16.4
Figure 16.3 shows the general format for asynchronous serial communication. One frame consists
of a start bit (low level), followed by transmit/receive data, a parity bit, and finally stop bits (high
level). In asynchronous serial communication, the transmission line is usually held in the mark
state (high level). The SCI monitors the transmission line, and when it goes to the space state (low
level), recognizes a start bit and starts serial communication. Inside the SCI, the transmitter and
receiver are independent units, enabling full-duplex communication. Both the transmitter and the
receiver also have a double-buffered structure, so that data can be read or written during
transmission or reception, enabling continuous data transfer and reception.
