Serial Communications Interface (SCI)
Serial Communications Interface (SCI)
The SCI module is a serial I/O port that permits Asynchronous communication between the C28x
and other peripheral devices. The SCI transmit and receive registers are both double-buffered to
prevent data collisions and allow for efficient CPU usage. In addition, the C28x SCI is a full
duplex interface which provides for simultaneous data transmit and receive. Parity checking and
data formatting is also designed to be done by the port hardware, further reducing software
overhead.
