12.5 Operation of 3-Wire Serial I/O (CSI00, CSI01) Communication 
This is a clocked communication function that uses three lines: serial clock (SCK) and serial data (SI and SO) lines. 
[Data transmission/reception] 
• Data length of 7 or 8 bits 
• Phase control of transmit/receive data 
• MSB/LSB first selectable 
[Clock control] 
• Master/slave selection 
• Phase control of I/O clock 
• Setting of transfer period by prescaler and internal counter of each channel 
• Maximum transfer rate 
During master communication (CSI00): Max. f
MCK/2 
Notes 1, 2
During master communication (CSI01): Max. fMCK/4 
Note 2
During slave communication: Max. f
MCK/6 
Note 2
[Interrupt function] 
• Transfer end interrupt/buffer empty interrupt 
[Error detection flag] 
• Overrun error 
In addition, CSI00 supports the SNOOZE mode. When SCK input is detected while in the STOP mode, the SNOOZE 
mode makes data reception that does not require the CPU possible. 
Notes 1.  In master communication (CSI00), maximum transfer rate become f
MCK/2 when the following conditions. 
• 2.7 V ≤ EV
DD = VDD ≤ 5.5 V 
• fMCK ≤ 12 MHz 
Other cases, maximum transfer rate become f
MCK/4. 
 2. Use the clocks within a range satisfying the SCK cycle time (t
KCY) characteristics (see CHAPTER 30 
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS (A, G: TA = -40 to +85°C) and CHAPTER 31 ELECTRICAL 
SPECIFICATIONS (G: T
A = -40 to +105°C)).
