XR68C92/192
DUAL UNIVERSAL ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER AND TRANSMITTER
August 2005
DESCRIPTION
The XR68C92/192 is a Dual Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter with 8 (XR68C92) / 16 (XR68C192)
bytes transmit and receive FIFO. The XR68C92/192 is a pin-to-pin compatible and an improved version of the
XR68C681 and the Philips SCC68692 UART with faster data access and other additional features. The operating
speed of the receiver and transmitter can be selected independently from a table of eighteen fixed baud rates, a
16X clock derived from a programmable counter/timer, or an external 1X or 16X clock. The baud rate generator
and counter/timer can operate directly from a crystal or from external clock input. The XR68C92/192 provides a
power-down mode in which the oscillator is stopped but the register contents are retained. The XR68C92/192 is
fabricated in an advanced CMOS process to achieve low power and high speed requirements.

XR68C92/192
communication baud rates (if a typical 3.6864MHz
crystal or clock is used) ranging from 50 to 230.4kbps
by producing internal clock outputs at 16 times the
actual baud rate. In addition, other baud rates can be
derived by connecting 16X or 1X clocks to multipurpose input port pins IP3 - IP6 that have alternate
functions as receiver or transmitter clock inputs.
INTERNAL CONTROL LOGIC
The internal control logic of the XR68C92/192 receives
operation commands from the central processing unit
(CPU) and generates appropriate signals to the internal sections to control device operation. The internal
control logic takes in the following inputs:
• -CS, which is the XR68C92/192 chip-select;
• R/-W which allows data transfers between the CPU
and XR68C92/192via the data bus (D0 to D7);
• four register-select lines (A0 through A3) which are
decoded to allow access to the registers within the
XR68C92/192;
• -RESET (reset), which initializes or resets all
outputs and internal registers.
Clock selector logic consists of the clock selector
register (CSRA, CSRB), bits 0 & 2 of Mode Register 0
(MR0A, MR0B) and bit-7 of Auxilliary Control Register
(ACR). These allow various combinations of these
baud rates for receiver and transmitter of each channel. See Baud Rate Table on page 18 for more details.
The programmable 16-bit counter/timer (C/T) can produce a 16X clock for other baud rates by counting down
its programmed clock source. Users can program the
16 bit C/T within the XR68C92/192 to use one of
several clock sources as its input. The output of the C/
T is available to the internal clock selectors and can
also be programmed to appear at output OP3. In the
timer mode, the C/T acts as a programmable divider
and can generate a square-wave output at OP3. In the
counter mode, the C/T can be started and stopped
under program control. When stopped, the CPU can
read its contents. The counter counts down the number of pulses stored in the concatenation of the C/T
upper register and C/T lower register and produces an
interrupt. This is a system-oriented feature that can be
used to record timeouts when implementing various
application protocols.
COMMUNICATION CHANNELS A AND B
Each communication channel includes a full-duplex
asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART). The operating frequency for each receiver and each transmitter
can be selected independently from the baud rate
generator, the Counter/Timer (C/T), or from an external clock. The transmitter accepts parallel data from
the CPU, converts it to a serial bit stream in the form of
a character and outputs it on the Transmit Data output
pin (TXA, TXB). The character consists of start, stop,
and optional parity bits, The receiver accepts serial
data on the Receive Data input pin (RXA, RXB),
converts this serial input to parallel format, checks for
a start bit, stop bit, parity bit (if any), framing error,
overrun or break condition, and transfers the data byte
to the CPU during read operations.
INTERRUPT CONTROL LOGIC
The following registers are associated with the interrupt control logic:
• Interrupt Mask Register (IMR)
• Interrupt Status Register (ISR)
• Auxiliary Control Register (ACR)
• Interrupt Vector Register (IVR)
TIMING LOGIC
The timing logic consists of
• a crystal oscillator,
• a baud rate generator (BRG),
• clock selector logic, and
• a programmable 16-bit counter/timer (C/T).
A single active-low interrupt output (-INT) can notify the
CPU that any of eight internal events has occurred.
These eight events are described in the discussion of
the interrupt status register (ISR). User can program
the interrupt mask register (IMR) to allow only certain
conditions to cause -INT to be asserted while the CPU
can read the ISR to determine all currently active
interrupting conditions. When an active-low interrupt
acknowledge signal (-IACK) from the CPU is asserted
The crystal oscillator operates directly from a typical
3.6864 MHz crystal connected across the XTAL1 and
XTAL2 inputs or from an external clock of the appropriate frequency connected to XTAL1. The XTAL1 clock
serves as the basic timing reference for the baud rate
generator, the C/T, and other internal circuits.
The baud rate generator operates from the XTAL1
clock input and can generate 28 commonly used data

