31.6.3.3 Synchronous Receiver

In synchronous mode (SYNC = 1), the receiver samples the RXD signal on each rising edge of the Baud Rate

Clock. If a low level is detected, it is considered as a start. All data bits, the parity bit and the stop bits are sampled

and the receiver waits for the next start bit. Synchronous mode operations provide a high speed transfer capability.

Configuration fields and bits are the same as in asynchronous mode.

Figure 31-12 illustrates a character reception in synchronous mode.
