USART - Synchronous/Asynchronous Serial

Description

Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter Peripheral API.

The Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (USART) is a very flexible serial I/O module. It supports full duplex asynchronous UART communication as well as RS-485, SPI, MicroWire, and 3-wire. It can also interface with ISO7816 Smart-Cards, and IrDA devices.

The USART has a wide selection of operating modes, frame formats, and baud rates. All features are supported through the API of this module.

Triple buffering and DMA support makes high data-rates possible with minimal CPU intervention. It is possible to transmit and receive large frames while the MCU remains in EM1 Sleep.

This module does not support DMA configuration. The UARTDRV and SPIDRV drivers provide full support for DMA and more.

The following steps are necessary for basic operation:

Clock enable:

#if !defined(_SILICON_LABS_32B_SERIES_2)
/* USART is a HFPERCLK peripheral. Enable HFPERCLK domain and USART0.
* We also need to enable the clock for GPIO to configure pins. */
CMU_ClockEnable (cmuClock_HFPER, true );
CMU_ClockEnable ( cmuClock_USART0 , true );
CMU_ClockEnable ( cmuClock_GPIO , true );
#endif

To initialize the USART for asynchronous operation (e.g., UART):

/* Initialize with default settings and then update fields according to application requirements. */
USART_InitAsync_TypeDef initAsync = USART_INITASYNC_DEFAULT ;
initAsync. baudrate = 38400;
USART_InitAsync (USART0, &initAsync);

To initialize the USART for synchronous operation (e.g., SPI):

/* Initialize with default settings and then update fields according to application requirements. */
USART_InitSync_TypeDef initSync = USART_INITSYNC_DEFAULT ;
/* Operate as SPI master */
initSync. master = true ;
/* Clock idle low, sample on falling edge. */
initSync. clockMode = usartClockMode1 ;
USART_InitSync (USART0, &initSync);

After pins are assigned for the application/board, enable pins at the desired location. Available locations can be obtained from the Pin Definitions section in the data sheet.

Note
UARTDRV supports all types of UART flow control. Software assisted hardware flow control is available for parts without true UART hardware flow control.

Function Documentation

◆ USART_BaudrateAsyncSet()

void USART_BaudrateAsyncSet ( USART_TypeDef * usart,
uint32_t refFreq,
uint32_t baudrate,
USART_OVS_TypeDef ovs
)

Configure USART/UART operating in asynchronous mode to use a given baudrate (or as close as possible to a specified baudrate).

Parameters
[in] usart A pointer to the USART/UART peripheral register block.
[in] refFreq USART/UART reference clock frequency in Hz. If set to 0, the currently configured reference clock is assumed.
[in] baudrate Baudrate to try to achieve for USART/UART.
[in] ovs Oversampling to be used. Normal is 16x oversampling but lower oversampling may be used to achieve higher rates or better baudrate accuracy in some cases. Notice that lower oversampling frequency makes the channel more vulnerable to bit faults during reception due to clock inaccuracies compared to the link partner.

◆ USART_BaudrateCalc()

uint32_t USART_BaudrateCalc ( uint32_t refFreq,
uint32_t clkdiv,
bool syncmode,
USART_OVS_TypeDef ovs
)

Calculate baudrate for USART/UART given reference frequency, clock division, and oversampling rate (if async mode).

This function returns the baudrate that a USART/UART module will use if configured with the given frequency, clock divisor, and mode. Notice that this function will not use the hardware configuration. It can be used to determine if a given configuration is sufficiently accurate for the application.

Parameters
[in] refFreq USART/UART HF peripheral frequency used.
[in] clkdiv A clock division factor to be used.
[in] syncmode
  • True - synchronous mode operation.
  • False - asynchronous mode operation.
[in] ovs Oversampling used if in asynchronous mode. Not used if syncmode is true.
Returns
Baudrate with given settings.

◆ USART_BaudrateGet()

uint32_t USART_BaudrateGet ( USART_TypeDef * usart )

Get the current baudrate for USART/UART.

This function returns the actual baudrate (not considering oscillator inaccuracies) used by a USART/UART peripheral.

Parameters
[in] usart A pointer to the USART/UART peripheral register block.
Returns
The current baudrate.

