2.6 SERIAL PORT
The ACEs (Asynchronous Communication Elements ACE1 to ACE4) are used to convert parallel data to a serial
format on the transmit side and convert serial data to parallel on the receiver side. The serial format, in order of
transmission and reception, is a start bit, followed by five to eight data bits, a parity bit (if programmed) and one,
one and half (five-bit format only) or two stop bits. The ACEs are capable of handling divisors of 1 to 65535, and
MODEM control capability, and a processor interrupt system that may be software tailored to the computing time

3.2.14 CPU Setting
The AR-B1462 accepts many types of microprocessors such as Intel/AMD/Cyrix 486DX/DX2/DX4. All of these
CPUs include an integer processing unit, floating-point processing unit, memory-management unit, and cache.
They can give a two to ten-fold performance improvement in speed over the 386 processor, depending on the
clock speeds used and specific application. Like the 386 processor, the 486 processor includes both segment-
based and page-based memory protection schemes. The instruction of processing time is reduced by on-chip
instruction pipelining. By performing fast, on-chip memory management and caching, the 486 processor relaxes
