Figure 39-23.Timeguard Operations
Table 39-10 indicates the maximum length of a timeguard period that the transmitter can handle in relation to the function
of the Baud Rate.
39.7.3.11 Receiver Time-out
The Receiver Time-out provides support in handling variable-length frames. This feature detects an idle condition on the
RXD line. When a time-out is detected, the bit TIMEOUT in the Channel Status Register (US_CSR) rises and can
generate an interrupt, thus indicating to the driver an end of frame.
The time-out delay period (during which the receiver waits for a new character) is programmed in the TO field of the
Receiver Time-out Register (US_RTOR). If the TO field is programmed to 0, the Receiver Time-out is disabled and no
time-out is detected. The TIMEOUT bit in US_CSR remains to 0. Otherwise, the receiver loads a 16-bit counter with the
value programmed in TO. This counter is decremented at each bit period and reloaded each time a new character is
received. If the counter reaches 0, the TIMEOUT bit in the Status Register rises.