XR68C92/192
while the XR68C92/192 has an interrupt pending, the
XR68C92/192 will place the contents of the interrupt
vector register (IVR, address 0x0C) on the data bus
and assert the data transfer acknowledge signal
(-DACK). If the XR68C92/192 has no pending interrupt, it ignores the -IACK cycles. In addition, users can
program the parallel outputs OP3 through OP7 to
provide discrete interrupt outputs for the transmitters,
the receivers, and the C/T. See 'Multi-purpose Outputs' section for details.
sampled on two consecutive sampling clocks to detect
a change. Also, users can program the XR68C92/192
to allow a change of state in any of the inputs IP0
through IP3 to generate an interrupt to the CPU. See
description of the Interrupt Status Register (ISR, address 0x05) for details. The IPCR bits are cleared when
the CPU reads the register. Also see the Baud Rate
Table on page 18.
MULTI-PURPOSE OUTPUTS (OP0 - OP7)
The eight output pins (OP0 - OP7) can either be used
as general purpose outputs or can be used for alternate functions representing various conditions using
- Mode Registers 1 and 2 (MR1A, MR1B, MR2A,
MR2B)
- Output Port Configuration Register (OPCR)
- Set Output Port Register (SOPR), and
- Reset Output Port Register (ROPR).
DATA BUS BUFFER (D0 - D7)
The data bus buffer provides the interface between the
external and internal data buses. It is controlled by the
internal control logic to allow read and write data
transfer operations to occur between the controlling
CPU and XR68C92/192 by way of the eight parallel
data lines (D0 through D7).
MULTI-PURPOSE INPUTS (IP0 - IP5)
OP0 and OP1:
The output OP0 can function as the channel A requestto-send (-RTSA) output for either the transmitter
(MR2A bit-5 = 1) or the receiver (MR1A bit-7 = 1). Note
that only one of these bits should be set to '1' at a given
time. See the description of the transmitter RTS and
receiver RTS in the 'Transmitter' and 'Receiver' sections of this datasheet respectively. The output OP1
acts as the channel B request-to-send (-RTSB) output
The states of the seven multi-purpose inputs (IP0
through IP5) can be read from the internal register IPR
(address 0x0D). The bits in this register are the
complements of the actual inputs - for example, if the
IP0 is low, the corresponding bit in the IPR, bit-0 is a
logic '1'. Each of these inputs also has an alternate
control function capability. The alternate functions can
be enabled/disabled on a bit-by-bit basis. The table
below shows how each of these inputs is configured for
its special function.
XR68C92/192
Four change-of-state detectors are associated with
inputs IP0, IP1, IP2, and IP3. If a high-to-low or low-tohigh transition occurs on any of these inputs, the
corresponding bit in the input port change register
(IPCR - address 0x04) will be set accordingly. The
sampling clock of the change detectors is the XTAL1/
96 tap of the baud rate generator, which is 38.4kHz if
XTAL1 is 3.6864MHz. A new input level must be

and is controlled in a similar way by the channel B
registers.
NOTE: The terms assertion and negation will be used
extensively to avoid confusion when dealing with a
mixture of “active low” and “active high” signals. The
term assert or assertion indicates that a signal is active
or true, independent of whether that level is represented by a high or low voltage. The term negate or
negation indicates that a signal is inactive or false.
OP2 - OP7:
The other outputs (OP2 - OP7) are configured via the
OPCR. Please see the description under the OPCR
register for the details.
CRYSTAL INPUTS (XTAL1 & XTAL2)
IP3 or IP5: see CSR bits 3:0). After the transmission of
the stop bits, and a new character is not available in the
transmit FIFO, the transmitter serial data output (TXA,
TXB) remains high. Transmission resumes when the
CPU loads a new character into the transmit FIFO. If
the transmitter receives a disable command (CRA,
CRB bits 3:2), it will continue operating until the character in the transmit shift register is completely sent
out. Other characters in the FIFO are neither sent nor
discarded, but will be sent when the transmitter is reenabled.
If a crystal is used, it is connected between XTAL1 and
XTAL2, in which case a capacitor of approximately 22
to 47 pF should be connected from each of these pins
to ground (see Figure 1). If an external CMOS-level
clock is used, the pin XTAL2 must be left open.
RESET
The XR68C92/192 can be reset by asserting the
-RESET signal or by programming the appropriate
internal registers. A hardware reset (assertion of
-RESET) clears the following registers:
• Status Registers A and B (SRA and SRB)
• Interrupt Mask Register (IMR)
• Interrupt Status Register (ISR)
• Output Port Configuration Register (OPCR)
TX RTS Control: Users can program the transmitter to
automatically negate the request-to-send (RTS) output (alternate function of OP0 and OP1 for channels A
and B respectively) on completion of a message transmission (using MR2A, MR2B bit-5). If the transmitter is
programmed to operate with RTS control, the RTS
output must be manually asserted before each message is transmitted. Also, the transmitter needs to be
disabled after all the required data are loaded into the
FIFO. Then, the RTS output will be automatically
negated when the transmit-shift register and the TX
FIFO are both empty. In automatic RTS mode, no more
characters can be written to the FIFO after the transmitter is disabled.
RESET also performs the following operations:
• Initializes the interrupt vector register (IVR) to 0x0F.
• Places the outputs OP0 through OP7 in the high
state
• Places the counter/timer in counter mode
• Places channels A and B in the inactive state with the
transmitter serial-data outputs (TXA and TXB) in the
mark (high) state.
Reset commands can be programmed through the
command registers to reset the receiver, transmitter,
error status, or break-change interrupts for each channel.
If auto clear-to-send (CTS) control is enabled (using
MR2A, MR2B bit-4), the CTS input (alternate function
of IP0 and IP1 for channels A and B respectively) must
be asserted (low) in order for the character to be
transmitted. If it gets negated (high) in the middle of a
transmission, the character in the shift register is
transmitted and the transmit data output (TXA, TXB)
then remains in the marking state until CTSA, CTSB
gets asserted again.
TRANSMITTER
The transmitter converts the parallel data from the
CPU to a serial bit stream on the transmitter output pin
(TXA, TXB). It automatically sends a start bit followed
by the programmed number of data bits, an optional
parity bit, and the programmed number of stop bits.
The least-significant bit is sent first. Data is shifted out
the transmit serial data output pin (TXA, TXB) on the

The transmitter can also be forced to send a continuous low (space) condition by issuing the start-break

