External Clock
Synchronous Clock Operation
Setting this bit will reduce the divisor of the baud rate divider from 16 to 8, effectively doubling
the transfer rate for asynchronous communication. Note however that the receiver will in this
case only use half the number of samples (reduced from 16 to 8) for data sampling and clock
recovery, and therefore a more accurate baud rate setting and system clock are required when
this mode is used. For the Transmitter, there are no downsides.
External clocking is used by the synchronous slave modes of operation. The description in this
section refers to
External clock input from the XCK pin is sampled by a synchronization register to minimize the
chance of meta-stability. The output from the synchronization register must then pass through
an edge detector before it can be used by the transmitter and receiver. This process introduces
a two CPU clock period delay and therefore the maximum external XCK clock frequency is lim-
ited by the following equation:
Note that f
add some margin to avoid possible loss of data due to frequency variations.
When Synchronous mode is used (UMSEL = 1), the XCK pin will be used as either clock input
(slave) or clock output (master). The dependency between the clock edges and data sampling or
data change is the same. The basic principle is that data input (on RxD) is sampled at the oppo-
site XCK clock edge of the edge the data output (TxD) is changed.

The UCPOL bit UCRSC selects which XCK clock edge is used for data sampling and which is
used for data change. As

falling XCK edge and sampled at rising XCK edge.
