This bit is the ninth serial data bit transmitted when the SCI system is
configured for nine-data-bit operation. When using 9-bit data format
this bit does not have to be written for each data word. The same
value will be transmitted as the ninth bit until this bit is rewritten.
R7/T7–R0/T0 — Receive/Transmit Data Bits 7 to 0
Reads access the eight bits of the read-only SCI receive data register
(RDR). Writes access the eight bits of the write-only SCI transmit data
register (TDR). SCxDRL:SCxDRH form the 9-bit data word for the
SCI. If the SCI is being used with a 7- or 8-bit data word, only SCxDRL
needs to be accessed. If a 9-bit format is used, the upper register
should be written first to ensure that it is transferred to the transmitter
shift register with the lower register.
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
The serial peripheral interface allows the 68HC(9)12DG128 to
communicate synchronously with peripheral devices and other
microprocessors. The SPI system in the 68HC(9)12DG128 can operate
as a master or as a slave. The SPI is also capable of interprocessor
communications in a multiple master system.
When the SPI is enabled, all pins that are defined by the configuration
as inputs will be inputs regardless of the state of the DDRS bits for those
pins. All pins that are defined as SPI outputs will be outputs only if the
DDRS bits for those pins are set. Any SPI output whose corresponding
DDRS bit is cleared can be used as a general-purpose input.
A bidirectional serial pin is possible using the DDRS as the direction
control.
SPI Baud Rate
Generation
The E Clock is input to a divider series and the resulting SPI clock rate
may be selected to be E divided by 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256. Three
bits in the SP0BR register control the SPI clock rate. This baud rate
generator is activated only when SPI is in the master mode and serial
transfer is taking place. Otherwise this divider is disabled to save power.
