19.3.1.1 Normal Monitor Mode
When VTST is applied to IRQ and PTC3 is low upon monitor mode entry, the bus frequency is a
divide-by-two of the input clock. If PTC3 is high with VTST applied to IRQ upon monitor mode entry, the
bus frequency will be a divide-by-four of the input clock. Holding the PTC3 pin low when entering monitor
mode causes a bypass of a divide-by-two stage at the oscillator only if VTST is applied to IRQ. In this
event, the CGMOUT frequency is equal to the CGMXCLK frequency, and the OSC1 input directly
generates internal bus clocks. In this case, the OSC1 signal must have a 50% duty cycle at maximum bus
frequency.

1. PTA0 must have a pullup resistor to VDD in monitor mode.
2. Communication speed in the table is an example to obtain a baud rate of 9600.
Baud rate using external oscillator is bus frequency / 256.
3. External clock is a 4.1952 MHz or 9.8304 MHz canned oscillator on OSC1.
4. X = don’t care.
5. MON08 pin refers to P&E Microcomputer Systems’ MONOUT-Cyclone 2 by 8-pin connector.
