USART Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)
(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. In Asynchronous
mode, bit BRGH (TXSTA<2>) also controls the baud
rate. In Synchronous mode, bit BRGH is ignored.
Table 11-1 shows the formula for computation of the
baud rate for different USART modes, which only apply
in Master mode (internal clock).

Given the desired baud rate and Fosc, the nearest inte-
ger value for the SPBRG register can be calculated
using the formula in Table 11-1. From this, the error in
baud rate can be determined.

baud rate can be determined.
It may be advantageous to use the high baud rate
(BRGH = 1) even for slower baud clocks. This is
because the F
(BRGH = 1) even for slower baud clocks. This is
because the F
OSC
/(16(X + 1)) equation can reduce the
baud rate error in some cases.
Writing a new value to the SPBRG register causes the
BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This ensures the
BRG does not wait for a timer overflow before output-
ting the new baud rate.

SAMPLING
The data on the RC7/RX/DT pin is sampled three times
near the center of each bit time by a majority detect cir-
cuit to determine if a high or a low level is present at the
RX pin.
