Abstract
An electronic device includes a radio configured to operate at an operating frequency, and a first universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) configured to operate as a master and at a baud rate. The electronic device also includes a second UART configured to communicate with the first UART, operating as a slave. The second UART has a controller configured to generate a frequency shift based upon the operating frequency of the radio being evenly divisible by the baud rate, and a baud clock generator. The baud clock generator is configured to generate an operating baud rate from a master clock signal, with the operating baud rate to be the baud rate shifted by the frequency shift. Transmitter circuitry is configured to operate based on the operating baud rate, and receiver circuitry is configured to operate based on the operating baud rate.
