Figure 13.21 Receive Data Sampling Timing in Asynchronous Mode
The receive margin in asynchronous mode can therefore be expressed as shown in equation 1.
Equation 1:
M = 0.5 – – (L – 0.5)F – (1 + F ) × 100%

2N
D – 0.5
N
M: Receive margin (%)
N: Ratio of clock frequency to bit rate (N = 16)
D: Clock duty cycle (D = 0 to 1.0)
L: Frame length (L = 9 to 12)
F: Absolute deviation of clock frequency
From equation (1), if F = 0 and D = 0.5 the receive margin is 46.875%, as given by equation 2.
Equation 2:
D = 0.5, F = 0
M = (0.5 – 1/(2 × 16)) × 100%
= 46.875% (2)
This is a theoretical value. A reasonable margin to allow in system designs is 20–30%.
