11.4.3.3 Data Sampling
The receiver samples the RxD pin at the RT clock rate. The RT clock is an internal signal with a frequency
16 times the baud rate. To adjust for baud rate mismatch, the RT clock is resynchronized at the following
times (see Figure 11-6):
• After every start bit
• After the receiver detects a data bit change from logic 1 to logic 0 (after the majority of data bit
samples at RT8, RT9, and RT10 returns a valid logic 1 and the majority of the next RT8, RT9, and
RT10 samples returns a valid logic 0)
To locate the start bit, data recovery logic does an asynchronous search for a logic 0 preceded by three
logic 1s. When the falling edge of a possible start bit occurs, the RT clock begins to count to 16.
Figure 11-6. Receiver Data Sampling
To verify the start bit and to detect noise, data recovery logic takes samples at RT3, RT5, and RT7.
Table 11-2 summarizes the results of the start bit verification samples.
