DS89C450 serial data transfer

E

Ed

I am having serial port communications problems. Below is
the simple code in the DS89C450 MCU that I am trying to get to
work properly. It is a simple routine to receive data via the
serial port at 38400baud. I am trying to receive 65536 bytes. It
allways drops some of the data like it is falling behind the
serial stream. Most the time the 1st 1000 bytes seem fine then
one is missed and the data in memory is short a byte. This
happens many times after the 1st 1k bytes. I am using Visual C++
6.0 as my pc software to send data from the pc to the DS89C450. I
did find that I had to buffer the ALE line to the latches for
more reliability. Do I need to buffer the WR & RD also or add
pull-ups on other pins? According to the data sheet the
Address/Data lines dont need pull-ups if thats all there used
for. My MCU circuit is very simple and uses 1-DS89C450MNL,
2-74F573 latches for address, 1-IS62C1024AL-35 Ram, 1-74HCT32
used as a buffer for ALE, 1-MAX233CPP Rs232. I have A16 tied low
on Ram chip. If I insert a 1ms delay between characters sent by
the pc, it works fine. But that defeats the speed-up in
communications. I can verify that data is missing by dumping the memory
contents with another routine in the micro to send the last 256 bytes of
memory.
Out of 65536 bytes there is 7 bytes missing.

Most likely is you need a pullup pack on P0
No ALE buffer is required, or /Rd /Wr
I think if it were an issue with P0 pullups the data would just be wrong in
some places.
Data is actually missing completely. I send 10000bytes and only 9997 are
received.
