Data Reception

The receiver front-end logic samples the signal on the RXD pin at a frequency 16 times the baud rate. While the line is idle,
one single sample of logical zero will be interpreted as the falling edge of a start bit, and the start bit detection sequence is
initiated. Let sample 1 denote the first zero-sample. Following the 1 to 0-transition, the receiver samples the RXD pin at
samples 8, 9 and 10. If two or more of these three samples are found to be logical ones, the start bit is rejected as a noise
spike and the receiver starts looking for the next 1 to 0-transition.
If however, a valid start bit is detected, sampling of the data bits following the start bit is performed. These bits are also
sampled at samples 8, 9 and 10. The logical value found in at least two of the three samples is taken as the bit value. All
bits are shifted into the transmitter shift register as they are sampled. Sampling of an incoming character is shown in Figure
36.
