12.2.2 ADEN USART ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 12-8.
The data is received on the RB1/RX/DT pin and drives
the data recovery block. The data recovery block is
actually a high speed shifter operating at x16 times the
baud rate, whereas the main receive serial shifter
operates at the bit rate or at FOSC.
Once Asynchronous mode is selected, reception is
enabled by setting bit CREN (RCSTA<4>).
The heart of the receiver is the Receive (serial) Shift
register (RSR). After sampling the STOP bit, the
received data in the RSR is transferred to the RCREG
register (if it is empty). If the transfer is complete, flag
bit RCIF (PIR1<5>) is set. The actual interrupt can be
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit RCIE
(PIE1<5>). Flag bit RCIF is a read only bit which is
cleared by the hardware. It is cleared when the RCREG
register has been read and is empty. The RCREG is a
double buffered register ( i.e., it is a two-deep FIFO).
It is possible for two bytes of data to be received and
transferred to the RCREG FIFO, and a third byte begin
shifting to the RSR register. On the detection of the
STOP bit of the third byte, if the RCREG register is still
full, then overrun error bit OERR (RCSTA<1>) will be
set. The word in the RSR will be lost. The RCREG
register can be read twice to retrieve the two bytes in
the FIFO. Overrun bit OERR has to be cleared in soft-
ware. This is done by resetting the receive logic (CREN
is cleared and then set). If bit OERR is set, transfers
from the RSR register to the RCREG register are inhib-
ited, so it is essential to clear error bit OERR if it is set.
Framing error bit FERR (RCSTA<2>) is set if a STOP
bit is detected as clear. Bit FERR and the 9th receive
bit are buffered the same way as the receive data.
Reading the RCREG will load bits RX9D and FERR
with new values, therefore it is essential for the user to
read the RCSTA register before reading the RCREG
register in order not to lose the old FERR and RX9D
information.
