12.5.14 USART Fractional Divider Register
The USART Fractional Divider Register (FDR) controls the clock pre-scaler for the baud
rate generation and can be read and written at the user’s discretion. This pre-scaler takes
the APB clock and generates an output clock according to the specified fractional
requirements.
Important:
If the fractional divider is active (DIVADDVAL > 0) and DLM = 0, the value of
the DLL register must be 3 or greater.
This register controls the clock pre-scaler for the baud rate generation. The reset value of
the register keeps the fractional capabilities of USART disabled making sure that USART
is fully software and hardware compatible with USARTs not equipped with this feature.
The USART baud rate can be calculated as:
(3)
Where UART_PCLK is the peripheral clock, DLM and DLL are the standard USART baud
rate divider registers, and DIVADDVAL and MULVAL are USART fractional baud rate
generator specific parameters.
The value of MULVAL and DIVADDVAL should comply to the following conditions:
1. 1
MULVAL
15
2. 0
DIVADDVAL
14
3. DIVADDVAL< MULVAL
The value of the FDR should not be modified while transmitting/receiving data or data may
be lost or corrupted.
If the FDR register value does not comply to these two requests, then the fractional divider
output is undefined. If DIVADDVAL is zero then the fractional divider is disabled, and the
clock will not be divided.
