Preliminary
2 EPS R/W 0 UART Even Parity Select
If this bit is set to 1, even parity generation and checking is
performed during transmission and reception, which checks for
an even number of 1s in data and parity bits.
When clea red to 0, then odd parity is performed, whi ch checks
for an odd number of 1s.
This bit has no effect when parity is disabled by the PEN bit.
1 PEN R/W 0 UART Parity Enable
If this bit is set to 1, parity checking and generation is enabled;
otherwise, parity is disabled and no parity bit is added to the data
frame.
0 BRK R/W 0 UART Send Break
If this bit is se t to 1, a Low level is continuall y output on the UnTX
output, after completing transmission of the current character.
For the proper execution of the break command, the software
must set this bit for at least two frames (character periods). For
normal use, this bit must be cleared to 0.
