Serial Communications Interface (SCI)
Idle-Line Wake-Up Mode
Idle time separates blocks of frames
Receiver wakes up when SCIRXD high for 10 or
more bit periods
Two transmit address methods
deliberate software delay of 10 or more bits
set TXWAKE bit to automatically leave exactly
11 idle bits

Address-Bit Wake-Up Mode
