Technical Specifications  
1.0 INTRODUCTION  
The 80C152 Universal Communications Controller is an 8-bit microcontroller designed for the  
intelligent management of peripheral systems or components. The 80C152 is a derivative of the  
80C51 and retains the same functionality. These enhancements include: a high speed multi-proto-  
col serial communication interface, two channels for DMA transfers, HOLD/HLDA bus control, a  
fifth I/O port, expanded data memory, and expanded program memory.  
In addition to a standard UART, referred to here as Local Serial Channel (LSC), the 80C152 has  
an on-board multi-protocol communication controller called the Global Serial Channel (GSC).  
The GSC interface supports SDLC, CSMA/CD, user definable protocols, and a subset of HDLC  
protocols. The GSC capabilities include: address recognition, collision resolution, CRC genera-  
tion, flag generation, automatic retransmission, and a hardware based acknowledge feature. This  
high speed serial channel is capable of implementing the Data Link Layer and the Physical Link  
Layer as shown in the OSI open systems communication model. This model can be found in the  
document “Reference Model for Open Systems Interconnection Architecture”, ISO/TC97/SC16  
N309.  
The DMA circuitry consists of two 8-bit DMA channels with 16-bit addressability. The control  
signals; Read (RD), Write (WR), hold and hold acknowledge (HOLD/HLDA) are used to access  
external memory. The DMA channels are capable of addressing up to 64K bytes (16 bits). The  
destination or source address can be automatically incremented. The lower 8 bits of the address  
can be automatically incremented. The lower 8 bits of the address are multiplexed on the data bus  
Port 0 and the upper eight bits of address will be on Port 2. Data is transmitted over an 8-bit  
address/data bus. Up to 64k bytes of data may be transmitted for each DMA activation.  
The new I/O port (P4) function the same as Ports 1-3 found on the 80C51.  
Internal memory has been doubled in the 80C152. Data memory has been expanded to 256 bytes,  
and internal program memory has been expanded to 8 bytes.  
There are also some specific differences between the 80C152 and the 80C51. The first difference  
is that RESET is active low in the 80C152 and active high in the 80C51H. The second difference  
is that GF0 and GF1, general purpose flags in PCON, have been renamed GFIEN and XRCLK.  
GFIEN enables idle flags to be generated in SDLC mode, and XRCLK enables the receiver to be  
externally clocked. All of the previously unused bits are now being used and interrupt vectors  
have been added to support the new enhancements.  
Throughout the rest of this manual the 80C152 will be referred to generically as the “C152”. The  
C152 is based on the 80C51 architecture and utilizes the same 80C51 instruction set. There have  
been no new instructions added. All the new features and peripherals are supported by an exten-  
sion of the Special Function Registers (SFRs). A brief information on cpu functions as: the  
instruction set, port operation, timer/counters, etc., is included in this document.

Data Memory, Port 0 always emits the low-order address byte and serves as the  
multiplexed data bus. In these applications it uses strong internal pullups when  
emitting 1s.  
Port 0 also outputs the code bytes during program verification. External pullups  
are required during program verification.  
Port 1  
Port 1 is an 8 -bit bidirectional I/O port with internal pullups. Port 1 pins that have  
1s written to them are pulled high by the internal pullups, and in that state can be

ALE  
Address Latch Enable output signal for latching the low byte of the address during  
accesses to external memory.  
In normal operation ALE is emitted at a constant rate of 1/6 the oscillator fre-  
quency, and may be used for external timing or clocking purposes. Note, however,  
that one ALE pulse is skipped during each access to external Data Memory. While  
in Reset, ALE remains at a constant high level.  
PSEN  
Program Store Enable is the Read strobe to External Program Memory. When the  
8XC152 is executing from external program memory, PSEN is active (low). When  
the device is executing code from External Program Memory, PSEN is activated  
twice each machine cycle, except that two PSEN activations are skipped during  
each access to External Data Memory. While in Reset, PSEN remains at a con-  
stant high level.  
EA  
External Access enable. EA must be externally pulled low in order to enable the  
8XC152 to fetch code from External Program Memory locations 0000H to  
0FFFH.  
EA must be connected to V for internal program execution.  
CC  
EBEN  
E-Bus Enable input that designates whether program memory fetches take place  
via Ports 0 and 2 or ports 5 and 6. Table 2.1 shows how the ports are used in con-  
junction with EBEN.  
EPSEN E-bus program Store Enable is the Read strobe to external program memory when  
EBEN is high. Table 2.1 shows when EPSEN is used relative to PSEN depending  
on the status of EBEN and EA.

2.3 RESET  
The RST pin is the input to a Schmitt Trigger whose output is used to generate the internal system  
reset. In order to obtain a reset, the RST pin must be held low for at least four machine cycles,  
while the oscillator is running. The CPU internal reset timings are shown in the Figure.  
The external reset input RST is sampled on S5P2 in every machine cycle. If the sampled value is  
high, then the processor responds with an internal reset signal at S3P1, two machine cycles after  
the RST being sampled low. This means that there is an internal delay of 19 to 31 clock periods

between the RST pin being pulled low and the internal reset being generated. During this time the  
CPU continues its normal operations.  
The internal reset signal clears the SFRs except the port SFRs which have FFh written into them  
and the Stack Pointer which has 07h written to it. The SBUF is however in an indeterminate state.  
The Program Counter is reset to 0000h. The internal RAM is not affected by the reset and their  
contents remain unchanged. On power up, their contents is indeterminate.

2.4 PORT STRUCTURES AND OPERATION  
The ports are all bidirectional. Each port consists of two sections, the port SFR and the I/O pad.  
The Ports 0 and 2 are involved in accesses to external memory. In this case, Port 0 outputs the  
lower byte of the external memory address while port 2 outputs the higher byte of the external  
address. The Port 0 bus is also used as a data bus for the data byte that is read or is to be written.  
Therefore Port 0 is actually a time-multiplexed address/data bus. A point to note is that Port 2 out-  
puts the upper 8 bits of the address only if the address is 16 bits wide, else it continues to emit the  
Port 2 SFR contents.  
In order that the alternate functions on the port pin are activated correctly, the corresponding bit  
latch must be held at value 1. If this is not done then the corresponding port pin is stuck at 0, and  
external or internal inputs will have no effect on the pin value.  
I/O CONFIGURATIONS  
Each individual port has different I/O pads to accommodate the different functions of each indi-  
vidual port. The figure below shows a simplified diagram of the I/O pads for each port.

Port bit I/O Pads  
As shown in Figure above, Ports 0 and 2 can emit either their respective SFR contents or the  
ADDR/DATA and ADDRESS bus, depending upon the control lines IDNAMX and IDNAHI.  
During external memory accesses, the P2 SFR remains unchanged, but the P0 SFR is preset to  
FFh.  
Ports 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 have internal pullups, while Port 0 has an open drain output.  
Every single I/O line can be individually configured as an input or output. However Ports 0 and 2  
cannot be used as I/O ports since they are used as the ADDRESS/ DATA bus. To use any port pin  
as an input, the corresponding bit latch must contain a 1. This turns off the active pulldown FET.  
Then, for Ports 1, 2 and 3, the pin is pulled high by the internal pullup. The Internal pullup is a  
weak pullup and so the pin can be pulled low by a strong external source.  
Port 0, however has no internal pullups. The active pullup FET is used only when the port pin is  
emitting a 1 during external memory accesses, else the pullup is off. Hence, when the port is used  
as an I/O pin; IDNAMX is 1; the pullup FET is always off. Writing a 1 to the bit latch will turn off  
the active pulldown FET and as a result the port pin will float.  
As port 1, 2 and 3 have internal pullups, they will go high when configured as inputs and will  
source current. Hence they are also known as “quasi-bidirectional” ports. Port 0 on the other hand  
“floats” when configured as an input and hence is called a “true bidirectional” port.

Writing to a Port  
During the execution of an instruction that changes the value of a port SFR, the new value arrives  
at the port latch during S6P2. However, the port latch contents do not appear on the port pins till  
the next P1 phase. Therefore the new port data will appear on the port pins at S1P1 of the next  
machine cycle.  
Read-Modify-Write Feature  
Each port is split into its SFR and its corresponding I/O pad. Therefore there are two options  
available for a port read access. Either the SFR latch contents can be read or the input from the I/  
O pads can be read. The instructions that read the latch, modify the value and write it back to the  
latch are called “read-modify-write” instruction. In such instructions the latch and not the pin is  
read. The instruction of this category are listed as follows

2.5 Ports 4,5 and 6  
Ports 4,5 and 6 operation is identical to Ports 1-3 on the 80C51. Ports 5 and 6 exist only on the  
“JB” and “JD” version of the C152 and can either function as standard I/O ports or can be config-  
ured so that program memory fetches are performed with these two ports. To configure ports 5  
and 6 as standard I/O ports, EBEN is tied to a logic low. When in this configuration, ports 5 and 6  
operation is identical to that of port 4 except they are not bit addressable. To configure ports 5 and  
6 to fetch program memory, EBEN is tied to a logic high. When using ports 5 and 6 to fetch the  
program memory, the signal EPSEN is used to enable the external memory device instead of  
PSEN. Regardless of which ports are used to fetch program memory, all data memory fetches  
occur over ports 0 and 2. The 80C152JB and 80C152JD are available as ROMless devices only.  
ALE is still used to latch the address in all configurations. Table 2.1 summarizes the control sig-  
nals and how the ports may be used.

2.6 ACCESSING EXTERNAL MEMORY  
External Memory is accessed if either of the following two conditions is met  
1) The signal EA is low  
2) Whenever the program counter (PC) contains an address greater than 0FFFh.  
Accesses to external memory are of two type: External Program Memory accesses and External  
Data Memory accesses. External Program Memory is accessed using the PSEN signal as the read  
strobe. External Data Memory is accessed using the RD or WR pins to strobe the memory.  
Fetches from the external Program Memory always use a 16 bit address, while External Data  
Memory accesses can have addresses of 8 bit or 16 bit. Whenever a 16 bit address is used, Port 2  
is used to emit the higher byte of the address. The point to note is that during external accesses,  
port 2 uses strong pullups while emitting 1s. During the time Port 2 does not emit the higher  
address byte, it continuously outputs the Port 2 SFR contents, which are not modified by the hard-  
ware (unless of course the user writes to the Port 2 SFR). If an 8 bit address is being used, then the  
Port 2 SFR contents will be outputed on the port pins throughout the external memory cycle.  
The lower byte of the address is always multiplexed with the data byte on Port 0. The ADDR/  
DATA bus can drive both the active pullup and pulldown FETs. Thus for external memory  
accesses, the port 0 pins are not open-drain outputs and do not need any external pullups. The fall-  
ing edge of the ALE signal can be used to store the address on Ports 0 and 2 in an external address  
latch. During a write cycle, the data to be written to the external Data Memory is present on Port 0  
pins and remains there until after WR is deactivated. In case of a read access, the data on Port 0  
pins is read just before the deactivation of the RD signal.  
During accesses to external memory, the CPU presets the Port 0 SFR to FFh in order to float the  
Port 0 pins. Therefore any data that was present in the SFR latch will be lost. If the user, writes  
any data other than FFh to Port 0 during an external memory cycle, then the incoming code byte  
will be corrupted. Therefore, DO NOT WRITE TO Port 0 if external memory is used.

Technical Specifications  
During External Memory Accesses, both Ports 0 and 2 are used for Address/ Data transfer and  
therefore cannot be used for general I/O purposes. During external program fetches, Port 2 uses  
strong pullups to emit 1s.  
2.7 TIMER/COUNTERS  
This has two 16-bit Timer/Counters, TM0 andTM1. Each of these Timer/Counters has two 8 bit  
registers which form the 16 bit counting register. For Timer/Counter TM0 they are TH0, the upper  
8 bits register and TL0, the lower 8 bit register. Similarly Timer/Counter TM1 has two 8 bit regis-  
ters, TH1 and TL1 and Timer/Counter  
When configured as a “Timer”, the register is incremented once every machine cycle. Since a  
machine cycle consists of 12 clock periods, the timer clock can be thought of as 1/12 of the master  
clock. In the “Counter” mode, the register is incremented on the falling edge of the external input  
pin, T0 in case of TM0, T1 for TM1. The T0, T1 inputs are sampled in every machine cycle at  
S5P2. If the sampled value is high in one machine cycle and low in the next, then a valid high to  
low transition on the pin is recognized and the count register is incremented. Since it takes two  
machine cycles to recognize a negative transition on the pin, the maximum rate at which counting  
will take place is 1/24 of the master clock frequency. In either the “Timer” or “Counter” mode, the  
count register will be updated in S3P1. Therefore, in the “Timer” mode, the recognized negative  
transition on pin T0 and T1 can cause the count register value to be updated only in the machine  
cycle following the one in which the negative edge was detected.

TCON: Timer/Counter Control Register.  
The “Timer” or “Counter” function is selected by the “C/T” bit in the TMOD Special Function  
Register. Each Timer/Counter has one selection bit for its own; bit 2 of TMOD selects the func-  
tion for Timer/Counter 0 and bit 6 of TMOD selects the function for Timer/Counter 1. In addition  
each Timer/Counter can be set to operate in any one of four possible modes. The mode selection  
is done by bits M0 and M1 in the TMOD SFR. Modes 0, 1 and 2 are identical for both the Timer/  
Counters, but Mode 3 is different. The four modes of operation are described below.  
MODE 0  
In Mode 0, the timer/counters act as a 8 bit counter with a 5 bit, divide by 32 prescaler. In this  
mode we have a 13 bit timer/counter. The 13 bit counter consists of 8 bits of THx and 5 lower bits  
of TLx. The upper 3 bits of TLx are ignored.  
The negative edge of the clock increments the count in the TLx register. When the fifth bit in TLx  
moves from 1 to 0, then the count in the THx register is incremented. When the count in THx  
moves from FFh to 00h, then the overflow flag TFx in TCON SFR is set.  
The counted input is enabled only if TRx is set and either GATE = 0 or INTx = 1.

MODE 2  
In Mode 2, the timer/counter is in the Auto Reload Mode. In this mode, TLx acts as a 8 bit count  
register, while THx holds the reload value. When the TLx register overflows from FFh to 00h, the  
TFx bit in TCON is set and TLx is reloaded with the contents of THx and the counting process  
continues from here. The reload operation leaves the contents of the THx register unchanged  
MODE 3  
Mode 3 has different operating methods for the two timer/counters. For timer/counter TM1, mode  
3 simply freezes the counter. This is the same as setting TR1 to 0.  
Timer/Counter TM0 however configures TL0 and TH0 as two separate 8 bit count registers in this  
mode. The logic for this mode is shown in the figure. TL0 uses the Timer/Counter TM0 control  
bits C/T, GATE, TR0, INT0 and TF0. TH0 is forced as a machine cycle counter and takes over the  
use of TR1 and TF1 from Timer/Counter TM1.

case of level triggered interrupt, the IE0 and IE1 flags are not cleared and will have to be cleared  
by the software. This is because in the level activated mode, it is the external requesting source  
that controls the interrupt flag bit rather than the on-chip hardware.  
The Timer 0 and 1 Interrupts are generated by the TF0 and TF1 flags. These flags are set by the  
overflow in the Timer 0 and Timer 1. The TF0 and TF1 flags are automatically cleared by the  
hardware when the timer interrupt is serviced.  
The Timer 0 and 1 flags are set in S5P2 of the machine cycle in which the overflow occurs. The  
values are polled in the next cycle.  
The Local Serial block can generated interrupts on reception or transmission. There is however  
only one interrupt source from the Local Serial block, which is obtained by oring the RI and TI  
bits in the SCON SFR. These bits are not automatically cleared by the hardware and the user will  
have to clear these bits using software.  
All the bits that generate interrupts can be set or reset by hardware and thereby software initiated  
interrupts can be generated. Each of the individual interrupts can be enabled or disabled by setting  
or clearing a bit in the IE SFR. IE also has a global enable/disable bit EA, which can be cleared to  
disable all the interrupts at once.  
Priority Level Structure  
There are two priority levels for the interrupts. Each interrupt source can be individually set to  
either one of the two levels. Naturally, a higher priority interrupt cannot be interrupted by a lower  
priority interrupt. However there exists a predefined hierarchy amongst the interrupts themselves.  
This hierarchy comes into play when the interrupt controller has to resolve simultaneous requests  
having the same priority level. This hierarchy is defined as shown below, the interrupts are num-  
bered starting from the highest priority to the lowest.