A start-break is deferred as long as the transmitter has
characters to send, but if normal character transmission is inhibited by CTS, the start-break will proceed.
The start-break must be terminated by a stop-break or
a TX disable + TX reset before normal character
transmission can resume.
locations in XR68C92/192 respectively) and a receive
shift register connected to the receiver serial-data
input. Data is assembled in the shift register and
loaded into the bottom most empty FIFO location. If the
character length is less than eight bits, the most
significant unused bits are set to zero.
The channel A and B transmitters are enabled for data
transmission through their respective command registers (see CRA, CRB bits 3:2). The transmit FIFO
trigger levels (see MR0A, MR0B bits 4 and 5) are used
to generate an interrupt request to the CPU on the -INT
pin. This is also reflected in the Interrupt Status Register, ISR bit-0 for channel A and bit-4 for channel B. This
is different from the TxRDY bit in the status register.
If the stop bit is sampled as a 1, the receiver will
immediately look for the next start bit. However, if the
stop bit is sampled as a 0, either a framing error or a
received break has occurred. If the stop bit is 0 and the
data and parity (if any) are not all zero, it is a framing
error. The damaged character is transferred to the
FIFO with the framing error flag set. If the receiver
serial data remains low for one-half of the bit period
after the stop bit was sampled, the receiver operates as
if a new start bit transition has been detected. If the stop
bit is 0 and the data and parity (if any) bits are also all
zero, it is a break. A character consisting of all zeros will
be loaded into the the FIFO with the received-break bit
(but not the framing error bit) set to one. The receiver
serial-data input must return to a high condition for at
least one-half bit time before a search for the next start
bit begins. Also, at this time, the received break bit is
reset.
The TxRDY bit in the status register (SRA, SRB bit-2)
indicates if the TX FIFO has at least one empty
location. This can also be programmed to appear at
the output pin OP6/OP7. The TxEMT bit (SRA, SRB
bit-3) indicates if both the TX FIFO and the TX Shift
Register are empty.
The transmitter can be reset through a software command (CRA, CRB bits 7:4). If it is reset, operation
ceases immediately and must be enabled through the
command register before resuming operation. Reset
also discards any characters in the FIFO.
The receiver can detect a break that starts in the middle
of a character provided the break persists completely
through the next character time or longer. When the
break begins in the middle of a character, the receiver
will place the damaged character in the FIFO with the
framing error bit set. Then, provided the break persists
through the next character time, the receiver will also
place an all-zero character in the FIFO with the received-break bit set. The parity error, framing error,
overrun error, and received-break conditions (if any)
set error and break flags in the status register at the
received character boundary and are valid only when
the receiver-ready bit (RXRDY) in the status register is
set.
RECEIVER
The channel A and B receivers are enabled for data
reception through the respective channels command
register (CRA, CRB bits 1:0). The channels receiver
looks for the high-to-low (mark-to-space) transition of
a start bit on the receiver serial-data input pin. If
operating in 16X clock mode, the serial input data is resampled on the next 7 clocks. If the receiver serial data
is sampled high, the start bit is invalid and the search
for a valid start bit begins again. If receiver serial data
is still low, a valid start bit is assumed and the receiver
continues to sample the input at one bit time intervals
(at the theoretical center of the bit) until the proper
number of data bits and the parity bit (if any) have been
assembled and one stop bit has been detected. If an 1X
clock is used, data is sampled at one bit time intervals
throughout, including the start bit. Data on the receiver
serial data input pin is sampled on the rising edge of the
programmed clock source (XTAL1, IP4 or IP6: see
CSR bits 7:4).
The receiver-ready bit in the status register (SRA, SRB
bit-0) is set whenever one or more characters are
available to be read by the CPU. A read of the receiver
buffer produces an output of data from the top of the
FIFO stack. After the read cycle, the data at the top of
the FIFO stack and its associated status bits are
“popped” and new data can be added at the bottom of
the stack by the receive shift register. The FIFO-full
status bit (SRA, SRB bit-1) is set if all 8 (or 16) stack
positions are filled with data. Either the receiver-ready
In this process, the least significant bit is received first.
The receiver buffer is composed of the FIFO (8/16

