Bit 5: Parity Enable (PE)
In asynchronous mode, selects whether or not parity bit addition is performed in transmission,
and parity bit checking in reception. In synchronous mode, or when a multiprocessor format is
used, parity bit addition and checking is not performed, regardless of the PE bit setting.
Bit 5

Description
0
Parity bit addition and checking disabled
1
Parity bit addition and checking enabled*
Note:
*
When the PE bit is set to 1, the parity (even or odd) specified by the O/
to transmit data before transmission. In reception, the parity bit is checked for the
parity (even or odd) specified by the O/
Bit 4: Parity Mode (O/
Selects either even or odd parity for use in parity addition and checking.
The O/
bit setting is only valid when the PE bit is set to 1, enabling parity bit addition and
checking, in asynchronous mode. The O/
parity bit addition and checking is disabled in asynchronous mode, and when a multiprocessor
format is used.
Bit 4

Description
0
Even parity
1
Even parity
Notes: 1. When even parity is set, parity bit addition is performed in transmission so that the
total number of 1 bits in the transmit character plus the parity bit is even. In reception,
a check is performed to see if the total number of 1 bits in the receive character plus
the parity bit is even.
2. When odd parity is set, parity bit addition is performed in transmission so that the total
number of 1 bits in the transmit character plus the parity bit is odd. In reception, a
check is performed to see if the total number of 1 bits in the receive character plus the
parity bit is odd.
