Section 14 Serial Communication Interface with FIFO (SCIF)
14.4
14.4.1
For serial communication, the SCIF has an asynchronous mode in which characters are
synchronized individually, and a synchronous mode in which communication is synchronized with
clock pulses. The SCIF has a 16-byte FIFO buffer for both transmit and receive operations,
reducing the overhead of the CPU, and enabling continuous high-speed communication.
Moreover, it has RTS and CTS signals as modem control signals (for channels 0 and 1). The
transmission format is selected in the serial mode register (SCSMR). The SCIF clock source is
selected by the combination of the CKE1 and CKE0 bits in the serial control register (SCSCR).
Asynchronous Mode:
• Data length is selectable: 7 or 8 bits.
• Parity bit is selectable. So is the stop bit length (1 or 2 bits). The combination of the preceding
• In receiving, it is possible to detect framing errors, parity errors, receive FIFO data full,
• The number of stored data bytes is indicated for both the transmit and receive FIFO registers.
• An internal or external clock can be selected as the SCIF clock source.
Synchronous Mode:
• The transmission/reception format has a fixed 8-bit data length.
• In receiving, it is possible to detect overrun errors (ORER).
• An internal or external clock can be selected as the SCIF clock source.