Technical Specifications  
The interrupt flags are sampled in S5P2 of every machine cycle. In the next machine cycle, the  
sampled interrupts are polled and their priority is resolved. If certain conditions are met then the  
hardware will execute an internally generated LCALL instruction which will vector the process to  
the appropriate interrupt vector address. The conditions for generating the LCALL are  
1. An interrupt of equal or higher priority is not currently being serviced.  
2. The current polling cycle is the last machine cycle of the instruction currently being executed.  
3. The current instruction does not involve a write to IP or IE registers and is not a RETI.  
If any of these conditions are not met, then the LCALL will not be generated. The polling cycle is  
repeated every machine cycle, with the interrupts sampled at S5P2 in the previous machine cycle.  
If an interrupt flag is active in one cycle but not responded to, and is not active when the above  
conditions are met, the denied interrupt will not be serviced. This means that active interrupts are  
not remembered, every polling cycle is new.  
The processor responds to a valid interrupts by executing an LCALL instruction to the appropriate  
service routine. This may or may not clear the flag which caused the interrupt. In case of Timer  
interrupts, the TF0 or TF1 flags, are cleared by hardware whenever the processor vectors to the  
appropriate timer service routine. In case of External interrupt, INT0 and INT1, the flags are  
cleared only if they are edge triggered. In case of Local Serial interrupts, the flags are not cleared  
by hardware. The hardware LCALL behaves exactly like the software LCALL instruction. This  
instruction saves the Program Counter contents onto the Stack, but does not save the Program Sta-  
tus Word PSW. The PC is reloaded with the vector address of that interrupt which caused the  
LCALL. These vector address for the different sources are as follows

Execution continues from the vectored address till an RETI instruction is executed. On execution  
of the RETI instruction the processor pops the Stack and loads the PC with the contents at the top  
of the stack. The user must take care that the status of the stack is restored to what is was after the  
hardware LCALL, if the execution is to return to the interrupted program. The processor does not  
notice anything if the stack contents are modified and will proceed with execution from the  
address put back into PC. Note that a RET instruction would do exactly the same process as a  
RETI instruction, but it would not inform the Interrupt Controller, that the interrupt service rou-  
tine is completed, an would leave the controller still thinking that the service routine is under  
progress.  
External Interrupts  
There are two external interrupt sources in this processor, INT0 and INT1. These interrupts can be  
programmed to be edge triggered or level activated, by setting bits IT0 and IT1 in TCON SFR. In  
the edge triggered mode, the INTx inputs are sampled at S5P2 in every machine cycle. If the sam-  
ple is high in one cycle and low in the next, then a high to low transition is detected and the inter-  
rupts request flag IEx in TCON is set. The flag bit the requests the interrupt.Since the external  
interrupts are sampled every machine cycle, they have to be held high or low for at least on com-  
plete machine cycle. The IEx flag is automatically cleared when the service routine is called.  
If the level activated mode is selected, then the requesting source has to hold the pin low till the  
interrupt is serviced. The IEx flag will not be cleared by the hardware on entering the service rou-  
tine. If the interrupt continues to be held low even after the service routine is completed, then the  
processor may acknowledge another interrupt request from the same source.  
Response Time  
The response time for each interrupt source depends on several factors like nature of the interrupt  
and the instruction under progress. In the case of external interrupt INT0 and INT1, they are sam-  
pled at S5P2 of every machine cycle and then their corresponding interrupt flags IE0 and IE1 will  
be set or reset. Similarly, the Local Serial port flags RI and TI are set in S5P2. The Timer 0 and 1  
overflow flags are set during S3 of the machine cycle in which overflow has occurred. These flag

Technical Specifications  
values are polled only in the next machine cycle. If a request is active and all three conditions are  
met, then the hardware generated LCALL is executed. This call itself takes two machine cycles to  
be completed. Thus there is a minimum time of three machine cycles between the interrupt flag  
being set and the interrupt service routine being executed.  
A longer response time should be anticipated if any of the three conditions are not met. If a higher  
or equal priority is being serviced, then the interrupt latency time obviously depends on the nature  
of the service routine currently being executed. If the polling cycle is not the last machine cycle of  
the instruction being executed, then an additional delay is introduced. This is maximum in the  
case of MUL and DIV instructions which are four machine cycles long. In case of a RETI or a  
write to IP or IE registers the delay can be at most 5 machine cycles. This is because at most one  
cycle is needed to complete the current instruction and at most 4 machine cycles to execute the  
next instruction, which may be a MUL or DIV instruction.  
Thus in a single-interrupt system the interrupt response time will always be more than 3 machine  
cycles and not more than 8 machine cycles.

2.9 Power Down and Idle  
The processor has two Power Reduction modes, Idle and Power Down. Backup power is supplied  
through the VCC pin in these operations. The processor can be put into the Idle or the Power  
down mode by setting bits 0 or bit 1 respectively in the PCON SFR.  
Any instruction sets the PD bit in PCON SFR, causes that instruction to be the last instruction  
executed by the processor before going into the Power Down mode. In the Power Down mode, the  
clock to the CPU and the peripheral blocks like Interrupt Controller, Serial Port, dma and Timer/  
Counters is stopped. This causes the complete processor to stop its current activities. The status of  
all the registers in the CPU, the ALU, the Program Counter, the Stack Pointer, the Program status  
Word and the Accumulator are held at their current states. The port pins hold the value they had at  
the time Idle was activated. ALE and PSEN are both held at logic low levels.  
There are two ways to exit from the Power Down mode. One is a hardware reset. reset and the  
other an external interrupt. The hardware reset redefines all the SFRs but the on-chip RAM is  
unaffected.  
With an external interrupt, INT0 or INT1 must be enabled and configures as level triggered inter-  
rupts before entering the power down mode. Holding the pin low ends the power down mode con-  
dition and bringing the pin high completes the exit. After the interrupt service routine is executed  
the program will return to the next instruction following the one that put the device into Power  
Down Mode.

Any instruction which sets the IDL bit in PCON SFR, causes that instruction to be the last instruc-  
tion executed by the processor before going into the idle mode. In the Idle mode, the clock to the  
CPU is shut off while the peripheral blocks like Interrupt Controller, Serial Ports, dma and Timer/  
Counters continue to receive the clock. This causes the CPU to stop its current activities. The sta-  
tus of all the registers in the CPU, the ALU, the Program Counter, the Stack Pointer, the Program  
status Word and the Accumulator are held at their current states. The port pins hold the value they  
had at the time Idle was activated. ALE and PSEN are both held at logic high levels.

PCON: Power Control Register.  
There are two ways to terminate the Idle mode. One way is to reset the processor and the other is  
by activation of any enabled interrupt. On receiving an interrupt, the processor will vector to the  
interrupt service routine and will start execution from here. After completion of the service rou-  
tine, following the execution of RETI, the execution will continue from the instruction following  
the one which put the processor into the Idle mode.  
The signal at the RST pin is used to clear the IDL bit. The RST pin has to be held low for at least  
24 clock periods to generate an internal reset. The clearing of IDL bit is done synchronously, so  
that the CPU will restart from the same state phase condition that it went into Idle. This ensures  
smooth transition from Idle mode to normal operation. Now the reset logic takes 19 clock periods  
to activate the internal reset from the time where RST was sampled low. For this time the proces-  
sor will continue operations carrying on from the next instruction which put the processor in the  
Idle mode. On-chip hardware prevents any writes to RAM during this period. but accesses to ports  
is not inhibited. To prevent unexpected outputs at the port pins, the instruction after the one which  
causes the Idle mode should not be an assess to the ports or External RAM.  
The GSC continues to operate in Idle as long as the interrupts are enabled. The interrupts need to  
be enabled, so that the CPU can service the FIFO’s. In order to properly terminate a reception or  
transmission the C152 must not be in idle when the EOF is transmitted or received. After servic-  
ing the GSC, user software will need to again invoke the Idle command as the CPU does not auto-  
matically re-enter the Idle mode after servicing the interrupts.  
The GSC does not operate while in Power Down so the steps required prior to entering Power  
Down become more complicated. The sequence when entering Power Down and the status of the  
I/O is of major importance in preventing damage to the C152 or other components in the system.  
since the only way to exit Power Down is with a Reset, several problems that merit careful consid-  
eration are cases where the Power Down occurs during the middle of a transmission, and the pos-  
sibility that other stations are not or cannot enter this same mode. The state of the GSC I/O pins  
becomes critical and the GSC status will need to be saved before power down is entered. There  
will also need to be some method of identifying to the CPU that the following Reset is probably  
not a cold start and that other stations on the link may have already been initialized.

The DMA circuitry stops operation in both Idle and power Down modes. Since operation is  
stopped in both modes, the process should be similar in each case. Specific steps that need to be  
taken include: notification to other devices that DMA operation is about to cease for a particular  
station or network, proper withdrawal from DMA operation, and saving the status of the DMA  
channels. Again, the status of the I/O pins during Power Down needs careful consideration to  
avoid damage to the C152 or other components.  
Port 4 returns to its input state, which is high level using weak pullup devices.  
2.10 Local Serial Channel  
Local Serial port is a full duplex port. This means that it can simultaneously transmit and receive  
data. In addition, the receive register is double buffered. This allows reception of the second data  
byte before the first byte is read from the receive register. The transmit register and the receive  
buffer are both addressed as SBUF Special Function Register. However any write to SBUF will be  
to the transmit register, while a read from SBUF will be from the receive buffer register.  
The serial port can operate in four different modes.  
MODE 0  
This mode provides the synchronous communication with external devices. In mode 0, serial data  
is transmitted and received on the RXD line. TXD is used to transmit the shift clock. This mode is  
therefore a half duplex mode of serial communication. 8 bits are transmitted or received per  
frame. The LSB is transmitted/received first. The baud rate is fixed at 1/12 of the oscillator fre-  
quency.  
Mode 0 is used to transmit data synchronously, in a half duplex format. The functional block dia-  
gram is shown below. Data enters and leaves the Serial port on the RxD line. The Txd line is used  
to output the shift clock. The shift clock is used to shift data into and out of the TBO and the  
device at the other end of the line.  
Any instruction that causes a write to SBUF will start the transmission. The shift clock will get  
activated and data will be shifted out on RxD pin til all 8 bits are transmitted. The clock on TxD  
then remains low for 6 clock periods and then goes high again. This ensures that at the receiving  
end the data on RxD line can be clocked in either on the rising edge of the shift clock on TxD or  
latched when the TxD clock is low. The TI flag is set high in S1 following the end of transmission  
of the last bit.  
The Serial port will receive data when REN is 1 and RI is zero. The shift clock (TxD) will be acti  
vated and the serial port will latch data sampled at S5P2 at the rising edge of shift clock. The  
external device should therefore present data on the falling edge on the shift clock. This process  
continues till all the 8 bits have been received. The RI flag is set in S1 following the last rising  
edge of the shift clock on TxD. This will stop reception, till the RI is cleared by software.

MODE 1  
In Mode 1, the full duplex mode is used. Serial communication frames are made up of 10 bits  
transmitted on TXD and received on RXD. The 10 bits consist of a start bit (0), 8 data bits (LSB  
first), and a stop bit (1). On receive, the stop bit goes into RB8 in the SFR SCON. The baud rate in  
this mode is variable.In this mode 10 bits are transmitted (on TxD) or received (on RxD). The  
frame consists of a start bit (0), 8 data bits (LSB first), and a stop bit (1). On reception, the stop bit  
is placed into RB8. Tthe baud rate is determined by the Timer 1 or timer 2 overflow rate, and so it  
can be controlled by the user.  
The figure below gives the simplified functional block for Mode 1.  
Transmission begins with a write to SBUF. The serial data is brought out on to TxD pin following  
the first roll-over of divide by 16 counter. The next bit is placed on TxD pin following the next  
rollover of the divide by 16 counter. Thus the transmission is synchronized to the divide by 16  
counter and not directly to the write to SBUF signal. After all 8 bits of data are transmitted, the  
stop bit is transmitted. The TI flag is set in the S1 state after the stop bit has been put out on TxD  
pin. This will be at the 10th rollover of the divide by 16 counter after a write to SBUF.

Serial Port Mode 1  
Reception is enabled only if REN is high. The serial port actually starts the receiving of serial  
data, with the detection of a falling edge on the RxD pin. The 1-to-0 detector continuously moni-  
tors the RxD line sampling it at the rate of 16 times the selected baud rate. When a falling edge is  
detected, the divide by 16 counter is immediately reset. This helps to align the bit boundaries with  
the rollovers of the divide by 16 counter.  
The 16 states of the counter effectively divide the bit time into 16 slices. The bit detection is done  
on a best of three basis. The bit detector samples the RxD pin, at the 8th, 9th and 10th counter  
states. By using a majority 2 of 3 voting system, the bit value is selected. This is done to improve  
the noise rejection feature of the serial port. If the first bit detected after the falling edge of RxD  
pin, is not 0, then it indicates an invalid start bit, and the reception is immediately aborted. the  
serial port again looks for a falling edge in the RxD line. If a valid start bit is detected, then the  
rest of the bits are also detected and shifted into the SBUF.  
After shifting in 8 data bits, there is one more shift to do, after which the SBUF and RB8 are  
loaded and RI is set. However certain conditions must be met before, The loading and setting of  
RI can be done.  
1. RI must be 0 and  
2. Either SM2 = 0, or the received stop bit = 1.

If these conditions are met, then the stop bit goes to RB8, the 8 data bits go into SBUF and RI is  
set. Else the received frame may be lost. After the middle of the stop bit, the receiver goes back to  
looking for a 1-to-0 transition on the RxD pin.  
MODE 2  
In this mode, 11 bits are transmitted on TXD and received on RXD. The 11 bits consist of a start  
bit (0), 8 data bits (LSB first), a programmable 9th data bit (TB8 in SCON) and a stop bit (1). The  
9th bit can be assigned 1 or 0 by writing to bit 3 of SCON. On transmission, this bit will be  
inserted into the data stream. On reception the received 9th bit goes into RB8 in SCON. The stop  
bit is ignored. The baud rate is programmable to 1/32 or 1/64 of the oscillator frequency.  
Transmission begins with a write to SBUF. The serial data is brought out on to TxD pin following  
the first roll-over of divide by 16 counter. The next bit is placed on TxD pin following the next  
rollover of the divide by 16 counter. Thus the transmission is synchronized to the divide by 16  
counter and not directly to the write to SBUF signal. After all 8 bits of data are transmitted, the  
stop bit is transmitted. The TI flag is set in the S1 state after the stop bit has been put out on TxD  
pin. This will be at the 11th rollover of the divide by 16 counter after a write to SBUF.  
Reception is enabled only if REN is high. The local serial port actually starts the receiving of local  
serial data, with the detection of a falling edge on the RxD pin. The 1-to-0 detector continuously  
monitors the RxD line sampling it at the rate of 16 times the selected baud rate. When a falling  
edge is detected, the divide by 16 counter is immediately reset. This helps to align the bit bound-

This mode is similar to Mode 2 in all respects, except that the baud rate is programmable.  
In all four modes, transmission is started by any instruction that uses SBUF as a destination regis-  
ter. Reception is initiated in Mode 0 by the condition RI = 0 and REN = 1. Reception is initiated in  
the other modes by the incoming start bit if REN = 1.

Baud Rates  
In Mode 0 the baud rate is fixed at 1/12 of the oscillator frequency.  
In Mode 2 the baud rate depends on the value of bit SMOD in PCON SFR. If SMOD is 0 then the  
baud rate is 1/64 of the oscillator frequency. If the bit is set to 1, then the baud rate is 1/32 of the  
oscillator frequency.  
Mode 2 Baud Rate = 2  
( SMOD - 6 )  
X Oscillator Frequency  
The baud rates in Mode 1 and 3 are determined by the overflow rates of Timer 1.  
Using Timer 1 to generate baud rates.  
When Timer 1 is used as a baud rate generator, the baud rates in Modes 1 and 3 are determined by  
the Timer 1 overflow rate and the value of SMOD.  
( SMOD - 5 )  
Modes 1 and 3 baud rate = 2  
X Timer 1 overflow rate  
The Timer 1 interrupt should be disabled in this mode. The timer itself can be configured as either  
“timer” or “counter”, in any of its 3 operating modes. Commonly, Timer 1 is configured as a timer

X Oscillator Frequency / (12 x [256 - TH1])  
It is also possible to achieve very low baud rates by putting Timer 1 in Mode1 as a 16 bit timer and  
enabling its interrupt. The Timer interrupt is used to reload the Timer 1 with a 16 bit value using  
software methods. A list of commonly used baud rates and how they can be achieved is shown in

2.11 SINGLE-STEP OPERATION  
The processor does not have any pin which can directly force it to operate in the single-step mode.  
However the user can use the interrupt structure to obtain single-step operation. The user will be  
aware that the processor executes one more instruction after a RETI instruction and only then  
does it respond to an interrupt request. Thus once an interrupt routine has begun, it cannot enter  
another routine unless one instruction of the interrupted program has been executed. The external  
interrupts can be used to good effect to achieve this. One of the interrupts, say INT0 is pro-  
grammed to be level activated interrupt. Now when the processor detects a low on this pin, it will  
vector to the interrupt service routine. The interrupt service routine will have a simple loop which  
will wait till the INT0 pin is pulsed, high to low. The processor will now return to the interrupted  
program and execute at least one instruction. If the INT0 pin is held low, then another interrupt  
request is generated and the interrupt service routine is again executed.

; wait here till INT0 goes high  
JB  
P3.2, $  
; wait here till INT0 goes low  
RETI  
; return to the interrupted program and execute at least one more  
; instruction  
In this way a single instruction of the main program will be executed every time INT0 is pulsed.

3.0 GLOBAL SERIAL CHANNEL  
3.1 Introduction  
The Global Serial Channel (GSC) is a multi-protocol, high performance serial interface targeted  
for data rates up to 2 MBPS with on-chip clock recovery, and 2.4 MBPS using the external clock  
options. in applications using the serial channel, the GSC implements the Data Link Layer and  
Physical Link Layer as described in the ISO reference model for open systems interconnection.  
The GSC is designed to meet the requirements of a wide range of serial communications applica-  
tions and is optimized to implement Carrier-Sense Multi-Access with Collision Detection  
(CSMA/CD) and Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) protocols. The GSC architecture is  
also designed to provide flexibility in defining non-standard protocols. This provides the ability to  
retrofit new products into older serial technologies, as well as the development of proprietary  
interconnect schemes for serial backplane environments.  
The versatility of the GSC is demonstrated by the wide range of choices available to the user. The  
various modes of operation are summarized in Table 3.1. In subsequent sections, each available  
choice of operation will be explained in detail.  
In using Table 3.1, the parameters listed vertically (on the left hand side) represent an option that  
is selected (X). The parameters listed horizontally (along the top of the table) are all the parame-  
ters that could theoretically be selected (Y). The Symbol at the junction of both X and Y deter-  
mines the applicability of the option Y.  
Note, that not all combinations are backwards compatible. for example, Manchester encoding  
requires half duplex, but half duplex does not require Manchester encoding.

