CHAPTER 14 SERIAL INTERFACE UART6

When bit 7 (POWER6) of asynchronous serial interface operation mode register 6 (ASIM6) is set to 1 and bit

6 (TXE6) of ASIM6 is then set to 1, transmission is enabled. Transmission can be started by writing transmit

data to transmit buffer register 6 (TXB6). The start bit, parity bit, and stop bit are automatically appended to

the data.

When transmission is started, the data in TXB6 is transferred to transmit shift register 6 (TXS6). After that,

the transmit data is sequentially output from TXS6 to the T

XD6 pin. When transmission is completed, the

parity and stop bits set by ASIM6 are appended and a transmission completion interrupt request (INTST6) is

generated.

Transmission is stopped until the data to be transmitted next is written to TXB6.

Figure 14-17 shows the timing of the transmission completion interrupt request (INTST6). This interrupt

occurs as soon as the last stop bit has been output.
