The Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver
Transmitter (USART) module is one of the two serial
I/O modules. (USART is also known as a Serial
Communications Interface or 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. It can also 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 Enhanced USART module implements additional
features, including automatic baud rate detection and
calibration, automatic wake-up on sync break reception
and 12-bit break character transmit. These make it
ideally suited for use in Local Interconnect Network bus
(LIN bus) systems.
The USART can be configured in the following modes:
• Asynchronous (full-duplex) with:
• Synchronous – Master (half-duplex) with
• Synchronous – Slave (half-duplex) with selectable

In order to configure pins RC6/TX/CK and RC7/RX/DT
as the Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver
Transmitter:
• SPEN (RCSTA<7>) bit must be set (= 1),
• TRISC<6> bit must be set (= 1), and
• TRISC<7> bit must be set (= 1)
The operation of the Enhanced USART module is
controlled through three registers:
• Transmit Status and Control (TXSTA)
• Receive Status and Control (RCSTA)
• Baud Rate Control (BAUDCON)
These are detailed on the following pages in
Register 18-1,
respectively.
Note:
The USART control will automatically
reconfigure the pin from input to output as
needed.