◆ USART_BaudrateSyncSet()

void USART_BaudrateSyncSet ( USART_TypeDef * usart,
uint32_t refFreq,
uint32_t baudrate
)

Configure the USART operating in synchronous mode to use a given baudrate (or as close as possible to a specified baudrate).

The configuration will be set to use a baudrate <= the specified baudrate to ensure that the baudrate does not exceed the specified value.

The fractional clock division is suppressed, although the hardware design allows it. It could cause half clock cycles to exceed a specified limit and thus potentially violate specifications for the slave device. In some special situations, a fractional clock division may be useful even in synchronous mode, but in those cases it must be directly adjusted, possibly assisted by USART_BaudrateCalc() :

Parameters
[in] usart A pointer to the USART peripheral register block. (Cannot be used on UART modules.)
[in] refFreq A USART reference clock frequency in Hz that will be used. If set to 0, the currently-configured reference clock is assumed.
[in] baudrate Baudrate to try to achieve for USART.

◆ USART_Enable()

void USART_Enable ( USART_TypeDef * usart,
USART_Enable_TypeDef enable

Notice that possible parity/stop bits in asynchronous mode are not considered part of a specified frame bit length.

Note

◆ USART_RxDataGet()

uint8_t USART_RxDataGet ( USART_TypeDef * usart )
inline

Receive one 4-8 bit frame, (or part of 10-16 bit frame).

This function is used to quickly receive one 4-8 bits frame by reading the RXDATA register directly, without checking the STATUS register for the RXDATAV flag. This can be useful from the RXDATAV interrupt handler, i.e., waiting is superfluous, in order to quickly read the received data. Please refer to USART_RxDataXGet() for reception of 9 bit frames.

Notice that possible parity/stop bits in asynchronous mode are not considered part of specified frame bit length.
Parameters
[in] usart Pointer to USART/UART peripheral register block.
Returns
Data received.

Parameters
[in] usart A pointer to the USART/UART peripheral register block.
[in] data Data to transmit. See details above for more information.

◆ USART_TxDouble()

void USART_TxDouble ( USART_TypeDef * usart,
uint16_t data
)

Transmit two 4-9 bit frames or one 10-16 bit frame.

Depending on the frame length configuration, 4-8 (least significant) bits from each byte in data are transmitted. If frame length is 9, 8 bits are transmitted from each byte in data adding one bit as specified by the CTRL register, BIT8DV field, to each byte. See USART_TxDoubleExt() for transmitting two 9 bit frames with full control of all 9 bits.

If the frame length is 10-16, 10-16 (least significant) bits from data are transmitted.

Notice that possible parity/stop bits in asynchronous mode are not considered part of a specified frame bit length.

Note
This function will stall if the buffer is full until the buffer becomes available.
Parameters
[in] usart A pointer to the USART/UART peripheral register block.
[in] data Data to transmit, the least significant byte holds the frame transmitted first. See details above for more info.

◆ USART_TxDoubleExt()

void USART_TxDoubleExt ( USART_TypeDef * usart,
uint32_t data
)

Transmit two 4-9 bit frames or one 10-16 bit frame with extended control.

Notice that possible parity/stop bits in asynchronous mode are not considered part of a specified frame bit length.

Note
This function will stall if the buffer is full until the buffer becomes available.
Parameters
[in] usart A pointer to the USART/UART peripheral register block.
[in] data Data to transmit with extended control. Contains two 16 bit words concatenated. Least significant word holds the frame transmitted first. If the frame length is 4-9, two frames with 4-9 least significant bits from each 16 bit word are transmitted.
If the frame length is 10-16 bits, 8 data bits are taken from the least significant 16 bit word and the remaining bits from the other 16 bit word.
Additional control bits are available as documented in the reference manual (set to 0 if not used). For 10-16 bit frame length, these control bits are taken from the most significant 16 bit word.

◆ USART_TxExt()

void USART_TxExt ( USART_TypeDef * usart,
uint16_t data
)

Transmit one 4-9 bit frame with extended control.

Notice that possible parity/stop bits in asynchronous mode are not considered part of a specified frame bit length.

Note
This function will stall if the buffer is full until the buffer becomes available.
Parameters
[in] usart A pointer to the USART/UART peripheral register block.
[in] data Data to transmit with extended control. Least significant bit contains frame bits. Additional control bits are available as documented in the reference manual (set to 0 if not used).
