12.1.2 UART (UART0)
This is a start-stop synchronization communication function using two lines: serial data transmission (TxD) and serial
data reception (RxD) lines. By using these two communication lines, each data frame, which consist of a start bit, data,
parity bit, and stop bit, is transferred asynchronously (using the internal baud rate) between the microcontroller and the
other communication party. Full-duplex UART communication can be performed by using a channel dedicated to
transmission (even-numbered channel) and a channel dedicated to reception (odd-numbered channel).
For details about the settings, see 12.6 Operation of UART (UART0) Communication.
[Data transmission/reception]
●
Data length of 7, 8, or 9 bits
●
MSB/LSB first selectable
●
Level setting of transmit/receive data and select of reverse
●
Parity bit appending and parity check functions
●
Stop bit appending
[Interrupt function]
●
Transfer end interrupt/buffer empty interrupt
●
Error interrupt in case of framing error, parity error, or overrun error
[Error detection flag]
●
Framing error, parity error, or overrun error
The ISC register can be used to set up the input signal on the RxD0 pin of UART0 as an external interrupt input or as a
timer input for the timer array unit. The input pulse interval measurement mode of the timer array unit can then be used
to measure the width at the baud rate of the other party in communications and make the required adjustments in
response.
