12.4.20 Receiver Timeout Register (RTO)
| Bit Number | Name | R/W | Reset Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [7:0] | RTO | R/W | 0 | Writing to the RTO register sets the counter value and enables, if the ERTO bit in the Table 12-22 is enabled. You can configure the timeout value by writing into this register. The RTO counts when the Rx block input state is idle; is reset when a start condition occurs, and restarts counting upon returning to the idle state. When the RTO value is reached, the RTOII interrupt is set. Re-writing the RTO register clears the interrupt and sets the counter. The receiver timeout value equation is based on the baud rate bit time (Tbit) as follows: Rx Timeout Value = 4 x RTO x Bit Time (Tbit) |
