11.2 Block description
11.2.6 UARTi baud rate register (BRGi)
The UARTi baud rate register (BRGi) is an 8-bit timer exclusively used for UARTi to generate a transfer
clock. It has a reload register. Assuming that the value set in the BRGi is “n” (n = “0016” to “FF16”), the BRGi
divides the count source frequency by (n + 1).
In the clock synchronous serial I/O mode, the BRGi is valid when an internal clock is selected, and the
BRGi’s output divided by 2 becomes the transfer clock. In the UART mode, the BRGi is always valid, and
the BRGi’s output divided by 16 becomes the transfer clock.
The data written to the BRGi is written to both the timer and the reload register whichever transmission/
reception is in progress or not. Accordingly, writing to these register must be performed while transmission/
reception halts.
Figure 11.2.10 shows the structure of the UARTi baud rate register (BRGi); Figure 11.2.11 shows the block
diagram of transfer clock generating section.

Function
At reset R/W
Any value in the range from “0016” to “FF16” can be set.
Assuming that the set value = n, BRGi divides the count source frequency by (n + 1).

Note: Writing to this register must be performed while the transmission/reception halts.
Use the MOVM (MOVMB) or STA (STAB, STAD) instruction for writing to this register.
