Functional Description
16.5.3.4 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.
16.5.3.5 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 16-9 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.
