Baud Rate Generator (BRG)
The BRG is a dedicated, 8-bit or 16-bit generator that
supports both the Asynchronous and Synchronous
modes of the EUSART. By default, the BRG operates
in 8-bit mode; setting the BRG16 bit (BAUDCONx<3>)
selects 16-bit mode.
The SPBRGHx:SPBRGx register pair controls the period
of a free-running timer. In Asynchronous mode, bits,
BRGH (TXSTAx<2>) and BRG16 (BAUDCONx<3>),
also control the baud rate. In Synchronous mode, BRGH
is ignored.

the high baud rate (BRGH = 1) or the 16-bit BRG to
reduce the baud rate error, or achieve a slow baud rate
for a fast oscillator frequency.
reduce the baud rate error, or achieve a slow baud rate
for a fast oscillator frequency.
Writing a new value to the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx
registers causes the BRG timer to be reset (or cleared).
This ensures the BRG does not wait for a timer over-
flow before outputting the new baud rate. When
operated in the Synchronous mode, SPBRGH:SPBRG
values of 0000h and 0001h are not supported. In the
Asynchronous mode, all BRG values may be used.

OPERATION IN POWER-MANAGED
MODES
MODES
The device clock is used to generate the desired baud
rate. When one of the power-managed modes is
entered, the new clock source may be operating at a
different frequency. This may require an adjustment to
the value in the SPBRGx register pair.

SAMPLING
The data on the RXx pin (either RC7/RX1/DT1 or
RG2/RX2/DT2/AN18/C3INA) is sampled three times
by a majority detect circuit to determine if a high or a
low level is present at the RXx pin.
