Parity control

Parity control (generation of parity bit in transmission and parity checking in reception) can
be enabled by setting the PCE bit in the USART_CR1 register. Depending on the frame
length defined by the M bit, the possible USART frame formats are as listed in
M bit
1. Legends: SB: start bit, STB: stop bit, PB: parity bit.
Even parity
The parity bit is calculated to obtain an even number of "1s" inside the frame made of the 7
or 8 LSB bits (depending on whether M is equal to 0 or 1) and the parity bit.
E.g.: data=00110101; 4 bits set => parity bit will be 0 if even parity is selected (PS bit in
USART_CR1 = 0).
Odd parity
The parity bit is calculated to obtain an odd number of "1s" inside the frame made of the 7 or
8 LSB bits (depending on whether M is equal to 0 or 1) and the parity bit.
E.g.: data=00110101; 4 bits set => parity bit will be 1 if odd parity is selected (PS bit in
USART_CR1 = 1).
Parity checking in reception
If the parity check fails, the PE flag is set in the USART_SR register and an interrupt is
generated if PEIE is set in the USART_CR1 register. The PE flag is cleared by a software
Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)
