Transmit/Receive Formats: Table 14.10 shows the 11 communication formats that can be
selected in the asynchronous mode. The format is selected by settings in the serial mode register
(SMR).

—: Don’t care bits.
Note: START: Start bit
STOP: Stop bit
P: Parity bit
MPB: Multiprocessor bit
Clock: An internal clock generated by the on-chip baud rate generator or an external clock input
from the SCK pin can be selected as the SCI transmit/receive clock. The clock source is selected
by the C/A bit in the serial mode register (SMR) and bits CKE1 and CKE0 in the serial control
register (SCR) (table 14.9).
