A high at this bit indicates that Overrun error has occurred.īit 2 FERR : Framing Error bit. Receive Status and Control (RCSTA) : USART RECEIVE BLOCK DIAGRAMīit 0 RX9D : This is the 9th bit of Received Data and can be address/data bit or a parity bit and must be calculated by user firmware.īit 1 OERR : Overrun Error bit. It is used to select master or slave mode in Synchronous mode operation. 9th bit in the 9 bit transmission mode is commonly used as parity bit.īit 7 CSRC : Clock Source Select Bit, this bit has no application in the Asynchronous mode operation of USART module. In the synchronous mode operation CREN and SREN bits of RCSTA register overrides this bit.īit 6 TX9 : When this bit is set it enables the 9 bit transmission otherwise 8 bit transmission is used. Setting this bit selects Synchronous mode while clearing this bit selects Asynchronous mode.īit 5 TXEN : Setting this bit enables the transmission. You will can see the baud rate calculation later in this article.Īsynchronous mode: 1 = Send Sync Break on next transmission (cleared by hardware upon completion)īit 4 SYNC : This is the USART Mode select bit.
Setting this bit selects High Speed and clearing this bit selects Low Speed baud rates. The operation of the USART module is controlled through three registers: Transmit Status and Control (TXSTA) : USART TRANSMIT BLOCK DIAGRAMīit 0 TX9D : This is the 9th bit of data in the 9 bit transmission mode and Can be address/data bit or a parity bit.īit 1 TRMT : This is the Transmit Shift Register (TSR) status bit.īit 2 BRGH : This is the High Baud Rate Select bit for Asynchronous mode operation and is unused in Synchronous mode.

Half-Duplex Synchronous mode is intended for communications with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated circuits, serial EEPROMs or other microcontrollers. Full-Duplex mode is useful for communications with peripheral systems, such as CRT terminals and personal computers.
The USART, also known as a Serial Communications Interface (SCI), can be configured as a full-duplex asynchronous system or half-duplex synchronous system. It contains all the clock generators, shift registers and data buffers necessary to perform an input or output serial data transfer independent of device program execution.
The ADDRESSABLE Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART) module is a serial I/O communications peripheral. So Before configuring our PIC controller for USART let us take brief about What is USART? What is USART? In PIC Controller PIC16F877A this communication tool available with following modes:Īnd called as UNIVERSAL SYNCHRONOUS ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER TRANSMITTER (USART).
UART and USART serial type communication protocol is part of pic microcontroller to communicate with external world.
