The baud-rate divisor is a 22-bit number consisting of a 16-bit integer and a 6-bit fractional part. The number formed by these two values is used by the baud-rate generator to determine the bit sample period. Having a fractional baud-rate divisor allows the UART to generate all of the standard baud-rates very accurately
The 16-bit integer is loaded through the UART Integer Baud-Rate Divisor UARTx.IBRD register and the 6-bit fractional part is loaded with the UART Fractional Baud-Rate Divisor UARTx.FBRD register.
The baud-rate divisor can be calculated by using the following formula:
UART clock is the clock output of the UART clock control logic, configured by CLKSEL and CLKDIV. Oversampling is selected by the HSE bit in the UARTx.CTL0 register and it can be 16, 8 or 3.
The integer part of BRD is loaded into UARTx.IBRD register. The 6-bit fractional number must be loaded into the UARTx.FBRD register.
The following example shows a simple method to calculate IBRD.DIVINT and FBRD.DIVFRAC for a baud rate of 19200 bit/s:
When updating the baud-rate divisor (UARTx.IBRD or UARTx.IFRD), the UART.LCRH register must also be written, so any changes to the baud-rate divisor must be followed by a write to the LCRH register for the changes to take effect. The contents of the UART.IBRD and UART.FBRD registers are not updated until transmission or reception of the current character is complete.
