12.6 Operation of UART (UART0) Communication
This is a start-stop synchronization function using two lines: serial data transmission (T
XD) and serial data reception
(R
XD) 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). The LIN-bus can be
implemented by using timer array unit with an external interrupt (INTP0).
[Data transmission/reception]
• Data length of 7, 8, or 9 bits
• Select the MSB/LSB first
• Level setting of transmit/receive data (selecting whether to reverse the level)
• Parity bit appending and parity check functions
• Stop bit appending, stop bit check function
[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
In addition, UART0 reception (channel 1) supports the SNOOZE mode. When RxD0 pin input is detected while in the
STOP mode, the SNOOZE mode makes data reception that does not require the CPU possible.
The LIN-bus is accepted in UART0 (channels 0 and 1).
[LIN-bus functions]
• Wakeup signal detection
• Break field (BF) detection
• Sync field measurement, baud rate calculation
