4.12 - AsynchConfig [U12 Datasheet]

Requires firmware V1.1 or higher. This function writes to the asynch registers and sets the direction of the D lines (input/output) as needed.

Execution time for this function is 60 milliseconds or less (typically 48 milliseconds in Windows).

The actual 1-bit time is about 1.833 plus a “full” delay (µs).

The actual 1/2-bit time is about 1.0 plus a “half” delay (µs). full/half delay = 0.833 + 0.833C + 0.667BC + 0.5ABC (µs)

When using data rates over 38.4 kbps, the following conditions need to be considered:

  • When reading the first byte, the start bit is first tested about 11.5 µs after the start of the tx stop bit.

  • When reading bytes after the first, the start bit is first tested about “full” + 11 us after the previous bit 8 read, which occurs near the middle of bit 8.

When enabled, STB does the following to aid in debugging asynchronous reads:

  • STB is set about 6 µs after the start of the last tx stop bit, or about “full” + 6 us after the previous bit 8 read.

  • STB is cleared about 0-2 us after the RX start bit is detected.

  • STB is set after about “half”.

  • STB is cleared after about “full”.

  • Bit 0 is read about 1 µs later.

  • STB is set about 1 µs after the bit 0 read.

  • STB is cleared after about “full”.

  • Bit 1 is read about 1 µs later.

  • STB is set about 1 µs after the bit 1 read.

  • STB is cleared after about “full”.

  • This continues for all 8 data bits and the stop bit, after which STB remains low.
