2001-08-17 - Use power line (& PIC16F627) for baud-rate generation - Posted by: Jeff Frohwein
"You can find a low-frequency, stable clock source and use it to calibrate a baud-rate generator or event timer. One source of a low-frequency, stable clock is the line voltage. This voltage is a good source 50- or 60-Hz frequency that you can easily interface to the microcontroller's 16-bit timer. By counting CPU cycles for a half cycle of the external clock, you can determine the frequency of the microcontroller's internal RC oscillator and calibrate the baud rate."
