ratio from 1 to 4096 (CD[11–0] = $000 to $FFF) can be selected.

 

 

 

 

The SCI clock determines the data transmission (baud) rate and can also establish a periodic interrupt that can act as an event timer or be used in any other timing function. Bits CD11– CD0, SCP, and SCR[STIR] work together to determine the time base. If SCR[TMIE] = 1 when the periodic time-out occurs, the SCI timer interrupt is recognized and pending. The SCI timer interrupt is automatically cleared when the interrupt is serviced. This interrupt occurs every time the periodic timer times out.

Figure 8-5shows the block diagram of the internal clock generation circuitry with the formula to compute the bit rate when the internal clock is used.
