(1) Start bit
After a lapse of 1/2 bit from a mark-to-space fall edge, the state is read again, and if it is a space, it is
recognized as the start bit. If it is a mark, it is assumed neither the start bit nor an error, and it is
attempted to detect the start bit again.
(2) Data bit + parity bit
The data bit and parity bit are sampled for 1 bit worth of time from the 1/2 start bit. The then state
is assumed the data for the corresponding bit. A sequence of the bits are named Bit 0, Bit 1, ...,
parity bit, starting from the one closest to the start bit.
(3) Stop bit
The stop bit is a mark level of 1 bit or more. If a space is detected in detecting the stop bit, a
framing error results.
