Hi NXP Community,
I am experiencing an issue where my CLRC663 plus is not responding over the UART interface, and I would appreciate any insights into what might be missing from my configuration.
Problem Description:
Despite sending valid frames to the RX pin, the CLRC663 TX pin (Pin 30) remains idle (no signal transition).
Current Setup & Troubleshooting Steps:
- Power & Clock: I have verified the device is not in Power Down (PDOWN) state. All power supplies are stable, and the oscillator is functioning correctly.
- Interface Selection: Pins IFSEL0 and IFSEL1 are both tied to VSS, which according to the datasheet, selects the UART interface.
- Physical Layer:
- Pin 31 (IF3): Connected to PAD_VDD (3.3V) as required per the CLRC663 Datasheet.
- Logic Levels: Verified 3.3V for High and 0V for Low on all digital lines.
- Signal Analysis: I have attached oscilloscope plots for Pin 28 (RX) and Pin 30 (TX).
- The RX plot shows a valid command to read register 0x3D (PLL_Ctrl Register) at the baud rate of 115.34 kbps, which is close to default rate of 115.2kbps.
- The TX plot shows no response from the CLRC663; the line remains consistently high.
Question:
Since the interface pins (IFSEL) and power levels are correctly configured for UART, is there a specific startup sequence or internal reset condition required before the CLRC663 begins monitoring the UART RX line?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
