dividing it by any divisor from 1 to 65535. The Baud Rate Generator output is 16x the baud rate. Two 8-bit latches
store the divisor in 16-bit binary format. These Divisor Latches must be loaded during initialization in order to insure
desired operation of the Baud Rate Generator. Upon loading either of the Divisor Latches, a 16 bit Baud counter is
immediately loaded. This prevents long counts on initial load. If a 0 is loaded into the DDL and DDM registers the
BRG clock is divided by 3. If a 1 is loaded the output is the inverse of the input oscillator. If a two is loaded the clock
is divided by 2 with a 50% duty cycle. If a 3 or greater is loaded the output is low for 2 bits and high for the remainder
of the count. The input clock to the BRG is a 1.8462 MHz clock.
Table 9 shows the baud rates possible with a 1.8462 MHz clock.
