SERIAL I/O
11.1 Overview
11.1 Overview
Serial I/O consists of 2 channels: UART0 and UART1. They each have a transfer clock generating timer for
the exclusive use of them and can operate independently.
UARTi (i = 0 and 1) has the following 2 operating modes:
(1) Clock synchronous serial I/O mode
Transmitter and receiver use the same clock as the transfer clock. Transfer data has a length of 8
bits.
(2) Clock asynchronous serial I/O (UART) mode
Transfer rate and transfer data format can arbitrarily be set. The user can select one transfer data
length from the following: 7 bits, 8 bits, and 9 bits.
Figure 11.1.1 shows the transfer data formats in each operating mode.
