CHAPTER 21 UART/SIO DEDICATED BAUD RATE GENERATOR
21.1
Overview of UART/SIO Dedicated Baud Rate Generator
The UART/SIO dedicated baud rate generator generates the baud rate for the UART/SIO.
The generator consists of the UART/SIO dedicated baud rate generator prescaler
selection register (PSSR) and UART/SIO dedicated baud rate generator baud rate
setting register (BRSR).

Prescaler
Input Clock
The UART/SIO dedicated baud rate generator uses the output clock from the prescaler or the machine
clock as its input clock.
Output Clock
The UART/SIO dedicated baud rate generator supplies its clock to the UART/SIO.
