16.4.3.3 Data Sampling
The receiver samples the RxD pin at the RT clock rate. The RT clock is an internal signal with a frequency
16 times the baud rate. To adjust for baud rate mismatch, the RT clock is resynchronized at the following
times (see Figure 16-6):
• After every start bit
• After the receiver detects a data bit change from logic 1 to logic 0 (after the majority of data bit
samples at RT8, RT9, and RT10 returns a valid logic 1 and the majority of the next RT8, RT9, and
RT10 samples returns a valid logic 0)
To locate the start bit, data recovery logic does an asynchronous search for a logic 0 preceded by three
logic 1s. When the falling edge of a possible start bit occurs, the RT clock begins to count to 16.

To verify the start bit and to detect noise, data recovery logic takes samples at RT3, RT5, and RT7.
Table 16-2 summarizes the results of the start bit verification samples.

If start bit verification is not successful, the RT clock is reset and a new search for a start bit begins.
