• Noise Filter Circuit
The RXD input signal is latched through the noise filter circuit. The noise filter circuit
comprises a series of three latch circuits and a match detection circuit. The RXD input signal is
sampled by the basic clock with the 16 times the transfer clock frequency. If three latch
outputs match, its level is transferred to the next stage. If not, the circuit holds the previous
value.
That is, when the incoming signal holds the same level for three clock cycles, it is regarded as
the proper signal. If the levels of the signal is less than three clock cycles, the signal is
regarded as a noise.
