Functional Description
To determine the value of a data bit and to detect noise, recovery logic takes samples at RT8, RT9, and
RT10. Table 16-3 summarizes the results of the data bit samples.

NOTE
The RT8, RT9, and RT10 samples do not affect start bit verification. If any
or all of the RT8, RT9, and RT10 start bit samples are logic 1s following a
successful start bit verification, the noise flag (NF) is set and the receiver
assumes that the bit is a start bit.
To verify a stop bit and to detect noise, recovery logic takes samples at RT8, RT9, and RT10. Table 16-4
summarizes the results of the stop bit samples.

16.4.3.4 Framing Errors
If the data recovery logic does not detect a logic 1 where the stop bit should be in an incoming character,
it sets the framing error bit, FE, in SCS1. A break character also sets the FE bit because a break character
has no stop bit. The FE bit is set at the same time that the SCRF bit is set.
16.4.3.5 Baud Rate Tolerance
A transmitting device may be operating at a baud rate below or above the receiver baud rate.
Accumulated bit time misalignment can cause one of the three stop bit data samples to fall outside the
actual stop bit. Then a noise error occurs. If more than one of the samples is outside the stop bit, a framing
