21.4.5.5.1 Slow Data Tolerance
Figure 21-19 shows how much a slow received frame 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.
Figure 21-19. Slow Data
For an 8-bit data character, data sampling of the stop bit takes the receiver RT clock 151 clock cycles, as
is shown below:
With the misaligned character shown in Figure 21-19, the receiver counts 151 RT cycles at the point when
the count of the transmitting device is 9 bit times x 16 RT cycles = 147 RT cycles.
The maximum percent difference between the receiver count and the transmitter count of a slow 8-bit data
character with no errors is 4.63%, as is shown below:
For a 9-bit data character, data sampling of the stop bit takes the receiver 167 RT cycles, as is shown below:
With the misaligned character shown in Figure 21-19, the receiver counts 167 RT cycles at the point when
the count of the transmitting device is 10 bit times x 16 RT cycles = 160 RT cycles.
The maximum percent difference between the receiver count and the transmitter count of a slow 9-bit
character with no errors is 4.19%, as is shown below:
