8.3 XCLK

This is the output clock signal used by the transmitter portion of the UART. It is

generally connected to the UART's own receive clock input (RCLK). This is done by
connecting pins 3 and 6 of the jumper block. If desired, XCLK can be transmitted to an
external source over the AUXOUT line by connecting pins 5 and 6 of the jumper block.
Figure 21 shows how to select the XCLK mode.

8.4 AUXIN/AUXOUT Loopback

The AUXIN signal is an input from the external device, and connecting it to the

AUXOUT signal provides for a loopback mode of operation. In other words, whatever
signal is transmitted by the external device over the AUXIN line will be fed back to the
external device over the AUXOUT line. This mode is accomplished by connecting pins
2 and 5 of the jumper block. Figure 22 shows how to select this loopback mode.
