16.2.4 Asynchronous Mode
In asynchronous mode no dedicated clock line is used, and the communication is based on matching the clock speed on the transmitter and receiver. The clock is generated from the internal SERCOM baudrate generator, and the frames are synchronized by using the frame start bits. Maximum transmission speed is limited to the SERCOM GCLK divided by 16. In asynchronous mode the interface only needs two lines to communicate:
TX (Transmit pin)
RX (Receive pin)
