USART
The device contains a full-duplex software programmable
USART. The USART Figure 44 consists of a transmit shift
register, a receiver shift register and seven addressable reg-
isters, as follows: a transmit buffer register (TBUF), a re-
ceiver buffer register (RBUF), a USART control and status
register (ENU), a USART receive control and status register
(ENUR), a USART interrupt and clock source register
(ENUI), a prescaler select register (PSR) and baud (BAUD)
register. The ENU register contains flags for transmit and re-
ceive functions; this register also determines the length of
the data frame (7, 8 or 9 bits), the value of the ninth bit in
transmission, and parity selection bits. The ENUR register
flags framing, data overrun and parity errors while the US-
ART is receiving.

Other functions of the ENUR register include saving the
ninth bit received in the data frame, enabling or disabling the
USART’s attention mode of operation and providing addi-
tional receiver/transmitter status information via RCVG and
XMTG bits. The determination of an internal or external clock
source is done by the ENUI register, as well as selecting the
number of stop bits and enabling or disabling transmit and
receive interrupts. A control flag in this register can also se-
lect the USART mode of operation: asynchronous or
synchronous.
