Figure 10-14 Example of Operation when Receiving in Asynchronous Mode
(8-bit data, parity, 1 stop bit)
3. Operation in Synchronous Mode
In synchronous mode, SCI3 transmits and receives data in synchronization with clock pulses. This
mode is suitable for high-speed serial communication.
SCI3 has separate transmission and reception units, allowing full-duplex communication with a
shared clock.
As the transmission and reception units are both double-buffered, data can be written during
transmission and read during reception, making possible continuous transmission and reception.
