Figure 13-7. Receiver Data Sampling
To locate the start bit, data recovery logic does an asynchronous search for a 0
preceded by three 1s. When the falling edge of a possible start bit occurs, the RT
clock begins to count to 16.
To verify the start bit and to detect noise, data recovery logic takes samples at RT3,
RT5, and RT7. Table 13-1 summarizes the results of the start bit verification
samples.

If start bit verification is not successful, the RT clock is reset and a new search for
a start bit begins.
