1.2.23.3 Clock-asynchronous serial I/O mode (compliant with the SIM interface)
The SIM interface is used for connecting the microcomputer with a memory card I/C or the like; adding
some extra settings in UART2 clock-asynchronous serial I/O mode allows the user to effect this func-
tion. Table 1.29 shows the specifications of clock-asynchronous serial I/O mode (compliant with the
SIM interface). Figure 1.92 shows the typical transmit/receive timing in UART mode.
Note 1: ‘n’ denotes the value 00
16
to FF
16
that is set to the UARTi bit rate generator.
Note 2: If an overrun error occurs, the UART2 receive buffer will have the next data written in. Also, the UARTi receive interrupt request bit
is not set to “1”.

Item Specification
Transfer data
format
• Transfer data 8-bit UART mode (bit 2 through bit 0 of address 0378
16
= “101
2
”)
• One stop bit (bit 4 of address 0378
16
= “0”)
• With the direct format chosen
Set parity to “even” (bit 5 and bit 6 of address 0378
16
= “1” and “1” respectively)
Set data logic to “direct” (bit 6 of address 037D
16
= “0”).
Set transfer format to LSB (bit 7 of address 037C
16
= “0”).
• With the inverse format chosen
Set parity to “odd” (bit 5 and bit 6 of address 0378
16
= “0” and “1” respectively)
Set data logic to “inverse” (bit 6 of address 037D
16
= “1”)
Set transfer format to MSB (bit 7 of address 037C
16
= “1”)
Transfer clock
• With the internal clock chosen (bit 3 of address 0378
16
= “0”): fi / 16 (n + 1) (Note 1): fi=f1, f8, f32
Transmission /
reception control
• Disable the CTS
and RTS function (bit 4 of address 037C
16
= “1”)
Other settings
• The sleep mode select function is not available for UART2
• Set transmission interrupt factor to “transmission completed” (bit 4 of address 037D
16
= “1”)
Transmission start
condition
• To start transmission, the following requirements must be met:
Transmit enable bit (bit 0 of address 037D
16
) = “1”
Transmit buffer empty flag (bit 1 of address 037D
16
) = “0”
Reception start
condition
• To start reception, the following requirements must be met:
Reception enable bit (bit 2 of address 037D
16
) = “1”
Detection of a start bit
Interrupt request
generation timing
• When transmitting
When data transmission from the UART2 transfer register is completed (bit 4 of address 037D
16
= “1”)
• When receiving
When data transfer from the UART2 receive register to the UART2 receive buffer register is completed
Error detection
• Overrun error (see the specifications of clock-asynchronous serial I/O) (Note 3)
• Framing error (see the specifications of clock-asynchronous serial I/O)
• Parity error (see the specifications of clock-asynchronous serial I/O)
On the reception side, an “L” level is output from the TxD2 pin by use of the parity error signal output
function (bit 7 of address 037D
16
= “1”) when a parity error is detected
On the transmission side, a parity error is detected by the level of input to the RxD2 pin when a
transmission interrupt occurs
• The error sum flag (see the specifications of clock-asynchronous serial I/O)
