34.3.1.2.1 BREAK in One-Wire Mode

In Asynchronous mode, the programmer/debugger and UPDI can be totally out of synch, requiring a worst-case length for the BREAK character to be sure that the UPDI can detect it. Assuming the slowest UPDI clock speed of 4 MHz (250 ns), the maximum length of the 8-bit SYNCH pattern value that can be contained in 16 bits is:

65535 × 250 n s = 16.4 m s / b y t e = 16.4 m s / 8 b i t s = 2.05 m s / b i t

This gives a worst-case BREAK frame duration of 2.05 ms*12 bits ≈ 24.6 ms for the slowest prescaler setting. When the prescaler setting is known, the time of the BREAK frame can be relaxed according to the values from the next table:

0x1 (16 MHz) 6.15 ms
0x2 (8 MHz) 12.30 ms
0x3 (4 MHz) - Default 24.60 ms
