14.4.3
In synchronous mode, the SCIF transmits and receives data in synchronization with clock pulses.
This mode is suitable for high-speed serial communication.
The SCIF transmitter and receiver are independent, so full-duplex communication is possible
while sharing the same clock. The transmitter and receiver are also 16-byte FIFO buffered, so
continuous transmitting or receiving is possible by reading or writing data while transmitting or
receiving is in progress.
Figure 14.11 shows the general format in synchronous serial 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 SCIF transmits data by synchronizing with the falling edge of the serial
clock, and receives data by synchronizing with the rising edge of the serial clock.
