clock is used instead of a crystal, X1 must be driven and X2 left
floating as shown in Figure 9. The clock serves as the basic timing
reference for the baud rate generator (BRG), the counter/timer, and
other internal circuits. A clock frequency, within the limits specified in
the electrical specifications, must be supplied even if the internal
BRG is not used.

BRG
The baud rate generator operates from the oscillator or external
clock input and is capable of generating 26 commonly used data
communications baud rates ranging from 50 to 115.2K baud.
Thirteen of these are available simultaneously for use by the
receiver and transmitter. Eight are fixed, and one of two sets of five
can be selected by programming ACR[7]. The clock outputs from
the BRG are at 16X the actual baud rate. The counter/timer can be
used as a timer to produce a 16X clock for any other baud rate by
counting down the crystal clock or an external clock. The clock
selectors allow the independent selection, by the receiver and
transmitter, of any of these baud rates or an external timing signal.
Counter–Timer
The four Counter/Timers are programmable 16 bit dividers that are
used for generating miscellaneous clocks or generating timeout
