many ways to calculate the two divisor factors, but one
particularly effective method would be to achieve a 1.8432
MHz frequency coming out of the first stage. The 1.8432
MHz prescaler output is then used to drive the software
programmable baud rate counter to create a 16x clock for
the following baud rates: 110, 134.5, 150, 300, 600, 1200,
1800, 2400, 3600, 4800, 7200, 9600, 19200 and 38400
(Table 19). Other baud rates may be created by using ap-
propriate divisors. The 16x clock is then divided by 16 to
provide the rate for the serial shift registers of the transmitter
and receiver.

asynchronous mode the baud rate could be as high as 625k.

As an example, considering Asynchronous Mode and a crys-
tal frequency of 4.608 MHz, the prescaler factor selected is:
(4.608 x 2)/1.8432 = 5
The 5 entry is available in Table 20. The 1.8432 MHz pres-
caler output is then used with proper Baud Rate Divisor
(Table 19) to obtain different baud rates. For a baud rate of
19200 e.g., the entry in Table 19 is 5.
N − 1 = 5 (N − 1 is the value from Table 19)
N = 6 (N is the Baud Rate Divisor)
Baud Rate = 1.8432 MHz/(16 x 6) = 19200
The divide by 16 is performed because in the asynchronous
mode, the input frequency to the USART is 16 times the
baud rate. The equation to calculate baud rates is given
below.
The actual Baud Rate may be found from:
BR = (F_C x 2)/(16 x N x P)
Where:
BR is the Baud Rate
F_C is the crystal frequency
N is the Baud Rate Divisor (Table 19)
P is the Prescaler Divide Factor selected by the value in the
Prescaler Select Register (Table 20)
Note: In the Synchronous Mode, the divisor 16 is replaced
by two.
Example:
Asynchronous Mode:
Crystal Frequency = 5 MHz
Desired baud rate = 19200
