5.10 UART

The UART peripherals (UART0, UART1, UART2, UART3, and UART4) provide the following key features:

  • Standard asynchronous communication bits for start, stop, and parity
  • Fully programmable serial interface
    • Five, six, seven, or eight data bits
    • Even, odd, stick, or no-parity bit generation and detection
    • One or two stop bit generation
    • Line-break detection
    • Glitch filter on the input signals
    • Programmable baud rate generation with oversampling by 16, 8, or 3
    • Local interconnect network (LIN) mode support
  • Separated transmit and receive FIFOs support DAM data transfer
  • Support transmit and receive loopback mode operation
  • See Table 5-10 for detailed information on supported protocols

The following tests must be applied for the targeted ASIL as functional safety mechanisms for this module (to provide diagnostic coverage on a specific function):

Table 5-11 UART Safety Mechanisms
Safety Mechanism Description Faults | Failure Modes
UART1 Software test of function using I/O loopback Targets the transmit and receive function, including the clocking, shift registers, FIFOs, and the associated control logic.
UART2 Periodic software read back of static configuration registers Targets the static configuration registers in UART.
UART3 Information redundancy techniques including end-to-end safing This is an application-level check, in which additional information (for example, the CRC of the message) is included along with the message. These checks can be used to cover faults resulting in data corruption. For example, fault in FIFO, in the shift registers, and so forth.
UART4 Transmission redundancy This test is an application-level check, in which the same message is transmitted multiple times. This test is effective to detect transient faults resulting in some messages getting corrupted. For example, transient faults in FIFOs.
UART5 Timeout monitoring This is an application-level check, in which safety messages can be exchanged periodically. This covers faults which result in communication breakdown. These faults can be in the external line, I/Os, the transmit and receive logic, interrupt generation logic, and so forth.
UART6 UART error flags This safety mechanism provides detection for some typical failures which result in protocol violations and can cover faults in the transmit and receive control logic or on the external line.
UART7 UART glitch filter This mechanism is a fault-avoidance measure against glitches on the RX line.
WDT Windowed watchdog event Targeted toward faults which result in missing interrupts (periodic interrupts) affecting the program sequence of the CPU. These faults can be faults in the interrupt logic, the logic which sets the interrupt flags, and so forth.
