Section 15   Smart Card Interface
15.1
Overview
As an added serial communications interface function, the SCI supports an IC card (smart card)
interface that conforms to the data transfer protocol (asynchronous half-duplex character
transmission protocol) of the ISO/IEC7816-3 (Identification Card) standard. Register settings are
used to switch between the normal serial communication interface and the smart card interface.
15.1.1
Features
The smart card interface has the following features:
 
Asynchronous mode
 
Data length: 8 bits
 
Parity bit generation and check
 
Receive mode error signal detection (parity error)
 
Transmit mode error signal detection and automatic re-transmission of data
 
Supports both direct convention and inverse convention
 
Bit rate can be selected using on-chip baud rate generator.
 
Three types of interrupts: Transmit-data-empty, receive-data-full, and communication-error
interrupts are requested independently.
