Serial I/O
Serial I/O
Serial I/O is configured as four channels: UART0, UART1, UART2 and S I/O3.
UART0 to 2
UART0, UART1 and UART2 each have an exclusive timer to generate a transfer clock, so they operate
independently of each other.
Figure 12-1 shows the block diagram of UART0, UART1 and UART2. Figures 12-2 and 12-3 show the block
diagram of the transmit/receive unit.
UARTi (i = 0 to 2) has two operation modes: a clock synchronous serial I/O mode and a clock asynchronous
serial I/O mode (UART mode). The contents of the serial I/O mode select bits (bits 0 to 2 at addresses
03A016, 03A816 and 01F816) determine whether UARTi is used as a clock synchronous serial I/O or as a
UART. Although a few functions are different, UART0, UART1 and UART2 have almost the same functions.
UART0 through UART2 are almost equal in their functions with minor exceptions. UART2, in particular, is
compliant with the SIM interface with some extra settings added in clock-asynchronous serial I/O mode
(Note). It also has the bus collision detection function that generates an interrupt request if the TxD pin and
the RxD pin are different in level.
Table 12-1 shows the comparison of functions of UART0 through UART2, and Figures 12-4 through 12-8
show the registers related to UARTi.
