Table 23-3 and Table 23-4 on page 303 list the maximum receiver baud rate error that can be
tolerated. Normal speed mode has higher tolerance of baud rate variations.
The recommendations for the maximum receiver baud rate error assume that the receiver and
transmitter equally divide the maximum total error.
D Sum of character size and parity size (D = 5 to 10 bits).
S Samples per bit. S = 16 for normal speed mode and S = 8 for double speed mode.
S
F
First sample number used for majority voting. S
F
= 8 for normal speed mode and S
F
= 4 for dou-
ble speed mode.
S
M
Middle sample number used for majority voting. S
M
= 9 for normal speed mode and S
M
= 5 for
double speed mode.
R
slow
The ratio of the slowest incoming data rate that can be accepted in relation to the receiver baud
rate.
R
fast
The ratio of the fastest incoming data rate that can be accepted in relation to the receiver baud
rate.