XR68C92/192
or the FIFO-full status bits can be selected to cause an
interrupt (see MR1A, MR1B bit-6).
receiver when a valid start bit is received and the FIFO
stack is full. When a FIFO position becomes available,
the request-to-send output will be reasserted automatically by the receiver. Connecting the request-tosend output to the clear-to send (CTS) input of a
transmitting device prevents overrun errors in the
receiver. The RTS output must be manually asserted
the first time. Thereafter, the receiver will control the
RTS output.
In addition to the data byte, three status bits (parity
error, framing error, and received break) are appended
to each data character in the FIFO (overrun is not). By
programming the error-mode control bit (MR1A, MR1B
bit-5), status can be provided for “character” or “block”
modes. In the “character” mode, the status register
(SRA, SRB) is updated on a character-by-character
basis and applies only to the character at the top of the
FIFO. Thus, the status must be read before the character is read. Reading the character pops the data byte
and its error flags off the FIFO. In the “block” mode, the
status provided in the status register for the parity error,
framing error, and received-break conditions are the
logical OR of these respective bits, for all the data bytes
in the FIFO stack since the last reset error command
(see CRA, CRB bits 7:4) was issued. That is, beginning
immediately after the last reset-error command was
issued, a continuous logical-OR function of corresponding status bits is produced in the status register
as each character enters the FIFO.
If the FIFO stack contains characters and the receiver
is then disabled, the characters in the stack can still be
read but no additional characters can be received until
the receiver is again enabled. If the receiver is disabled
while receiving a character, or while there is a character in the shift register waiting for a FIFO opening, these
characters are lost. If the receiver is reset, the FIFO
stack and all of the receiver status bits, the corresponding output ports, and the interrupt request are reset. No
additional characters can be received until the receiver
is again enabled.
LOOPBACK MODES
Besides the normal operation mode in which the receiver and transmitter operate independently, each
XR68C92/192 channel can be configured to operate in
various looping modes (see MR2A, MR2B bits 7:6) that
are useful for local and remote system diagnostic
functions.
The block mode is useful in applications requiring the
exchange of blocks of information where the software
overhead of checking each character's error flags
cannot be tolerated. In this mode, entire messages can
be received and only one data integrity check is performed at the end of each message. Although data
reception in this manner has speed advantages, there
are also disadvantages. If an error occurs within a
message the error will not be recognized until the final
check is performed. Also, there is no indication of
which character(s) is in error within the message.
AUTOMATIC ECHO MODE
In this mode, the channel automatically retransmits the
received data on a bit-by-bit basis. The local CPU-toreceiver communication continues normally but the
CPU-to-transmitter link is disabled.
Reading the status register (SRA, SRB) does not affect
the FIFO. The FIFO is “popped” only when the receive
buffer is read. If the FIFO is full when a new character
is received, that character is held in the receive shift
register until a FIFO position is available. If an additional character is received while this state exists, the
contents of the FIFO are not affected, but the character
previously in the shift register is lost and the overrunerror status bit will be set upon receipt of the start bit of
the new overrunning character.
LOCAL LOOPBACK MODE
In this mode, the transmitter output is internally connected to the receiver input. The external TX pin is held
in the mark (high) state in this mode. By sending data
to the transmitter and checking that the data assembled by the receiver is the same data that was sent,
proper channel operation can be assured. In this mode
the CPU-to-transmitter and CPU-to-receiver communications continue normally.
To support flow control, a receiver can automatically
negate and reassert the request-to-send (RTS) output
(RX RTS control - see MR1A, MR1B bit-7). The request-to-send output (at OP0 or OP1 for channel A or
B respectively) will automatically be negated by the
REMOTE LOOPBACK MODE
In this mode, the channel automatically retransmits the
received data on a bit-by-bit basis. The local CPU-toreceiver and CPU-to-transmitter links are disabled.

XR68C92/192
tag). The received character is discarded if the received
address/data bit is a '0' (data tag). If the receiver is
enabled, all received characters are transferred to the
CPU during read operations. In either case, the data
bits are loaded into the data portion of the FIFO stack
while the address/data bit is loaded into the status
portion of the FIFO stack normally used for parity error
(SRA, SRB bit-5). Framing error, overrun error, and
break-detection operate normally regardless of whether
the receiver is enabled or disabled. The address/data
(A/D) tag takes the place of the parity bit and parity is
neither calculated nor checked for characters in this
mode.
This mode is useful in testing the receiver and transmitter operation of a remote channel. This mode requires
the remote channel receiver to be enabled.
MULTIDROP MODE - Enhanced with Extra A/D Tag
Storage
Users can program the channel to operate in a wakeup mode for Multidrop applications. In this mode of
operation (set MR1A, MR1B bits 4:3 = 11), the
XR68C92/192, as a master station channel connected
to several slave stations (a maximum of 256 unique
slave stations), transmits an address character followed by a block of data characters targeted for one or
more of the slave stations. The channel receivers
within the slave stations are disabled, but they continuously monitor the data stream sent out from the master
station. When the slave stations' receivers detect an
address character, each receiver notifies its respective
CPU by setting receiver ready (-RXRDY) and generating an interrupt, if programmed to do so. Each slave
station CPU then compares the received address to its
station address and enables its receiver if the addresses match. Slave stations that are not addressed,
continue monitoring the data stream for the next address character. An address character marks the
beginning of a new block of data. After receiving a block
of data, the slave stations CPU may disable the channel receiver and re-initiate the process.
Extra Storage For The A/D Tag: The unique feature of
XR68C92/192 is that the the user need not wait at all in
order to change the A/D tag from address to data
(whereas in the case of SC26C92, a wait of at least 2
bit-times is required before changing the A/D tag). This
allows the user to possibly load the entire polling packet
data to the TX FIFO.
WATCHDOG TIMER
Each of the two receivers (channel A & B) has its own
'watchdog timer' which is separate from and independent of the Counter/Timer. The watchdog timer is used
to generate a receive ready time-out interrupt. When it
is enabled, a counter is started everytime a character
is transferred from the receive shift register to the
receive FIFO and times out after 64 bit-times, at which
point it will generate a receive interrupt. This is a useful
feature especially when the incoming data is not a
continous stream of data. For example, if RX trigger
levels are used and the last set of characters is smaller
than the trigger level, a receive time-out interrupt is
generated instead of a regular receive interrupt. The
watchdog timer, however, is not accurate as it uses the
incoming data for its timing. For more accurate timing,
the time-out mode in Counter/Timer should be used
(see below).
A transmitted character from the master station consists of a start bit, the programmed number of data bits,
an address/data (A/D) bit tag (replacing the parity bit
used in normal operation), and the programmed number of stop bits. The A/D tag indicates to the slave
stations channel whether the character should be
interpreted as an address character or a data character. The character is interpreted as an address character if the A/D tag is set to a '1' or interpreted as a data
character if it is set to a '0'. The polarity of the transmitted A/D tag is selected by programming MR1A, MR1B
bit-2 to a '1' for an address character and to a '0' for data
characters. Users should program the mode register
prior to loading the corresponding data or address
characters into the transmit buffer.
COUNTER/TIMER
The 16-bit counter/timer (C/T) can operate in a counter
mode or a timer mode. In either mode, users can
program the C/T input clock source to come from
several sources (see ACR bits 6:4) and program the
C/T output to appear on output port pin OP3 (see
OPCR bits 3:2). The value (pre-load value) stored in
the concatenation of the C/T upper register (CTPU,
address 0x6) and the C/T lower register (CTPL, ad-
As a slave station, the XR68C92/192 receiver continuously monitors the received data stream regardless of
whether it is enabled or disabled. If the receiver is
disabled, it sets the receiver ready status bit and loads
the character into the FIFO receive holding register

