C28 Serial Communications Interface (SCI)
This chapter describes the features and operation of the serial communication interface (SCI) module. SCI
is a two
−
wire asynchronous serial port, commonly known as a UART. The SCI modules support digital
communications between the CPU and other asynchronous peripherals that use the standard non-return-
to-zero (NRZ) format. The SCI receiver and transmitter each have a 16 -level deep FIFO for reducing
servicing overhead, and each has its own separate enable and interrupt bits. Both can be operated
independently for half-duplex communication, or simultaneously for full-duplex communication.
To specify data integrity, the SCI checks received data for break detection, parity, overrun, and framing
errors. The bit rate is programmable to different speeds through a 16-bit baud-select register.
