19.1.3
The Enhanced USART module supports the automatic
detection and calibration of baud rate. This feature is
active only in Asynchronous mode and while the WUE
bit is clear.
The automatic baud rate measurement sequence
(Figure 19-1) begins whenever a Start bit is received
and the ABDEN bit is set. The calculation is
self-averaging.
In the Auto-Baud Rate Detect (ABD) mode, the clock to
the BRG is reversed. Rather than the BRG clocking the
incoming RXx signal, the RXx signal is timing the BRG.
In ABD mode, the internal BRG is used as a counter to
time the bit period of the incoming serial byte stream.
Once the ABDEN bit is set, the state machine will clear
the BRG and look for a Start bit. The ABD must receive
a byte with the value, 55h (ASCII “U”, which is also the
LIN bus Sync character), in order to calculate the proper
bit rate. The measurement is taken over both a low and
high bit time in order to minimize any effects caused by
asymmetry of the incoming signal. After a Start bit, the
SPBRGx begins counting up, using the preselected
clock source on the first rising edge of RXx. After eight
bits on the RXx pin or the fifth rising edge, an accumu-
lated value totalling the proper BRG period is left in the
SPBRGHx:SPBRGx register pair. Once the 5
seen (this should correspond to the Stop bit), the
ABDEN bit is automatically cleared.
If a rollover of the BRG occurs (an overflow from FFFFh
to 0000h), the event is trapped by the ABDOVF status
bit (BAUDCONx<7>). It is set in hardware by BRG roll-
overs and can be set or cleared by the user in software.
ABD mode remains active after rollover events and the
ABDEN bit remains set (Figure 19-2).
While calibrating the baud rate period, the BRG
registers are clocked at 1/8
rate. Note that the BRG clock will be configured by the
BRG16 and BRGH bits. Independent of the BRG16 bit
setting, both the SPBRGx and SPBRGHx will be used
as a 16-bit counter. This allows the user to verify that
no carry occurred for 8-bit modes by checking for 00h
in the SPBRGHx register.
Refer to Table 19-4 for counter clock rates to the BRG.
While the ABD sequence takes place, the EUSART
state machine is held in Idle. The RCxIF interrupt is set
once the fifth rising edge on RXx is detected. The value
in the RCREGx needs to be read to clear the RCxIF
interrupt. The contents of RCREGx should be
discarded.

Since the BRG clock is reversed during ABD acquisi-
tion, the EUSART transmitter cannot be used during
ABD. This means that whenever the ABDEN bit is set,
TXREGx cannot be written to. Users should also
ensure that ABDEN does not become set during a
transmit sequence. Failing to do this may result in
unpredictable EUSART operation.

During the ABD sequence, SPBRGx and

counter, independent of BRG16 setting.
Auto-Baud Rate Detection will occur on
the byte following the Break character.
incoming character baud rate is within the
range of the selected BRG clock source.
Some combinations of oscillator frequency
and EUSART baud rates are not possible
due to bit error rates. Overall system tim-
ing and communication baud rates must
be taken into consideration when using the
Auto-Baud Rate Detection feature.
