Functional Description
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 17-7, the receiver
counts 154 RT cycles at the point when the count of the transmitting
device is 9 bit times × 16 RT cycles + 3 RT cycles = 147 RT cycles.
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%

154
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 17-7, 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
170 – 163
× 100 = 4.12%

Fast Data Tolerance
Figure 17-8 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.
