PRODUCT OVERVIEW
SERIAL I/O INTERFACE
The serial I/O interface supports the transmission or reception of 8-bit serial data with an external device. The
serial interface has the following functional components:
— 8-bit mode register
— Clock selector circuit
— 8-bit buffer register
— 3-bit serial clock counter
The serial I/O circuit can be set either to transmit-and-receive or to receive-only mode. MSB-first or LSB-first
transmission is also selectable. The serial interface operates with an internal or an external clock source, or using
the clock signal generated by the 16-bit timer/counter. To modify transmission frequency, the appropriate bits in
the serial I/O mode register (SMOD) must be manipulated.
COMPARATOR
Port 4 can be used as a analog input port for a comparator. The reference voltage for the 3-channel comparator
can be supplied either internally or externally at P4.2. The comparator module has the following components:
— Comparator
— Internal reference voltage generator (4-bit resolution)
— External reference voltage source at P4.2
— Comparator mode register (CMOD)
— Comparison result register (CMPREG)
