Internal Clock Generation –
The Baud Rate Generator

ATmega640/1280/1281/2560/2561
Internal clock generation is used for the asynchronous and the synchronous master
modes of operation. The description in this section refers to Figure 83.
The USART Baud Rate Register (UBRRn) and the down-counter connected to it func-
tion as a programmable prescaler or baud rate generator. The down-counter, running at
system clock (f
down to zero or when the UBRRLn 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 UMSELn,
U2Xn and DDR_XCKn bits.
Table 101 contains equations for calculating the baud rate (in bits per second) and for
calculating the UBRRn value for each mode of operation using an internally generated
clock source.
