NOTES
• Results from the formula are rounded down to the nearest whole number (i.e 73.07
= 73).
• This formula becomes less acurate as baud rates increase, due to rounding.
• Place the speed result backwards into the formula to receive the actual baud rate.
(Baud =
CrystalSpeed
8 (speed+1)
)
• The actual baud rate must be within 3% of the intended baud rate for the device to
communicate.
NOTES
• This command is not available in I 2 C mode.
