But, in a literal sense, “baud” refers to the number of changes in a line condition per second. If the only changes in the line condition are binary (on and off), then bits per second equal baud. But ...

Bit rate is typically seen in terms of the actual data rate. Yet for most serial transmissions, the data represents part of a more complex protocol frame or packet ...

Automatic baud-rate detection is desirable in many applications. Microchip’s standard USART module that the company embeds in most of its PIC microcontrollers lends itself to a simple and easily ...

One cost-saving measure associated with 8-bit embedded microcontrollers is to use a resistor-capacitor oscillator. These RC oscillators are inexpensive, but the trade-off is low stability with ...
