Bit-rate generator
Each serial channel supports an independent programmable bit-rate generator. The
bit-rate generator runs both the transmitter and receiver of a given channel (there is
no split speed support).
You can configure the bit-rate generator to use external clock input or internal
system timing as its timing reference. This allows for a wider range of possible bit-
rates.
Table 364 describes all possible clock reference sources used by the bit-rate
generator.
