Figure 106: UARTE reception

The UARTE receiver is stopped by triggering the STOPRX task. An RXTO event is generated when the UARTE

has stopped. The UARTE will make sure that an impending ENDRX event will be generated before the RXTO

event is generated. This means that the UARTE will guarantee that no ENDRX event will be generated after

RXTO, unless the UARTE is restarted or a FLUSHRX command is issued after the RXTO event is generated.

Note: If the ENDRX event has not been generated when the UARTE receiver stops, indicating that

all pending content in the RX FIFO has been moved to the RX buffer, the UARTE will generate the

ENDRX event explicitly even though the RX buffer is not full. In this scenario the ENDRX event will

be generated before the RXTO event is generated.

To determine the amount of bytes the RX buffer has received, the CPU can read the RXD.AMOUNT register

following the ENDRX event or the RXTO event.

The UARTE is able to receive up to four bytes after the STOPRX task has been triggered, as long as these

are sent in succession immediately after the RTS signal is deactivated. After the RTS is deactivated, the

UART is able to receive bytes for a period of time equal to the time needed to send four bytes on the

configured baud rate.

After the RXTO event is generated the internal RX FIFO may still contain data, and to move this data to

RAM the FLUSHRX task must be triggered. To make sure that this data does not overwrite data in the RX

buffer, the RX buffer should be emptied or the RXD.PTR should be updated before the FLUSHRX task is

triggered. To make sure that all data in the RX FIFO is moved to the RX buffer, the RXD.MAXCNT register

must be set to RXD.MAXCNT > 4, as seen in the following figure. The UARTE will generate the ENDRX event

after completing the FLUSHRX task even if the RX FIFO was empty or if the RX buffer does not get filled up.

To be able to know how many bytes have actually been received into the RX buffer in this case, the CPU

can read the RXD.AMOUNT register following the ENDRX event.
