UART: Limited UART baud rates

Revision(s) Affected

IWRL6432 ES1.0, ES2.0

Details

Due to a design limitation (related to the clocking scheme), UART doesn’t support standard baud rates above 115200 bits per second. Higher baud rates up to 1.25Mbps can be supported but they are non-standard.

Applications requiring UART cannot use standard baud rates above 115200 bits per second

Workaround

It is recommended to use the following workarounds based on application needs:

  • Use of non-standard baud rates can provide up to 1.25Mbps throughput, if external MCU can support the same non-standard baud rates.

  • Use SPI instead, if use-case needs higher throughput.
