The maximum percent difference between the receiver count and the transmitter count of a slow 8-bit
character with no errors is
154 – 147
× 100 = 4.54%

For a 9-bit character, data sampling of the stop bit takes the receiver
10 bit times × 16 RT cycles + 10 RT cycles = 170 RT cycles.
With the misaligned character shown in Figure 12-10, the receiver counts 170 RT cycles at the point when
the count of the transmitting device is 10 bit times × 16 RT cycles + 3 RT cycles = 163 RT cycles.
The maximum percent difference between the receiver count and the transmitter count of a slow 9-bit
character with no errors is

× 100 = 4.12%

Fast Data Tolerance
Figure 12-11 shows how much a fast received character can be misaligned without causing a noise error
or a framing error. The fast stop bit ends at RT10 instead of RT16 but is still there for the stop bit data
samples at RT8, RT9, and RT10.

For an 8-bit character, data sampling of the stop bit takes the receiver
9 bit times × 16 RT cycles + 10 RT cycles = 154 RT cycles.
With the misaligned character shown in Figure 12-11, the receiver counts 154 RT cycles at the point when
the count of the transmitting device is 10 bit times × 16 RT cycles = 160 RT cycles.

For a 9-bit character, data sampling of the stop bit takes the receiver
10 bit times × 16 RT cycles + 10 RT cycles = 170 RT cycles.
With the misaligned character shown in Figure 12-11, the receiver counts 170 RT cycles at the point when
the count of the transmitting device is 11 bit times × 16 RT cycles = 176 RT cycles.
