AT80C51RD2/AT83C51Rx2
Serial I/O Port
The serial I/O port in the T8xc51Rx2 is compatible with the serial I/O port in the 80C52.
It provides both synchronous and asynchronous communication modes. It operates as a
Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) in three full-duplex modes
(Modes 1, 2 and 3). Asynchronous transmission and reception can occur simultaneously
and at different baud rates
Serial I/O port includes the following enhancements:
• Framing error detection
• Automatic address recognition
Framing Error Detection
Framing bit error detection is provided for the three asynchronous modes (modes 1, 2
and 3). To enable the framing bit error detection feature, set SMOD0 bit in PCON regis-
ter (see Figure 14).

When this feature is enabled, the receiver checks each incoming data frame for a valid
stop bit. An invalid stop bit may result from noise on the serial lines or from simultaneous
transmission by two CPUs. If a valid stop bit is not found, the Framing Error bit (FE) in
SCON register (see Table 22) bit is set.
Software may examine FE bit after each reception to check for data errors. Once set,
only software or a reset can clear FE bit. Subsequently, received frames with valid stop
bits cannot clear FE bit. When FE feature is enabled, RI rises on stop bit instead of the
last data bit (see Figure 15 and Figure 16).
