12.0 UNIVERSAL SYNCHRONOUS
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER (USART)
MODULE
The Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver
Transmitter (USART) is also known as a Serial
Communications Interface (SCI). The USART can be
configured as a full-duplex asynchronous system that
can communicate with peripheral devices such as CRT
terminals and personal computers, or it can be
configured as a half-duplex synchronous system that
can communicate with peripheral devices such as A/D
or D/A integrated circuits, Serial EEPROMs, etc.
The USART can be configured in the following modes:
• Asynchronous (full-duplex)
• Synchronous – Master (half-duplex)
• Synchronous – Slave (half-duplex)
Bit SPEN (RCSTA<7>) and bits TRISB<2:1> have to be
set in order to configure pins RB2/TX/CK and RB1/RX/DT
as the Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver
Transmitter.
Register 12-1 shows the Transmit Status and Control
Register (TXSTA) and Register 12-2 shows the
Receive Status and Control Register (RCSTA).
REGISTER 12-1:
TXSTA – TRANSMIT STATUS AND CONTROL REGISTER (ADDRESS: 98h)

CSRC: Clock Source Select bit
Asynchronous mode
Don’t care
Synchronous mode
1 = Master mode (Clock generated internally from BRG)
0 = Slave mode (Clock from external source)
bit 6
TX9: 9-bit Transmit Enable bit
1 = Selects 9-bit transmission
0 = Selects 8-bit transmission
bit 5
TXEN: Transmit Enable bit⁽¹⁾
1 = Transmit enabled
0 = Transmit disabled
bit 4
SYNC: USART Mode Select bit
1 = Synchronous mode
0 = Asynchronous mode
bit 3
Unimplemented: Read as ‘0’
bit 2
BRGH: High Baud Rate Select bit
Asynchronous mode
1 = High speed
0 = Low speed
Synchronous mode
Unused in this mode
bit 1
TRMT: Transmit Shift Register Status bit
1 = TSR empty
0 = TSR full
bit 0
TX9D: 9th bit of transmit data. Can be parity bit.
Note 1: SREN/CREN overrides TXEN in SYNC mode.
Legend:
R = Readable bit
-n = Value at POR
W = Writable bit
‘1’ = Bit is set
U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’
‘0’ = Bit is cleared x = Bit is unknown
