Serial Communications Interface Module (SCI)

ENSCI — Enable SCI Bit

This read/write bit enables the SCI and the SCI baud rate generator. Clearing ENSCI sets the SCTE and TC bits in SCI status register 1 and disables transmitter interrupts. Reset clears the ENSCI bit.

1 = SCI enabled

0 = SCI disabled

TXINV — Transmit Inversion Bit

This read/write bit reverses the polarity of transmitted data. Reset clears the TXINV bit. 1 = Transmitter output inverted

0 = Transmitter output not inverted

NOTE

Setting the TXINV bit inverts all transmitted values, including idle, break, start, and stop bits.

M — Mode (Character Length) Bit

This read/write bit determines whether SCI characters are eight or nine bits long. See Table 13-4.The ninth bit can serve as an extra stop bit, as a receiver wakeup signal, or as a parity bit. Reset clears the M bit.

1= 9-bit SCI characters

0= 8-bit SCI characters

WAKE — Wakeup Condition Bit

This read/write bit determines which condition wakes up the SCI: a 1 (address mark) in the most significant bit (MSB) position of a received character or an idle condition on the PTF4/RxD pin. Reset clears the WAKE bit.

1 = Address mark wakeup

0 = Idle line wakeup

ILTY — Idle Line Type Bit

This read/write bit determines when the SCI starts counting 1s as idle character bits. The counting begins either after the start bit or after the stop bit. If the count begins after the start bit, then a string of 1s preceding the stop bit may cause false recognition of an idle character. Beginning the count after the stop bit avoids false idle character recognition, but requires properly synchronized transmissions. Reset clears the ILTY bit.

1 = Idle character bit count begins after stop bit.

0 = Idle character bit count begins after start bit.

PEN — Parity Enable Bit

This read/write bit enables the SCI parity function. See Table 13-4.When enabled, the parity function inserts a parity bit in the most significant bit position. See Figure 13-4.Reset clears the PEN bit.

1 = Parity function enabled

0 = Parity function disabled

PTY — Parity Bit

This read/write bit determines whether the SCI generates and checks for odd parity or even parity. See Table 13-4.Reset clears the PTY bit.

1 = Odd parity

0 = Even parity

NOTE

Changing the PTY bit in the middle of a transmission or reception can generate a parity error.
