Parity; Data Bits (Ascii Format) - Motorola DS6878 Reference Manual

Parity

A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Select the parity type according to host
device requirements.
•
Select Odd parity and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an odd number of 1
bits are contained in the coded character.
•
Select Even parity and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an even number of 1
bits are contained in the coded character.
•
Select None when no parity bit is required.
