4.10 Serial Communications Interface (SCI) Modules (SCI-A, SCI-B, SCI-C)
The devices include three serial communications interface (SCI) modules. The SCI modules support
digital communications between the CPU and other asynchronous peripherals that use the standard
non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format. The SCI receiver and transmitter are double-buffered, and each has its
own separate enable and interrupt bits. Both can be operated independently or simultaneously in the
full-duplex mode. To ensure data integrity, the SCI checks received data for break detection, parity,
overrun, and framing errors. The bit rate is programmable to over 65000 different speeds through a 16-bit
baud-select register.
Features of each SCI module include:
•
Two external pins:
–
–
SCITXD: SCI transmit-output pin
SCIRXD: SCI receive-input pin
NOTE: Both pins can be used as GPIO if not used for SCI.
Baud rate programmable to 64K different rates:
–
LSPCLK
Baud rate =
Baud rate =
when BRR ¹ 0
when BRR = 0
(BRR + 1) * 8
LSPCLK
16
NOTE
See Section 6 for maximum I/O pin toggling speed.
•
Data-word format
–
–
–
–
One start bit
Data-word length programmable from one to eight bits
Optional even/odd/no parity bit
One or two stop bits
•
•
•
•
•
Four error-detection flags: parity, overrun, framing, and break detection
Two wake-up multiprocessor modes: idle-line and address bit
Half- or full-duplex operation
Double-buffered receive and transmit functions
Transmitter and receiver operations can be accomplished through interrupt-driven or polled algorithms
with status flags.
–
Transmitter: TXRDY flag (transmitter-buffer register is ready to receive another character) and TX
EMPTY flag (transmitter-shift register is empty)
–
Receiver: RXRDY flag (receiver-buffer register is ready to receive another character), BRKDT flag
(break condition occurred), and RX ERROR flag (monitoring four interrupt conditions)
•
•
Separate enable bits for transmitter and receiver interrupts (except BRKDT)
NRZ (non-return-to-zero) format
NOTE
All registers in this module are 8-bit registers that are connected to Peripheral Frame 2.
When a register is accessed, the register data is in the lower byte (7-0), and the upper byte
(15-8) is read as zeros. Writing to the upper byte has no effect.
