Table 12.6.1 Transfer Data in UART Mode
Bit Name Content
ST (start bit) Indicates the beginning of data transmission. This is a low-level signal of a one bit
period, which is added immediately preceding the transmit data.
Bits 0–8 (character bits) Transmit/receive data transferred via serial I/O. In UART mode, 7, 8 or 9 bits of data
can be transmitted/received.
PAR (parity bit) Added to the transmit/receive character. When parity is enabled, parity is
automatically set in such a way that the number of 1’s in the character including the
parity bit itself is always even or odd as selected by the even/odd parity select bit.
SP (stop bit) Indicates the end of data transmission, which is added immediately following the
character (or if parity is enabled, immediately following the parity bit). The stop bit
can be chosen to be one bit or two bits long.