address 0x6 or CLR, at address 0x7) can be read at a
time. If the counter is running, a decrement of CLR that
requires a borrow from the CUR could take place
between the two register reads. Figure 2 shows the

dress 0x7) can be from 0x0001 through 0xFFFF and can
be changed at any time. At power-up and after reset, the
C/T operates in counter mode.
COUNTER MODE
In counter mode, the CPU can start and stop the C/T.
This mode allows the C/T to function as a system
stopwatch or a real-time single interrupt generator. In
this mode, the C/T counts down from the pre-load
value using the programmed counter clock source.
When a read at the start counter command register
(address 0xE) is performed, the counter is initialized to
the pre-load value and begins a countdown sequence.
When the counter counts from 0x0001 to 0x0000
(terminal count), the C/T-ready bit in the interrupt
status register (ISR Bit-3) is set.
3
Users can program the counter to generate an interrupt request for this condition on the -INT output by
unmasking the bit-3 in the Interrupt Mask Register
(IMR, address 0x5). After 0x0000 the count becomes
0xFFFF, and the counter continues counting down
from there. If the CPU changes the pre-load value, the
counter will not recognize the new value until it receives
the next start counter command (and is reinitialized).
When a read at the stop counter command register
(address 0xF) is performed, the counter stops the
countdown sequence and clears ISR Bit-3. The count
value should only be read while the counter is stopped
because only one of the count registers (either CUR, at
In addition to the watch dog timer described above, the
C/T can be used for receive timeout function (see
description under CRA, CRB in the registers section
also). The C/T is more accurate and the timeout period
is programmable unlike the watchdog timer. However,
only one channel can use the C/T for receive timeout
at any given time. The C/T timeout mode uses the
received data stream to start the counter. Each time a
character is shifted from the receive shift register to the
receive FIFO, the C/T is reloaded with the programmed value in CTPU and CTPL and it restarts on
the next C/T clock. If a new character is not received
before the C/T reaches terminal count (= 0x0000), a
counter ready interrupt (ISR bit-3) is generated. The
user can appropriately program the CTPU and CTPL
for the desired timeout period. Typically this is slightly
more than one character time. Note that if C/T is used
for receiver timeout, a counter ready interrupt is generated whereas if the watchdog timer is used, a receiver
ready interrupt is generated.
TIMER MODE
In the timer mode, the C/T runs continuously once the
start command is issued (by reading the start C/T

command register) and the CPU cannot stop it. When
the stop command is issued (by reading the stop C/T
command register), the CPU only resets the C/T interrupt. This mode allows the C/T to be used as a
programmable clock source for channels A and B (see
CSRA, CSRB register), and/or a periodic interrupt
generator. In this mode, the C/T generates a squarewave output (see Figure 2) derived from the programmed timer input clock source. The square wave
generated by the timer has a period of 2 X (pre-load
value) X (period of clock source) and is available as a
clock source for both channels A and B. Since the timer
cannot be stopped, the values in the registers
(CUR:CLR) should not be read. See description of
ACR register to see how to choose clock source for the
C/T.
ample, changing the number of bits per character while
the transmitter is active will result in transmitting an
incorrect character. The contents of the clock-select
register (CSR) and ACR Bit-7 should only be changed
after the receiver(s) and transmitter(s) have been
issued software RX and TX reset commands. Similarly, changes to the auxiliary control register (ACR Bits
4-6) should only be made while the counter/timer (C/T)
is not used.
The mode registers of each channel MR0, MR1 and
MR2 are accessed via an auxiliary pointer. The pointer
is set to mode register one (MR1) by RESET. It can be
set to MR0 or MR1 by issuing a “reset pointer”
command (0xB0 or 0x10 respectively) via the
channel's command register. Any read or write of the
mode register switches the pointer to next mode register. All accesses subsequent to reading/writing MR1
will address MR2 unless the pointer is reset to MR0 or
MR1 as described above. The mode, command,
clock-select, and status registers are duplicated for
each channel to allow independent operation and
control (except that both channels are restricted to
baud rates that are in the same set).
When the start counter command register (STCR,
address 0xE) is read, the C/T terminates the current
countdown sequence and sets its output to a '1' (OP3
can be programmed to show this output). The C/T is
then initialized to the pre-load value, and begins a new
countdown sequence. When the terminal count is
reached (0x0000), the C/T sets its output to a '0'. Then,
it gets re-initialized to the pre-load value and repeats
the countdown sequence. See Figure 2 for the resulting waveform.
The timer sets the C/T-ready bit in the interrupt status
register (ISR Bit-3) every other time it reaches the
terminal count (at every rising edge of the output).
Users can program the timer to generate an interrupt
request for this condition (every second countdown
cycle) on the -INT output. If the CPU changes the preload value, the timer will not recognize the new value
until either
(a) it reaches the next terminal count and is reinitialized
automatically, or
(b) it is forced to re-initialize by a start command.
When a read at the stop counter command address is
performed, the timer clears ISR Bit-3 but does not stop.
Because in timer mode the C/T runs continuously, it
should be completely configured (pre-load value
loaded and start counter command issued) before
programming the timer output to appear on OP3.

changed during receiver/transmitter operation as certain changes can produce undesired results. For ex-

