Section 13 Serial Communication Interface (SCI)

13.1 Overview

The SuperH microcomputer has a serial communication interface (SCI) with two independent

channels. Both channels are functionally identical. The SCI supports both asynchronous and

clocked synchronous serial communication. It also has a multiprocessor communication function

for serial communication among two or more processors.

13.1.1 Features

â¢ Asynchronous mode

ï£§ Serial data communications are synched by start-stop in character units. The SCI can

communicate with a universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART), an asynchronous

communication interface adapter (ACIA), or any other chip that employs a standard

asynchronous serial communication. It can also communicate with two or more other

processors using the multiprocessor communication function. There are twelve selectable

serial data communication formats.

ï£§ Data length: seven or eight bits

ï£§ Stop bit length: one or two bits

ï£§ Parity: even, odd, or none

ï£§ Multiprocessor bit: one or none

ï£§ Receive error detection: parity, overrun, and framing errors

ï£§ Break detection: by reading the RxD level directly when a framing error occurs

â¢ Clocked synchronous mode

ï£§ Serial data communication is synchronized with a clock signal. The SCI can communicate

with other chips having a clocked synchronous communication function. There is one serial

data communication format.

ï£§ Data length: eight bits

ï£§ Receive error detection: overrun errors

â¢ Full duplex communication: The transmitting and receiving sections are independent, so the

SCI can transmit and receive simultaneously. Both sections use double buffering, so

continuous data transfer is possible in both the transmit and receive directions.

â¢ On-chip baud rate generator with selectable bit rates

â¢ Internal or external transmit/receive clock source: baud rate generator (internal) or SCK pin

(external)

â¢ Four types of interrupts: Transmit-data-empty, transmit-end, receive-data-full, and receive-

error interrupts are requested independently. The transmit-data-empty and receive-data-full

interrupts can start the direct memory access controller (DMAC) to transfer data.
