10.11 More about UART Mode 1
Reception is initiated by detecting a 1-to-0 transition on RxD. RxD is sampled at a rate 16
times the programmed baud rate. When a transition is detected, the divide-by-16 counter
is immediately reset. Each bit time is thus divided into 16 counter states. At the 7th, 8th,
and 9th counter states, the bit detector samples the value of RxD. The value accepted is
the value that was seen in at least 2 of the 3 samples. This is done for noise rejection. If
the value accepted during the first bit time is not 0, the receive circuits are reset and the
receiver goes back to looking for another 1-to-0 transition. This provides rejection of false
start bits. If the start bit proves valid, it is shifted into the input shift register, and reception
of the rest of the frame will proceed.
The signal to load SBUF and RB8, and to set RI, will be generated if, and only if, the
following conditions are met at the time the final shift pulse is generated: RI = 0 and either
SM2 = 0 or the received stop bit = 1. If either of these two conditions is not met, the
received frame is lost. If both conditions are met, the stop bit goes into RB8, the 8 data
bits go into SBUF, and RI is activated.
