Baud rate for MCBX51 is getting doubled

HI All,

Can anyone help me in knowing what is the frequncy of operation of 8051 controller in a MCBx51 Board? Is it 12Mhz or 24 Mhz?

B'coz when I am configuring the timer value for 9600 baud, with 12 Mhz it can be recieved only at 19200 baud.

Thats why i think that the frequency of operation will be 24 Mhz.

  • hi,

    you have not specified the derivative used. It seems you use the part with X2 clock mode. In this case if you turn X2 mode on, then built-in peripheral works at twice speed (as long as you do not disable this feature with individual peripherals' X2 bits).

    Regards,
