5. When modem control is enabled, the RTS signal is output depending on the empty status of
SCFRDR. When RTS is 0, reception is possible. When RTS is 1, this indicates that SCFRDR
exceeds the number set for the RTS output active trigger.
Figure 19.10 shows an example of the operation when modem control is used.

19.4.3 Synchronous Operation
In synchronous mode, the SCIF transmits and receives data in synchronization with clock pulses.
This mode is suitable for high-speed serial communication.
The SCIF transmitter and receiver are independent, so full-duplex communication is possible
while sharing the same clock. The transmitter and receiver are also 16-byte FIFO buffered, so
continuous transmitting or receiving is possible by reading or writing data while transmitting or
receiving is in progress.
