16.11.7 The SMCx in Transparent Mode
A serial managment controller in Transparent mode is also referred to as the SMCx
Transparent controller. The following is a list of the features that the SMCx Transparent
controller does not support:
An SMCx in Transparent mode has one feature that an SCCx in Transparent mode does
not. The serial management controllers allow a data character length option of 4 to 16 bits,
whereas the SCCs allow 8 or 32 bits, depending on how the RFW bit is set in the GSMR_H
(described in Section 16.9.2 The General SCCx Mode Registers).
16.11.7.1 FEATURES. The following list summarizes the features of a serial management
controller in Transparent mode:
16.11.7.2 SMCx TRANSPARENT CHANNEL TRANSMISSION PROCESS. The SMCx
Transparent transmitter is designed to work with almost no intervention from the core. When
the core enables the SMCx transmitter in transparent mode, it starts transmitting idles. The
serial management controllers immediately poll the first buffer descriptor in the transmit
channel buffer descriptor ring once every character time, depending on the character length
(every 4 to 16 serial clocks). When there is a message to transmit, a serial management
controller fetches the data from memory and starts transmitting the message after
synchronization is achieved.
• Independent transmit and receive clocks, unless it is connected to the TDM channel of
• CRC generation and checking
• Full RTSx, CTSx, and CDx pins. Instead, there is a SMSYN pin for each SMC.
• Ability to transmit data on demand using the transmit on demand register
• Receiver/transmitter in transparent mode while executing another protocol
• 4-, 8-, or 16-bit Sync recognition
• Internal DPLL support
• Flexible data buffers
• Connects to the TDM bus using the time-slot assigner in the serial interface
• Transmits and receives transparently on its own set of pins using a sync pin to
• Programmable 4-16 character length
• Reverse data mode
• Continuous transmission and reception modes
• Four available commands
the serial interface
synchronize the beginning of transmission and reception to an external event
