Chapter 11:
Communication Prescaler
11.1 Outline
The operation clock for the UART is obtained by dividing the machine clock. UART is designed so that a
constant baud rate can be obtained for a variety of machine clocks by the user of the communication
prescaler. The Clock Division Control Register (CDCR) controls the machine clock division.
