Synchronous Mode:
• The communication format has a fixed eight-bit data length.
• In receiving, it is possible to detect overrun errors (ORER).
• An internal or external clock can be selected as the SCI clock source.
When an internal clock is selected, the SCI operates using the on-chip baud rate generator,
and outputs a serial clock signal to external devices.
When an external clock is selected, the SCI operates on the input serial clock. The on-chip
baud rate generator is not used.
