Bit 31 – ONEBIT Start Frame Delimiter Selector

ValueDescription
0 Start frame delimiter is COMMAND or DATA SYNC.
1 Start frame delimiter is one bit.

Bit 30 – MODSYNC Manchester Synchronization Mode

ValueDescription
0 The Manchester start bit is a 0 to 1 transition
1 The Manchester start bit is a 1 to 0 transition.

Bit 29 – MAN Manchester Encoder/Decoder Enable

ValueDescription
0 Manchester encoder/decoder are disabled.
1 Manchester encoder/decoder are enabled.

Bit 28 – FILTER Receive Line Filter

ValueDescription
0 The USART does not filter the receive line.
1 The USART filters the receive line using a three-sample filter (1/16-bit clock) (2 over 3 majority).

Bits 26:24 – MAX_ITERATION[2:0] Maximum Number of Automatic Iterations

ValueDescription
0–7 Defines the maximum number of iterations in mode ISO7816, protocol T = 0.

Bit 23 – INVDATA Inverted Data

ValueDescription
0 The data field transmitted on TXD line is the same as the one written in FLEX_US_THR or the content read in FLEX_US_RHR is the same as RXD line. Normal mode of operation.
1 The data field transmitted on TXD line is inverted (voltage polarity only) compared to the value written in FLEX_US_THR or the content read in FLEX_US_RHR is inverted compared to what is received on RXD line (or ISO7816 IO line). Inverted mode of operation, useful for contactless card application. To be used with configuration bit MSBF.

Bit 22 – VAR_SYNC Variable Synchronization of Command/Data Sync Start Frame Delimiter

ValueDescription
0 User defined configuration of command or data sync field depending on MODSYNC value.
1 The sync field is updated when a character is written into FLEX_US_THR.

Bit 21 – DSNACK Disable Successive NACK

The MAX_ITERATION field must be cleared if DSNACK is cleared.
ValueDescription
0 NACK is sent on the ISO line as soon as a parity error occurs in the received character (unless INACK is set).
1 Successive parity errors are counted up to the value specified in the MAX_ITERATION field. These parity errors generate a NACK on the ISO line. As soon as this value is reached, no additional NACK is sent on the ISO line. The flag ITER is asserted.

Bit 20 – INACK Inhibit Non Acknowledge

ValueDescription
0 The NACK is generated.
1 The NACK is not generated.

Bit 19 – OVER Oversampling Mode

ValueDescription
0 16x Oversampling.
1 8x Oversampling.

Bit 18 – CLKO Clock Output Select

ValueDescription
0 The USART does not drive the SCK pin (Synchronous Client mode or Asynchronous mode with external baud rate clock source).
1 The USART drives the SCK pin if USCLKS does not select the external clock SCK (USART Synchronous Host mode).

Bit 17 – MODE9 9-bit Character Length

ValueDescription
0 CHRL defines character length.
1 9-bit character length.

Bit 16 – MSBF Bit Order

ValueDescription
0 Least significant bit is sent/received first.
1 Most significant bit is sent/received first.

Bits 15:14 – CHMODE[1:0] Channel Mode

ValueNameDescription
0 NORMAL Normal mode
1 AUTOMATIC Automatic Echo. Receiver input is connected to the TXD pin.
2 LOCAL_LOOPBACK Local Loopback. Transmitter output is connected to the Receiver Input.
3 REMOTE_LOOPBACK Remote Loopback. RXD pin is internally connected to the TXD pin.

Bits 13:12 – NBSTOP[1:0] Number of Stop Bits

ValueNameDescription
0 1_BIT 1 stop bit
1 1_5_BIT 1.5 stop bit (SYNC = 0) or reserved (SYNC = 1)
2 2_BIT 2 stop bits

Bits 11:9 – PAR[2:0] Parity Type

ValueNameDescription
0 EVEN Even parity
1 ODD Odd parity
2 SPACE Parity forced to 0 (Space)
3 MARK Parity forced to 1 (Mark)
4 NO No parity
6 MULTIDROP Multidrop mode

Bit 8 – SYNC Synchronous Mode Select

ValueDescription
0 USART operates in Asynchronous mode (UART).
1 USART operates in Synchronous mode.

Bits 7:6 – CHRL[1:0] Character Length

ValueNameDescription
0 5_BIT Character length is 5 bits
1 6_BIT Character length is 6 bits
2 7_BIT Character length is 7 bits
3 8_BIT Character length is 8 bits

Bits 5:4 – USCLKS[1:0] Clock Selection

ValueNameDescription
0 MCK Peripheral clock is selected
1 DIV Peripheral clock divided (DIV = 8) is selected
2 GCLK PMC generic clock is selected. If the SCK pin is driven (CLKO = 1), the CD field must be greater than 1.
3 SCK External pin SCK is selected

Bits 3:0 – USART_MODE[3:0] USART Mode of Operation
