Clock Generation

The Clock Generation logic generates the base clock for the Transmitter and Receiver. The

USART supports four modes of clock operation: Normal asynchronous, Double Speed asyn-

chronous, Master synchronous and Slave synchronous mode. The UMSELn bit in USART

Control and Status Register C (UCSRnC) selects between asynchronous and synchronous

operation. Double Speed (asynchronous mode only) is controlled by the U2Xn found in the

UCSRnA Register. When using synchronous mode (UMSELn = 1), the Data Direction Register

for the XCKn pin (DDR_XCKn) controls whether the clock source is internal (Master mode) or

external (Slave mode). The XCKn pin is only active when using synchronous mode.

Figure 17-2 shows a block diagram of the clock generation logic.

Internal Clock Generation – The Baud Rate Generator

Internal clock generation is used for the asynchronous and the synchronous master modes of

operation. The description in this section refers to Figure 17-2.

The USART Baud Rate Register (UBRRn) and the down-counter connected to it function as a

programmable prescaler or baud rate generator. The down-counter, running at system clock

osc), is loaded with the UBRRn value each time the counter has counted down to zero or when

the UBRRnL Register is written. A clock is generated each time the counter reaches zero. This

clock is the baud rate generator clock output (= f

osc/(UBRRn+1)). The Transmitter divides the

baud rate generator clock output by 2, 8 or 16 depending on mode. The baud rate generator out-

put is used directly by the Receiver’s clock and data recovery units. However, the recovery units

use a state machine that uses 2, 8 or 16 states depending on mode set by the state of the

UMSELn, U2Xn and DDR_XCKn bits.
