Description
Reserved
These bits are always read as 1 and cannot be
modified.
Data Transfer Direction
Selects the serial/parallel conversion format.
0: TDR contents are transmitted with LSB-first.
Receive data is stored as LSB first in RDR.
1: TDR contents are transmitted with MSB-first.
Receive data is stored as MSB first in RDR.
The SDIR bit is valid only when the 8-bit data format is
used for transmission/reception; when the 7-bit data
format is used, data is always transmitted/received with
LSB-first.
Data Invert
Specifies inversion of the data logic level. The SINV bit
does not affect the logic level of the parity bit. When
the parity bit is inverted, invert the O/E bit in SMR.
0: TDR contents are transmitted as they are. Receive
data is stored as it is in RDR.
1: TDR contents are inverted before being transmitted.
Receive data is stored in inverted form in RDR.
Reserved
This bit is always read as 1 and cannot be modified.
Serial Communication Interface Mode Select:
0: Normal asynchronous or clocked synchronous mode
1: Reserved mode