Note 1: Programmable in Raw transmit or receive mode.  
Almost all the options available from Table can be implemented with the proper software to per-  
form the functions that are necessary for the options selected. In Table 3.1, a judgment has been  
made by the authors on which options are practical and which are not. What this means is that in  
table , an “N” should be interpreted as meaning that the option is either not practical when imple-  
mented with user software or that it cannot be done. An “O” is used when that function is one of  
several that can be implement with the GSC without additional user software.  
The GSC is targeted to operate at bit rates up to 2.4 Mbps using the external clock options and up  
to 2 MBps using the internal baud rate generator, internal data formatting and on-chip clock  
recovery. The baud rate generator allows most standard rates to be achieved. These standards  
include the proposed IEEE802.3 LAN standard(1.0MBps) and the T1 standard (1.544Mbps). The  
baud rate is derived from the crystal frequency. This makes crystal selection important when  
determining the frequency and accuracy of the baud rate.  
The user needs to be aware that after reset, the GSC is in CSMA/CD mode, IFS = 256 bit times,  
and a bit time equals 8 oscillator periods. The GSC will remain in this mode until the interframe  
space expires. If the user changes to SDLC mode or the parameters used in CSMA/CD, these  
changes will not take effect until the interframe space expires. A requirement for the interframe  
space timer to begin is that the receiver be in an idle state. This makes it possible for the GSC to

be in some other mode than the user intends for a significant amount of time after reset. To pre-  
vent unwanted GSC errors from occurring, the user should not enable the GSC or the GSC inter-  
rupts for 170 machine cycles ((256 X 8) /12) after LNI bit is set.  
3.2 CSMA/CD Operation  
3.2.1 CSMA/CD OVERVIEW  
CSMA/CD Operates by sensing the transmission line for a carrier, which indicates link activity.  
At the end of link activity, a station must wait a period of time, called the deference period, before  
transmission may begin. The deference period is also known as the interframe space. The inter-  
frame space is explained in Section 3.2.3  
With this type of operation, there is always the possibility of a collision occurring after the defer-  
ence period due to line delays. If a collision is detected after transmission is started, a jamming  
mechanism is used to ensure that all stations monitoring the line are aware of the collision. A res-  
olution algorithm is then executed to resolve the contention. There are three different modes of  
collision resolution made available to the user on the C152. Re-transmission is attempted when a  
resolution algorithm indicates that a station’s opportunity has arrived.  
Normally, in CSMA/CD, re-transmission slot assignments are intended to be random. This  
method gives all stations an equal opportunity to utilize the serial communication link but also  
leaves the possibility of another collision due to two stations having the same slot assignment.  
There is an option on the C152 which allows all the stations to have their slot assignments previ-  
ously determined by user software. This pre-assignment of slots is called the deterministic resolu-  
tion mode. This method allows resolution after the first collision and ensures the access of the link  
to each station during the resolution. Deterministic resolution can be advantageous when the link  
is being heavily used and collisions are frequently occurring and in real time applications where  
determinism is required. Deterministic resolution may also be desirable if it is known before hand  
that a certain station’s communication needs to be prioritized over those of other stations if it is  
involved in a collision.  
3.2.2 CSMA/CD FRAME FORMAT  
The frame format in CSMA/CD consists of preamble, Beginning of Frame flag (BOF), address  
field, information field, CRC, and End of Frame flag (EOF) as shown in Figure

Technical Specifications  
PREAMBLE - The preamble is a series of alternating 1s and 0s. The length of the preamble is  
programmable to be 0, 8, 32, or 64 bits. The purpose of the preamble is to allow all the receivers  
to synchronize to the same clock edges and identifies to the other stations on-line that there is  
activity indicating the link is being used. For these reasons zero preamble length is not compatible  
with standard CSMA/CD, protocols. When using CSMA/CD, the BOF is considered part of the  
preamble compared to SDLC, where the BOF is not part of the preamble. This means that if zero  
preamble length were to be used in CSMA/CD, mode, no BOF would be generated. It is strongly  
recommended that zero preamble length never be used in CSMA/CD mode. If the preamble con-  
tains two consecutive 0s, The preamble is considered invalid. If the C152 detects an invalid pre-  
amble, the frame is ignored.  
BOF - In CSMA/CD the Beginning -Of-Frame is a part of the preamble and consists of two  
sequential 1s. The purpose of the BOF is to identify the end of the preamble and indicate to the  
receiver(s) that the address will immediately follow.  
ADDRESS - The address field is used to identify which messages are intended for which stations.  
The user must assign addresses to each destination and source. How the addresses are assigned,  
how they are maintained, and how each transmitter is made aware of which addresses are avail-  
able is an issue that is left to the user. Some suggestions are discussed in Section 3.5.5. Generally,  
each address is unique to each station but there are special cases where this is not true. In these  
special cases a message is intended for more than one station. These multi-targeted messages are  
called broadcast or multicast-group address usually is indicated by using a 1 as the first address  
bit. The user can choose to mask off all or selective bits of the address so that the GSC receives all  
messages or multicast-group messages. The address length is programmable to be 8 or 16 bits. An  
address consisting of all 1s will always be received by the GSC on the C152. The address bits are  
always passed from the GSC to the CPU. With user software, the address can be extended beyond  
16 bits, but the automatic address recognition will only work on a maximum of 16 bits. User soft-  
ware will have to resolve any remaining address bits.  
INFO - This is the information field and contains the data that one device on the link wishes to  
transmit to another device. It can be of any length the user wishes but needs to be in multiples of 8  
bits. This is because multiples of 8 bits are used to transfer data into or out of the GSC FIFOs. The  
information field is delineated from the rest of the components of the frame by the preceding  
address field and the following CRC. The receiver determines the position of the end of the infor-  
mation field by passing the bytes through a temporary storage space. When the EOF is received  
the bytes in temporary storage are the CRC, and the last bit received previous to the CRC consti-  
tute the end of the information field.  
CRC - The Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is an error checking algorithm commonly used in  
serial communications. The C152 offers two types of CRC algorithms, a 16-bit and a 32-bit. The  
16-bit algorithm is normally used in the SDLC mode and will be described in the SDLC section.  
In CSMA/CD applications either algorithm can be used but IEEE 802.3 uses a 32-bit CRC. The  
generation polynomial the C152 uses with the 32-bit CRC is:

The CRC generator, as shown in figure below, operates by taking each bit as it is received and  
XOR’ing it with bit 31 of the current CRC. This result is then placed in temporary storage. The  
result of XOR’ing bit 31 with the received bit is then XOR’d with bits 0,  
1,3,4,6,7,9,10,11,15,21,22,25 as the CRC is shifted right, the temporary storage space holding the  
result of XOR’ing bit 31 and the incoming bit is shifted into position 0. The whole process is then  
repeated with the next incoming or outgoing bit.

Received  
bit  
The user has no access to the CRC generator or the bits which constitute the CRC while in  
CSMA/CD. On transmission, the CRC is automatically appended to the data being sent, and on  
reception, the CRC bits are not normally loaded into the receive FIFO. Instead, they are automati-  
cally stripped. The only indication the user has for the status of the CRC is a pass/fail flag. The  
pass/fail flag only operates during reception. A CRC is considered as passing when the CRC gen-  
erator has 11000111 00000100 11011010 01111011 B as a remainder after all of the data, includ-  
ing the CRC checksum, from the transmitting station has been cycled through the CRC generator.  
The preamble, BOF and EOF are not included as part of the CRC algorithm. An interrupt is avail-  
able that will interrupt the CPU if the CRC of the receiver is invalid. The user can enable the CRC  
to be passed to the CPU by placing the receiver in the raw receive mode.  
This method of calculating the CRC is compatible with IEEE 802.3  
EOF - The End of Frame indicates when the transmission is completed. The end flag in CSMA/  
CD consists of an idle condition. An idle condition is assumed when there is no transitions and the

link remains high for 2 or more bit times.  
3.2.3 INTERFRAME SPACE  
The interframe space is the amount of time that transmission is delayed after the link is sensed as  
being idle and is used to separate transmitted frames. In alternate back off mode, the interframe  
space may also be included in the determination of when retransmissions may actually begin. The  
C152 allows programmable interframe spaces of even numbers of times from 2 to 256. The hard-  
ware enforces the interframe space in SDLC mode as well as in CSMA/CD mode.  
The period of the interframe space is determined by the contents of IFS. IFS is an SFR that is pro-  
grammable from 0 to 254. The interframe space is measured in bit times. The value in IFS multi-  
plied by the bit time equals the interframe space unless IFS equals 0. If IFS does equal 0, then the  
interframe space will equal 256 bit times. One of the considerations when loading the IFS is that  
only even numbers (LSB must be 0) can be used because only the 7 most significant bits are  
loaded into IFS. The LSB is controlled by the GSC and determines which half of the IFS is cur-  
rently being used. In some modes, the interframe space timer is re-triggered if activity is detected  
during the first half of the period. The GSC determines which half of the interframe space is cur-  
rently being used by examining the LSB. A one indicates the first half and zero indicates the sec-  
ond half of the IFS.  
After reset IFS is 0, which delays the first transmission for both SDLC and CSMA/CD by 256 bit  
times (after reset, a bit time equals 8 oscillator clock periods).  
In most applications, the period of the interframe space will be equal to or greater than the amount  
of time needed to turn -around the received frame. The turn-around period is the amount of time  
that is needed by user software to complete the handling of a received frame and be prepared to  
receive the next frame. An interframe space smaller than the required turn-around period could be  
used, but would allow some frames to be missed.  
When a GSC transmitter has a new message to send, it will first sense the link. If activity is  
detected, transmission will be deferred to allow the frame in progress to complete. When link  
activity ceases, the station continues deferring for one interframe space period.  
As mentioned earlier, the interframe space is used during the collision resolution period as well as  
during normal transmission. The backoff method selected affects how the deference period is han-  
dled during normal transmission. If normal backoff mode is selected, the interframe space timer is  
reset if activity occurs during approximately the first half of the interframe space. If alternate  
backoff or deterministic backoff is selected, the timer is not reset. In all cases when the interframe  
space timer expires, transmission may begin, regardless if there is activity on the link or not.  
Although the C152 resets the interframe space timer if activity is detected during the first one-half  
of the interframe space, this is not necessarily true of all CSMA/CD systems. (IEEE 802.3 recom-  
mends that the interframe space be reset if activity is detected during the first two-thirds or less of  
the interframe space.)

3.2.4 CSMA/CD DATA ENCODING  
Manchester encoding/decoding is automatically selected when the user software selects CSMA/  
CD transmission mode (See Figure below). In Manchester encoding the value of the bit is deter-  
mined by the transition in the middle of the bit time, a positive transition is decoded as a 1 and a  
negative transition is decoded as a 0. The Address and Info bytes are transmitted LSB first. The  
CRC is transmitted MSB first.

BIT  
TIME  
If the external 1X clock feature is chosen the transmission ode is always NRZ (see Section  
3.5.11). Using CSMA/CD with the external clock option is not supported because the data needs  
reformatting from NRZ to Manchester for the receiver to be able to detect code violations and col-  
lisions.  
3.2.5 COLLISION DETECTION  
The GSC hardware detects collisions by detecting Manchester waveform violations at its GRXD  
pin. Three kinds of waveform violations are detected: a missing 0-to-1 transition where one was  
expected, a 1-to-0 transition where none was expected, and a waveform that stays low (or high)  
for too short a time.  
Jitter Tolerance  
A valid Manchester waveform must have a transition at the midpoint of any bit cell, and may have  
a transition at the edge of any bit cell. Therefore, transitions will nominally be separated by either  
1/2 bit-time or 1 bit-time.  
The GSC samples the GRXD pin at the rate of 8 x the bit rate. The sequence of samples for the  
received bit sequence 001 would nominally be:  
samples: 11110000 : 11110000 : 00001111  
bit value:  
:
:
0
:
0
:
1
:<-bit cell->: <-bit cell->: <-bit cell->:  
The sampling system allows a jitter tolerance of + 1 sample for transitions that are 1/2 bit-time  
apart, and +2 samples for transitions that are 1 bit-time apart.

after the previous transition is considered to be the result of a collision. Thus, sample sequences  
such as 0000110000 and 111101111 are interpreted as collisions.  
The GSC hardware recognizes the collision to have occurred within 3/8 to 1/2 bit-time following  
the second transition.  
Missing 0-to-1 Transition  
A 0-to-1 transition is expected to occur at the center of any bit cell that begins with 0. If the previ-  
ous 1-to-0 transition occurred at the bit cell edge, a jitter tolerance of +1 sample is allowed. Sam-  
ple sequences such as 1111:00001111 and 1111:000001111 are valid, where “:” indicates a bit  
cell edge. Sequences of the form 1111:000000XXX are interpreted as collisions.  
For these kinds of sequences, the GSC recognizes the collision to have occurred within 1 to 11/8  
bit-times after the previous 1-to-0 transition.  
If the previous 1-to-0 transition occurred at the center of the previous bit cell, a jitter tolerance of  
+2 samples is allowed. Thus, sample sequences such as 11110000:00001111 and  
111100000:000001111 are valid. Sequences of the form 111100000:000000XXX are interpreted  
as collisions.  
For these kinds of sequences, the GSC recognizes the collision to have occurred within 1 5/8 to 1  
3/4 bit-times after the previous1-to-0 transition.  
Unexpected 1-to-0 Transition  
If the line is at a logic 1 during the first half of a bit cell, then it is expected to make a 1-to-0 tran-  
sition at the midpoint of the bit cell. If the transition is missed, it is assumed that this bit cell is the  
first half of an EOF flag (line idle for two bit-times). One bit-time later (which marks the midpoint  
of the next bit cell), if there is still no 1-to-0 transition, a valid EOF is assumed and the line idle bit  
(LNI in TSTAT) gets set.  
However, if the assumed EOF flag is interrupted by a 1-to-0 transition in the bit-time following  
the first missing transition, a collision is assumed. In that case the GSC hardware recognizes the  
collision to have occurred within 1/2 to 5/8 bit-time after the unexpected transition.

3.2.6 RESOLUTION OF COLLISIONS  
How the GSC responds to a detected collision depends on what it was doing at the time the colli-  
sion was detected. What it might be doing is either transmitting or receiving a frame, or it might  
be inactive.  
GSC Inactive  
If the GSC is already in the process of receiving a frame at the time the collision is detected, its  
response depends on whether the first byte of the frame has been transferred into RFIFO yet or  
not. If that hasn’t occurred, the GSC simply aborts the reception, but takes no other action unless  
DCR has been selected. If DCR has been selected, the GSC participates in the resolution algo-  
rithm.  
If the reception has already progressed to the point where a byte has been transferred to RFIFO by  
the time the collision is detected, the receiver is disabled (GREN = 0), and the Receive Error  
Interrupt flag RCABT is set. If DCR has been selected, the GSC participates in the resolution  
algorithm.

Jam  
The jam signal is generated by any 8XC152 that is involved in transmitting a frame at the time a  
collision is detected at its GRXD pin. This is to ensure that if one transmitting station detects a  
collision, all the other stations on the network will also detect a collision.

Technical Specifications  
If a transmitting 8XC152 detects a collision during the preamble/BOF part of the frame that it is  
trying to transmit, it will complete the preamble/BOF and then begin the jam signal in the first bit  
time after BOF. If the collision is detected later in the frame., the jam signal will begin in the next  
bit time after the collision was detected.  
The jam signal lasts for the same number of bit times as the selected CRC length-either 16- or 32-  
bit times.  
The 8XC152 provides two types of jam signals that can be selected by user software. If the node  
is DC-coupled to the network, the DC jam can be selected. In this case the GTXD pin is pulled to  
a logic 0 for the duration of the jam. If the node is AC-coupled to the network, then AC jam must  
be selected. In this case the GSC takes the CRC it has calculated thus far in the transmission,  
inverts each bit, and transmits the inverted CRC.The selection of DC or AC jam is made by setting  
or clearing the DCJ bit, which resides in the SFR named MYSLOT.  
When the jam signal is completed, the 8XC152 goes into an idle state. Presumably, other stations  
on the network are also generating their own jam signals, after which they too go into an idle state.  
When the 8XC152 detects the idle state at its own GRXD pin, the backoff sequence begins.  
Backoff  
There are three software selectable collision resolution algorithms in the 8XC152. The selection is  
made by writing values to 3 bits:

M1 and M0 reside in GMOD, and DCR is in MYSLOT.  
In the Normal Random algorithm, the GSC backs off for a random number of slot times and then  
decides whether to restart the transmission. The backoff time begins as soon as a line idle condi-  
tion is detected.  
The Alternate Random algorithm is the same as the Normal Random except the backoff time  
doesn’t start until an IFS has transpired.  
In the Deterministic algorithm, the GSC backs off to await its pre-determined turn.

Random Backoff  
In either of the random algorithms, the first thing that happens after a collision is detected is that a  
I gets shifted into the TCDCNT (Transmit Collision Detect Count) register, from the right.  
Thus if the software cleared TCDCNT before telling the GSC to transmit, then TCDCNT keeps  
track of how many times the transmission had to be aborted because of collisions:  
TCDCNT = 00000000  
00000001

first collision  
second collision  
third collision  
fourth collision  
00000011  
00000111  
00001111  
......................................  
11111111  
eighth collision  
After TCDCNT gets a 1 shifted into it, the logical AND of TCDCNT and PRBS is loaded into a  
countdown timer named BKOFF. PRBS is the name of an SFR which contains the output of a  
pseudo-random binary sequence generator. Its function is to provide a random number for use in  
the backoff algorithm.  
Thus on the first collision BKOFF gets loaded randomly with either 00000000 or 00000001. If  
there is a second collision it gets loaded with the random selection of 00000000, 00000001,  
00000010, or 00000011. On the third collision there will be a random selection among 8 possible  
numbers. On the fourth, among 16, etc. Figure below shows the logical arrangement of PRBS,  
TCDCNT, and BKOFF.

