Typical Baud Rates and Errors
Standard baud rate frequency data for UxBRx and UxMCTL are listed in
Table 14−2 for a 32,768-Hz watch crystal (ACLK) and a typical 1,048,576-Hz
SMCLK.
The receive error is the accumulated time versus the ideal scanning time in the
middle of each bit. The transmit error is the accumulated timing error versus
the ideal time of the bit period.
