it is possible use the uart of lpc1114 in the mode of 9 bits? in the data sheet I see that only support the 8 bits data, and I don't know if could be possible use the parity bit like the nine bit by software? thanks

9-bit Serial Frames are not supported by LPC11xx or LPC17xx UART :(
It's possible to use a 9th bit to detect an address in RS485 mode, but that's all.
AFAIK this 9th bit is used as 'Mode Bit' in MDB, which sounds similar.

So it should be at least possible to read an Address with this 485 sample.

Yes, I refer that I could be use the uart with 9 bits data, I try to communicate with a coin changer that use the mdb protocol that use 9 bit data in uart, thanks for the data, best regards

Hi again, I cant configure the uart0 for the LPC1768 for work in 9 bit data mode, is there any example using the uart by software? best regards

Can you clarify what you mean by 9-bit mode a bit more? I assume you're referring to using a 9th bit for multi device communication (such as with RS-485). If that is the case please take a look at the "rs485" project included with the LPC11xx examples.