Technical Specifications  
BKOFF starts counting down from its preload value, counting slot times. At any time, the current  
value in BKOFF can be read by the CPU, but CPU writes to BKOFF have no effect. While  
BKOFF is counting down, if its current value is not 0, transmission is disabled. The output signal  
“BKOFF = 0” is asserted when BKOFF reaches 0, and is used to re-enable transmission.  
At that time transmission can proceed, subject of course to IFS enforcement, unless:  
shifting a 1 into TCDCNT from the right caused a 1 to shift out from the MSB of TCDCNT, or  
the collision was detected after TFIFO had been accessed by the transmit hardware.  
In either of these cases, the transmitter is disabled (TEN = 0) and the Transmit Error flag TCBT is  
set. The automatic restart is canceled.  
Where the Normal and Alternate Random backoff algorithms differ is that in Normal Random  
backoff the BKOFF timer starts counting down as soon as a line idle condition is detected,  
whereas in Alternate Random backoff the BKOFF timer doesn’t start counting down till the IFS  
expires.  
The Alternate Random mode was designed for networks in which the slot time is less than the  
IFS. If the randomly assigned backoff time for a given transmitter happens to be 0, then it is free  
to transmit as soon as the IFS ends. If the slot time is shorter than the IFS, Normal Random mode  
would nearly guarantee that if there’s first collision there will be a second collision. The situation  
is avoided in Alternate Random mode, since the BKOFF countdown doesn’t start till the IFS is  
over.  
The unit of count to the BKOFF timer is the slot time. The slot time is measured in bit-times, and  
is determined by a CPU write to the register SLOTTM. The slot time clock is a 1-byte down-  
counter which starts its countdown from the value written to SLOTTM. It is decremented each bit  
time when a backoff is in progress, and when it gets to 1 it generates one tick in the slot time  
clock. The next state after 1 is the reload value which was written to SLOTTM. If 0 is the value  
written to SLOTTM, the slot time clock will equal 256 bit times.  
A CPU writes to SLOTTM accesses the reload register. A CPU read of SLOTTM accesses the  
downcounter. In most protocols, the slot period must be equal to or greater than the longest round  
trip propagation time plus the jam time.  
Deterministic Backoff  
In the Deterministic backoff mode, the GSC is assigned (in software) a slot number. The slot  
assignment is written to the low 6 bits of the register MYSLOT. This same register also contains,  
in the 2 high bit positions, the control bits DCJ and DCR.  
Slot assignments therefore can run from 0 to 63. It will turn out that the higher the slot assign-  
ment, the sooner the GSC will get to restart its transmission in the event of a collision.

Technical Specifications  
The highest slot assignment in the network is written by each station’s software into its TCDCNT  
register. Normal the highest slot assignment is just the total number of stations that are going to  
participate in the backoff algorithm.  
In deterministic backoff mode a collision will not cause a 1 to be shifted into TCDCNT. TCDCNT  
will still be ANDed with PRBS and the result loaded into BKOFF. In order to insure that all sta-  
tions have the same value loaded into BKOFF, which determines the first slot number to occur, the  
PRBS should be loaded with OFFH; the PRBS will maintain this value until either the 8XC152 is  
reset or the user writes some other value into PRBS. After BKOFF is loaded it begins counting  
down slot times as soon as the IFS ends. Slot times are defined by the user, the same way as  
before, by loading SLOTTM with the number of bit times per slot.  
When BKOFF equals the slot assignment (as defined in MYSLOT), the signal “BKOFF = MYS-  
LOT” in Figure shown above is asserted for one slot time, during which the GSC can restart its  
transmission.  
While BKOFF is counting down, if any activity is detected at the GRXD pin, the countdown is  
frozen until the activity ends, a line idle condition is detected, and an IFS transpires. Then the  
countdown resumes from where it left off.  
If a collision is detected at the GRXD pin while BKOFF is counting down, the collision resolution  
algorithm is restarted from the beginning.  
In effect, the GSC “owns” its assigned slot number, but with one exception. Nobody owns slot  
number 0. Therefore if the GSC is assigned slot number 0, then when BKOFF=0, this station and  
any other station that has something to say at this time will have an equal chance to take the line.  
3.2.7 HARDWARE BASED ACKNOWLEDGE  
Hardware Based Acknowledge (HBA) is data link packet acknowledging scheme that the user  
software can enable with CSMA/CD protocol. It is not an option with SDLC protocol however.  
In general HBA can give improved system response time and increased effective transmission  
rates over acknowledge schemes implemented in higher layers of the network architecture.  
Another benefit is the possibility of early release of the transmit buffer as soon as the acknowl-  
edge is received.  
The acknowledge consists of a preamble followed by an idle condition. A receiving station with  
HABEN enabled will send an acknowledge only if the incoming address is unique to the receiving  
station and if the frame is determined to be correct with no errors. For the acknowledge to be sent,  
TEN must be set. For the transmitting station to recognize the acknowledge GREN must be set. A  
zero as the LSB of the address indicates that the address is unique and not a group or broadcast  
address. Errors can be caused by collisions, incorrect CRC, misalignment, or FIFO overflow. The  
receiver sends the acknowledge as soon as the line is sensed to be idle. The user must program the

interframe space and the preamble length such that the acknowledge is completed before IFS  
expires. This is normally done by programming IFS larger than the preamble.  
A transmitting station with HABEN enabled expects an acknowledge. It must receive one prior to  
the end of the interframe space, or else an error is assumed and the NOACK bit is set. Setting of  
the TDN bit is also delayed until the end of the interframe space. Collisions detected during the  
interframe space will also cause NOACK to be set.  
If the user software has enabled DMA servicing of the GSC, an interrupt is generated when TDN  
is set. TDN will be set at the end of the interframe space if a hardware based acknowledge is  
required and received. If the GSC is serviced by the CPU, the user must time out the interframe  
space and then check TDN before disabling the transmitter or transmit error interrupts. NOACK  
will generate a transmit error interrupt if the transmitter and interrupts are enabled during the  
interframe space.

3.3 SDLC Operation  
SDLC is a communication protocol developed by IBM and widely used in industry. It is based on  
a primary/ secondary architecture and requires that each secondary station have a unique address.  
The secondary stations can only communicate to the primary station, and then, only when the pri-  
mary station allows communication to take place. This eliminates the possibility of contention on  
the serial line caused by the secondary station’s trying to transmit simultaneously.  
In the C152, SDLC can be configured to work in either full or half duplex. When adhering to strict  
SDLC protocol, full duplex is required. Full duplex is selected whenever a 16-bit CRC is selected.  
At the end of a valid reset the 16-bit CRC is selected. To select half duplex with a 16-bit CRC, the  
receiver must be turned off by user software before transmission. The receiver is turned off by  
clearing the GREN bit (RSTAT.1). The receiver needs to be turned off because the address that is  
transmitted is the address of the secondary station’s receiver. If not turned off, the receiver could  
mistake the outgoing message as being intended for itself. When 32-bit CRCs are used, half  
duplex is the only method available for transmission.  
3.3.2 SDLC Frame Format  
The format of an SDLC frame is shown in Figure. The frame consists of a Beginning of Frame  
flag, Address field, Control Field, Information field (optional), a CRC, and the End of Frame flag.  
BOF  
ADDRESS  
CONTROL  
INFO  
CRC  
EOF  
Typical SDLC Frame  
BOF - The begin of frame flag for SDLC is 01111110. It is only one of two possible combinations  
that have six consecutive ones in SDLC. The other possibility is an abort character which consists  
of eight or more consecutive ones. This is because SDLC utilizes a process called bit stuffing. Bit  
stuffing is the insertion of a 0 as the next bit every time a sequence of five consecutive 1s is  
detected. The receiver automatically removes a 0 after every consecutive group of five ones. This  
removal of the 0 bit is referred to as bit stripping. Bit stuffing is discussed in Section 3.3.4. All the  
procedures required for bit stuffing and bit stripping are automatically handled by the GSC.  
In standard SDLC protocol the BOF signals the start of a frame and is limited to 8 bits in length.  
Since there is no preamble in SDLC the BOF is considered an entire separate field and marks the  
beginning of the frame. The BOF also serves as the clock synchronization mechanism and the ref-  
erence point for determining the position of the address and control fields.  
ADDRESS - The address field is used to identify which stations the message is intended for. Each  
secondary station must have a unique address. The primary station must then be made aware of  
which addresses are assigned to each station. The address length is specified as 8-bits in standard  
SDLC protocols but it is expandable to 16-bits in the C152. User software can further expand the

number of address bits, but the automatic address recognition feature works on a maximum of 16-  
bits.  
In SDLC the address are normally unique for each station. However, there are several classes of  
messages that are intended for more than one station. These messages are called broadcast and  
group addressed frames. An address consisting of all 1s will always be automatically received by  
the GSC, this is defined as the broadcast address in SDLC. A group address is an address that is  
common to more than one station. The GSC provides address masking bits to provide the capabil-  
ity of receiving group address.  
If desired, the user software can mask off all the bits of the address. This type of masking puts the  
GSC in a pomiscuous mode so that all addresses are received.  
CONTROL - The control field is used for initialization of the system, identifying the sequence of  
a frame, to identify if the message is complete, to tell secondary stations if a response is expected,  
and acknowledgment of previously sent frames. The user software is responsible for insertion of  
the control field as the GSC hardware has no provisions for the management of this field. The  
interpretation and formation of the control field must also be handled by user software. The infor-  
mation following the control field is typically used for information transfer, error reporting, and  
various other functions. These functions are accomplished by the format of the control field.  
There are three formats available. The types of formats are informational, Supervisory, or Unnum-  
bered.  
INFO - This is the information field and contains the data that one device on the link wishes to  
transmit to another device. It can be of any length the user wishes, but must be a multiple of 8 bits.  
It is possible that some frames may contain no information field. The information field is identi-  
fied to the receiving stations by the preceding control field and the following CRC. The GSC  
determines where the last of the information field is by passing the bits through the CRC genera-  
tor. When the last bit or EOF is received the bits that remain constitute the CRC.  
CRC -The Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is an error checking sequence commonly used in  
serial communications. The C152 offers two types of CRC algorithms, a 16-bit and a 32-bit. The  
32-bit algorithm is normally used in CSMA/CD applications and is described in section 3.2.2. In  
most SDLC applications a 16-bit CRC is used and the hardware configuration that supports 16-bit  
CRC is shown in Figure below The generating polynomial that the CRC generator uses with the  
16-bit CRC is:  
16  
12  
5
G(X) = X + X + X + 1  
The way the CRC operates is that as a bit is received it is XOR’d with bit 15 of the current CRC  
and placed in temporary storage. The result of XOR’ing bit 15 with the received bit is then XOR’d  
with bit 4 and bit 11 as the CRC is shifted one position to the right. The bit in temporary storage is  
shifted into position 0.  
The required CRC length for SDLC is 16 bits. The CRC is automatically stripped from the frame  
and not passed on to the CPU. The last 16 bits are then run through the CRC generator to insure

EOF - The End Of Frame (EOF) indicates when the transmission is complete. The EOF is identi-

the BOF for the next frame.  
3.3.3 DATA ENCODING  
The transmission of data in SDLC mode is done via NRZI encoding as shown in Figure below.  
NRZI encoding transmits data by changing the state of the output whenever a 0 is being transmit-  
ted. Whenever a 1 is transmitted the state of the output remains the same as the previous bit and  
remains valid for the entire bit time. When SDLC mode is selected it automatically enables the  
NRZI encoding on the transmit line and NRZI decoding on the receive line. The Address and Info  
bytes are transmitted LSB first. The Address and Info bytes are transmitted LSB first. The CRC is  
transmitted MSB first.

3.3.4 BIT STUFFING/STRIPPING  
In SDLC mode one of the primary rules of the protocol is that in any normal data transmission,  
there will never be an occurrence of more than 5 consecutive 1s. The GSC takes care of this  
housekeeping chore by automatically inserting a 0 after every occurrence of 5 consecutive 1s and  
the receiver automatically removes a zero after receiving 5 consecutive 1s. All the necessary steps

required for implementing bit stuffing and striping are incorporated into the GSC hardware. This  
makes the operation transparent to the user. About the only time this operation becomes apparent  
to the user, is if the actual data on the transmission medium is being monitored by a device that is  
not aware of the automatic insertion of 0s. The bit stuffing/stripping guarantees that there will be  
at least one transition every 6 bit times while the line is active.  
3.3.5 SENDING ABORT CHARACTER  
An abort character is one of the exceptions to the rule that disallows more than 5 consecutive 1s.  
The abort character consists of any occurrence of seven or more consecutive ones. The simplest  
way for the C152 to send an abort character is to clear the TEN bit. This causes the output to be  
disabled which, in turn, forces it to a constant high state. The delay necessary to insure that the  
link is high for seven bit times is a task that needs to be handled by user software. Other methods  
of sending an abort character are using the IFS register or using the Raw Transmit mode. Using  
IFS still entails clearing the TEN bit, but TEN can be immediately re-enabled. The next message  
will not begin until the IFS expires. The IFS begins timing out as soon as DEN goes high which  
identifies the end of transmission. This also requires that IFS contain a value equal to or greater  
than 8. This method may have the undesirable effect that DEN goes high and disables the external  
drivers. The other alternative is to switch to Raw Transmit mode. Then, writing OFFH to TFIFO  
would generate a high output for 8 bit times. This method would leave DEN active during the  
transmission of the abort character.1  
When the receiver detects seven or more consecutive 1s and data has been loaded into the receive  
FIFO, the RCABT flag is set in RSTAT and the frame is ignored. If no data has been loaded into  
the receive FIFO, there are no abort flags set and that frame is just ignored. A retransmitted frame  
may immediately follow an abort character, provided the proper flags are used.  
3.3.6 LINE IDLE  
If 15 or more consecutive 1s are detected by the receiver the Line Idle (LNI) in TSTAT is set. The  
seven 1s from the abort character may be included when sensing for a line idle condition. The  
same methods used for sending the Abort character can be used for creating the Idle condition.  
However, the values would need to be changed to reflect 15 bit times, instead of seven bit times.  
3.3.7 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT  
Acknowledgment in SDLC is an implied acknowledge and is contained in the control field. Part  
of the control frame is the sequence number of the next expected frame. This sequence number of  
is called the Receive Count. In transmitting the Receive Count, the receiver is in fact acknowledg-  
ing all the previous frames prior to the count that was transmitted. This allows for the transmis-  
sion of up to seven frames before an acknowledge is required back to the transmitter. The  
limitation of seven frames is necessary because the Receive Count in the control field is limited to  
three binary digits. This means that if an eighth transmission occurred this would cause the next  
Receive Count to repeat the first count that still is waiting for an acknowledge. This would defeat  
the purpose of the acknowledgment. The processing and general maintenance of the sequence

count must be done by the user software. The Hardware Based Acknowledge option that is pro-  
vided in the C152 is not compatible with standard SDLC protocol.  
3.3.8 PRIMARY/SECONDARY STATIONS  
All SDLC networks are based upon a primary/secondary station relationship. There can be only  
one primary station in a network and all the other stations are considered secondary. All commu-  
nication is between the primary and secondary station. Secondary station to secondary station  
direct communication is prohibited. If there is a need for secondary to secondary communication,  
the user software will have to make allowances for the master to act as an intermediary. Secondary  
stations are allowed use of the serial line only when the master permits them. This is done by the  
master polling the secondary stations to see if they have a need to access the serial line. This  
should prevent any collisions from occurring, provided each secondary station has its own unique  
address. This arrangement also partially determines the types of networks supported. Normally  
SDLC networks consists of point-to-point, multi-drop, or ring configurations and the C152 sup-  
ports all of these. However, some SDLC processors support an automatic one bit delay at each  
node that is not supported by the C152. In a “Loop Mode” configuration, is necessary that the  
transmission be delayed from the reception of the frames from the upstream station before passing  
the message to the downstream station. This delay is necessary so that a station can decode its  
own address before the message is passed on. The various networks are shown in Figure.

3.3.9 HDLC/SDLC COMPARISON  
HDLC (High level Data Link Control) is a standard adopted by the International Standards Orga-  
nization (ISO). The HDLC standard is defined in the ISO document # ISO6159 -HDLC unbal-  
anced classes of procedure. IBM developed the SDLC protocol as a subset of HDLC. SDLC  
confirms to HDLC protocol requirements, but is more restrictive. SDLC contains a more precise  
definition on the modes of operation.  
Some of the major differences between SDLC and HDLC are:  
SDLC  
HDLC  
Unbalanced (primary/secondary)  
Modulo 8(no extensions allowed,  
acknowledge is required)  
up to 7 out-standing frames before  
acknowledge is required)  
8-bit addressing only  
Balanced (peer to peer)  
Modulo 128 (up to 127 outstanding frames before  
Extended addressing  
Variable size of data  
Byte aligned data  
The C152 does not support HDLC implementation requiring data alignment other than byte align-  
ment. The user will find that many of the protocol parameters are programmable in the C152  
which allows easy implementation of proprietary or standard HDLC network. User software  
needs to implement the control field functions.  
3.3.10 USING A PREAMBLE IN SDLC  
When transmitting a preamble in SDLC mode, the user should be aware that the pattern of  
10101010.....is output. NRZI encoding is used in SDLC when the internal baud rate generator is  
the clock source and this means that a transition will occur every two bit times, when a 0 is trans-  
mitted. This compares with some others SDLC devices, most of which transmit the pattern  
00000000..... which will cause a transition every bit time. Our past experience has shown that the  
C152 preamble does not cause a problem with most other devices. This is because the preamble is  
used only to define the relative bit time boundaries within some variation allowed by the receiving  
station, and the C152 does not have any problems with receiving a preamble consisting of all 0s.  
One note of caution however. If idle fill flags are used in conjunction with a preamble, the address  
00(00)H and 55(55) H should not be assigned to any C152 as the preamble following the idle fill  
flags will be interpreted as an address.  
3.4 User Defined Protocols  
The explanation on the implementation of user defined protocols would go beyond the scope of  
this manual, but examining Table 3.1 should give the reader a consolidated list of most of the pos-  
sibilities. In this manual, any deviation from the documents that cover the implementation of  
CSMA/CD or SDLC are considered user defined protocols. Examples of this would be the use of  
SDLC with the 32-bit CRC selected or CSMA/CD with hardware based acknowledge.

