The number of data bits, endianess, parity mode, and stop bits are selected by the same bits
and fields as for the transmitter (MR.CHRL, MODE9, MSBF, PAR, and NBSTOP). The synchro-
nization mechanism will only consider one stop bit, regardless of the used protocol, and when
the first stop bit has been sampled, the receiver will automatically begin looking for a new start
bit, enabling resynchronization even if there is a protocol miss-match. Figure 20-6 and Figure
20-7 illustrate start bit detection and character reception in asynchronous mode.

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