FRAMING ERROR
A Framing error occurs when the stop bit is sensed as a logic ’0’. A Framing error is reported in the status register (SSTAT). In 
addition, if SMOD0 (PCON.6) is 1, framing errors can be made available in SCON.7. If SMOD0 is 0, SCON.7 is SM0. It is 
recommended that SM0 and SM1 (SCON.7-6) are programmed when SMOD0 is ’0’.
BREAK DETECT
A break is detected  when any 11 consecutive bits are sensed low. A break detect is reported in the status register (SSTAT).  
Since a break condition also satisfies the requirements for a framing error, a break condition will also result in reporting a framing 
error. Once a break condition has been detected, the UART will go into an idle state and remain in this idle state until a stop bit 
has been received. The break detect can be used to reset the device by setting the EBRR bit (AUXR1.6).
 A break detect reset will force the high byte of the program counter to be equal to the Boot Vector contents and the low byte 
cleared to 00h. The first instruction will be fetched from this address.