3.5 USING THE GSC  
3.5.1 LINE DISCIPLINE  
Line discipline is how the management of the transfer of data over the physical medium is con-  
trolled. Two types of line discipline will be discussed in this section: full duplex and half duplex.  
Full duplex is the simultaneous transmission and reception of data.Full duplex uses anywhere  
from two to four wires. At least one wire is needed for transmission and one write for reception.  
Usually there will also be a ground reference on each signal if the distance from station to station  
is relatively long. Full-duplex operation in the dC152 requires that both the receive and the trans-  
mit portion of the GSC are functioning at the same time. Since both the transmitter and receiver  
are operating, two CRC generators are also needed. The C152 handles this problem by having one  
32-bit CRC generator and one 16-bit CRC generator. When supporting full-duplex operation, the  
32-bit CRC generator is modified to work as a 16-bit CRC generator. When ever the 16-bit CRC  
is selected, the GSC automatically enters the full duplex mode. Half duplex with a 16-bit CRC is  
discussed in the following paragraph.  
Half duplex is the alternate transmission and reception of data over a single common wire. Only  
one or two wires are needed in half-duplex systems. One wire is needed for the signal and if the  
distance to be covered is long there will also be a wire for the found reference. In half-duplex  
mode, only the receiver or transmitter can operate at one time. When the receiver or transmitter  
operates is determined by user software, but typically the receiver will always be enabled unless  
the GSC is transmitting. When using the C152 in half-duplex and the receiver is connected to the  
transmitter it is possible that a station will receive its’ own transmission. This can occur if a  
broadcast address is sent, the address mask register(s) are filled with all 1s, or the address being  
sent matches the sending stations address through the use of the address masking registers. the  
receiver must be disabled by the user while transmitting if any of these conditions will occur,  
unless the user wants a station to receive its own transmission. The receiver is disabled by clearing  
GREN (and GAREN if used). Half-duplex operation in the C152 is supported with either 16-bit or  
32-bit CRCs. Whenever a 32-bit CRC is selected, only half-duplex operation can be supported by  
the GSC. It is possible to simulate full-duplex operation with a 32-bit CRC, but this would require  
that the CRC be performed with software. Calculating the CRC with the CPU would greatly  
reduce the data rates that could be used with the GSC. Whenever a 16-bit CRC is selected, full-  
duplex operation is automatically chosen and the GSC must be reconfigured if half duplex opera-  
tion is preferred.  
3.5.2 PLANNING FOR NETWORK CHANGES AND EXPANSIONS  
A complete explanation on ho to plan for network expansion will not be covered in this manual as  
there are far too many possibilities that would need to be discussed. But there are several areas  
that will have major impact when allowing for changes in the system. In cases where there will  
never be any changes allowed, expansion plans become a mute issue. However, it is strongly sug-  
gested that there always be some allowance for future modifications.

Technical Specifications  
Some of the general areas that will impact the overall scheme on how to incorporate future  
changes to the system are:  
1) Communication of the change to all the stations or the primary station.  
2) Maximum distance for communication. This will affect the drivers used and the slot time.  
3) More stations may be on the line at one time. This may impact the interframe space or the col-  
lision resolution used.  
4) If using CSMA/CD without deterministic resolution, any increase in network size will have a  
negative impact on the average throughput of the network and lower the efficiency. The user will  
have to give careful consideration when deciding how large a system can ultimately be and still  
maintain adequate performance.  
3.5.3 DMA SERVICING OF GSC CHANNELS  
There are two sources that can be used to control the GSC. The first is CPU control and the sec-  
ond is DMA control.  
CPU control is used when user software takes care of the tasks such as: loading the TFIFO, read-  
ing the RDIFO, checking the status flags, and general tracking of the transmission process. As the  
number of tasks grow and higher data transfer rates are used, the overhead required by the CPU  
becomes the dominant consumption of time. Eventually, a point is reached where the CPU is  
spending 100% of its time responding to the needs of the GSC. An alternative is to have the DMA  
channels control the GSC  
A detailed explanation on the general use of the DMA channels is covered in Section 4. In this  
section only those details required for the use of the DMA channels with the GSC will be covered.  
The DMA channels can be configured by user software so that the GSC data transfers are serviced  
by the DA controller. Since there are two DMA channels, one channel can be used to service the  
receiver, and one channel can be used to service the transmitter. In using the DMA channels, the  
CPU is relived of much of the time required to do the basic servicing of the GSC buffers. The  
types of servicing that the DMA channels can provide are: loading of the transmit FIFO, remov-  
ing data from the receive FIFO, notification of the CPU when the transmission or reception has  
ended, and response to certain error conditions. When using the DMA channels the source or des-  
tination of the data intended for serial transmission can be internal data memory, external data  
memory, or any of the SFRs.  
The only tasks required after initialization of the DMA and GSC registers are enabling the proper  
interrupts and informing the DMA controller when to start. After the DMA channels are started  
all that is required of the CPU is to respond to error conditions or wait until the end of transmis-  
sion.  
Initialization of the DMA channels requires setting up the control, source, and destination address

Technical Specifications  
registers. On the DMA channel servicing the receiver, the control register needs to be loaded as  
follows: DCONn.2 = 0, this sets the transfer mode so that response is to GSC interrupts and put  
the DMA control in alternate cycle mode; DCONn.3 = 1, this enables the demand mode;  
DCONn.4 = 0, this clears the automatic increment option for the source address; and DCONn.5 =  
1, this defines the source as SFR, The DMA channel servicing the receiver also needs its source  
address register to contain the address of RFIFO (SHRHN = XXH, SARLN = 0F4H). On the  
DMA channel servicing the transmitter, the control register needs to be loaded as follows:  
DCONn.2 = 0; DCONn.3 = 1; DCONn.6 = 0, this clears the automatic increment option for the  
destination address; and DCONn.7 = 1, this sets the destination as SFR. The DMA channel serv-  
ing the transmitter also requires that its destination address register contains the address of TFIFO  
(DARHN = XXH, DARLN = 85H). Assuming that DCON0 would be serving the receiver and  
DCON1 the transmitter, DCON0 would be loaded with XX1010X0B. The contents of SARH0  
and DARH1 do not have any impact when using internal SFRs as the source or destination.  
When using the DMA channels to service the GSC, the byte count registers will also need to be  
initialized.  
The Done flag for the DMA channel servicing the receiver should be used if fixed packet lengths  
only are being transmitted or to insure that memory is not over-written by long received data  
packets. Overwriting of data can occur when using a smaller buffer than the packet size. In these  
cases the servicing of the DMA and/or GSC would be in response to the DMA Done flag when  
the byte count reaches zero.  
In some cases the buffer size is not the limiting factor and the packet length will be unknown. in  
these cases it would be desirable to eliminate the function of the Done flag. To effectively disable  
the Done flag for the DMA channel servicing the receiver, the byte count should be set to some  
number larger than any packet that will be received, up to 64K. If not using the Done flag, then  
GSC servicing would be driven by the receive Done (RDN) flag and /or interrupt. RDN is set  
when the EOF is detected. When using the RDN flag, RFNE should also be checked to insure that  
all the data has been emptied out of the receive FIFO.  
The byte count register is used for all transmissions and this means that all packets going out will  
have to be of the same length or the length of the packet to be sent will have to be known prior to  
the start of transmission. When using the DMA channels to service the GSC transmitter, there is  
no practical way to disable the Done flag. This is because the transmit done flag (TDN) is set  
when the transmit FIFO is empty and the last message bit has been transmitted. But, when using  
the DMA channel to service the transmitter, loads to the TFIFO continue to occur until the byte  
count reaches 0. This makes it impossible to use TDN as a flag to stop the DMA transfers to  
TFIFO. It is possible to examine some other registers or conditions, such as the current byte  
count, to determine when to stop the DMA transfers to TFIFO, but this is not recommended as a  
way to service the DMA and GSC when transmitting because frequent reading of the DMA regis-  
ters will cause the effective DMA transfer rate to slow down.  
When using the DMA channels, initialization of the GSC would be exactly the same as normal  
except that TSTAT.0 = 1 (DMA), this informs the GSC that the DMA channels are going to be  
used to service the GSC. Although only TSTAT is written to, both the receiver and transmitter use

this same DMA bit.  
The interrupts EGSTE (IEN1.5), GSC transmit error; EGSTV (IEN1.3), GSC transmit valid;  
EGSRE (IEN1.1), GSC receive error; and EGSRV (IEN1.0), GSC receive valid; need to be  
enabled. The DMA interrupts are normally not used when servicing the GSC with the DMA chan-  
nels. To ensure that the DMA interrupts are normally not used when servicing the GSC with the  
DMA channels. To ensure that the DMA interrupts are not responded to is a function of the user  
software and should be checked by the software to make sure they are not enabled. priority for  
these interrupts can also be set at this time. Whether to use high or low priority needs to be  
decided by the user. When responding to the GSC interrupts, if a buffer is being used to store the  
GSC information, then the DMA registers used for the buffer will probably need updating.  
After this initialization, all that needs to be done when the GSC is actually going to be used is:  
load the byte count, set-up the source addresses for the DMA channel servicing the transmitter,  
set-up the destination addresses for the DMA channel servicing the receiver, and start the DMA  
transfer. The GSC enable bits should be set first and then the GO bits for the DMA. This initiates  
the data transfers.  
This simplifies the maintenance of the GSC and can make the implementation of an external  
buffer for packetized information automatic.  
An external buffer can be used as the source of data for transmission, or the destination of data  
from the receiver. In this arrangement, the message size is limited to the RAM size or 64K, which-  
ever is smaller. By using an external buffer, the data can be accessed by other devices which may  
want access to the serial data. The amount of time required for the external data moves will also  
decrease. Under CPU control, a “MOVX” command would take 24 oscillator periods to complete.  
Under DMA control, external to internal, or internal to external, data moves take only 12 oscilla-  
tor periods.  
3.5.4 BAUD RATE  
The GSC baud rate is determined by the contents of the SFR, BAUD, or the external clock. The  
formula used to determine the baud rate when using the internal clock is:  
(fosc)/ ((BAUD +1)*8)  
For example if a 12 MHz oscillator is used the baud rate can vary from:  
12,000,000/ ((0+1)*8) = 1.5 MBPS  
to:  
12,000,000/((255+1)*8) = 5.859 KBPS  
There are certain requirements that the external clock will need to meet. These requirements are

specified in the data sheet. For a description of the use of the GSC with external clock please read  
Section 3.5.11.  
3.5.5 INITIALIZATION  
Initialization can be broken down into two major components, 1) initialization of the component  
so that its serial port is capable of proper communication; and 2) initialization of the system or a  
station so that intelligible communication can take place.  
Most of the initialization of the component has already been discussed in the previous sections.  
Those items not covered are the parameters required for the component to effectively communi-  
cate with other components. These types of issues are common to both system and component ini-  
tialization and will be covered in the following text.  
Initialization of the system can be broken down into several steps. First, are the assumptions of  
each network station.  
The first assumption is that the type of data encoding to be used is predetermined for the system  
and that each station will adhere to the same basic rules defining that encoding. The second  
assumption is that the basic protocol and line discipline is predetermined and known. This means  
that all stations are using CSMA/CD or SDLC or whatever, and that all stations are either full or  
half duplex. The third assumption is that the baud rate is preset for the whole system. Though the  
baud rate could probably be determined by the microprocessor just by monitoring the link, it will  
make it much simpler if the baud rate is known in advance.  
One of the first things that will be required during system initialization is the assignment of  
unique addresses for each station. in a two-station only environment this is not necessary and can  
be ignored. However, keep in mind, that all systems should be constructed for easy future expan-  
sions. Therefore, even in only a two station system, addresses should be assigned. There are three  
basic ways in which addresses can be assigned. The first, and most common is preassigned  
addresses that are loaded into the station by the user. This could be done with a DIP-switch,  
through a keyboard. The second method of assigning addresses is to randomly assign an address  
and then check for its uniqueness throughout the system, and the third method is to make an  
inquiry to the system for the assignment of a unique address. Once the method of address assign-  
ment is determined, the method should become part of the specifications for the system to which  
all additions will have to adhere. This, then, is the final assumption.  
The negotiation process may not be clear for some readers. The following two procedure are  
given as a guideline for dynamic address assignment.  
In the first procedure, a station assumes a random address and then checks for its uniqueness  
throughout the system. As a station is initialized into the system it sends out a message containing  
its assumed address. The format of the message should be such that any station decoding the  
address recognizes it as a request for initialization. if that address is already used, the receiving  
station returns a message, with its own address starting that the address in question is already  
taken. The initializing station then picks another address. When the initializing station sends its

Technical Specifications  
inquiry for the address check, a timer is also started. If the timer expires before the inquiry is  
responded to, then that station assumes the address chosen is okay.  
In the second procedure, an initializing station asks for an address assignment from the system.  
This requires that some station on the link take care of the task of maintaining a record of which  
addresses are used. This station will be called station-1. When the initializing station, called sta-  
tion-2, gets on the link, it sends out a message with a broadcast address. The format of the mes-  
sage should be such that all other stations on the link recognize it as a request for address  
assignment. Part of the message from station-2 is a random number generated by the station  
requesting the address. Station-2 then examines all received messages for this random number.  
The random number could be the address of the received message or could be within the informa-  
tion section of a broadcast frame. All the stations, except station-1, on the link should ignore the  
initialization request. Station-1, upon receiving the initialization requests, assigns an address and  
returns it to station-2. Station-1 will be required to format the message in such a manner so that all  
stations on the link recognize it as a response to initialization. This means that all stations except  
station-2 ignore the return message.  
3.5.6 TEST MODES  
There are two test modes associated with the GSC that are made available to the user. The test  
modes are named Raw Receive and Raw Transmit. The test modes are selected by the proper set-  
ting of the two mode bits in GMOD (M0 = GMOD.5, M1 = GMOD.6). If M1, M0 = 0,1 then Raw  
Transmit is selected. If M1,M0 = 1,0 then Raw Receive is enabled. The 32-bit CRC cannot be  
used in any of the test modes, or else CRC errors will occur.  
In Raw Transmit, the transmit output is internally connected to the Receiver input. This is  
intended to be used as a local loop-back test mode, so that all data written to the transmitter will  
be returned by the receiver. Raw Transmit can also be used to transmit user data. If Raw Transmit  
is used in this way the data is emitted with no preamble, flag, address CRC, nd no bit insertion.  
The data is still encoded with whatever format is selected, Manchester with CSMA/CD, NRZI  
with SDLC or as NRZ if external clocks are used. The receiver still operates as normal and in this  
mode most of the receive functions can be tested.  
In Raw Receive, the transmitter should be externally connected to the receiver. To do this a port  
pin should be sued to enable an external device to connect the two pins together. in Raw Receive  
mode the receiver acts as normal except that all bytes following the BOF are loaded into the  
receive FIFO, including the CRC. Also address recognition is not active but needs to be per-  
formed in software. If SDLC is selected as the protocol, zero-bit deletion is still enabled. The  
transmitter still operates as normal and in this mode most of the transmitter functions and an  
external transceiver can be tested. This is also the only way that the CRC can be read by the CPU,  
but the CRC error bit will not be set.  
3.5.7 EXTERNAL DRIVER INTERFACE  
A signal is provided from the C152 to enable transmitter drivers for the serial link. This is pro-  
vided for systems that require more than what the GSC ports are capable of delivering. The volt-

Technical Specifications  
age and currents that the GSC is capable of providing are the same levels as those for normal port  
operation. The signal used to enable the external drivers is DEN. No similar signal is needed for  
the receiver.  
DEN is active one bit time before transmission begins. In CSMA/CD DEN remains active for two  
bit times after the CRC is transmitted. In SDLC DEN remains active until the last bit of the EOF  
is transmitted.  
3.5.8 JITTER (RECEIVE)  
Data jitter is the difference between the actual transmitted waveform and the exact calculated  
value(s). In NRZI, data jitter would be how much the actual wave-form exceeds or falls short of  
one calculated bit time. A bit time equal 1/ baud rate. If using Manchester encoding, there can be  
two transitions during one bit time as shown in Figure below. This causes a second parameter to  
be considered when trying to figure out the complete data jitter amount. This other parameter is  
the half-bit jitter.The half-bit jitter is comprised of the difference in time that the half-bit transition  
actually occurs and the calculated value. Jitter is important because if the transition occurs too  
soon it is considered noise, and if the transition occurs too late, then either the bit is missed or a  
collision is assumed.

3.5.10 Receiver Clock Recovery  
The receiver is always monitored at eight times the baud rate frequency, except when an external  
clock is used. When using an external clock the receiver is loaded during the clock cycle.  
In CSMA/CD mode the receiver synchronizes to the transmitted data during the preamble. If a  
pulse is detected as being too short it is assumed to be noise or a collision. If a pulse is too long it  
is assumed to be a collision or an idle condition.  
In SDLC the synchronization takes place during the BOF flag. In addition, pulses less than four  
sample periods are ignored, and assumed to be noise. This sets a lower limit on the pulse size of  
received zeros.  
In CSMA/CD the preamble consists of alternating 1s and 0s. Consequently, the preamble looks  
like the waveform in Figure A and B.

