RCKB — SCI Baud Rate Clock Check (Test)
SCR[2:0] — SCI Baud Rate Selects
Selects receiver and transmitter bit rate based on output from baud rate prescaler
stage. Refer to the SCI baud rate generator block diagram.

The prescaler bits, SCP[2:0], determine the highest baud rate, and the SCR[2:0] bits
select an additional binary submultiple (≥1, ≥2, ≥4, through ≥128) of this highest baud
rate. The result of these two dividers in series is the 16X receiver baud rate clock. The
SCR[2:0] bits are not affected by reset and can be changed at any time, although they
should not be changed when any SCI transfer is in progress.
Figure 7-3 and Figure 7-4 illustrate the SCI baud rate timing chain. The prescaler se-
lect bits determine the highest baud rate. The rate select bits determine additional di-
vide by two stages to arrive at the receiver timing (RT) clock rate. The baud rate clock
is the result of dividing the RT clock by 16.
