characters or data. After a start bit has been detected, the circuit samples the next bits
exactly like for the data (on the 8th, 9th and 10th samples). If 10 (when the LBDL = 0 in
USART_CR2) or 11 (when LBDL=1 in USART_CR2) consecutive bits are detected as ‘0’,
and are followed by a delimiter character, the LBD flag is set in USART_SR. If the LBDIE
bit=1, an interrupt is generated. Before validating the break, the delimiter is checked for as it
signifies that the RX line has returned to a high level.
If a ‘1’ is sampled before the 10 or 11 have occurred, the break detection circuit cancels the
current detection and searches for a start bit again.
If the LIN mode is disabled (LINEN=0), the receiver continues working as normal USART,
without taking into account the break detection.
If the LIN mode is enabled (LINEN=1), as soon as a framing error occurs (i.e. stop bit
detected at ‘0’, which will be the case for any break frame), the receiver stops until the break
detection circuit receives either a ‘1’, if the break word was not complete, or a delimiter
character if a break has been detected.
The behavior of the break detector state machine and the break flag is shown on the
Figure 246: Break detection in LIN mode (11-bit break length - LBDL bit is set) on page 671.
Examples of break frames are given on Figure 247: Break detection in LIN mode vs.
Framing error detection on page 672.