3.5.11 External Clocking  
To select external clocking, the user is given three choices. External clocking can be used with the  
transmitter, with the receiver, or with both. To select external clocking for the transmitter, XTCLK  
(GMOD.7) has to be set to a 1. To select external clocking for the receiver, XRCLK (PCON.3) has  
to be set to a 1. Set ting both bits to 1 forces external clocking for the receiver and transmitter. The  
minimum frequency the GSC can be externally clocked at is 0 Hz (D.C.).  
The external transmit clock is applied to pin 4 (TXC), P1.3. The external receive clock is applied  
to pin 5 (RXC), P1.4. To enable the external clock function on the port pin, that pin has to be set to  
a 1 in the appropriate SFR, P1.  
Whenever the external clock option is used, the format of the transmitted and received data is  
restricted to NRZ encoding and the protocol is restricted to SDLC. With external clock, the bit  
stuffing/stripping is still active with SDLC protocol.  
3.5.12 Determining Receiver Errors  
It is possible that several receiver error bits will be set in response to a single cause. The multiple  
errors that can occur are:  
AE and CRCE may both be set when an alignment error occurs due to a bad CRC caused by the  
misaligned frame.  
RCABT, AE, and CRCE may be set when an abort occurs.  
OVR, AE, and CRCE may be set when a overrun occurs.  
In order to determine the correct cause o the error a specific order should be followed when exam-  
ining the error bits. This order is:  
1) OVR  
2) RCBAT  
3) AE  
4) CRCE  
3.5.13 Addressing  
There are four 8-bit address registers (ADR0, ADR1, ADR2, ADR3) and two 8-bit address mask  
registers (AMSK0, AMSK1) in the C152. These function with the GSC receiver only. The trans-  
mitted address is treated like any other data. The address is transmitted under software control by  
placing the address byte(s) at the proper location (usually first) in the sequence of bytes to be out-  
put in the outgoing packet.  
The C152 can have up to four different 8-bit addresses or two different 16-bit addresses assigned

Technical Specifications  
to each station. When using 16-bit addressing, ADR0:ADR1 form one address and ADR2:ADR3  
form the second address. If the receiver is enabled, it looks for a matching address after every  
BOF flag is detected. As the data is received, if the 8th (or 16th) bit does not match the address  
recognition circuitry, the rest of the frame is ignored and the search continues for another flag. if  
the address does match the address recognition circuitry, the address and all subsequent data is  
passed into the receive FIFO until the EOF flag or an error occurs. The address is not stripped and  
is also passed to RFIFO.  
The address masking registers, AMSK0 and AMSK1, work in conjunction with ADR0 and ADR1  
respectively to identify “don’t care” bits. A 1 in any position in the AMSKn register makes the  
respective bit in the ADRn register irrelevant. These combinations can then be used for form  
group addresses. If the masking registers are filled with all 1s, the C152 will receive all packets,  
which is called the promiscuous mode. If 16-bit addressing is used, AMSK0:AMSK1 form one  
16-bit address mask.  
3.6 GSC Operation  
3.6.1 Determining Line Discipline  
In normal operation the GSC uses full or half duplex operation. When using a 32-bit CRC  
(GMOD.3 = 1), operation can only be half duplex. If using a 16-bit CRC (GMOD.3 = 0), full  
duplex is selected by default. When using a 16-bit CRC the receiver can be turned off while trans-  
mitting (RSTAT.1 = 0), and the transmitter can be turned off during reception (TSTAT.1 = 0). This  
simulates half-duplex operation when using a 16-bit CRC.  
Normally, HDLC uses a 16-bit CRC, so half duplex is determined by turning off the receiver or  
transmitter. This is so that the receiver will not detect its own address as transmission takes place.  
This also needs to be done when using CSMA/CD with a 16-bit CRC for the same reason.  
3.6.2 CPU/DMA CONTROL OF THE GSC  
The data for transmission or reception can be handled by either the CPU (TSTAT.0 = 0) or DMA  
controller (TSTAT.0 = 1). This allows the user two sets of flags to control the FIFO. Associated  
with these flags are interrupts, which may be enabled by the user software. Either one or both sets  
of flags may be used at the same time.  
In CPU control mode the flags (RFNE, TFNF) are generated by the condition of the receive or  
transmit FIFO’s. After loading a byte into the transmit FIFO, there is a one machine cycle latency  
until the TFNF flag is updated. Because of this latency, the status of TFNF should not be checked  
immediately following the instruction to load the transmit FIFO. If using the interrupts to service  
the transmit FIFO, the one machine cycle of latency must be considered if the TFNF flag is  
checked prior to leaving the subroutine.  
When using the CPU for control, transmission normally is initiated by setting TEN bit (TSTAT.1)

Technical Specifications  
and then writing to TFIFO. TEN must be set before loading the transmit FIFO, as setting TEN  
clears the transmit FIFO. TCDCNT should also be checked by user software and cleared if a col-  
lision occurred on a prior transmission.  
To enable the receiver, GREN (RSTAT.1) is set. After GREN is set, the GSC begins to look for a  
valid BOF. After detecting a valid BOF the GSC attempts to match the received address byte(s)  
against the address match registers. When a match occurs the frame is loaded into the GSC. Due  
to the CRC strip hardware, there is a 40 or 24 bit time delay following the BOF until the first data  
byte is loaded into RFIFO if the 32 or 16 bit CRC is chosen. If the end of frame is detected before  
data is loaded into the receive FIFO, the receiver ignores that frame.  
If the receiver detects a collision during reception in CSMA/CD mode and if any bytes have been  
loaded into the receive FIFO, the RCABT flag is set. The GSC hardware then halts reception and  
resets GREN. The user software needs to filter any collision fragment data which may have been  
received. If the collision occurred prior to the data being loaded into RFIFO the CPU is not noti-  
fied and the receiver is left enabled. At the end of a reception the RDN bit is set and GREN is  
cleared. In HABEN mode this causes an acknowledgment to be transmitted if the frame did not  
have a broadcast or multi-cast address. The user software can enable the interrupt for RDN to  
determine when a frame is completed.  
In DMA mode the interrupts are generated by the internal “transmit/receive done” (TDN,RDN)  
conditions. When the CPU responds to TDN or RDN, checks are performed to see if the transmit  
underrun error has occurred. The underrun condition is only checked when using the DMA chan-  
nels.  
Upon power up the CPU mode is initialized. General DMA control is covered in Section 4.0  
DMA control of the GSC is covered in Section 3.5.4. If DMA is to be used for serving the GSC, it  
must be configured into the serial channel demand mode and the DMA bit in TSTAT has to be set.  
3.6.3 COLLISIONS AND BACKOFF  
The actions that are taken by the GSC if a collision occurs while transmitting depend on where the  
collision occurs. If a collision occurs in CSMA/CD mode following the preamble and BOF flag,  
the TCDT flag is set and the transmit hardware completes a jam. When this type of collision  
occurs, there will be no automatic retry at transmission. After the jam, control is returned to the  
CPU and user software must then initiate whatever actions are necessary for a proper recovery.  
The possibility that data might have been loaded into or from the GSC deserves special consider-  
ation. If these fragments of a message have been passed on to other devices, user software may  
have to perform some extensive error handling or notification. Before starting a new message, the  
transmit and receive FIFOs will need to be cleared. If DMA servicing is being used the pointers  
must also be reinitialized. It should be noted that a collision should never occur after the BOF flag  
in a well designed system, since the system slot time will likely be less than the preamble length.  
The occurrence of such a situation is normally due to a station on the link that is not adhering to  
proper CSMA/CD protocol or is not using the same timing s as the rest of the network.  
A collision occurring during the preamble or BOF flag is the normal type of collision that is

Technical Specifications  
expected. When this type of collision occurs the GSC automatically handles the retransmission  
attempts for as many as eight tries. If on the eighth attempt a collision occurs, the transmitter is  
disabled, although the jam and back off are performed. If enabled, the CPU is then interrupted.  
The user software should then determine what action to take. The possibilities range from just  
reporting the error and aborting transmission to reinitializing the serial channel registers and  
attempt retransmission.  
If less than eight attempts are desired TCDCNT can be loaded with some value which will reduce  
the number of collisions possible before TCDCNT overflows. The value loaded should consist of  
all 1s as the least significant bits, e.g. 7, 0FH, 3FH. A solid block of 1s is suggested because TCD-  
CNT is used as a mask when generating the random slot number assignment. The TCDCNT reg-  
ister operates by shifting the contents one bit position to the left as each collision is detected. As  
each shift occurs a 1 is loaded into the LSB. When TCDCNT overflows, GSC operation stops and  
the CPU is notified by the setting of the TCDT bit which can flag an interrupt.  
The amount of time that the GSC has before it must be ready to retransmit after a collision is  
determined by the mode which is selected. The mode is determined M0 (GMOD.5) and M1  
(GMOD.6). If M0 and M1 equal 0,0 (normal backoff) then the minimum period before retrans-  
mission will be either the interframe space or the backoff period, whichever is longer. If M0 and  
M1 equal 1,1 (alternate backoff) then the minimum period before retransmission will be the inter-  
frame space plus the backoff period. Both of these are shown in table below. Alternate backoff  
must be enabled if using deterministic resolution. If the GSC is not ready to retransmit by the time  
its assigned slot becomes available, the slot time is lost and the station must wait until the colli-  
sion resolution time period has passed.

Instead of waiting for the collision resolution to pass, the transmission could be aborted. The deci-  
sion to abort is usually dependent on the number of stations on the link and how many collisions  
have already occurred. The number of collisions can be obtained by examining the register, TCD-  
CNT. The abort is normally implemented by clearing TEN. The new transmission begins by set-  
ting TEN and loading TFIFO. The minimum amount of time available to initiate a retransmission

Technical Specifications  
would be one interframe space period after the line is sensed as being idle.  
As the number of stations approach 256 the probability of a successful transmission decreases  
rapidly. If there are more than 256 stations involved in the collision there would be no resolution  
since at least two of the stations will always have the same backoff interval selected.  
All the stations monitor the link as long as that station is active, even if not attempting to transmit.  
This is to ensure that each station always defers the minimum amount of time before attempting a  
transmission and so that addresses are recognized. However, the collision detect circuitry operates  
slightly differently.  
In normal back-off mode, a transmitting station always monitors the link while transmitting. If a  
collision is detected one or more of the transmitting stations apply the jam signal and all transmit-  
ting stations enter the back-off algorithm. The receiving stations also constantly monitor for a col-  
lision but do not take part in the resolution phase. This allows a station to try to transmit in the  
middle of a resolution period. This in turn may or may not cause another collision. If the new sta-  
tion trying to transmit on the link does so during an unused slot time then there will probably not  
be a collision. If trying to transmit during a used slot time, then there will probably be a collision.  
The actions the receiver does take when detecting a collision is to just stop receiving data if data  
has not been loaded into RFIFO or to stop reception, clear receiver enable (REN) and set the  
receiver abort flag (RCABT - RSTAT.6).  
If deterministic resolution is used, the transmitting stations go through pretty much the same pro-  
cess as in normal back-off, except that the slots are predetermined. All the receivers go through  
the back-off algorithm and may only transmit during their assigned slot.  
3.6.4 SUCCESSFUL ENDING OF TRANSMISSIONS AND RECEPTIONS  
In both CSMA/CD and SDLC modes, the TDN bit is set and TEN cleared at the end of a success-  
ful transmission. The end of the transmission occurs when the TFIFO is empty and the last byte  
has been transmitted. In CSMA/CD the user should clear the TCDCNT register after successful  
transmission.  
At the end of a successful reception, the RDN bit is set and GREN is cleared. The end of reception  
occurs when the EOF flag is detected by the GSC hardware.  
3.7 GSC Register Descriptions  
ADR0,1,2,3 (95H, 0A5H, 0B5H, 0C5H) - Address Match Registers 0,1,2,3 - Contains the address  
match values which determines which data will be accepted as valid. In 8 bit addressing mode, a  
match with any of the four registers will trigger acceptance. In 16 bit addressing mode a match  
with ADR1:ADR0 or ADR3:ADR2 will be accepted. Addressing mode is determined in  
GMOD(AL).

bits. Writing a one to a bit in AMSK0,1 masks out that corresponding bit in ADDR0,1.  
BAUD (94H) -GSC Baud Rate Generator - Contains the value of the programmable baud rate.  
The data rate will equal (frequency of the oscillator)/((BAUD +1) x (8)). Writing to BAUD actu-  
ally stores the value in a reload register. The reload register contents are copied into the BAUD  
register when the Baud register decrements to 00H. Reading BAUD yields the current timer value.  
A read during GSC operation will give a value that may not be current because the timer could  
decrement between the time it is read by the CPU and by the time the value is loaded into its des-  
tination.  
BKOFF(OC4H) - Backoff Timer -The backoff timer is an eight bit count-down timer with a clock  
period equal to one slot time. The backoff time is used in the CSMA/CD collision resolution algo-  
rithm. The user software may read the timer but the value may be invalid as the timer is clocked  
asynchronously to the CPU. Writing to 0C4H will have no effect.

Alternate Backoff  
In raw receive mode, the receiver operates as normal except that all the bytes following the BOF  
are loaded into the receive FIFO, including the CRC. The transmitter operates as normal.  
In raw transmit mode the transmit output is internally connected to the receiver input. The internal  
connection is not at the actual port pin, but inside the port latch. All data transmitted is done with-  
out a preamble, flag or zero bit insertion, and without appending a CRC. The receiver operates as  
normal. Zero bit deletion is performed.  
In alternate backoff mode the standard backoff process is modified so the backoff is delayed until  
the end of the IFS. This should help to prevent collisions constantly happening because the IFS  
time is usually larger than the slot time.  
GMOD.7 (XTCLK) - External Transmit Clock -If set an external 1X clock is used for the trans-  
mitter. If cleared the internal baud rate generator provides the transmit clock. The input clock is  
applied to P1.3 (T X C). The user software is responsible for setting or clearing this flag. External  
receive clock is enabled by setting PCON.3  
IFS (0A4H) - Interframe Spacing - Determines the number of bit times separating transmitted  
frames in CSMA/CD and SDLC.A bit time is equal to 1/baud rate. Only even interframe space  
periods can be used. The number written into this register is divided by two and loaded in the  
most significant seven bits. Complete interframe space is obtained by counting this seven bit num-  
ber down to zero twice. A user software read of this register will give a value where the seven  
most significant bit shows a one for the first count-down and a zero for the second count. The  
value read may not be valid as the timer is clocked in periods not necessarily associated with the  
CPU read of IFS. Loading this register with zero results in 256 bit times.

isters must be initialized. User software must initialize TCDCNT with the maximum number of

PCON.3(XRCLK) -GSC External Receive Clock Enable- Writing a 1 to XRCLK enables an  
external clock to be applied to pin 5(Port 1.4). The external clock is used to determine when bits  
are loaded into the receiver.  
PCON.4 (GAREN) - GSC Auxiliary Receiver Enable Bit - This bit needs to be set to a 1 to enable  
the reception of back-to-back SDLC frames. A back-to-back SDLC frame is when the EOF and  
BOF is shared between two sequential frames intended for the same station on the link. If  
GAREN contains a 0 then the receiver will be disabled upon reception of the EOF and by the time  
user software re-enables the receiver the first bit(s) may have already passed, in the case of back-  
to-back frames. Setting GAREN to a 1, prevents the receiver from being disabled by the EOF but  
GREN will be cleared and can be checked by user software to determine that an EOF has been  
received. GAREN has no effect if the GSC is in CSMA/CD mode.  
PRBS (0E4H) - Pseudo-Random Binary Sequence - This register contains a pseudo-random num-  
ber to be used in the CSMA/CD backoff algorithm. The number is generated by using a feedback  
shift register clocked by the CPU phase clocks. Writing all ones to the PRBS will freeze the value  
at all ones. Writing any other value to it will restart the PRBS generator.The PRBS is initialized to  
all zero’s during RESET. A read of location 0E4H will not necessary give the seed used in the

internal serial-to-parallel converter) is not full and the CRC is bad when an EOF is detected. In  
CSMA/CD the EOF is a line idle condition (see LNI) for two bit times. If the CRC is correct  
while in CSMA/CD mode, AE is not set and any mis-alignment is assumed to be caused by drib-  
ble bits as the line went idle. In SDLC mode, AE is set if a non-byte-aligned flag is received.  
CRCE may also be set. The setting of this flag is controlled by the GSC.

RSTAT.6 (RCABT) - Receiver Collision/Abort Detect - If set, indicates that a collision was  
detected after data had been loaded into the receive FIFO in CSMA/CD mode. In SDLC mode,  
RCABT indicates that 7 consecutive ones were detected prior to the end flag but after data has  
been loaded into the receive FIFO. AE may also be set. The setting of this flag is controlled by the

TSTAT.4(TCDT) - Transmit Collision Detect - If set, indicates that the transmitter halted due to a  
collision. It is set if a collision occurs during the data or CRC or if there are more than eight colli-  
sions. The status of this flag is controlled by the GSC.  
TSTAT.5 (UR) - Underrun - If set, indicates that in DMA mode the last bit was shifted out of the  
transmit register and that the DMA byte count did not equal zero. When an underrun occurs, the  
transmitter halts without sending the CRC or the end flag. The status of this flag is controlled by  
the GSC.  
TSTAT.6 (NOACK) - No Acknowledge - If set, indicates that no acknowledge was received for  
the previous frame. Will be set only if HABEN is set and no acknowledge is received prior to the  
end of the IFS. NOACK is not set following a broadcast or a multicast packet. The status of this  
flag is controlled by the GSC.  
TSTAT.7(LNI) - Line Idle - If set, indicates the receive line is idle. In SDLC protocol it is set if 15  
consecutive ones are received. In CSMA/CD protocol, line idle is set if GR x D remains high for  
approximately 1.6 bit times. LNI is cleared after a transition on GR X D. The status of this flag is  
controlled by the GSC.

4.0 DMA Operation  
The C152 contains DMA (Direct Memory Accessing) logic to perform high speed data transfers  
between any two of  
Internal Data RAM  
Internal SFRs  
External Data RAM  
In external RAM is involved, the Port 2 and Port 0 pins are used as the address/data bus, and RD  
and WR signals are generated as required.  
Hardware is also implemented to generate a Hold Request signal and await a Hold Acknowledge  
response before commencing a DMA that involves external RAM.  
Alternatively, The Hold/Hold Acknowledge hardware can be programed to accept a Hold Request  
signal from an external device and generate a Hold Acknowledge signal in response, to indicate to  
the requesting device that the C152 will not commence a DMA to or from external RAM while  
the Hold Request is active.  
4.1 DMA with the 80C152  
The C152 contains two identical general purpose 8-it DMA channels with 16-bit address ability:  
DMA0 and DAM1. DMA transfers can be executed by either channel independent of the other,  
but only by one channel at a time. During the time that a DMA transfer is being executed, pro-  
gram execution is suspended. A DMA transfer takes one machine cycle (12 oscillator periods) per  
byte transferred, except when the destination and source are both in External Data RAM. In that  
case the transfer takes two machine cycles per byte. The term DMA Cycle will be used to mean  
the transfer of a single data byte, whether it takes 1 or 2 machine cycles.  
Associated with each channel are seven SFRs, shown below SARLn and SARHn holds the low  
and high bytes of the source address. Taken together they form a 16-bit Source Address Register.  
DARLn and DARHn hold the low and high bytes of the destination address, and together form the  
Destination Address Register. BCRLn and BCRHn hold the low and high bytes of the number of  
bytes to be transferred, and together form the Byte Count Register. DCONn contains control and  
flag bits.

