• Manufacturer Part Number: w77e58
• Description: 8 Bit Microcontroller
• Manufacturer: Winbond Electronics Corp America

Transmission begins with a write to SBUF. The serial data is brought out on to TxD pin at C1
following the first roll-over of divide by 16 counter. The next bit is placed on TxD pin at C1 following
the next rollover of the divide by 16 counter. Thus the transmission is synchronized to the divide by
16 counter and not directly to the write to SBUF signal. After all 8 bits of data are transmitted, the stop
bit is transmitted. The TI flag is set in the C1 state after the stop bit has been put out on TxD pin. This
will be at the 10th rollover of the divide by 16 counter after a write to SBUF.
Reception is enabled only if REN is high. The serial port actually starts the receiving of serial data,
with the detection of a falling edge on the RxD pin. The 1-to-0 detector continuously monitors the RxD
line, sampling it at the rate of 16 times the selected baud rate. When a falling edge is detected, the
divide by 16 counter is immediately reset. This helps to align the bit boundaries with the rollovers of
the divide by 16 counter.
The 16 states of the counter effectively divide the bit time into 16 slices. The bit detection is done on
a best of three basis. The bit detector samples the RxD pin, at the 8th, 9th and 10th counter states.
By using a majority 2 of 3 voting system, the bit value is selected. This is done to improve the noise
rejection feature of the serial port. If the first bit detected after the falling edge of RxD pin is not 0,
then this indicates an invalid start bit, and the reception is immediately aborted. The serial port again
looks for a falling edge in the RxD line. If a valid start bit is detected, then the rest of the bits are also
detected and shifted into the SBUF.
After shifting in 8 data bits, there is one more shift to do, after which the SBUF and RB8 are loaded
and RI is set. However certain conditions must be met before the loading and setting of RI can be
done.
If these conditions are met, then the stop bit goes to RB8, the 8 data bits go into SBUF and RI is set.
Otherwise the received frame may be lost. After the middle of the stop bit, the receiver goes back to
looking for a 1-to-0 transition on the RxD pin.
1. RI must be 0 and
2. Either SM2 = 0, or the received stop bit = 1.
