Section 13 Serial Communication Interface
13.1 Overview
The H8/3048B Group has a serial communication interface (SCI) with two independent channels.
The two channels are functionally identical. The SCI can communicate in asynchronous or
synchronous mode. It also has a multiprocessor communication function for serial communication
among two or more processors.
When the SCI is not used, it can be halted to conserve power. Each SCI channel can be halted
independently. For details see section 20.6, Module Standby Function.
Channel 0 (SCI0) also has a smart card interface function conforming to the ISO/IEC7816-3
(Identification Card) standard. This function supports serial communication with a smart card. For
details, see section 14, Smart Card Interface.
13.1.1 Features
SCI features are listed below.
• Selection of asynchronous or synchronous mode for serial communication
 Asynchronous mode
Serial data communication is synchronized one character at a time. The SCI can
communicate with a universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART), asynchronous
communication interface adapter (ACIA), or other chip that employs 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.
• Data length: 7 or 8 bits
• Stop bit length: 1 or 2 bits
• Parity bit: even, odd, or none
• Multiprocessor bit: 1 or 0
• Receive error detection: parity, overrun, and framing errors
• Break detection: by reading the RxD level directly when a framing error occurs