The output OP0 (OP1) serves as the -RTS signal for
channel A (channel B). Note that MR2 A/B bit-5 also
controls OP0 (OP1). Only one of MR1 bit-7 or MR2 bit5 should be set to '1'.
MODE REGISTER 2 (MR2A, MR2B)
This register is accessed after any read or write
operation to MR1A (or MR1B) register is performed.
Any read or write to MR2A (or MR2B) does not change
the mode register pointer. User should use one of the

two reset MR pointer command (see Command
Register) to reset the pointer to MR0 or MR1.
SRA, SRB Bit-3: Transmit Empty.
This bit will be set when the channel's transmitter is
empty. It indicates that both the transmit FIFO and the
transmit shift register are empty. It is set after transmission of the last stop bit of the last character in the TX
FIFO. It is cleared when the CPU loads a character into
the transmit FIFO or when the transmitter is disabled.
MR2A, MR2B Bits 3-0: Stop bit length.
0000 = 0.563 (default)
1000 = 1.563
0001 = 0.625

0110 = 0.938
1110 = 1.938
0111 = 1.000
1111 = 2.000
SRA, SRB Bit-4: Overrun Error.
This bit is set when one or more characters in the
received data stream have been lost. It is set on receipt
of a valid start bit when the FIFO is full and a character
is already in the receive shift register waiting for an
empty FIFO position. When this occurs, the character
in the receive shift register (and its break detect, parity
error, and framing error status, if any) is overwritten. A
reset error status command clears this bit.
MR2A, MR2B Bit-4: Auto CTS Flow control.
0 = No Auto CTS flow control (default)
1 = Auto CTS flow control enabled
MR2A, MR2B Bit-5: Auto Transmit RTS control.
0 = No Auto TX RTS control (default)
1 = Auto Transmit RTS function enabled
The output OP0 (OP1) serves as the -RTS signal for
channel A (channel B). Note that only one of MR1 bit7 or MR2 bit-5 should be set to '1'.
SRA, SRB Bit-5: Parity Error.
This bit is set when the “with parity” or “force parity”
mode is programmed by MR1A (or MR1B) and an
incoming character is received with incorrect parity. In
the Multidrop mode, the parity error bit position stores
the received address/data tag. This bit is valid only
when the RxRDY bit is set (SRA, SRB bit-0 = 1).
MR2A, MR2B Bit 7-6: Loopback mode select.
0 0 = No loopback (default)
0 1 = Automatic Echo
1 0 = Local Loopback
1 1 = Remote Loopback
SRA, SRB Bit-6: Framing Error.
This bit is set when a stop bit was not detected when the
corresponding data character in the FIFO was received. The stop bit check is made in the middle of the
first stop bit position. At least one bit in the received
character (data or parity) must have been a “1” to signal
a framing error. After a framing error, the receiver does
not wait for the line to return to the marking state (high).
If the line remains low for 1/2 a bit time after the stop bit
sample (that is, the nominal end of the first stop bit), the
receiver treats it as the beginning of a new start bit.This
bit is valid only when the RxRDY bit is set (SRA, SRB
Bit-0 = 1).
STATUS REGISTER (SRA, SRB)
SRA, SRB Bit-0: Receive Ready.
This bit indicates that one or more character(s) has
been received and is waiting in the FIFO for the CPU
to read them. It is set when the first character is
transferred from the receive shift register to the empty
FIFO, and cleared when the CPU reads the receiver
buffer and there are no more characters in the FIFO
after the read.
SRA, SRB Bit-1: Receive FIFO Full.
This bit is set when a character is transferred from the
receive shift register to the receiver FIFO and the
transfer fills the FIFO. All eight (or 16 in XR88C192)
FIFO locations are occupied. It is cleared when the
CPU reads the receiver buffer, unless another character is in the receive shift register waiting for an empty
FIFO location.
SRA, SRB Bit-7: Received Break.
This bit indicates a character with all data bits being
zero has been received without a stop bit. This bit is
valid only when the RxRDY bit is set (SRA, SRB Bit-0
= 1). Only a single FIFO position is occupied when a
break is received; for longer break signals, additional
entries to the FIFO are inhibited until the channel A/B
receiver serial data input line returns to the marking
state. The break-detect circuitry can detect a break
that starts in the middle of a received character
however, the break condition must persist completely
through the end of the current character and the next
character time to be recognized as a break signal.
SRA, SRB Bit-2: Transmit Ready.
This bit (when set) indicates that the transmit FIFO is
not full. Transmitter ready bit is set when the transmit
FIFO has at least one empty location. This bit is cleared
when the transmit FIFO is full.

