Serial Communications Interface (SCI)
To verify a stop bit and to detect noise, recovery logic takes samples at RT8, RT9, and RT10. Table 18-7
summarizes the results of the stop bit samples.

18.4.3.4 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.
18.4.3.5 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
error occurs. In most applications, the baud rate tolerance is much more than the degree of misalignment
that is likely to occur.
As the receiver samples an incoming character, it resynchronizes the RT clock on any valid falling edge
within the character. Resynchronization within characters corrects misalignments between transmitter bit
times and receiver bit times.
Slow Data Tolerance
Figure 18-9 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.
