Need to be clear urgency NRF52832 baud rate

[Venkatesan]

Hi,

We are using nRF52832,want to configure non standard baud rate 5787 as per our client request,

Is there formula to calculate the error and reg values please advice.

Thanks,

Venkatesan

Hi,

You can find a simplified formula in this thread (link). Note that you need to account for clock source accuracy (HFINT vs HFXO) in addition to any division error on the baudrate generator. I'd suggest that you use a logic analyzer or oscilloscope to measure the actual baudrate.

As per the provided thread

The formula is: Baudrate = desired baudrate * 2^32 / 16000000

                                               =5787*4294967296/16000000

                                               =5787*268.435456

                                              = 1553435.983872

 Baudrate of 5787 should then be 15534356 decimal =0x ED0914

then how to roundoff the value??for proceed further??Please help

Try 0x17B000

[Venkatesan]

Thank u  for the immediate response.

can i know how did u get this value??

[Venkatesan]

Also how about the error rate % ??

[Vidar Berg]

It was from some simulation values I had, but not sure what the division error is unfortunately. That is why wanted you to verify the baudrate by sampling the output signal and tune the baudrate register accordingly. Remember to start the HF crystal before measuring. 

EDIT: It looks like the actual baudrate will become 5785 when you set the register to 0x17B000. I.e. a division  error of ~0.04% percent. But please verify. 

[Venkatesan]

yea will try that.

Is there any tool to calculate the error??