0 1 1 0 = Start Break. Forces the transmitter output to
go low and stay low. If transmitter is empty
the start of the break condition will be delayed up to two bit times. If transmitter is
active, all the characters in the FIFO are
transmitted before break signal is sent.
Transmitter must to be enabled for this
command to work.
0 1 1 1 = Stop Break. Transmit output will go high
within two bit times.
1 0 0 0 = Set -RTS output to low (assertion).
1 0 0 1 = Reset -RTS output to high (negation).
1 01 0 = Set Timeout Mode On. The receiver in this
channel will restart the C/T as each receive
character is transferred from the shift register to the receive FIFO. The C/T is placed in
the counter mode, the START/STOP
counter commands are disabled, the
counter is stopped, and the Counter Ready
Bit, ISR Bit-3 is reset. (See also Watchdog
timer description)
1 0 1 1 = Set MR pointer to MR0.
1 1 0 0 = Disable Timeout Mode. This command returns control of the C/T to the regular Start/
Stop counter commands. It does not stop
the counter or clear any pending interrupts.
After disabling the timeout mode, a “Stop
Counter” command should be issued to
force a reset of the ISR Bit-3.
1 1 0 1 = Not used.
1 1 1 0 = Enable Power Down Mode. In this mode, the
DUART oscillator is stopped and all functions requiring this clock are suspended.
The execution of commands other than disable power down mode (1111) requires a
XTAL1. While in the power down mode, do
not issue any commands to the CRA or CRB
except the disable power down mode command. The contents of all registers will be
saved while in this mode. It is recommended
that the transmitter and receiver be disabled
prior to placing the DUART into power down
mode. This command is in CRA only.
1 1 1 1 = Disable Power Down Mode. This command
restarts the oscillator. After invoking this
command, wait for the oscillator to start up
before writing further commands to the CR A/
B. For maximum power reduction all input
pins should be at GND or VCC. This command is in CRA only.
RECEIVE BUFFER (RXA, RXB)
The receive buffer consists of a 8-characters deep FIFO
in XR68C92 and 16-characters deep FIFO in XR68C192.
The received characters are transferred from the shift
register one at a time to the FIFO and are stored there
until read by the CPU or flushed by a reset receiver
command.
TRANSMIT BUFFER (TXA, TXB)
The transmit buffer consists of a 8-characters deep
FIFO in XR68C92 and 16-characters deep FIFO in
XR68C192. Once loaded in the FIFO, the characters
are transferred to the transmit shift register one at a
time and transmitted unless the transmitter is disabled.
INPUT PORT CHANGE REGISTER (IPCR)
This is a read-only register which gives the state and
the change-of-state information of the multi-purpose
inputs IP0, IP1, IP2 and IP3.
IPCR Bits 3-0: Levels of IP3 - IP0.
These show the current state of IP3, IP2, IP1 and IP0
respectively.
0 = Low
1 = High
IPCR Bits 7-4: Transitions of IP3 - IP0.
These indicate if there has been a change of state in
IP3, IP2, IP1 and IP0 respectively. They are cleared
when the register is read by the CPU.
0 = No
1 = Yes
AUXILIARY CONTROL REGISTER (ACR)
ACR Bits 3-0:
This field selects which bits of the input port change
register (IPCR) cause the interrupt status register
(ISR) bit-7 to be set. For example, if bit-0 = 1, then a
change of state in IP0 will set ISR bit-7. If bit-0 and bit2 are both '1', then whenever IP0 or IP2 changes state,
ISR bit-7 will be set.
0 = Disabled (default)
1 = Enabled
ACR Bits 6-4:
Counter/Timer Mode and Clock Source. These bits
should not be altered while the C/T is in use. Prior to
changing these bits, the C/T must be stopped if in
counter mode. If the C/T is in timer mode, its output
Rev. 1.33

XR68C92/192
must be disabled and its interrupt must be masked. The
following table shows how to select the clock source for
the C/T when used in counter mode or timer mode:
ISR Bit-1: Receive ready A .
This bit is set when channel A's receive buffer (FIFO) is
filled above the programmed receive trigger level condition (see MR0A bit-6 and MR1A bit-6). For example, if
a RX trigger level of '6' is chosen, this bit will be set
whenever the RX FIFO contains six or more bytes. This
bit can be cleared by reading the data out of the FIFO
till it falls below the trigger level.
ACR Bit-7: Baud rate table Select.
This bit is used to select between two sets of baud rate
tables. See Baudrate table on Page 18. It should be
changed only after both channels have been reset and
disabled.

when the CPU issues a channel A reset break change
interrupt command (CRA bits 7-4 = 0x5).
Clock Source
ISR Bit-3: Counter/Timer (C/T) ready.
In counter mode, this bit is set when the C/T reaches
terminal count. In timer mode, this bit is set each time
the C/T output switches from low to high (rising edge see Figure 2). In either mode, this bit is cleared by a
stop counter command.

ISR Bit-4: Transmit ready B.
This bit is set when channel B's transmit buffer (FIFO)
is filled below the programmed transmit trigger level
(see MR0B bits 5-4). For example, if a TX trigger level
of '4' is chosen, this bit will be set whenever the TX
FIFO has four or more empty locations. This bit can be
cleared by loading the TX FIFO above the trigger level.
ISR Bit-5: Receive ready B.
This bit is set when channel B's receive buffer (FIFO)
is filled above the programmed receive trigger level
condition (see MR0B bit-6 and MR1B bit-6). For example, if a RX trigger level of '6' is chosen, this bit will
be set whenever the RX FIFO contains six or more
bytes. This bit can be cleared by reading the data out
of the FIFO till it falls below the trigger level.
INTERRUPT STATUS REGISTER (ISR)
This register provides the status of all potential interrupt
sources. The contents of this register are logically
“AND”-ed with the contents of the interrupt mask
register, and the results are “OR”-ed. The resulting
signal is inverted to produce the -INT output. All active
interrupt sources are visible by reading the ISR, regardless of the contents of the interrupt mask register.
Reading the ISR has no effect on any interrupt source.
Each active interrupt source must be cleared in a
source-specific fashion to clear the ISR. All interrupt
sources are cleared when the XR68C92/192 is reset.4
ISR Bit-6. Channel B change in break.
This bit is set when channel B receiver detects the
beginning or the end of a break condition. It is reset
when the CPU issues a channel B reset break change
interrupt command (CRB bits 7-4 = 0x5).
ISR Bit-7. Input port change status.
This bit is set when a change of state has occurred at
the IP0, IP1, IP2, or IP3 inputs, and that event has been
enabled to cause an interrupt by programming ACR
Bits 3-0. This bit is cleared when the CPU reads the
input port change register.
ISR Bit-0: Transmit ready A.
This bit is set when channel A's transmit buffer (FIFO)
is filled below the programmed transmit trigger level
(see MR0A bits 5-4). For example, if a TX trigger level
of '4' is chosen, this bit will be set whenever the TX
FIFO has four or more empty locations. This bit can be
cleared by loading the TX FIFO above the trigger level.

