#110586 - YES!, I would not even dream of driving Responding to: ???'s previous message |
That suggests that you'd like 11.9808 MHz just fine as a UART crystal, and that's a handy rate for an NTSC-compatible CRT display with 16 lines of 64 characters, as is used on a number of machines.
I have deliberately switched from 11.0592 to "UART" crystal because I do not use that any more, I use faster clocks, but still "UART frequencies". I just checked the KEIL rate calculator to make sure they both have 0% error ... NO, I do not "like" 11.9808 MHz, with T1 it can only match to 4800 baud, which, today, is not acceptable. and that's a handy rate for an NTSC-compatible CRT display with 16 lines of 64 characters, as is used on a number of machines. Now, if you had to stay in sync with that dot-clock, or UART crystal, or that, divided by 8 so as to avoid disrupting the display, would it be OK with you? Would you still prefer 11.059? YES!, I would not even dream of driving such a display with a '51 that had to do other things as well, thus which frequency the "UART connected" unit runs at is irrelevant. BTW the displays I use have a 115k TTL level standard async interface. Erik |
