Dear All, I am having difficulty in deciding what speed resonator/crystal to run a micro off and it is coming down to what the tolerances are for communicating with the UART in a PC at the standard 9600bps. I have looked up the datasheets for the National 16C550 UART but there is a lack of timing diagrams to show me what I need to know. The closest I can get my micro to 9600bps, is 9420bps, and I have no idea whether this has a chance of working after taking into account the tolerance of the resonator has on the bps rating. regards, SW.
