TO is loaded to a decremental counter, and unless it is zero, a time-out will occur when the
amount of inactive bit periods match the initial counter value. If a time-out has not occurred, the
counter will reload and restart every time a new character arrives. A time-out sets the TIMEOUT
bit in CSR. Clearing TIMEOUT can be done in two ways:
• Writing a one to the Start Time-out bit (CR.STTTO). This also aborts count down until the
next character has been received.
• Writing a one to the Reload and Start Time-out bit (CR.RETTO). This also reloads the
counter and restarts count down immediately.

20.6.3.9 Framing Error
The receiver is capable of detecting framing errors. A framing error has occurred if a stop bit
reads as zero. This can occur if the transmitter and receiver are not synchronized. A framing
error is reported by CSR.FRAME as soon as the error is detected, at the middle of the stop bit.
