5-3 Half-duplex UART Serial Interface

5-3-1 Overview

Setup and operation of UART transmission and reception are described

below.

5-3-2 Setup and Operation

Transmission

(1)Select UART by setting the SC0CMD flag of the serial interface 0 control register (SC0CTR) to "1."

(2)Specify the first bit to be transferred (MSB first or LSB first) with the SC0DIR flag of the serial interface 0 mode register 0 (SC0MD0).

(3)Select the valid edge of the clock signal with the SC0CE1 to 0 flags of the SC0MD0 register.

(4)Select the clock source with the SC0CK1 to 0 flags of serial interface 0 mode register 1 (SC0MD1).

(5)Set the SC0CKM flags of the SC0MD1 register to "1" to divide the clock source frequency by 8.

(6)Set the SC0NPE flag of the serial interface 0 mode register 2 (SC0MD2) to enable or disable parity.

Setting the SC0FM flag of the SC0MD2 register to frame mode automatically sets the SC0LNG2 to 0 flags of the SC0MD0 register.

After the transfer is complete, the SC0LNG2 to 0 flags of the SC0MD0 register are automatically set with the transfer bit count.

Set the SC0CKM flag of the SC0MD1 register to "1" to divide the clock source frequency by 8.

When the serial port is enabled and the SC0CE1 to 0 flags of the SC0MD0 register are toggled, the transfer bit count may change.

The TXD pin goes to a high level after transmission is complete.
