Hello,

Sorry for what may seem like a very naive question, but are the start
and stop bits in UART transmission both high (1). I have been testing
the USART (in Asynchronous mode) of a PIC16c73a, and have found on my
oscilloscope that start bits are high (Vdd), but stop bits are low
(Gnd). Do people have a choice as to whether stop bits are high or low
(I would imagine not for clock recovery reasons)? The more likely
scenario, of course, is that I am doing something wrong? Anyone have any
insight as to what may happening? Thanks.

Mario
