Figure 14-10 shows the effect of noise early in the start bit time. Although this noise does not affect proper
synchronization with the start bit time, it does set the noise flag.
Figure 14-10. Start Bit Search Example 4
Figure 14-11 shows a burst of noise near the beginning of the start bit that resets the RT clock. The
sample after the reset is low but is not preceded by three high samples that would qualify as a falling edge.
Depending on the timing of the start bit search and on the data, the frame may be missed entirely or it
may set the framing error flag.
Figure 14-11. Start Bit Search Example 5
In Figure 14-12 a noise burst makes the majority of data samples RT8, RT9, and RT10 high. This sets
the noise flag but does not reset the RT clock. In start bits only, the RT8, RT9, and RT10 data samples
are ignored.
