16.4.1 Data Format
The serial data format requires the following conditions:
An idle-line in the high state before transmission or reception of a
message.
A start bit (logic zero), transmitted or received, that indicates the
start of each character.
Data that is transmitted or received least significant bit (LSB) first.
A stop bit (logic one), used to indicate the end of a frame. (A frame
consists of a start bit, a character of eight or nine data bits and a
stop bit.)
A BREAK is defined as the transmission or reception of a logic
zero for one frame or more.
This SCI supports hardware parity for transmit and receive.
16.4.2 SCI Baud Rate Generation
The basis of the SCI baud rate generator is a 13-bit modulus counter.
This counter gives the generator the flexibility necessary to achieve a
reasonable level of independence from the CPU operating frequency
and still be able to produce standard baud rates with a minimal amount
of error. The clock source for the generator comes from the M Clock.
