Preliminary
the verification samples RT3 and RT5 determine that the first low detected was noise and
not the beginning of a start bit. The RT clock is reset and the start bit search begins again. The noise flag
is not set because the noise occurred before the start bit was found.

Framing Errors
If the data recovery logic sets the framing error flag, ESCI
x
_SR[FE], it does not detect a logic 1 where the
stop bit should be in an incoming frame. A break character also sets the FE flag because a break character
has no stop bit. The FE flag is set at the same time that the RDRF flag is set.
24.4.4.5
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 (RT8, RT9, and RT10) to fall outside
the actual stop bit. A noise error occurs if the RT8, RT9, and RT10 samples are not all the same logical
values. A framing error occurs if the receiver clock is misaligned in such a way that the majority of the
RT8, RT9, and RT10 stop bit samples are a logic zero.
As the receiver samples an incoming frame and re-synchronizes the RT clock on any valid falling edge
within the frame. Re-synchronization within frames will correct a misalignment between transmitter bit
times and receiver bit times.
