CHAPTER 17 UART
17.5 Application of UART (During Operation in Mode 1)
Mode 1 is used if multiple slave CPUs are connected to one host CPU. This UART only
support the host communication interface (see Figure 17.5-1).
■ Application of UART (During Operation in Mode 1)
SOT
SIN
Host CPU
As shown in Figure 17.5-2, communication begins once the host CPU transfers address data.
The address data means the data when the A/D of the SCR register is "1". This allows one of
the slave CPUs to be selected as the receiver for communication with the host CPU. Normally,
the data when the A/D of the SCR register is "0" is used.
In this mode, the parity check function is not available. Therefore, set the PEN bit of the SCR
register to "0".
