Serial Communication Interface (SCI)

8.6.4.1 SCI Receive Register (SRX)

Data bits received on the RXD signal are shifted into the SCI receive shift register. When a

complete word is received, the data portion of the word is transferred to the byte-wide SRX. This

process converts serial data to parallel data and provides double buffering. Double buffering

promotes flexibility and increased throughput since the programmer can save (and process) the

previous word while the current word is being received.

The SRX can be read at three locations as SRXL, SRXM, and SRXH. When SRXL is read, the

contents of the SRX are placed in the lower byte of the data bus and the remaining bits on the

data bus are read as zeros. Similarly, when SRXM is read, the contents of SRX are placed into the

middle byte of the bus, and when SRXH is read, the contents of SRX are placed into the high

byte with the remaining bits are read as 0s. This way of mapping SRX efficiently packs three

bytes into one 24-bit word by ORing three data bytes read from the three addresses.

The SCR WDS0, WDS1, and WDS2 control bits define the length and format of the serial word.

The SCR receive clock mode (RCM) defines the clock source.
