Abstract
Formatted serial asynchronous character data is converted to serial synchronous data, where the intracharacter bit rate of the serial asynchronous data and the synchronous bit rate of the serial synchronous data are different. The character data utilizes a start bit - stop bit format which enables the converter to drop or add stop bits occasionally in proportion to the bit rate difference, thus compensating for bit rate mismatch.
