Does supply voltage effect baud rate?

[retepsnikrep]

When operating within the rated voltages of a pic 12F683 does the supply voltage effect the generated baud rate?

I'm struggling with series comms using a 12F683 at 4mhz sending 8N1 data using serout N9600.

I have a logic analyser and it reports the baud rate as 8696 which is around 10% off and I think causing my data corruption.

I have had this working before with a 4mhz clock for months. very odd? Any ideas?

If you have PBP 2.60 and are using SEROUT, you should apply the "A" patch that was released last week.

It fixes the SEROUT/IN baud rate.

Thanks for that i was pulling my hair out! It was working when compiled with earlier version :mad:

What exactly is the issue with it that has been corrected?

[Darrel Taylor]

Several things have been corrected, including those that were listed on the "Issues" page.

SERIN/OUT is the 4th one down ... (Commands affected: SERIN/SEROUT)

Can 9600 baud rate be supported at 4MHz?
I read 2400 is the safe option and in some cases 4800 can be supported at MAX.
