EXAMPLE 20-1:
CALCULATING BAUD RATE ERROR
For a device with FOSC of 16 MHz, desired baud rate of 9600, Asynchronous mode, 8-bit BRG:
Desired Baud Rate = FOSC/(64 ([SPBRGH:SPBRG] + 1))
Solving for SPBRGH:SPBRG:
X
=
=
=
((FOSC/Desired Baud Rate)/64) – 1
((16000000/9600)/64) – 1
[25.042] = 25
Calculated Baud Rate = 16000000/(64 (25 + 1))
=
=
=
9615
Error
(Calculated Baud Rate – Desired Baud Rate)/Desired Baud Rate
(9615 – 9600)/9600 = 0.16%
