Operation
For serial communication, the SCI has an asynchronous mode in which characters are
synchronized individually, and a clock synchronous mode in which communication is
synchronized with clock pulses. Asynchronous/clock synchronous mode and the transmission
format are selected in SCSMR, as listed in table 14.8. The SCI clock source is selected by the
combination of the C/
A
bit in SCSMR and the CKE1 and CKE0 bits in SCSCR, as listed in table
14.9.
Asynchronous Mode:
•
Data length is selectable: seven or eight bits.
•
Parity and multiprocessor bits are selectable. So is the stop bit length (one or two bits). The
combination of the preceding selections constitutes the communication format and character
length.
•
In receiving, it is possible to detect framing errors, parity errors, overrun errors and breaks.
•
An internal or external clock can be selected as the SCI clock source.
When an internal clock is selected, the SCI operates on the clock of the on-chip baud rate
generator, and can output a serial clock signal with a frequency matching the bit rate.
When an external clock is selected, the external clock input must have a frequency 16 times
the bit rate. (The on-chip baud rate generator is not used.)
Clock Synchronous Mode:
•
The transmission/reception format has a fixed eight-bit data length.
•
In receiving, it is possible to detect overrun errors.
•
An internal or external clock can be selected as the SCI clock source.
When an internal clock is selected, the SCI operates on the clock of the on-chip baud rate
generator, and outputs a synchronous clock signal to external devices.
When an external clock is selected, the SCI operates on the input synchronous clock. The
on-chip baud rate generator is not used.
