10.5 SCI Operation
The SCI allows full-duplex, asynchronous, RS232 or RS422 serial
communication between the MCU and remote devices, including other
MCUs. The transmitter and receiver of the SCI operate independently,
although they use the same baud-rate generator. This subsection
describes the operation of the SCI transmitter and receiver.
10.5.1 Transmitter
Figure 10-2 shows the structure of the SCI transmitter. Figure 10-3 is a
summary of the SCI transmitter input/output (I/O) registers.
• Character Length — The transmitter can accommodate either
8-bit or 9-bit data. The state of the M bit in SCI control register 1
(SCCR1) determines character length. When transmitting 9-bit
data, bit T8 in SCCR1 is the ninth bit (bit 8).
• Character Transmission — During transmission, the transmit shift
register shifts a character out to the PD1/TDO pin. The SCI data
register (SCDR) is the write-only buffer between the internal data
bus and the transmit shift register.
