STA8100GA

General description

3.8

SSP

STA8100GA has one Synchronous Serial Ports (SSPs). The SSP is a master or slave

interface that enables synchronous serial communication with slave or master peripherals

having one of the following:

•

Serial peripheral interface bus standards

•

Synchronous serial protocol bus standards

•

Micro-wire interface bus standards

•

Unidirectional interface

In both master and slave configurations, the SSP has the following features:

•

Parallel-to-serial conversion on data written to an internal 32-bit wide, 32-location deep

transmit FIFO

•

Serial-to-parallel conversion on received data, buffering it in a 32-bit wide, 32-location

deep receive FIFO

•

Programmable data frame size from 4 to 32 bits

•

Programmable clock bit rate and pre-scaler

•

Programmable clock phase and polarity in SPI mode

•

Support for direct memory access (DMA)

3.9

UART

The UARTx performs serial-to-parallel conversion on data asynchronously received from a

peripheral device on UARTx_RX pin, and parallel-to-serial conversion on data written by

CPU for transmission on UARTx_TX pin. The transmit and receive paths are buffered with

internal FIFO memories allowing up to 64 data byte for transmission, and 64 data byte with

4-bit status (break, frame, parity, and overrun) for receive. FIFOs may be burst-loaded or

emptied by the system processor or DMA, from one to sixteen words per transfer.

3.10

Watchdog Timer (WDT)

Watchdog Timer (WDT) provides a way of recovering from software crashes. The watchdog

clock is used to generate a regular interrupt (Irq_wdt), depending on a programmed value.

The watchdog monitors the interrupt and asserts a HW reset signal (WDOGRES) if the

interrupt remains unserviced for the entire programmed period. The WDT is counting down

at a fixed frequency of 32.768 kHz.

The watchdog timer peripheral can be used as free-running timer or as watchdog to resolve

processor malfunctions due to hardware or software failures.

Feature set overview:

•

16-bit down counter

•

8-bit clock pre-scaler

•

Safe reload sequence

•

Free-running timer mode

•

End of counting interrupt generation
