Serial I/O Port
The AT89C51AC3 I/O serial port is compatible with the I/O serial port in the 80C52.
It provides both synchronous and asynchronous communication modes. It operates as a
Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) in three full-duplex modes
(Modes 1, 2 and 3). Asynchronous transmission and reception can occur simultaneously
and at different baud rates
Serial I/O port includes the following enhancements:
⢠Framing error detection
⢠Automatic address recognition

Framing Error Detection
Framing bit error detection is provided for the three asynchronous modes. To enable the
framing bit error detection feature, set SMOD0 bit in PCON register.
Figure 32. Framing Error Block Diagram
When this feature is enabled, the receiver checks each incoming data frame for a valid
stop bit. An invalid stop bit may result from noise on the serial lines or from simultaneous
transmission by two CPUs. If a valid stop bit is not found, the Framing Error bit (FE) in
SCON register bit is set.
The software may examine the FE bit after each reception to check for data errors.
Once set, only software or a reset clears the FE bit. Subsequently received frames with
valid stop bits cannot clear the FE bit. When the FE feature is enabled, RI rises on the
stop bit instead of the last data bit (See Figure 33. and Figure 34.).
