Operation in Clocked Synchronous Mode

Figure 14.14 shows the general format for clocked synchronous communication. In clocked
synchronous mode, data is transmitted or received synchronous with clock pulses. In clocked
synchronous serial communication, data on the transmission line is output from one falling edge of
the serial clock to the next. In clocked synchronous mode, the SCI receives data in synchronous
with the rising edge of the serial clock. After 8-bit data is output, the transmission line holds the
MSB state. In clocked synchronous mode, no parity or multiprocessor bit is added. Inside the SCI,
the transmitter and receiver are independent units, enabling full-duplex communication through
the use of a common clock. Both the transmitter and the receiver also have a double-buffered
structure, so data can be read or written during transmission or reception, enabling continuous data
transfer.

14.6.1 Clock
Either an internal clock generated by the on-chip baud rate generator or an external
synchronization clock input at the SCK pin can be selected, according to the setting of CKE0 and
CKE1 bits in SCR. When the SCI is operated on an internal clock, the serial clock is output from
the SCK pin. Eight serial clock pulses are output in the transfer of one character, and when no
transfer is performed the clock is fixed high.
