20.3.1.4 Data Format
Communication with the monitor ROM is in standard non-return-to-zero (NRZ) mark/space data format.
Transmit and receive baud rates must be identical.

20.3.1.5 Break Signal
A start bit (logic 0) followed by nine logic 0 bits is a break signal. When the monitor receives a break signal,
it drives the PTA0 pin high for the duration of two bits and then echoes back the break signal.

20.3.1.6 Baud Rate
The communication baud rate is controlled by the crystal frequency or external clock and the state of the
PTB4 pin (when IRQ is set to V_TST) upon entry into monitor mode. If monitor mode was entered with V_DD
on IRQ and the reset vector blank, then the baud rate is independent of PTB4.
Table 20-1 also lists external frequencies required to achieve a standard baud rate of 7200 bps. The
effective baud rate is the bus frequency divided by 278. If using a crystal as the clock source, be aware
of the upper frequency limit that the internal clock module can handle. See 21.7 5.0-Volt Control Timing
or 21.6 3.3-Vdc Electrical Characteristics for this limit.
20.3.1.7 Commands
The monitor ROM firmware uses these commands:
• READ (read memory)
• WRITE (write memory)
• IREAD (indexed read)
• IWRITE (indexed write)
• READSP (read stack pointer)
• RUN (run user program)
