20.7.7 Flushing the Receive Buffer
The receiver buffer FIFO will be flushed when the Receiver is disabled, i.e., the buffer will be emptied of its 
contents. Unread data will be lost. If the buffer has to be flushed during normal operation, due to for instance an 
error condition, read the UDRn I/O location until the RXCn Flag is cleared. The following code example shows 
how to flush the receive buffer.
Note:
1.
For I/O Registers located in extended I/O map, “IN”, “OUT”, “SBIS”, “SBIC”, “CBI”, and “SBI” instructions must 
be replaced with instructions that allow access to extended I/O. Typically “LDS” and “STS” combined with 
“SBRS”, “SBRC”, “SBR”, and “CBR”.

Asynchronous Data Reception
The USART includes a clock recovery and a data recovery unit for handling asynchronous data reception. The 
clock recovery logic is used for synchronizing the internally generated baud rate clock to the incoming 
asynchronous serial frames at the RxDn pin. The data recovery logic samples and low pass filters each 
incoming bit, thereby improving the noise immunity of the Receiver. The asynchronous reception operational 
range depends on the accuracy of the internal baud rate clock, the rate of the incoming frames, and the frame 
size in number of bits.
20.8.1 Asynchronous Clock Recovery
The clock recovery logic synchronizes internal clock to the incoming serial frames. 
sampling process of the start bit of an incoming frame. The sample rate is 16 times the baud rate for Normal 
mode, and eight times the baud rate for Double Speed mode. The horizontal arrows illustrate the 
synchronization variation due to the sampling process. Note the larger time variation when using the Double 
Speed mode (U2Xn = 1) of operation. Samples denoted zero are samples done when the RxDn line is idle (i.e., 
no communication activity).
