Hardware UART

The top line in

Figure 17-3

shows an asynchronous transmission as it is sent from the UART. The

second line shows the pulses generated by the IR encoder at the TXD pin. A pulse is generated in
the middle of the START bit and any data bit that is a zero. The third line shows the values received
at the RXD input pin. The fourth line shows the receive decoder’s output. The receive decoder
drives the receiver data line low when it detects a pulse. The bottom line shows how the UART’s
receiver interprets the decoder’s action. This last line is the same as the first, but it is shifted half a
bit period.

When XMODE is cleared, each zero bit has a pulse width of 3/16 of a bit time. When XMODE is
set, a pulse of 1.6

µ

s is generated in the middle of each zero bit. The shorter infrared pulse

generated when XMODE is set reduces the LED’s power consumption. At 2400 bps, the LED is
normally on for 78

µ

s for each zero bit that is transmitted. When XMODE is set, the LED is on

only 1.6

µ

s (as show in

Figure 17-4

).

To prevent transmitter LED reflection feed back to the receiver, disable the IR receiver decoder
when the IR transmit encoder transmits data and disables the IR transmit encoder when the IR
receiver decoder receives data. The RCVEIR and XMITIR bits in the Infrared Selection Register
(ISR) must not be set at the same time (refer to

Section 17.5.15

).
