20.8.3 Asynchronous Operational Range
The operational range of the Receiver is dependent on the mismatch between the received bit rate and the 
internally generated baud rate. If the Transmitter is sending frames at too fast or too slow bit rates, or the 
internally generated baud rate of the Receiver does not have a similar (see 
) base 
frequency, the Receiver will not be able to synchronize the frames to the start bit.
The following equations can be used to calculate the ratio of the incoming data rate and internal receiver baud 
rate.
D
Sum of character size and parity size (D = 5 to 10 bit)
S
Samples per bit. S = 16 for Normal Speed mode and S = 8 for Double Speed
mode.
S
F
First sample number used for majority voting. S
F
 = 8 for normal speed and S
F
 = 4
for Double Speed mode.
S
M
Middle sample number used for majority voting. S
M
 = 9 for normal speed and
S
M
= 5 for Double Speed mode.
R
slow 
is the ratio of the slowest incoming data rate that can be accepted in relation to the
receiver baud rate. R
fast
 is the ratio of the fastest incoming data rate that can be
accepted in relation to the receiver baud rate.
 list the maximum receiver baud rate error that can be 
tolerated. Note that Normal Speed mode has higher toleration of baud rate variations.
