PRODUCTION DATA
The baud rate generator operates from the oscillator or external clock input at the X1 input and is capable of generating 28 commonly used data communications baud rates ranging from 50kBd to 38.4kBd. Programming bit 0 of MR0 to a logic 1 gives additional baud rates of 57.6kBd, 115.2kBd and 230.4kBd (500 kHz with X1 at 8MHz). Note that the MR0A[2:0] control this change and that the change applies to both channels. MR0B[2:0] are reserved.
The baud rates are based on an input frequency of 3.6864MHz. Changing the X1 frequency changes all baud rates by ratio of 3.6864MHz to the new frequency. All rates generated by the BRG is in the 16× mode. The clock outputs from the BRG are at 16× the actual baud rate.
The counter/timer can be used as a timer to produce a 16× clock for any other baud rate by counting down the crystal clock or an external clock. The four clock selectors allow the independent selection, for each receiver and transmitter, of any of these baud rates or external timing signal. The use of the counter/timer also requires the generation of a frequency 16× of the baud rate. See Section 5.3.6.3.
