The Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver
Transmitter (USART) module is one of the two serial
I/O modules. (USART is also known as a Serial Com-
munications Interface or SCI). The USART can be con-
figured as a full duplex asynchronous system that can
communicate with peripheral devices such as CRT ter-
minals and personal computers, or it can be configured
as a half duplex synchronous system that can commu-
nicate with peripheral devices such as A/D or D/A inte-
grated 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 TRISC<7:6>, have to
be set in order to configure pins RC6/TX/CK and RC7/
RX/DT as the Universal Synchronous Asynchronous
Receiver Transmitter.
