2.4.5 Notes on use
(1) Note when an external clock is used as a synchronous clock:
• An external clock is selected as the synchronous clock, the clock is not controlled internally.
• Serial transfer is continued as long as an external clock is input. If an external clock is input 9 times
or more and serial transfer is continued, the receive data is transferred directly as transmit data,
so that be sure to control the clock externally.
Note also that the SIOF flag is set when a clock is counted 8 times.
• Make sure that the initial input level on the external clock pin is always “H” level.
• Table 2.4.2 shows the recommended operating conditions when using serial I/O with an external
clock. Figure 2.4.7 shows an input waveform of external clock.
