Figure 13.3 Output Clock and Serial Data Timing (Asynchronous Mode)
Transmitting and Receiving Data (SCI Initialization (Asynchronous Mode)):
Before transmitting or receiving, clear the TE and RE bits to 0 in the serial control register
(SCSCR), then initialize the SCI as follows.
When changing the operation mode or communication format, always clear the TE and RE bits to
0 before following the procedure given below. Clearing TE to 0 sets TDRE to 1 and initializes the
transmit shift register (SCTSR). Clearing RE to 0, however, does not initialize the RDRF, PER,
FER, and ORER flags or receive data register (SCRDR), which retain their previous contents.
When an external clock is used, the clock should not be stopped during initialization or subsequent
operation. SCI operation becomes unreliable if the clock is stopped.
Figure 13.4 is a sample flowchart for initializing the SCI. The procedure for initializing the SCI
is:
1. Select the clock source in the serial control register (SCSCR). Leave RIE, TIE, TEIE, MPIE,
TE, and RE cleared to 0. If clock output is selected in asynchronous mode, clock output starts
immediately after the setting is made in SCSCR.
2. Select the communication format in the serial mode register (SCSMR).
3. Write the value corresponding to the bit rate in the bit rate register (SCBRR) unless an external
clock is used.
4. Wait for at least the interval required to transmit or receive one bit, then set TE or RE in the
serial control register (SCSCR) to 1. Also set RIE, TIE, TEIE, and MPIE as necessary.
Setting TE or RE enables the SCI to use the TxD or RxD pin. The initial states are the mark
transmit state, and the idle receive state (waiting for a start bit).
