Figure 22.10 Automatic SCI Bit Rate Adjustment

When boot mode is initiated, the LSI measures the low period of the asynchronous SCI

communication data (H'00) transmitted continuously from the host. The SCI transmit/receive

format should be set as follows: 8-bit data, 1 stop bit, no parity. The LSI calculates the bit rate of

the transmission from the host from the measured low period, and transmits one H'00 byte to the

host to indicate the end of bit rate adjustment. The host should confirm that this adjustment end

indication (H'00) has been received normally, and transmit one H'55 byte to the LSI. If reception

cannot be performed normally, initiate boot mode again (reset), and repeat the above operations.

Depending on the host’s transmission bit rate and the LSI’s system clock frequency, there will be

a discrepancy between the bit rates of the host and the LSI. To ensure correct SCI operation, the

host's transfer bit rate should be set to 9,600 or 4,800 bps.

Table 22.7 shows host transfer bit rates and system clock frequencies for which automatic

adjustment of the LSI bit rate is possible. The boot program should be executed within this system

clock range.
