Using timer 1 to generate baud rates:
In mode 1 and 3 of serial interface 0 timer 1 can be used for generating baud rates. Then the baud
rate is determined by the timer 1 overflow rate and the value of SMOD as follows:
2^SMOD
Mode 1, 3 baud rate =
x (timer 1 overflow rate)
32
The timer 1 interrupt is usually disabled in this application. Timer 1 itself can be configured for either
“timer” or “counter” operation, and in any of its operating modes. In most typical applications, it is
configured for “timer” operation in the auto-reload mode (high nibble of TMOD = 0010B). In this
case the baud rate is given by the formula:
2^SMOD x oscillator frequency
Mode 1, 3 baud rate =
32 x 6 x PRSC x (256 – (TH1))
PRSC is the prescaler ratio
which is selected via the bits
T1P1 and T1P0 in the special
function register PRSC.

Very low baud rates can be achieved with timer 1 if leaving the timer 1 interrupt enabled, configuring
the timer to run as 16-bit timer (high nibble of TMOD = 0001B), and using the timer 1 interrupt for a
16-bit software reload.
