Figure 12.14 Data Format in Clock Synchronous Communication
In clock synchronous serial communication, each data bit is output on the communication line
from one falling edge of the serial clock to the next. Data are guaranteed valid at the rising edge of
the serial clock. In each character, the serial data bits are transmitted in order from the LSB (first)
to the MSB (last). After output of the MSB, the communication line remains in the state of the
MSB. In the clock synchronous mode, the SCI transmits or receives data by synchronizing with
the falling edge of the synchronization clock.
Communication Format: The data length is fixed at eight bits. No parity bit or multiprocessor bit
can be added.
Clock: An internal clock generated by the on-chip baud rate generator or an external clock input
from the SCK pin can be selected as the SCI transmit/receive clock. The clock source is selected
by the C/A bit in the serial mode register (SMR) and bits CKE1 and CKE0 in the serial control
register (SCR). See table 12.9.
When the SCI operates on an internal clock, it outputs the clock signal at the SCK pin. Eight clock
pulses are output per transmitted or received character. When the SCI is not transmitting or
receiving, the clock signal remains in the high state.
Note: An overrun error occurs only during the receive operation, and the sync clock is output
until the RE bit is cleared to 0. When you want to perform a receive operation in one-
character units, select external clock for the clock source.
