Section 14 Serial Communication Interface (SCI)
14.1 Overview
The H8S/2357 Group is equipped with a three-channel serial communication interface (SCI). All three channels have the
same functions. The SCI can handle both asynchronous and clocked synchronous serial communication. A function is also
provided for serial communication between processors (multiprocessor communication function).
14.1.1 Features
SCI features are listed below.
• Choice of asynchronous or clocked synchronous serial communication mode
Asynchronous mode
 Serial data communication executed using asynchronous system in which synchronization is achieved character by
character
 Serial data communication can be carried out with standard asynchronous communication chips such as a Universal
Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) or Asynchronous Communication Interface Adapter (ACIA)
 A multiprocessor communication function is provided that enables serial data communication with a number of
processors
 Choice of 12 serial data transfer formats
Data length
: 7 or 8 bits
Stop bit length
: 1 or 2 bits
Parity
: Even, odd, or none
Multiprocessor bit
: 1 or 0
 Receive error detection : Parity, overrun, and framing errors
 Break detection
: Break can be detected by reading the RxD pin level
directly in case of a framing error
Clocked Synchronous mode
 Serial data communication synchronized with a clock
 Serial data communication can be carried out with other chips that have a synchronous communication function
 One serial data transfer format
Data length
: 8 bits
 Receive error detection : Overrun errors detected
• Full-duplex communication capability
 The transmitter and receiver are mutually independent, enabling transmission and reception to be executed
simultaneously
 Double-buffering is used in both the transmitter and the receiver, enabling continuous transmission and continuous
reception of serial data
• Choice of LSB-first or MSB-first transfer
 Can be selected regardless of the communication mode* (except in the case of 7-bit data asynchronous mode)
• On-chip baud rate generator allows any bit rate to be selected
• Choice of serial clock source
 Internal clock from baud rate generator or external clock from SCK pin
