Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)
Bit 8 PEIE: PE interrupt enable
This bit is set and cleared by software.
0: Interrupt is inhibited
1: A USART interrupt is generated whenever PE=1 in the USART_ISR register
Bit 7 TXEIE: interrupt enable
This bit is set and cleared by software.
0: Interrupt is inhibited
1: A USART interrupt is generated whenever TXE=1 in the USART_ISR register
Bit 6 TCIE: Transmission complete interrupt enable
This bit is set and cleared by software.
0: Interrupt is inhibited
1: A USART interrupt is generated whenever TC=1 in the USART_ISR register
Bit 5 RXNEIE: RXNE interrupt enable
This bit is set and cleared by software.
0: Interrupt is inhibited
1: A USART interrupt is generated whenever ORE=1 or RXNE=1 in the USART_ISR
register
Bit 4 IDLEIE: IDLE interrupt enable
This bit is set and cleared by software.
0: Interrupt is inhibited
1: A USART interrupt is generated whenever IDLE=1 in the USART_ISR register
Bit 3 TE: Transmitter enable
This bit enables the transmitter. It is set and cleared by software.
0: Transmitter is disabled
1: Transmitter is enabled
Note: During transmission, a "0" pulse on the TE bit ("0" followed by "1") sends a preamble
881/1080
(idle line) after the current word, except in Smartcard mode. In order to generate an idle
character, the TE must not be immediately written to 1. In order to ensure the required
duration, the software can poll the TEACK bit in the USART_ISR register.
In Smartcard mode, when TE is set there is a 1 bit-time delay before the transmission
starts.