Two bits in DCONn are used to specify the physical destination of the data transfer. These bits are  
DAS (Destination Address Space) and IDA (Increment Destination Address). If DAS = 0, the des-  
tination is in data memory external to the C152. If DAS = 1, the destination is internal to the  
C152. If DAS = 1 and IDA = 0, the internal destination is a Special Function Register (SFR). IF  
DAS = 1 and IDA =1, the internal destination is in the 256-byte data RAM.  
In any case, if IDA = 1, the destination address is automatically incremented after each byte trans-  
fer. If IDA = 0, it is not.  
Two other bits in DCONs specify the physical source of the data to be transferred. These are SAS  
(Source Address Space) and ISA (Increment Source Address). If SAS = 0, the source is in data  
memory external to the C152. If SAS = 1, the source is internal. If SAS = 1 and ISA = 0, the inter-  
nal source is an SFR. If SAS = 1 and ISA = 1, the internal source is in the 256-byte data RAM.  
In any case, if ISA = 1, the source address is automatically incremented after each byte transfer. If  
ISA = 0, it is not.  
The functions of these four control bits are summarized below:

Alternate Cycles Mode  
Burst Mode  
Serial Port Demand Mode  
External Demand Mode  
The operating modes are described below.  
4.1.1 ALTERNATE CYCLE MODE  
In Alternate Cycles Mode the DMA is initiated by setting the GO bit in DCONn. Following the  
instruction that set the GO bit, one more instruction is executed, and then the first data byte is  
transferred from the source address to the destination address. Then another instruction is exe-  
cuted, and then another byte of data is transferred, and so on in this manner.  
Each time a data byte is transferred, BCRn (Byte Count Register for DMA Channel n) is decre-  
mented. When it reaches 0000H, on-chip hardware clears the GO bit and sets the DONE bit, and  
the DMA ceases. The DONE bit flags an interrupt.  
4.1.2 BURST MODE  
Burst Mode differs from Alternate Cycles mode only in that once the data transfer has begun, pro-  
gram execution is entirely suspended until BCRn reaches 0000H, indicating that all data bytes  
that were to be transferred have been transferred. The interrupt control hardware remains active

Technical Specifications  
during the DMA, so interrupt flags may get set, but since program execution is suspended, the  
interrupts will not be serviced while the DMA is in progress.  
4.1.3 SERIAL PORT DEMAND MODE  
In this mode the DMA can be used to service the Local Serial Channel (LSC) or the Global Serial  
Channel (GSC).  
In Serial Port Demand Mode the DMA is initiated by any of the following conditions, if the GO  
bit is set:  
Source Address = SBUF  
.AND. RI = 1  
Destination Address = SBUF  
Source Address = RFIFO  
Destination Address = TFIFO  
.AND. TI = 1  
.AND. RFNE = 1  
.AND. TFNF = 1  
Each time one of the above conditions is met, one DMA Cycle is executed; that is, one data byte is  
transferred from the source address to the destination address. On-chip hardware then clears the  
flag (RI, TI, RFNE, or TFNF) that initiated the DMA, and decrements BCRn. Note that since the  
flag that initiated the DMA is cleared, it will not generate an interrupt unless DMA servicing may  
be held off when alternate cycle is being used or by the status of the HOLD/HLDA logic. In these  
situations the interrupt for the LSC may occur before the DMA can clear the RI or TI flag. This is  
because the LSC is serviced according to the status of RI and TI, whether or not the DMA chan-  
nels are being used for the transferring of data. The GSC does not use RFNE or TFNF flags when  
using the DMA channels so these do not need to be disabled. When using the DMA channels to  
service the LSC it is recommended that the interrupts (RI and TI) be disabled. If the decremented  
BCRn is 0000H, on-chip hardware then clears the GO bit and sets the DONE bit. The DONE bit  
flags an interrupt.  
4.1.4 EXTERNAL DEMAND MODE  
In External Demand Mode the DMA is initiated by one of the External Interrupt pins, provided  
the GO bit is set. INT0 initiates a Channel 0 DMA, and INT1 initiates a Channel 1 DMA.  
If the external interrupt is configured to be transition activated, then each 1-to-0 transition at the  
interrupt pin sets the corresponding external interrupt flag, and generates one DMA Cycle. Then,  
BCRn is decremented. No more DMA Cycles take place until another 1-to-0 transition is seen at  
the external interrupt pin. IF THE DECREMENTED bcrN = 0000H, on-chip hardware clears the  
GO bit and sets the DONE bit. If the external interrupt is enabled, it will be serviced.  
If the external interrupt is configured to be level-activated, then DMA Cycles commence when the  
interrupt pin is pulled low, and continue for as long as the pin is held low and BCRn is not 0000H.  
If BCRn reaches 0 while the interrupt pin is still low, the GO bit is cleared, the DONE bit is set,  
and the DMA ceases. If the external interrupt is enabled, it will be serviced.  
If the interrupt pin is pulled up before BCRn reaches 0000H, then the DMA ceases, but the GO bit

Technical Specifications  
is still 1 and the DONE bit is still 0. An external interrupt is not generated in this case, since in  
level-activated mode, pulling the pin to a logical 1 clears the interrupt flag. If the interrupt pin is  
then pulled low again, DMA transfers will continue from where they were previously stopped.  
The timing for the DMA Cycle in the transition - activated mode, or for the first DMA Cycle in  
the level-activated mode is as follows: If the 1-to-0 transition is detected before the final machine  
cycle of the instruction in progress, then the DMA commences as soon as the instruction in  
progress is completed. Otherwise, one more instruction will be executed before the DMA starts.  
No instruction is executed during any DMA Cycle.  
4.2 Timing Diagrams  
Timing diagrams for single-byte DMA transfers are shown in following figures for four kinds of  
DMA Cycles: internal memory to internal memory, internal memory to external memory, external  
memory to internal memory, and external memory to external memory. In each case we assume  
the C152 is executing out of external program memory. If the C152 is executing out of internal  
program memory, the PSEN is inactive, and the Port 0 and Port 2 pins emit P0 and P2 SFR data. If  
External Data Memory is involved, the Port 0 and Port 2 pins are used as the address/data bus, and  
RD and /or WR signals are generated as needed, in the same manner as in the execution of a  
MOVX @ DPTR instruction.

4.3 Hold/Hold Acknowledge  
Two operating modes of Hold/Hold Acknowledge logic are available, and either or neither may be  
invoked by software. In one mode, the C152 generates a Hold Request signal and awaits a Hold  
Acknowledge response before commencing a DMA that involves external RAM. This is called  
the Requester Mode.  
In the other mode, the C152 accepts a Hold Request signal from an external device and generates  
a Hold Acknowledge signal in response, to indicate to the requesting device that the C152 will not  
commence a DMA to or from external RAM while the Hold Request is active. This is called the  
Arbiter mode.  
4.3.1 REQUEST MODE  
The Requester Mode is selected by setting the control bit REQ, which resides in PCON. In that  
mode, when the C152 wants to do a DMA to External Data Memory, it first generates a Hold  
Request signal, HLD, and waits for a Hold Acknowledge signal, HLDA, before commencing the  
DMA operation. Note that program execution continues while HLDA is awaited. The DMA is not  
begun until a logical 0 is detected at the HLDA pin. Then, once the DMA has begun, it goes to  
completion regardless of the logic level at HLDA.  
The protocol is activated only for DMA (not for program fetches or MOVX operations), and only  
for DMAs to or from External Data Memory. If the data destination and source are both internal  
to the C152, the HLD/HLDA protocol is not used.  
The HLD output is an alternate function of port pin P1.5, and the HLDA input is an alternate  
function of port pin P1.6  
4.3.2 ARBITER MODE  
For DMAs that are to be driven by some device other than the C152, a different version of the  
Hold/Hold Acknowledge protocol is available. In this version, the device which is to drive the  
DMA sends a Hold Request signal, HLD, to the C152. I f the C152 is currently performing a  
DMA to or from External Data Memory, it will complete this DMA before responding to the Hold  
Request. When the C152 responds to the Hold Request, it does so by activating a Hold Acknowl-  
edge signal, HLDA. This indicates that the C152 will not commence a new DMA to or from  
External Data Memory while HLD remains active.  
Note that in the Arbiter Mode the C152 does not suspend program execution at all, even if it is  
executing from external program memory. It does not surrender use of its own bus.  
The Hold Request input, HLD, is at P1.5. The Hold Acknowledge output, HLDA, is at P1.6. This  
version of the Hold/Hold Acknowledge feature is selected by setting the control bit ARB in  
PCON.

4.3.3 USING THE HOLD/HLDA ACKNOWLEDGE  
The HOLD/HOLDA logic only affects DMA operation with external RAM and don’t affect other  
operations with external RAM, such as MOVX instruction.  
Figure shows a system in which two 83C152s are sharing a global RAM. In this system, both  
CPUs are executing from internal ROM. Neither CPU uses the bus except to access the shared  
RAM, and such accesses are done only through DMA operations, not by MOVX instructions.

4.3.4 INTERNAL LOGIC OF THE ARBITER  
The internal logic of the arbiter is shown in figure below. In operation an input low at HLD sets  
Q2 if the arbiter’s internal signal DMXRQ is low. DMXRQ is the arbiter’s “DMA to XRAM  
Request”. SettingQ2 activates HLDA through Q3. Q2 being set also disables any DMAs to  
XRAM that the arbiter might decide to do during the requester’s DMA.

When the arbiter wants to DMA the XRAM, it first activates DMXRQ. This signal prevents Q2  
from being set if it is not already set.An output low from Q2 enables the arbiter to carry out its  
DMA to XRAM, and maintains an output high at HLDA. When the arbiter completes its DMA,  
the signal DMXRQ goes to O, which enables Q2 to accept signals from the HLD input again.  
4.3.5 Internal Logic of the Requester  
The internal logic of the requester is shown below. Initially, the requester’s internal signal  
DMXRQ (DMA to XRAM Request) is at 0, so Q2 is set and the HLD output is high. As long as  
Q2 to be cleared (but doesn’t clear it), and, if HLDA is high, also activates the HLD output.

A 1-to-0 transition from HLDA can now clear Q2, which will enable the requester to commence  
its DMA to XRAM. Q2 being low also maintains an output low at HLD. When the DMA is com-  
pleted, DMXRQ goes to 0, which sets Q2 and de-activates HLD.  
Only DMXRQ going to 0 can set Q2. That means once Q2 gets cleared, enabling the requester’s  
DMA to proceed, the arbiter has no way to stop the requester’s DMA in progress. At this point,  
de-activating HLDA will have no effect on the requester’s use of the bus. Only the requester itself  
can stop the DMA in progress, and when it does, it de-activates both DMXRQ and HLD.

Technical Specifications  
If the DMA is in alternate cycles mode, then each time DMA cycle is completed DMXRQ goes to  
0, thus de-activating HLD. Once HLD has been de-activate, it can’t be re-asserted till after HLDA  
has been to go high (through flip-flop Q1A). Thus every time the DMA is suspended to allow an  
instruction cycle to proceed, the requester gives up the bus and must renew the request and receive  
another acknowledge before another DMA cycle to XRAM can proceed. Obviously in this case,  
the “alternate cycles” mode may consist of single DMA cycles separated by any number of  
instruction cycles, depending on how long it takes the requester to regain the bus.  
A channel 1 DMA in progress will always be overridden by a DMA request of any kind from  
channel 0. If a channel 1 DMA to XRAM is in progress and is over-ridden by a channel 0 DMA  
which does not require the bus, DMXRQ will go to 0 during the channel 0 DMA, thus de-activat-  
ing HLD. Again, the requester must re-new its request for the bus, and must receive a new 1-to-0  
transition in HLDA before channel 1 can continue its DMA to XRAM.  
4.4 DMA Arbitration  
The DMA Arbitration described in this section is not arbitration between two devices wanting to  
access a shared RAM, but on-chip arbitration between the two DMA channels on the 8XC152.  
The 8XC152 provides two DMA channels, either of which may be called into operation at any  
time in response to real time conditions in the application circuit. Since a DMA cycle always uses  
the 8XC152’s internal bus, and there’s only one internal bus, only one DMA channel can be ser-  
viced during a single DMA cycle. Executing program instructions also requires the internal bus,  
so program execution will also be suspended in order for a DMA to take place.

Cycle is executed, on-chip arbitration logic determines which type of cycle is to be executed next.  
Note that when an instruction is executed, if the instruction wrote to a DMA register (excluding  
PCON), then another instruction is executed without further arbitration. Therefore, a single write  
or a series of writes to DMA registers will prevent a DMA from taking place, and will continue to  
prevent a DMA from taking place until at least one instruction is executed which does not write to  
any DMA register.  
The logic that determines whether the next cycle will be a DMA0 cycle, a DMA1 cycle, or an  
Instruction Cycle is shown as a pseudo-HLL function. The statements are executed sequentially  
unless an “if” condition is satisfied, in which case the corresponding “return” is executed and the  
remainder of the function is not. The return value of 0,1, or 2 is passed to the arbitration logic  
block to determine which exit path from the block is used.

If the channel is configured to External Demand mode, then the first if-condition is not satisfied  
but the second one is. In that case the block of statements following that if-condition and delim-

“return 1” expression is executed and the remainder of the function is not. If the demand flag is  
not set, the “return 0” expression is executed and the remainder of the function is not.  
If the channel is configured to Serial Port Demand mode, the source and destination addresses,  
SARn and DARn, have to be checked to see which Serial Port buffer is being addressed, and  
whether its demand flag is set.  
SARn refers to the 16-bit source address for “this channel”. Note that the condition “SARn =  
SBUF” cannot be true unless the SAS and IAS bits in DOCNn are configured to select SFR space.  
If SARn is numerically equal to the address of SBUF(99H), and SAS and ISA are configured to  
select internal RAM rather than SFR space, then SARn refers to location 99H in the “upper 128”  
of internal RAM, not to SBUF.

If the test for SARn = SBUF is true, and if the flag RI is set, mode_logic (n) returns as 1 and the  
remainder of the function is not executed. Otherwise, execution proceeds to then exit if-condition,  
testing DARn against SBUF and T1 against 1.  
The same considerations regarding SAS and ISA in the SARn test are now applied to DAS and  
IDA in the DARn test. If SFR space isn’t selected, no Serial Port buffer is being addressed.  
Note that if DMA channel n is configured to Alternate Cycles mode, the logic must examine the  
other DCON register, DCONm, to determine if the other channel is also configured to Alternate  
Cycles mode and whether its GO bit is set. In the previous figure, the symbol DCONn refers to the  
DCON register for “this channel,” and DCONm refers to “the other channel.”  
A careful examination of the logic will reveal some idiosyncrasies that the user should be aware  
of. First, the logic allows sequential DMA cycles to be generated to service RFIFO, but not to ser-  
vice TFIFO. This idiosyncrasy is due to internal timing conflicts, and results in each individual  
DMA cycle to TFIFO having to be immediately preceded by an Instruction cycle. The logic disal-  
lows that there be two DMAs to TFIFO in a row.  
If the user is unaware of this idiosyncrasy, it can cause problems in situations where one DMA  
channel is servicing TFIFO and the other is configured to a completely different mode of opera-  
tion.  
For example, consider the situation where channel 0 is configured to service TFIFO and channel 1  
is configured to Alternate Cycles mode. Then DMAs to TFIFO will always override the alternate  
cycles of channel 1. If TFIFO needs more than 1 byte it will receive them in precedence over  
channel 1, but each DMA to TFIFO must be preceded by an Instruction cycle. The sequence of  
cycles might be:  
DMA1 cycle  
Instruction cycle  
DMA 1 cycle, during which TFNF gets set  
Instruction cycle  
DMA0 cycle  
Instruction cycle  
DMA0 cycle, as a result of which TFNF gets cleared  
Instruction cycle  
DMA1 cycle  
Instruction cycle  
DMA1 cycle  
Instruction cycle  
......  
The requirement that a DMA to TFIFO be preceded by an Instruction cycle can result in the nor-  
mal precedence of channel 0 over channel 1 being thwarted. Consider for example the situation  
where channel 0 is configured to service TFIFO, and is in the process of doing so, and channel 1

decides it wants to do Burst mode DMA. The sequence of events might be:  
Instruction cycle (sets GO bit in DCON1)  
Instruction cycle (during which TFNF gets set)  
DMA0 cycle  
DMA1 cycle  
DMA1 cycle  
DMA1 cycle  
......  
DMA1 cycle (completes channel 1 burst)  
Instruction cycle  
DMA0 cycle  
Instruction cycle  
...........  
This sequence begins with two Instruction cycles. The first one accesses a DMA register  
(DCON1), and therefore is followed by another Instruction cycle, which presumably does not  
access a DMA register. After the second Instruction cycle both channels are ready to generate  
DMA cycles, and channel 0 of course takes precedence. After the DM0 cycle, channel 0 must  
wait for an Instruction cycle before it can access TFIFO again. Channel 1, being in Burst mode,  
doesn’t have that restriction, and is therefore granted a DMA1 cycle. After the first DMA1 cycle,  
channel 0 is still waiting for an Instruction cycle and channel 1 still does not have that restriction.  
There follows another DMA1 cycle.  
The result is that in this particular case channel 0 has to wait until channel 1 completes its Burst  
mode DMA, and then has to wait for an Instruction cycle to be generated, before it can continue  
its own DMA to TFIFO. The delay in servicing TFFIO can cause an Underflow condition in the  
GSC transmission.  
The delay will not occur if channel 1 is configured to Alternate Cycles mode, since channel 0  
would then see the Instruction cycles it needs to complete its logic requirements for asserting its  
request.  
4.4.1 DMA Arbitration with Hold/Hold Ack  
The Hold/Hold Acknowledge feature is invoked by setting either the ARB or REQ bit in PCON.  
Their effect is to add the requirements of the Hold/Hold Ack protocol to mode_logic ( ). This  
amounts to replacing every expression “return 1” in with the expression “return hld_hlda_logic (  
) “, where hld_hlda_logic ( ) is a function which returns 1 if the Hold/Hold Ack protocol is satis-  
fied, and returns 0 otherwise. A suitable definition for hld_hlda_logic () is shown in Figure 4.14.

