USART character description

Word length may be selected as being either 8 or 9 bits by programming the M bit in the

USART_CR1 register (see

The TX pin is in low state during the start bit. It is in high state during the stop bit.

An Idle character is interpreted as an entire frame of "1"s followed by the start bit of the

next frame that contains data (The number of "1" 's will include the number of stop bits).

A Break character is interpreted on receiving "0"s for a frame period. At the end of the

break frame the transmitter inserts either 1 or 2 stop bits (logic "1" bit) to acknowledge the

Transmission and reception are driven by a common baud rate generator, the clock for each

is generated when the enable bit is set respectively for the transmitter and receiver.

The details of each block is given below.
