NOTE 1: The signal transition time ratio is defined as the percentage of the unit interval
or bit time (the inverse of the data rate) that is occupied by the signal transitioning from
-3V to +3V. EIA/TIA-232-E defines a maximum signal transition time ratio of 4%; most
RS-232 receivers will recognize signal transitions with much larger ratios. With a 4%
signal transition time ratio, EIA/TIA-232-E is limited to a theoretical data rate of 200
kbaud. If maximum signal transition time ratio is extended to 10%, 15%, 20%, or even
25%, the maximum data rate achievable using EIA/TIA-232-E can be increased past 200
kbaud.
NOTE 2: A typical value for capacitance per foot of standard cable is 50 pF/ft.
