Asserting the RESET pin Low to initiate a Reset.
Driving the DBG pin Low while the device is in STOP mode initiates a System Reset.
OCD Data Format
The OCD interface uses the asynchronous data format defined for RS-232. Each character
is transmitted as 1 Start bit, 8 data bits (least-significant bit first), and 1.5 Stop bits as
shown in Figure 26.

OCD Auto-Baud Detector/Generator
To run over a range of baud rates (data bits per second) with various system clock frequen-
cies, the On-Chip Debugger contains an Auto-Baud Detector/Generator. After a reset, the
OCD is idle until it receives data. The OCD requires that the first character sent from the
host is the character 80H. The character 80Hhas eight continuous bits Low (one Start bit
plus 7 data bits), framed between High bits. The Auto-Baud Detector measures this period
and sets the OCD Baud Rate Generator accordingly.
The Auto-Baud Detector/Generator is clocked by the system clock. The minimum baud
rate is the system clock frequency divided by 512. For optimal operation with asynchro-
nous datastreams, the maximum recommended baud rate is the system clock frequency
divided by 8. The maximum possible baud rate for asynchronous datastreams is the sys-
tem clock frequency divided by 4, but this theoretical maximum is possible only for low
noise designs with clean signals. Table 108 lists minimum and recommended maximum
baud rates for sample crystal frequencies.
