Notes 1.  Transfer rate in the SNOOZE mode is 4800 bps only. 
 2. Use it with EVDD0≥Vb. 
 3.  The following conditions are required for low voltage interface when EVDD0 < VDD. 
2.4 V ≤ EV
DD0 < 2.7 V : MAX. 2.6 Mbps 
1.8 V ≤ EVDD0 < 2.4 V : MAX. 1.3 Mbps 
  4.  The maximum operating frequencies of the CPU/peripheral hardware clock (f
CLK) are: 
HS (high-speed main) mode:  32 MHz (2.7 V ≤ V
DD ≤ 5.5 V) 
  16 MHz (2.4 V ≤ V
DD ≤ 5.5 V) 
LS (low-speed main) mode:  8 MHz (1.8 V ≤ VDD ≤ 5.5 V) 
LV (low-voltage main) mode:  4 MHz (1.6 V ≤ V
DD ≤ 5.5 V) 
Caution  Select the TTL input buffer for the RxDq pin and the N-ch open drain output (V
DD tolerance (When 
20- to 52-pin products)/EV
DD tolerance (When 64- to 128-pin products)) mode for the TxDq pin by 
using port input mode register g (PIMg) and port output mode register g (POMg). For VIH and VIL, 
see the DC characteristics with TTL input buffer selected. 
Remarks  1. V
b[V]: Communication line voltage 
 2. q: UART number (q = 0 to 3), g: PIM and POM number (g = 0, 1, 8, 14) 
 3. f
MCK: Serial array unit operation clock frequency 
(Operation clock to be set by the CKSmn bit of serial mode register mn (SMRmn). m: Unit number,  
n: Channel number (mn = 00 to 03, 10 to 13) 
 4. UART2 cannot communicate at different potential when bit 1 (PIOR1) of peripheral I/O redirection 
register (PIOR) is 1.
