19.5.1.34 Carrier Frequency Prescaler Register (CFPS)
Since the consumer IR (CIR) works at modulation rates of 30–56.8 kHz, the 48 MHz clock must be
prescaled before the clock can drive the IR logic. The carrier frequency prescaler register (CFPS) sets the
divisor rate to give a range to accommodate the remote control requirements in BAUD multiples of 12×.
The value of the CFPS at reset is 105 decimal (69h), which equates to a 38.1 kHz output from starting
conditions. The 48 MHz carrier is prescaled by the CFPS that is then divided by the 12× BAUD multiple.
The carrier frequency prescaler register (CFPS) is shown in Figure 19-67 and described in Table 19-65.
