: To ensure proper operation, the host CPU must clear any
pending Address Recognition interrupt before enabling a disabled
receiver operating in the Special or Wake-up mode. This may be
accomplished via the CR commands (or a read of the XISR) to
clear the Address Interrupt or by resetting the receiver.
Xon/Xoff Operation
Receiver Mode
Since the receiving FIFO resources in the Quad UART are limited,
some means of controlling a remote transmitter is desirable in order
to lessen the probability of receiver overrun. The Quad UART
provides two methods of controlling the data flow. A hardware
assisted means of accomplishing control, the so-called out-of-band
flow control, and an in-band flow control method.
The out-of-band flow control is implemented through the
CTSN-RTSN signaling via the I/O ports. The operation of these
hardware handshake signals is described in the receiver and
transmitter discussions.

In-band flow control is a protocol for controlling a remote transmitter
by embedding special characters within the message stream, itself.
Two characters, Xon and Xoff, which do not represent normal
printable characters take on flow control definitions when the
Xon/Xoff capability is enabled. Flow control characters received may
be used to gate the channel transmitter on and off. This activity is
referred to as Auto-transmitter mode. To protect the channel receiver
from overrun, fixed fill levels (hardware set at 12 characters) of the
RxFIFO may be employed to automatically insert Xon/Xoff
characters in the transmitter’s data stream. This mode of operation
is referred to as auto-receiver mode. Commands issued by the host
CPU via the CR can simulate all these conditions.
Auto-Transmitter Mode
When a channel receiver pushes an Xoff character into the RxFIFO,
the channel transmitter will finish transmission of the current
character and then stop transmitting. A transmitter so idled can be
restarted by the receipt of an Xon character by the receiver, or by a
hardware or software reset. The last option results in the loss of the
un-transmitted contents of the TxFIFO. When operating in this mode
the Command Register commands for the transmitter are not
effective.
While idle data may be written to the TxFIFO and it continues to
present its fill level to the interrupt arbiter and maintains the integrity
of its status registers.
Use of ’00’ as an Xon/Xoff character is complicated by the Receiver
break operation which pushes a ’00’ character on the RxFIFO. The
Xon/Xoff character detectors do not discriminate this case from an
Xon/Xoff character received through the RxD pin.
Note: To be recognized as an Xon or Xoff character, the receiver
must have room in the RxFIFO to accommodate the character. An
Xon/Xoff character that is received resulting in a receiver overrun
does not effect the transmitter nor is it pushed into the RxFIFO,
regardless of the state of the Xon/Xoff transparency bit, MR0(7).
Note: Xon /Xoff Characters
The Xon/Xoff characters with errors will be accepted as valid. The
user has the option sending or not sending these characters to the
FIFO. Error bits associated with Xon/Xoff will be stored normally to
the receiver FIFO.
The channel’s transmitter may be programmed to automatically
transmit an Xoff character without host CPU intervention when the
RxFIFO fill level exceeds a fixed limit (12). In this mode, it will
conversely transmit an Xon character when the RxFIFO level drops
below a second fixed limit (8). A character from the TxFIFO that has
been loaded into the TxD shift register will continue to transmit.
Character(s) in the TxFIFO that have not been popped are
unaffected by the Xon or Xoff transmission. They will be transmitted
after the Xon/Xoff activity concludes.
If the fill level condition that initiates Xon activity negates before the
flow control character can begin transmission, the transmission of
the flow control character will not occur, i.e. either of the following
sequences may be transmitted depending on the timing of the FIFO
level changes with respect to the normal character times:
Hardware keeps track of Xoff characters sent that are not rescinded
by an Xon. This logic is reset by writing MR0(3) to ’0’. If the user
drops out of Auto-receiver mode while the XISR shows Xon as the
last character sent, the Xon/Xoff logic will not automatically send the
negating Xon.
