Question
A processor uses a serial link to communicate with a
keyboard for word processing. A typist using this
keyboard can type at rates peaking at 120 words per
minute, where a word is 6 characters (including spaces
and punctuation). The characters will be transmitted
from the keyboard in 8-bit ASCII with one stop bit and no parity.
Only consider these and no special characters.
The programmer writes setup and polling service routines
based on a minimum baud rate, but then finds that the
keyboard will only interface at 19.2 Kbaud. Will the polling
service routine have to change? Why or why not?
