Serial Communications Interface (SCI)
10.1 Introduction
The SCI interfaces are shown in Figure 10-1.
Figure 10-1. SCI CPU Interface
Features of the SCI module include:
• Two external pins:
– SCITXD: SCI transmit-output pin
– SCIRXD: SCI receive-input pin
Both pins can be used as GPIO if not used for SCI.
• Baud rate programmable to 64K different rates
• Data-word format
– One start bit
– Data-word length programmable from one to eight bits
– Optional even/odd/no parity bit
– One or two stop bits
– An extra bit to distinguish addresses from data (address bit mode only)
• Four error-detection flags: parity, overrun, framing, and break detection
• Two wake-up multiprocessor modes: idle-line and address bit
• Half- or full-duplex operation
• Double-buffered receive and transmit functions
• Transmitter and receiver operations can be accomplished through interrupt-driven or polled algorithms
with status flags.
• Separate enable bits for transmitter and receiver interrupts (except BRKDT)
• NRZ (non-return-to-zero) format
