Signal description:
Internal clock generation is used for the asynchronous and the synchronous master
modes of operation. The description in this section refers to Figure 70.
The USART Baud Rate Register (UBRR) and the down-counter connected to it function
as a programmable prescaler or baud rate generator. The down-counter, running at sys-
tem clock (f
to zero or when the UBRRL Register is written. A clock is generated each time the
counter reaches zero. This clock is the baud rate generator clock output (=
f
16 depending on mode. The baud rate generator output is used directly by the
Receiver’s clock and data recovery units. However, the recovery units use a state
machine that uses 2, 8 or 16 states depending on mode set by the state of the UMSEL,
U2X and DDR_XCK bits.
Table 71 contains equations for calculating the baud rate (in bits per second) and for
calculating the UBRR value for each mode of operation using an internally generated
clock source.
