CHAPTER 17 SERIAL INTERFACE CHANNEL 1
(4) Synchronization control
Busy control and strobe control are functions to synchronize transmission/reception between the master
device and a slave device.
By using these functions, a shift in bits being transmitted or received can be detected.
(a) Busy control option
Busy control is a function to keep the serial transmission/reception by the master device waiting while
the busy signal output by a slave device to the master is active.
When using this busy control option, the following conditions must be satisfied.
Bit 5 (ATE) of the serial operation mode register 1 (CSIM1) is set to 1.
Bit 1 (BUSY1) of the automatic data transmit/receive control register (ADTC) is set to 1.
Figure 17-18 shows the system configuration of the master device and a slave device when the busy
control option is used.

Slave device
The master device inputs the busy signal output by the slave device to the BUSY/P24 pin. The master
device samples the input busy signal in synchronization with the falling of the serial clock. Even if the
busy signal becomes active while 8-bit data is being transmitted or received, transmission/reception by
the master is not kept waiting. If the busy signal is active at the rising edge of the serial clock 2 clocks
after completion of transmission/reception of the 8-bit data, the busy input becomes valid. After that, the
master transmission/reception is kept waiting while the busy signal is active.
The active level of the busy signal is set by bit 0 (BUSY0) of ADTC.
BUSY0 = 0: Active high
BUSY0 = 1: Active low
