• Bit 11:0 – UBRR11:0: USART Baud Rate Register
This is a 12-bit register which contains the USART baud rate. The UBRRH contains the four
most significant bits, and the UBRRL contains the 8 least significant bits of the USART baud
rate. Ongoing transmissions by the transmitter and receiver will be corrupted if the baud rate is
changed. Writing UBRRL will trigger an immediate update of the baud rate prescaler.
Examples of Baud
Rate Setting
For standard crystal and resonator frequencies, the most commonly used baud rates for asyn-
chronous operation can be generated by using the UBRR settings in Table 68. UBRR values
which yield an actual baud rate differing less than 0.5% from the target baud rate, are bold in the
table. Higher error ratings are acceptable, but the receiver will have less noise resistance when
the error ratings are high, especially for large serial frames (see “Asynchronous Operational
Range” on page 159). The error values are calculated using the following equation:
