Figure 13.14 Data Format in Synchronous Communication
In synchronous serial communication, each data bit is output on the communication line from one
falling edge of the serial clock to the next. Data is 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
synchronous mode, the SCI transmits or receives data by synchronizing with the falling edge of
the serial 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 13.6.
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.
Figure 13.15 shows an example of SCI transmit operation. In transmitting serial data, the SCI
operates as follows.
1. The SCI monitors the TDRE bit in SSR. When TDRE is cleared to 0 the SCI recognizes that
the transmit data register (TDR) contains new data, and loads this data from TDR into the
transmit shift register (TSR).
2. After loading the data from TDR into TSR, the SCI sets the TDRE bit to 1 and starts
transmitting. If the transmit-data-empty interrupt enable bit (TIE) in SCR is set to 1, the SCI
requests a transmit-data-empty interrupt (TXI) at this time.
