41.5.2.6 Receiver Framing Error
When a start bit is detected, it generates a character reception when all the data bits have been sampled. The stop bit is
also sampled and when it is detected at 0, the FRAME (Framing Error) bit in UART_SR is set at the same time the
RXRDY bit is set. The FRAME bit remains high until the control register UART_CR is written with the bit RSTSTA at 1.

41.5.3.1 Transmitter Reset, Enable and Disable
After device reset, the UART transmitter is disabled and it must be enabled before being used. The transmitter is enabled
by writing the control register UART_CR with the bit TXEN at 1. From this command, the transmitter waits for a character
to be written in the Transmit Holding Register (UART_THR) before actually starting the transmission.
by writing the control register UART_CR with the bit TXEN at 1. From this command, the transmitter waits for a character
to be written in the Transmit Holding Register (UART_THR) before actually starting the transmission.
The programmer can disable the transmitter by writing UART_CR with the bit TXDIS at 1. If the transmitter is not
operating, it is immediately stopped. However, if a character is being processed into the Shift Register and/or a character
has been written in the Transmit Holding Register, the characters are completed before the transmitter is actually
stopped.

The programmer can also put the transmitter in its reset state by writing the UART_CR with the bit RSTTX at 1. This
immediately stops the transmitter, whether or not it is processing characters.
immediately stops the transmitter, whether or not it is processing characters.
41.5.3.2 Transmit Format
The UART transmitter drives the pin UTXD at the baud rate clock speed. The line is driven depending on the format
defined in the Mode Register and the data stored in the Shift Register. One start bit at level 0, then the 8 data bits, from
the lowest to the highest bit, one optional parity bit and one stop bit at 1 are consecutively shifted out as shown in the
following figure. The field PARE in the mode register UART_MR defines whether or not a parity bit is shifted out. When a
parity bit is enabled, it can be selected between an odd parity, an even parity, or a fixed space or mark bit.
