Universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART/UART) RM0367

29.5.3 USART receiver
The USART can receive data words of either 7, 8 or 9 bits depending on the M bits in the
USART_CR1 register.
Start bit detection
The start bit detection sequence is the same when oversampling by 16 or by 8.
In the USART, the start bit is detected when a specific sequence of samples is recognized.
This sequence is: 1 1 1 0 X 0 X 0X 0X 0 X 0X 0.
Figure 246. Start bit detection when oversampling by 16 or 8
Note: If the sequence is not complete, the start bit detection aborts and the receiver returns to the
idle state (no flag is set), where it waits for a falling edge.
The start bit is confirmed (RXNE flag set, interrupt generated if RXNEIE=1) if the 3 sampled
bits are at 0 (first sampling on the 3rd, 5th and 7th bits finds the 3 bits at 0 and second
sampling on the 8th, 9th and 10th bits also finds the 3 bits at 0).
The start bit is validated (RXNE flag set, interrupt generated if RXNEIE=1) but the NF noise
flag is set if,
a) for both samplings, 2 out of the 3 sampled bits are at 0 (sampling on the 3rd, 5th
and 7th bits and sampling on the 8th, 9th and 10th bits)
or
b) for one of the samplings (sampling on the 3rd, 5th and 7th bits or sampling on the
8th, 9th and 10th bits), 2 out of the 3 bits are found at 0.
