Functional Description
Slow Data Tolerance
Figure 14-8 shows how much a slow received character can be misaligned without causing a noise error
or a framing error. The slow stop bit begins at RT8 instead of RT1 but arrives in time for the stop bit data
samples at RT8, RT9, and RT10.

Figure 14-8. Slow Data
For an 8-bit character, data sampling of the stop bit takes the receiver 9 bit times × 16 RT cycles
+ 10 RT cycles = 154 RT cycles.
With the misaligned character shown in Figure 14-8, the receiver counts 154 RT cycles at the point when
the count of the transmitting device is 9 bit times × 16 RT cycles + 3 RT cycles = 147 RT cycles.
The maximum percent difference between the receiver count and the transmitter count of a slow 8-bit
character with no errors is:
1----5---4-----–_{----1----4---7-- × 100 = 4.54%}
154
For a 9-bit character, data sampling of the stop bit takes the receiver 10 bit times × 16 RT cycles
+ 10 RT cycles = 170 RT cycles.
With the misaligned character shown in Figure 14-8, the receiver counts 170 RT cycles at the point when
the count of the transmitting device is 10 bit times × 16 RT cycles + 3 RT cycles = 163 RT cycles.
The maximum percent difference between the receiver count and the transmitter count of a slow 9-bit
character with no errors is:
1----7---0-----–_{----1----6---3-- × 100 = 4.12%}
170
Fast Data Tolerance
Figure 14-9 shows how much a fast received character can be misaligned without causing a noise error
or a framing error. The fast stop bit ends at RT10 instead of RT16 but is still there for the stop bit data
samples at RT8, RT9, and RT10.
