11.3.2 Transfer data format
LSB first or MSB first can be selected as the transfer data format. Table 11.3.3 lists the relationship
between the transfer data format and writing/reading to and from the UARTi transmit/receive buffer register.
The transfer format select bit (bit 7 at addresses 3416, 3C16) selects the transfer data format. When this bit
is cleared to “0,” the set data is written to the UARTi transmit buffer register as the transmit data, as it is.
Similarly, the data in the UARTi receive buffer register is read out as the receive data, as it is. (See the
upper row in Table 11.3.3.) When this bit is set to “1,” each bit’s position of set data is reversed, and the
resultant data will be written to the UARTi transmit buffer register as the transmit data. Similarly, each bit’s
position of data in the UARTi receive buffer register is reversed, and the resultant data will be read out
as the receive data. (See the lower row in Table 11.3.3.)
Note that only the method of writing/reading to and from the UARTi transmit/receive buffer register is
affected by selection of the transfer data format, and that the transmit/receive operation is unaffected by
it.
