Chapter 19: UART Controller
Normal Mode
Normal mode is used for standard UART operations.
Automatic Echo Mode
Echo mode receives data on RxD and the mode switch routes the data to both the receiver and the
TxD pin. Data from the transmitter cannot be sent out from the controller.
Local Loopback Mode
Local loopback mode does not connect to the RxD or TxD pins. Instead, the transmitted data is
looped back around to the receiver.
Remote Loopback Mode
Remote loopback mode connects the RxD signal to the TxD signal. In this mode, the controller
cannot send anything on TxD and the controller does not receive anything on RxD.