INTERRUPT MASK REGISTER (IMR)
INPUT PORT REGISTER - Read Only
The current state of the multi-purpose inputs (IP0-IP6)
can be read via this register.
This register selects which bits in the interrupt status
register can cause an interrupt output. If a bit in the
interrupt status register is a “1” and the corresponding
bit in this register is also a “1”, the -INT output will be
asserted. If the corresponding bit in this register is a
zero, the state of the bit in the interrupt status register
has no effect on the -INT output. Note that the interrupt
mask register does not have any effect on the programmable interrupt outputs OP7 through OP3 or the
value read from the interrupt status register.
0 = Interrupt output (-INT) disabled (default)
1 = Enable interrupt output for the event controlled by
the corresponding bit in ISR.
IPR Bit 0-5:
0 = Inputs are in low state.
1 = Inputs are in high state.
IPR Bit 6-7:
Not used and set to “0”.
OUTPUT PORT CONFIGURATION REGISTER
(OPCR) - Write Only
This register selects following options for the multipurpose outputs OP2 to OP7.4Alternate functions of
OP1 and OP0 are controlled by the mode registers, not
the OPCR. MR1A Bit-7 and MR2A Bit-5 control OP0.
MR1B Bit-7 and MR2B Bit-5 control OP1. For more
details on these, see 'Multi-purpose Outputs' on page
8.
COUNTER / TIMER REGISTERS
The Preload value Upper (CTPU) and Lower (CTPL)
registers hold the most-significant byte and the leastsignificant byte, respectively, of the value to be used by
the C/T (in both counter and timer modes). The C/T
Upper (CUR) and Lower Registers (CLR) give the
current value of the C/T, at the time they are read. In the
counter mode, the CUR and CLR should only be read
when the counter is stopped. Upon receiving a start
command after a stop command, the counter starts a
fresh cycle and begins counting down from the original
(preload) value written to CTPU and CTPL. Also
changing the value of these registers does not take
effect till the current cycle is stopped and a subsequent
start command is issued.

In the timer mode, the CUR and CLR registers cannot
be read by the CPU. A stop command will not stop the
timer, but will only clear the counter ready status bit in
ISR (bit-3). Changing the value of the CTPU and CTPL
registers when the timer is running will change the
waveform after the current half-period of the square
wave. For more details, see the Counter/Timer section.
If OP3 is to be used for the timer output (a square wave
of the programmed frequency), program the counter/
timer for timer mode (ACR Bit-6 = 1), initialize the
counter/timer pre-load registers (CTPU and CTPL),
and read the 'Start C/T Command Register' (STCR)
before setting OPCR Bits 3-2 = 01. In the counter
mode, the output remains high until the terminal count
is reached, at which time it goes low. The output
becomes high again when the counter is stopped by a
stop counter command.

PORT
REGISTER
(SOPR) -
Output ports (OP0-OP7), when used as general purpose outputs, can be asserted (set to low) by writing a
“1” to the corresponding bit in this register. Once an
output is asserted, it can be negated only by issuing a
command through the Reset Output Port Register (see
below).
However, note that SOPR and ROPR cannot be used
to assert and negate outputs that are programmed for
alternate functions (see description under OPCR). For
example, if OP0 is programmed to output -RTSA (see
'Configuring Multi-purpose Outputs), it cannot be controlled by SOPR or ROPR. In that case, commands
from the Command Register should be issued to
assert (CRA bits 7:4 = 0x8) and negate (CRA bits 7:4
= 0x9) OP0.
SOPR Bit 0-7:
0 = No change (same state).
1 = Assert the corresponding output (Set it low).

PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES
The following examples show how to initialize the XR68C92/192 for various operating conditions:
A) The first example will initialize channel A of an XR68C92 device for regular RX/TX. The operating parameters
will be 9600 baud, 8 word length, no parity and 1 stop bit.

; reset RX (receiver)

; reset error status
; reset MR pointer to MR0
; use normal baud rate table. Now MR pointer points to MR1
; select word length & parity. Now MR pointer points to MR2
; normal mode (not loopback) & 1 stop bit
; 9600 baud for RX & TX - clock source is XTAL1
; enable RX & TX
; should get a value 0x0C
B) This example will show how to use hardware flow control for both RX (RTS via OP0) and TX (CTS via IP0):

; reset MR pointer to MR1
; select auto RTS control. The -RTS signal is sent via output OP0
; select auto CTS control. The input IP0 serves as the -CTS signal
C) This example will configure clock sources for TX and RX of both channels and C/T. Specifically, XTAL1 will be used
as channel A's TX clock; IP4 as channel A's 16X RX clock; IP5 as channel B's 1X TX clock and XTAL1 as channel
B's RX clock. Also, the C/T will be initialized in the timer mode and IP2 will be used as its clock source. Some
of these will be programmed to appear at the multi-purpose output pins:

; as C/T output (see below)
0xEB
; channel A RX clock source: IP4-16X, TX clock source: XTAL1 (if MR0A
; bits 2 and 0 = 0, the TX baud rate is 9600)
0xBF
; channel B RX clock source: XTAL1 (9600 baud), TX clock source: IP5-1X
; Start the C/T
0x06
; C/T output appears at OP3 and channel A's TX 1X clock (this is XTAL1
; clock divided by 16) at OP2.
D) The next example will show how to configure and run channel B's transmitter in a multi-drop application. Note
that all other relevant parameters should be configured already, like baud rate etc.
