Parity of serial data is available through the P flag of the accumulator. 7-bit serial modes with
parity, such as those used by the FLAG protocol, can be simulated by setting and reading bit 7 of
8-bit output data. 7-bit serial modes without parity can be simulated by setting bit 7 to a constant 1.
8-bit serial modes with parity can be simulated by setting and reading the 9^th bit, using the control
bits TB80 (S0CON[3]) and TB81 (S1CON[3]) in the S0CON (SFR 0x98) and S1CON (SFR 0x9B) registers
for transmit and RB81 (S1CON[2]) for receive operations.
All supported operation modes use oversampling for the incoming bit stream when receiving data. Each
bit is sampled three times at the projected middle of the bit duration. This technique allows for deviations
of the received baud rate from nominal of up to 3.5%.
The feature of receiving 9 bits (Mode 3 for UART0, Mode A for UART1) can be used as handshake signals
for inter-processor communication in multi-processor systems. In this case, the slave processors have bit
SM20 (S0CON[5]) for UART0, or SM21 (S1CON[5] for UART1, set to 1. When the master processor outputs
the slave’s address, it sets the 9^th bit to 1, causing a serial port receive interrupt in all the slaves. The slave
processors compare the received byte with their address. If there is a match, the addressed slave clears
SM20 or SM21 and receive the rest of the message. The rest of the slaves ignore the message. After
addressing the slave, the host outputs the rest of the message with the 9^th bit set to 0, so no additional
serial port receive interrupts is generated.
UART Control Registers:
The functions of UART0 and UART1 depend on the setting of the Serial Port Control Registers S0CON
and S1CON shown in Table 19 and Table 20, respectively, and the PCON register shown in Table 21.
Since the TI0, RI0, TI1 and RI1 bits are in an SFR bit addressable byte, common practice
would be to clear them with a bit operation, but this must be avoided. The hardware implements
bit operations as a byte wide read-modify-write hardware macro. If an interrupt occurs after
the read, but before the write, its flag is cleared unintentionally.
The proper way to clear these flag bits is to write a byte mask consisting of all ones except
for a zero in the location of the bit to be cleared. The flag bits are configured in hardware to
ignore ones written to them.
