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 60. 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 144). The error values are calculated using the following equation:
