13.1 USART Baud Rate Generator (BRG)

The BRG supports both the Asynchronous and Syn-

chronous modes of the USART. It is a dedicated 8-bit

baud rate generator. The SPBRG register controls the

period of a free running 8-bit timer. Table 13-1 shows

the formula for computation of the baud rate for differ-

ent USART modes. These only apply when the USART

is in synchronous master mode (internal clock) and

asynchronous mode.

Given the desired baud rate and Fosc, the nearest inte-

ger value between 0 and 255 can be calculated using

the formula below. The error in baud rate can then be

determined.

FOSC/(64(X+1))

FOSC/(4(X+1))

X = value in SPBRG (0 to 255)

Example 13-1 shows the calculation of the baud rate

error for the following conditions:

FOSC = 16 MHz

Desired Baud Rate = 9600

SYNC = 0

EXAMPLE 13-1: CALCULATING BAUD

RATE ERROR

Desired Baud rate=Fosc / (64 (X + 1))

9600 = 16000000 /(64 (X + 1))

X = 25.042 = 25

Calculated Baud Rate=16000000 / (64 (25 + 1))

= 9615

Error =

(Calculated Baud Rate - Desired Baud Rate)

Desired Baud Rate

= (9615 - 9600) / 9600

= 0.16%

Writing a new value to the SPBRG, causes the BRG

timer to be reset (or cleared), this ensures that the BRG

does not wait for a timer overflow before outputting the

new baud rate.
