Normal mode operation

only uses the clock transitions to track the bit-cell boundaries, by ignoring all
transitions occurring outside a window around the center of the bit-cell. The window
is half a bit-cell wide.
Because the clock transitions are guaranteed, the DPLL requires that they always be
present. If no transition is found in the window around the center of the bit-cell for
two successive bit-cells, the DPLL is not in lock and immediately enters search
mode. Search mode presumes that the next transition seen is a clock transition and
immediately synchronizes to this transition. No clock output is provided to the
receiver during the search operation.
Biphase-Mark
and Biphase-
Space encoding
Biphase-mark and biphase-space encoding are identical per the DPLL and are similar
to biphase-level. The primary difference is the clock placement and data
transitions. With these encodings, the clock transitions are at the bit-cell boundary
and the data transitions are at the center of the bit-cell; the DPLL operation is
adjusted accordingly. Decoding biphase-mark or biphase-space encoding requires
that the data be sampled by both edges of the recovered receive clock.
IRDA-compliant
encode
There is an optional IRDA-compliant encode and decode function available. The
encoder sends an active-high pulse for a zero and no pulse for a one. The pulse is
1/4th of a bit-cell wide. The decoder watches for active-low pulses which are
stretched to one bit time wide to recreate the normal asynchronous waveform for the
receiver. enabling the IRDA-compliant encode/decode modifies the transmitter so
there are always two opening flags transmitted.

The HDLC achieves normal mode operation by programming the HDLC and Wrapper
configuration registers.
