S
Samples per bit. S = 16 for Normal Speed mode and S = 8 for Double Speed
mode.
S
F
First sample number used for majority voting. S
F = 8 for normal speed and SF = 4
for Double Speed mode.
S
M
Middle sample number used for majority voting. S
M = 9 for normal speed and
S
M = 5 for Double Speed mode.
R
slow
is the ratio of the slowest incoming data rate that can be accepted in relation to the
receiver baud rate. R
fast is the ratio of the fastest incoming data rate that can be
accepted in relation to the receiver baud rate.
that Normal Speed mode has higher toleration of baud rate variations.
The recommendations of the maximum receiver baud rate error was made under the assump-
tion that the Receiver and Transmitter equally divides the maximum total error.
There are two possible sources for the receivers baud rate error. The Receiver’s system clock
(XTAL) will always have some minor instability over the supply voltage range and the tempera-
ture range. When using a crystal to generate the system clock, this is rarely a problem, but for a
resonator the system clock may differ more than 2% depending of the resonators tolerance. The
second source for the error is more controllable. The baud rate generator can not always do an
exact division of the system frequency to get the baud rate wanted. In this case an UBRRn value
that gives an acceptable low error can be used if possible.
