6.12 USCI
– UART Mode
6.12.1 Overview
The asynchronous serial channel UART covers the reception and the transmission of
asynchronous data frames. It performs a serial-to-parallel conversion on data received from the
peripheral, and a parallel-to-serial conversion on data transmitted from the controller. The receiver
and transmitter are independent, frames can start at different points in time for transmission and
reception.
The UART controller also provides the LIN function. There is incoming data to wake up the
system.
6.12.2 Features
Supports one transmit buffer and two receive buffer for data payload
Supports programmable baud-rate generator
Supports 9-Bit Data Transfer
Supports LIN function
Supports baud rate detection by built-in capture event of baud rate generator
Supports Wake-up function
