2.10 Programmable Baud Rate Generator
Each UART has its own Baud Rate Generator (BRG) with a prescaler. The prescaler is controlled by CLKSEL
hardware pin or a software bit in the MCR register. The MCR register bit-7 sets the prescaler to divide the input
crystal or external clock by 1 or 4 and can override the CLKSEL pin following reset. The clock output of the
prescaler goes to the BRG. The BRG further divides this clock by a programmable divisor between 1 and (2¹⁶ -
1) to obtain a 16X sampling rate clock of the serial data rate. The sampling rate clock is used by the transmitter
for data bit shifting and receiver for data sampling. The BRG divisor defaults to the maximum baud rate (DLL =
0x01 and DLM = 0x00) upon power up.

Programming the Baud Rate Generator Registers DLM and DLL provides the capability of selecting the
operating data rate. Table 6 shows the standard data rates available with a 14.7456 MHz crystal or external
clock at 16X sampling rate clock rate. A 16X sampling clock is typically used. However, user can select the 8X
sampling clock rate mode (EMSR bit-7=0) to double the operating data rate. When using a non-standard data
rate crystal or external clock, the divisor value can be calculated for DLL/DLM with the following equation.
divisor (decimal) = (XTAL1 clock frequency / prescaler) / (serial data rate x 16), with 16XMode [EMSR bit-7] = 1
divisor (decimal) = (XTAL1 clock frequency / prescaler) / (serial data rate x 8), with 16XMode [EMSR bit-7] = 0
