Description
Baud Rate
Generator
6071A–ATARM–28-Oct-04
The USART is capable of managing several types of serial synchronous or asynchronous
communications.
It supports the following communication modes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
The Baud Rate Generator provides the bit period clock named the Baud Rate Clock to both
the receiver and the transmitter.
The Baud Rate Generator clock source can be selected by setting the USCLKS field in the
Mode Register (US_MR) between:
•
•
•
The Baud Rate Generator is based upon a 16-bit divider, which is programmed with the CD
field of the Baud Rate Generator Register (US_BRGR). If CD is programmed at 0, the Baud
Rate Generator does not generate any clock. If CD is programmed at 1, the divider is
bypassed and becomes inactive.
If the external SCK clock is selected, the duration of the low and high levels of the signal pro-
vided on the SCK pin must be longer than a Master Clock (MCK) period. The frequency of the
signal provided on SCK must be at least 4.5 times lower than MCK.
