If STTTO is performed, the counter clock is stopped until a first character is received. The idle state on RXD before the
start of the frame does not provide a time-out. This prevents having to obtain a periodic interrupt and enables a wait of
the end of frame when the idle state on RXD is detected.
If RETTO is performed, the counter starts counting down immediately from the value TO. This enables generation of a
periodic interrupt so that a user time-out can be handled, for example when no key is pressed on a keyboard. 
Figure 40-24. Receiver Time-out Block Diagram 
 gives the maximum time-out period for some standard baud rates.
