UART as host interface for CLRC663

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:
  1. 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.
  2. Interface Selection: Pins IFSEL0 and IFSEL1 are both tied to VSS, which according to the datasheet, selects the UART interface.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Please read the 8.4.3 RS232 interface in the datasheet.
