Universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART)
Bit 15 ABRF: Auto baud rate flag
Note: If the USART does not support the auto baud rate feature, this bit is reserved and
Bit 14 ABRE: Auto baud rate error
Note: If the USART does not support the auto baud rate feature, this bit is reserved and
Bit 13 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 12 EOBF: End of block flag
Note: If Smartcard mode is not supported, this bit is reserved and forced by hardware to '0'.
Bit 11 RTOF: Receiver timeout
Note: If a time equal to the value programmed in RTOR register separates 2 characters,
Bit 10 CTS: CTS flag
Note: If the hardware flow control feature is not supported, this bit is reserved and forced by
895/1080
This bit is set by hardware when the automatic baud rate has been set (RXNE will also be
set, generating an interrupt if RXNEIE = 1) or when the auto baud rate operation was
completed without success (ABRE=1) (ABRE, RXNE and FE are also set in this case)
It is cleared by software, in order to request a new auto baud rate detection, by writing 1 to
the ABRRQ in the USART_RQR register.
forced by hardware to '0'.
This bit is set by hardware if the baud rate measurement failed (baud rate out of range or
character comparison failed)
It is cleared by software, by writing 1 to the ABRRQ bit in the USART_CR3 register.
forced by hardware to '0'.
This bit is set by hardware when a complete block has been received (for example T=1
Smartcard mode). The detection is done when the number of received bytes (from the start
of the block, including the prologue) is equal or greater than BLEN + 4.
An interrupt is generated if the EOBIE=1 in the USART_CR2 register.
It is cleared by software, writing 1 to the EOBCF in the USART_ICR register.
0: End of Block not reached
1: End of Block (number of characters) reached
Please refer to Section 29.4: USART implementation on page
This bit is set by hardware when the timeout value, programmed in the RTOR register has
lapsed, without any communication. It is cleared by software, writing 1 to the RTOCF bit in
the USART_ICR register.
An interrupt is generated if RTOIE=1 in the USART_CR1 register.
In Smartcard mode, the timeout corresponds to the CWT or BWT timings.
0: Timeout value not reached
1: Timeout value reached without any data reception
RTOF is not set. If this time exceeds this value + 2 sample times (2/16 or 2/8,
depending on the oversampling method), RTOF flag is set.
The counter counts even if RE = 0 but RTOF is set only when RE = 1. If the timeout has
already elapsed when RE is set, then RTOF will be set.
If the USART does not support the Receiver timeout feature, this bit is reserved and
forced by hardware to '0'.
This bit is set/reset by hardware. It is an inverted copy of the status of the CTS input pin.
0: CTS line set
1: CTS line reset
hardware to '0'.
