10.3.2

Operation in Asynchronous Mode

In asynchronous mode, serial communication is performed with synchronization provided

character by character. A start bit indicating the start of communication and one or two stop bits

indicating the end of communication are added to each character before it is sent.

SCI3 has separate transmission and reception units, allowing full-duplex communication. 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.

Figure 10.3 Data Format in Asynchronous Communication

In asynchronous communication, the communication line is normally in the mark state (high

level). SCI3 monitors the communication line and when it detects a space (low level), identifies

this as a start bit and begins serial data communication.

One transfer data character consists of a start bit (low level), followed by transmit/receive data

(LSB-first format, starting from the least significant bit), a parity bit (high or low level), and

finally one or two stop bits (high level).

In asynchronous mode, synchronization is performed by the falling edge of the start bit during

reception. The data is sampled on the 8th pulse of a clock with a frequency 16 times the bit period,

so that the transfer data is latched at the center of each bit.

Table 10.11 shows the 16 data transfer formats that can be set in asynchronous mode. The format

is selected by the settings in the serial mode register (SMR).
