Serial Communications Interface Module (SCI)
Functional Description
13.3 Functional Description
Figure 13-2 shows the structure of the SCI module. The SCI allows full-duplex,
asynchronous, NRZ serial communication among the MCU and remote devices,
including other MCUs. The transmitter and receiver of the SCI operate
independently, although they use the same baud rate generator. During normal
operation, the CPU monitors the status of the SCI, writes the data to be
transmitted, and processes received data.
