The L580 UART has its own Baud Rate Generator (BRG) with a prescaler. The prescaler is controlled by a
software bit (bit-7) in the MCR register. This bit selects the prescaler to divide the input crystal or external clock
by a factor of 1 or 4. The clock output of the prescaler goes to the BRG. The BRG further divides this clock by
a programmable divisor (via DLL and DLM registers) between 1 and (2
clock of the serial data rate. The sampling rate clock is used by the transmitter for data bit shifting and receiver
for data sampling. The BRG divisor defaults to the maximum baud rate (DLL = 0x01 and DLM = 0x00) upon
power up.
Programming the Baud Rate Generator Registers DLM and DLL provides the capability of selecting the
operating data rate.
clock at 16X sampling rate clock rate. When using a non-standard data rate crystal or external clock, the
divisor value can be calculated for DLL/DLM with the following equation.