DAS  
DCONs  
DM  
TM  
IDA  
ISA  
DONE  
GO  
SAS  
DAS specifies the Destination Address Space. If DAS = 0, the destination is in External Data  
Memory. If DAS = 1 and IDA = 0, the destination is a Special Function Register (SFR). If DAS =  
1 and IDA = 1, the destination is in Internal Data RAM.  
IDA (Increment Destination Address) If IDA= 1, the destination address is automatically incre-  
mented after each byte transfer. If IDA = 0, It is not.  
SAS specifies the Source Address Space. If SAS = 0, the source is in External Data Memory. If  
SAS = 1 and ISA = 0, the source is an SFR. If SAS = 1 and ISA = 0, the source is an SFR. If SAS  
= 1 and ISA = 1, the source is Internal Data RAM.  
ISA (Increment Source Address) If ISA = 1, the source address is automatically incremented after  
each byte transfer. If ISA = 0, it is not.  
DM (Demand Mode) If DM = 1, the DMA Channel operates in Demand Mode. In Demand Mode  
the DMA is initiated either by an external signal or by a Serial Port Flag, depending on the value  
of the TM bit. If DM = 0, the DMA is requested by setting the GO bit in software.  
TM (Transfer Mode) If DM = 1 then TM selects whether a DMA is initiated by an external signal  
(TM = 1) or by a Serial Port flag (TM =0). If DM = 0 then TM selects whether the data transfers  
are to be in bursts (TM = 1) or in alternate cycles (TM = 0).  
DONE indicates the completion of a DMA operation and flags an interrupt. It is set to 1 by on-  
chip hardware when BCRn = 0, and is cleared to 0 by on-chip hardware when the interrupt is vec-  
tored to. It can also be set or cleared by software.  
GO is the enable bit for the DMA Channel itself. The DMA Channel is inactive if GO= 0.

ARB enables the DMA logic to detect HLD and generate HLDA. After it has activated HLDA,  
the C152 will not begin a new DMA to or from External Data Memory as long as HLD is seen to  
be active. This logic is disabled when ARB = 0, and enabled when ARB = 1.  
REQ enables the DMA logic to generate HLD and detect HLDA before performing a DMA to or  
from External Data Memory. After it has activated HLD, the C152 will not begin the DMA until  
HLDA is seen to be active. This logic is disabled when REQ = 0, and enabled when REQ = 1.  
5.0 INTERRUPT STRUCTURE  
The 8XC152 retains all five interrupts of the 80C51BH. Six new interrupts are added in the

Technical Specifications  
As shown in Figure above, the Receive Valid interrupt can be signalled either by the RFNE flag  
(Receive FIFO Not Empty), or by the RDN flag (Receive Done). Which one of these flags causes  
the interrupt depends on the setting of the DMA bit in the SFR named TSTAT.  
DMA = 0 means the DMA hardware is not configured to service the GSC, so the CPU will service  
it in software in response to the Receive FIFO not being empty. In that case, RFNE generates the  
Receive Valid interrupt.  
DMA = 1 means the DMA hardware is configured to service the GSC, in which case the CPU  
need not be interrupted till the receive is complete. In that case RDN generates the Receive Valid  
interrupt.  
Similarly the Transmit Valid interrupt can be signalled either by the TFNF flag (Transmit FIFO  
Not Full), or by the TDN flag (Transmit Done), depending on whether the DMA bit is 0 or 1.  
Note that setting the DMA bit does not itself configure the DMA channels to service the GSC.  
That job must be done by software writes to the DMA registers. the DMA bit only selects whether  
the GSCRV and GSCTV interrupts are flagged by a FIFO needing service or by an “operation  
done” signal.  
The Receive and Transmit Error interrupt flags are generated by the logical OR of a number of  
error conditions, which are described in Section 3.6.5.  
Each interrupt is assigned a fixed location in Program Memory, and the interrupt causes the CPU  
to jump to that location. All the interrupt flags are sampled at S5P2 of every machine cycle, and  
then the samples are sequentially polled during the next machine cycle. If more than one interrupt  
of same priority is active, the one that is highest in the polling sequence is serviced first. The inter-  
rupts and their fixed locations in Program Memory are listed below in the order of their polling  
sequence

Note that the locations of the basic 8051 interrupts are the same as in the rest of the MCS-51 Fam-  
ily. And relative to each other they retain the same positions in the polling sequence.  
The locations of the new interrupts all follow the locations the basic 8051 interrupts in the Pro-  
gram Memory, but they are interleaved with them in the polling sequence.  
To support the new interrupts a second Interrupt Enable register and A second Interrupt Priority

It is recommended that user software should never write 1s to unimplemented bits in MCS-51  
devices. Further versions of the device may have new bits installed in these locations. If so, their  
reset value will be 0. Old software that writes 1s to newly implemented bits may unexpectedly  
invoke new features.  
The MCS-51 interrupt structure provides hardware support for only two priority levels, High and  
Low. With as many interrupt sources as the 8XC152 has, it may be helpful to know how to aug-  
ment the priority structure in the software. Any number of priority levels can be implemented in  
software by saving and redefining the interrupt enable registers within the interrupt service rou-  
tines.  
5.1 GSC Transmitter Error Conditions  
The GSC Transmitter section reports three kinds of error conditions:  
TCDT - Transmitter Collision Detector  
UR - Underrun in Transmit FIFO  
NOACK - No Acknowledge  
These bits reside in the TSTAT register. User software can read them, but only the GSC hardware  
can write to them. The GSC hardware will set them in response to the various error conditions that  
they represent. When the user software sets the TEN bit, the GSC hardware will at that time clear  
these flags. This is the only way these flags can be cleared.  
The logical OR of these three bits flags the GSC Transmit Error interrupt (GSCTE) and clears the  
TEN bit, as shown in Figure below. Thus any detected error condition aborts the transmission. No  
CRC bits are transmitted. In the SDLC mode an EOF is generated. In CSMA/CD mode an EOF is  
generated by default, since the GTXD pin is pulled to a logic 1 and held there.

Transmit Error Flags  
The TCDT bit can get set only if the GSC is configured to CSMA/CD mode. In that case the GSC  
hardware sets the TCDT when a collision is detected during a transmission, and the collision was  
detected after TFIFO has been accessed. Also, the GSC hardware sets TCDT when a detected col-  
lision causes the TCDCNT register to overflow.

Ver. 0.9 KS152JB2  
KS152JB Universal Communications Controller  
Technical Specifications  
The UR bit can be set only if the DMA bit in the TSTAT is set. The DMA bit being set informs the  
GSC hardware that TFIFO is being serviced by DMA. In that case if the GSC goes to fetch  
another byte from TFIFO and finds it empty, and the byte count register of the DMA channel ser-  
vicing TFIFO is not zero, it sets the UR bit.  
If the DMA hardware is not being used to service TFIFO, the UR bit cannot get set. If the DMA  
bit is 0, then when the GSC finds TFIFO empty, it assumes that the transmission of data is com-  
plete and the transmission of CRC bits can begin.  
The NOACK bit is functional only in CSMA/CD mode, and only when the HABEN bit in RSTAT  
is set. The HABEN bit turns on the Hardware Based Acknowledge feature, as described in Sec-  
tion 3.2.6. If this feature is not invoked, the NOACK bit will stay at 0.  
If the NOACK bit gets set, it means the GSC has completed a transmission, and was expecting to  
receive a hardware based acknowledge from the receiver of the message, but did not receive the  
acknowledge, or at least did not receive it cleanly. There are three ways the NOACK can get set:  
1. The acknowledge signal (an unattached preamble) was not received before the IFS was com-  
plete.  
2. A collision was detected during the IFS  
3. The line was active during the last bit-time of the IFS  
The first condition is an obvious reason for setting the NOACK bit, since that’s what the hardware  
based acknowledge is for. The other two ways the NOACK bit can get set are to guard against the  
possibility that the transmitting station might mistake an unrelated transmission or transmission  
fragment for an acknowledge signal.  
5.2 GSC Receiver Error Conditions  
The GSC Receiver section reports four kinds of error conditions:  
CRCE - CRC error  
AE - Alignment Error  
RCABT - Receive Abort  
OVR - Overrun in Receive FIFO  
These bits reside in the RSTAT register. User software can read them, but only GSC hardware can  
write to them. The GSC hardware will set them in response to the various error conditions that  
they represent. When user software sets the GREN bit, the GSC hardware will at that time clears  
these flags. This is the only way these flags can be cleared.  
The logical OR of these four bits flags the GSC Receive Error interrupt (GSCRE) and clears the  
GREN bit, as shown in Figure below. Note in this figure that any error condition will prevent

Receive Error Flag  
A CRC Error means the CRC generator did not come to its correct value after calculating the  
CRC of the message plus received CRC. An alignment error means the number of bits received  
between the BOF and EOF was not a multiple of 8.  
In SDLC mode, the CRC bit gets set at the end of any frame in which there is a CRC error, and the  
AE bit gets set at the end of any frame in which there is an Alignment Error.  
In CSMA/CD mode, if there is no CRC Error, neither CRCE nor AE will get set. If there is a CRC  
error and no Alignment Error, the CRCE bit will get set, but not the AE bit. If there is both a CRC  
Error and an Alignment Error, then the AE bit will get set, but not the CRCE bit. Thus in CSMA/  
CD mode, the CRCE and AE bits are mutually exclusive.  
The Receive Abort flag, RCABT, gets set if an incoming frame was interrupted after received data  
had already passed to the Receive FIFO. In the SDLC mode, this can happen if a line idle condi-  
tion is detected before an EOF flag is. In CSMA/CD mode, this can happen if there is a collision.  
In either case, the CPU will have to re-initialize whatever pointers and counters it might have been  
using.  
The Overrun Error flag, OVR, gets set if the GSC Receiver is ready to push a newly received byte  
onto the Receive FIFO, but the FIFO is full.  
Up to 7 “dribble bits” can be received after the EOF without causing an error condition.

ADR0,1,2,3 (95H, 0A5H, 0B5H, 0C5H) - Address Match Registers 0, 1, 2, 3 - The contents of  
these SFR’s are compared against the address bits from the serial data on the GSC. If the address  
matches the SFR, then the C152 accepts that frame. If in 8 bit addressing mode a match with any  
of the four registers will trigger acceptance. In the 16 bit addressing mode, a match with  
ADR1:ADR0 or ADR3:ADR2 will be accepted. Address length is determined by GMOD (AL).

The DCON register control the operation of the DMA channels by determining the source of data  
to be transferred, the destination of the data to be transfer, and the various modes of operation.  
DCON.0 (GO) - Enables DMA Transfer - When set it enables a DMA channel. If block mode is  
set then DMA transfer starts as soon as possible under CPU control. If demand mode is set then  
DMA transfer starts when a demand is asserted and recognized.  
DCON.1 (DONE) - DMA Transfer is Complete - When set the DMA transfer is complete. It is set  
when BCR equals 0 and is automatically reset when the DMA vectors to its interrupt routine. If  
DMA interrupt is disabled and user software executes a jump on the DONE bit, then the user soft-  
ware must also reset the done bit. If DONE bit is not set, then the DMA transfer is not complete.  
DCON.2 (TM) - Transfer Mode - When set, DMA burst transfers are used if the DMA channel is  
configured in the block mode or external interrupts are used to initiate a transfer if in Demand  
Mode. When TM is cleared, Alternate cycle transfers are used if DMA is in the Block Mode, or  
Local Serial Channel/GSC interrupts are used to initiate a transfer if in Demand Mode.  
DCON.3 (DM) - DMA Channel Mode - When set, Demand Mode is used and when cleared Block  
Mode is used.  
DCON.4 (ISA) - Increment Source Address - When set, the source address registers are automat-  
ically incremented during each transfer. When cleared the source registers are not incremented.  
DCON.5 (SAS) - Source Address Space - When set the source of data for the DMA transfers is  
internal data memory if autoincrement is also set. If auto increment is not set but SAS is, then the  
source for the data will be one of the Special Function Register. When SAS is cleared, the source  
for the data is external data memory.  
DCON.6 (IDA) - Increment destination Address Space - When set, destination address registers  
are incremented once after each byte is transferred. When cleared, the destination address regis-  
ters are not automatically incremented.  
DCON.7 (DAS) - Destination Address Space - When set, destination of data to be transferred is  
internal data memory if autoincrement mode is also set. If auto increment is not set the destination  
will be one of the Special Function Registers. When DAS is cleared then the destination is exter-  
nal data memory

GREN has no effect on whether the receiver detects a collision in CSMA/CD mode as the receiver  
input circuitry always monitors the receive pin.  
RSTAT.2 (RFNE) - Receive FIFO Not Empty - If set, indicates that the receive FIFO contains data.  
The receive FIFO is a three byte buffer into which the receive data is loaded. A CPU read of the  
FIFO retrieves the oldest data and automatically updates the FIFO pointers. Setting GREN to a one  
will clear the receive FIFO. The status of this flag is controlled by the GSC. This bit is cleared if  
the user software empties receive FIFO.  
RSTAT.3 (RDN) - Receive Done - If set, indicates the successful completion of a receiver opera-  
tion. Will not ne set is a CRC, alignment, abort or FIFO overrun error occurred.  
RSTAT.4 (CRCE) - CRC Error - If set, indicates that a properly aligned frame was received with a  
mismatched CRC.  
RSTAT.5 (AE) - Alignment Error - In CSMA/CD mode, AE is set if the receiver shift register (an  
internal serial-to-parallel converter) is not full and CRC is bad when an EOF is detected. In CSMA/  
CD the EOF is a line idle condition (see LNI) for two bit times. If the CRC is correct while in  
CSMA/CD mode, AE bit is not set and any mis-alignment us assumed to be caused by dribble bits  
as the line went idle. in SDLC mode. AE is set if a non-byte-aligned flag is received. CRC may also  
be set. The setting of this flag is controlled by the GSC.  
RSTAT.6 (RCABT) - Receiver Collision/Abort Detect - If set, indicates a collision was detected  
after data had been loaded into the receive FIFO in CSMA/CD mode. In SDLC mode, RCABT  
indicates that 7 consecutive 1’s were detected prior to the end of flag but after data has been loaded  
into the receive FIFO. AE may also be set if RCABT is set.  
RSTAT.7 (OVR) - Overrun - If set, indicates that the receive FIFO was full and new shift register  
data was written into it. It is cleared by the user software. AE and/or CRCE may also be set if OVR  
is set.

TSTAT.0 (DMA) - DMA Select - If set, indicates that DMA channels are used to service the GSC  
FIFO’s and GSC interrupts occur on TDN and RDN, and also enables UR to become set. If cleared,  
indicates that the GSC is operating in it normal mode and interrupt occur on TFNE and RFNE. For  
more information on DMA servicing please refer to DMA section on DMA serial demand mode  
(4.2.2.3).  
TSTAT.1 (TEN) - Transmit Enable - When set, causes TDN, UR, TCDT and NOACK flags to be  
reset and TFIFO cleared. The transmitter will clear TEN after a successful transmission, a collision  
during the data, CRC, or end flag. If cleared during transmission the GSC transmit pin goes to a  
steady state high level. This is the method used to send an abort character in SDLC. Also DEN is  
forced to high level. The end of transmission occurs whenever the TFIFO is emptied.  
TSTAT.2 (TFNF) - Transmit FIFO Not Full - When set, indicates that the new data may be written  
into the transmit FIFO. The transmit FIFO is a three byte buffer that loads the transmit shift register  
with data.  
TSTAT.3 (TDN) - Transmit Done - When set, indicates the successful completion of a frame trans-  
mission. If HBAEN is set, TDN will not be set until the end of the IFS following the transmitted  
message, so that the acknowledgment can be checked. If an acknowledgment is nor expected fol-  
lowing a broadcast or multi-cast packet.  
TSTAT.4 (TCDT) - Transmit Collision Detect- If set, indicates that the transmitter halted due to  
collision. It is set if a collision occurs during the data or CRC or is there are more than eighth col-  
lisions.  
TSTAT.5 (UR) - Underruns - If set, indicates that in the DMA mode last bit was shifted out of the  
transmit register and the DMA byte count did not equal zero. When an underrun occurs, the trans-  
mitter halts without sending the CRC or the end flag.  
TSTAT.6 (NOACK) - No Acknowledge - If set, indicates that no acknowledgment was received for  
the previous frame. Will be set only if HBAEN is set and no acknowledge is received prior to the  
end of the IFS. NOACK is not set following a broadcast or multicast packet.  
TSTAT.7 (LNI) - Line Idle - If set, indicates that the receive line is idle. In SDLC protocol it is set  
if 15 consecutive ones are received. In CSMA/CD protocol, line idle is set if GRxD remains high  
for approximately 1.6 bit times. LNI is cleared after a transition on GSxD.

Multiple MCU communication: Setting this bit to 1 enables the multiprocessor com-  
munication feature in mode 2 and 3. In mode 2 or 3, if SM2 is set to 1, then RI will not  
be activated if the received 9th data bit (RB8) is 0. In mode 1, if SM2 = 1, then RI will  
not be activated if a valid stop bit was not received.

In modes 2 and 3 this is the received 9th data bit. In mode 1, if SM2 = 0, RB8 is the  
stop bit that was received. In mode 0 it has no function.  
Transmit interrupt flag: This flag is set by hardware at the end of the 8th bit time in  
mode 0, or at the beginning of the stop bit in all other modes during serial transmis-  
sion. This bit must be cleared by software.  
RI  
Receive interrupt flag: This flag is set by hardware at the end of the 8th bit time in  
mode 0, or halfway through the stop bits time in the other modes during serial recep-  
tion. However the restrictions of SM2 applies on this bit. This bit can be cleared only  
by software
