Section 22 Serial Communication Interface with FIFO (SCIF)
22.6.3 Break Detection and Processing
Break signals can be detected by reading the RxD pin directly when a framing error (FER) is
detected. In the break state the input from the RxD pin consists of all 0s, so the FER flag is set and
the parity error flag (PER) may also be set.
Note that, although transfer of receive data to SCFRDR is halted in the break state, the SCIF
receiver continues to operate.
22.6.4 Sending a Break Signal
The I/O condition and level of the TxD pin are determined by the SPB2IO and SPB2DT bits in the
serial port register (SCSPTR). This feature can be used to send a break signal.
Until TE bit is set to 1 (enabling transmission) after initializing, the TxD pin does not work.
During the period, mark status is performed by the SPB2DT bit. Therefore, the SPB2IO and
SPB2DT bits should be set to 1 (high level output).
To send a break signal during serial transmission, clear the SPB2DT bit to 0 (designating low
level), then clear the TE bit to 0 (halting transmission). When the TE bit is cleared to 0, the
transmitter is initialized regardless of the current transmission state, and 0 is output from the TxD
pin.
22.6.5 Receive Data Sampling Timing and Receive Margin (Asynchronous Mode)
The SCIF operates on a base clock with a frequency of 16 times the transfer rate. In reception, the
SCIF synchronizes internally with the fall of the start bit, which it samples on the base clock.
Receive data is latched at the rising edge of the eighth base clock pulse. The timing is shown in
figure 22.19.
