BT — Bit Time Value
BT displays the number of SLIC clocks that equals one bit time in LIN mode (BTM = 0). For details of 
the use of the SLCBT registers in LIN mode for trimming of the internal oscillator, refer to 
14.9.16 
Oscillator Trimming with SLIC
.
BT sets the number of SLIC clocks that equals one bit time in byte transfer mode (BTM = 1). For details 
of the use of the SLCBT registers in BTM mode, refer to 
14.9.15 Byte Transfer Mode Operation
.
NOTE
Do not write to unimplemented bits as unexpected operation may occur.
14.8.6  SLIC State Vector Register 
SLIC state vector register (SLCSV) is provided to substantially decrease the CPU overhead associated 
with servicing interrupts while under operation of a LIN protocol. It provides an index offset that is directly 
related to the LIN module’s current state, which can be used with a user supplied jump table to rapidly 
enter an interrupt service routine. This eliminates the need for the user to maintain a duplicate state 
machine in software.
READ: any time
WRITE: ignored
I[3:0] —
Interrupt State Vector (Bits 5–2)
These bits indicate the source of the interrupt request that is currently pending.
