Serial Communication Interface (SCI) Module
The SCI receiver and transmitter are double-buffered, and each has its own separate enable and interrupt
bits. The receiver and transmitter may each be operated independently or simultaneously in full duplex
mode.
To ensure data integrity, the SCI checks the data it receives for breaks, parity, overrun, and framing
errors. The bit rate (baud) is programmable to over 16 million different rates through a 24-bit baud-select
register.
shows the detailed SCI block diagram.
