NOTE: The RT8, RT9, and RT10 samples do not affect start bit verification. If 
any or all of the RT8, RT9, and RT10 start bit samples are logic 1s 
following a successful start bit verification, the noise flag (NF) is set and 
the receiver assumes that the bit is a start bit.
To verify a stop bit and to detect noise, recovery logic takes samples at 
RT8, RT9, and RT10. Table 13-4 summarizes the results of the stop bit 
samples.
13.7.3.4 Framing Errors
If the data recovery logic does not detect a logic 1 where the stop bit 
should be in an incoming character, it sets the framing error bit, FE, in 
SCS1. The FE flag is set at the same time that the SCRF bit is set. A 
break character that has no stop bit also sets the FE bit.
13.7.3.5 Baud Rate Tolerance
A transmitting device may be operating at a baud rate below or above 
the receiver baud rate. Accumulated bit time misalignment can cause 
one of the three stop bit data samples to fall outside the actual stop bit. 
Then a noise error occurs. If more than one of the samples is outside the 
stop bit, a framing error occurs. In most applications, the baud rate 
tolerance is much more than the degree of misalignment that is likely to 
occur.
