CHAPTER 10 UART
10.2 Serial Mode Register (SMR)

The serial mode register (SMR) specifies the UART operation mode.

Set the operation mode while UART operation is stopped. Do not write to the register

during UART operation.

Configuration of Serial Mode Register (SMR)
The configuration of the serial mode register (SMR) is shown bel ow:
Bit Functions of Serial Mode Register (SMR)
[bit 7, 6] MD1, MD0 (MoDe select)
These bits select the UART operation mode.
<Note>
In CLK asynchronous multiprocessor mode (mode 1), m ultiple slave CPUs are connected to
one host CPU. This resource cannot recognize the format of received data and thus supports
only the master in multiprocessor mode.
Since the parity check function cannot be used, set PEN of the SCR register to "0".
[bit 5, 4] (reserved)
Always set these bits to "1".
[bit 3] CS0 (Clock Select)
This bit selects the UART operating clock.
0: Built-in timer (U-TIMER) (Initial value)
1: External clock
[bit 2] (reserved)
Always set this bit to "0".
