30.3.10 Single-wire half-duplex communication
The single-wire half-duplex mode is selected by setting the HDSEL bit in the USART_CR3
register. In this mode, the following bits must be kept cleared:
• LINEN and CLKEN bits in the USART_CR2 register,
• SCEN and IREN bits in the USART_CR3 register.
The USART can be configured to follow a single-wire half-duplex protocol where the TX and
RX lines are internally connected. The selection between half- and full-duplex
communication is made with a control bit ‘HALF DUPLEX SEL’ (HDSEL in USART_CR3).
As soon as HDSEL is written to 1:
• the TX and RX lines are internally connected
• the RX pin is no longer used
• the TX pin is always released when no data is transmitted. Thus, it acts as a standard
I/O in idle or in reception. It means that the I/O must be configured so that TX is
configured as floating input (or output high open-drain) when not driven by the USART.
