11.3 Detailed Explanation
11.3.1
Overview
During reception, serial data that are input as an RXD signal from an external source are converted
into parallel data, then are stored in the Receive FIFO buffer. Parallel data stored in the FIFO buffer are
fetched by either CPU or DMA transfer.
During transmission, parallel data written to the Transmit FIFO buffer by CPU or DMA transfer are
converted into serial data, then are output as a TXD signal.
