I/O Signals

However, at least one of the three signals must be selected as an SCI signal to release the SCI from reset.

To enable SCI interrupts, program the SCI control registers before any of the SCI signals are programmed as SCI functions. In this case, only one transmit interrupt can be generated because the Transmit Data Register is empty. The timer and timer interrupt operate regardless of how the SCI pins are configured, either as SCI or GPIO.

8.2.1Receive Data (RXD)

This input signal receives byte-oriented serial data and transfers the data to the SCI receive shift register. Asynchronous input data is sampled on the positive edge of the receive clock (1

×SCLK) if the SCI Clock Polarity (SCKP) bit is cleared. RXD can be configured as a GPIO signal (PE0) when the SCI RXD function is not in use.

8.2.2Transmit Data (TXD)

This output signal transmits serial data from the SCI transmit shift register. Data changes on the negative edge of the asynchronous transmit clock (SCLK) if SCKP is cleared. This output is stable on the positive edge of the transmit clock. TXD can be programmed as a GPIO signal (PE1) when the SCI TXD function is not in use.

8.2.3SCI Serial Clock (SCLK)

This bidirectional signal provides an input or output clock from which the transmit and/or receive baud rate is derived in Asynchronous mode and from which data is transferred in Synchronous mode. SCLK can be programmed as a GPIO signal (PE2) when the SCI SCLK function is not in use. This signal can be programmed as PE2 when data is being transmitted on TXD, since the clock does not need to be transmitted in Asynchronous mode. Because SCLK is independent of SCI data I/O, there is no connection between programming the PE2 signal as SCLK and data coming out the TXD signal.
