37.5.14 USART synchronous mode
Master mode
The synchronous master mode is selected by programming the CLKEN bit in the
USART_CR2 register to ‘1’. In synchronous mode, the following bits must be kept cleared:
• LINEN bit in the USART_CR2 register,
• SCEN, HDSEL and IREN bits in the USART_CR3 register.
In this mode, the USART can be used to control bidirectional synchronous serial
communications in master mode. The SCLK pin is the output of the USART transmitter
clock. No clock pulses are sent to the SCLK pin during start bit and stop bit. Depending on
the state of the LBCL bit in the USART_CR2 register, clock pulses are, or are not, generated
during the last valid data bit (address mark). The CPOL bit in the USART_CR2 register is
used to select the clock polarity, and the CPHA bit in the USART_CR2 register is used to
select the phase of the external clock (see Figure 542, Figure 543 and Figure 544).
During the Idle state, preamble and send break, the external SCLK clock is not activated.
In synchronous master mode, the USART transmitter operates exactly like in asynchronous
mode. However, since SCLK is synchronized with TX (according to CPOL and CPHA), the
data on TX is synchronous.
In synchronous master mode, the USART receiver operates in a different way compared to
asynchronous mode. If RE is set to 1, the data are sampled on SCLK (rising or falling edge,
depending on CPOL and CPHA), without any oversampling. A given setup and a hold time
must be respected (which depends on the baud rate: 1/16 bit time).
