Beschreibung

The XR20M1280¹ (M1280) is a single-channel I2C/SPI Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) with integrated level shifters and 128 bytes of transmit and receive FIFOs.For flexibility in a mixed voltage environment, the M1280 has 4 VCC pins. There is a VCC pin for the core, a VCC pin for the UART signals, a VCC pin for the CPU interface signals and a VCC pin for the GPIO signals. The VCC pins for the UART, GPIO and I2C/SPI interface signals allow for the M1280 to interface with devices operating at different voltage levels eliminating the need for external voltage level shifters. The VCC core voltage helps to lower the overall power consumption for applications that use slower data rates.The Auto RS-485 Half-Duplex Direction control feature simplifies both the hardware and software for half-duplex RS-485 applications. In addition, the Multidrop mode with Auto Address detection and Address Byte Control features increase the performance by simplifying the software routines.The Independent TX/RX Baud Rate Generator feature allows the transmitter and receiver to operate at different baud rates. In addition, the Fractional Baud Rate Generator feature provides flexibility for crystal/clock frequencies for generating standard and non-standard baud rates.The M1280 has programmable transmit and receive FIFO trigger levels, automatic hardware and software flow control, and data rates of up to 24 Mbps. Power consumption of the M1280 can be minimized by enabling the sleep mode.The M1280 has a 16550 compatible register set that provide users with operating status and control, receiver error indications, and modem serial interface controls. An internal loopback capability allows onboard diagnostics. The M1280 has a selectable I2C/SPI bus interface.
