stored in the receive buffer together with the received data and stop bits. The Parity
Error (UPE) flag can then be read by software to check if the frame had a Parity Error.
The UPE bit is set if the next character that can be read from the receive buffer had a
Parity Error when received and the parity checking was enabled at that point
(UPM1 = 1). This bit is valid until the receive buffer (UDR) is read.
In contrast to the Transmitter, disabling of the Receiver will be immediate. Data from
ongoing receptions will therefore be lost. When disabled (i.e. the RXEN is set to zero)
the receiver will no longer override the normal function of the RxD port pin. The receiver
buffer FIFO will be flushed when the Receiver is disabled. Remaining data in the buffer
will be lost
The receiver buffer FIFO will be flushed when the Receiver is disabled, i.e., the buffer
will be emptied of its contents. Unread data will be lost. If the buffer has to be flushed
during normal operation, due to for instance an error condition, read the UDR I/O loca-
tion until the RXC flag is cleared. The following code examples show how to flush the
receive buffer.
Note:
The USART includes a clock recovery and a data recovery unit for handling asynchro-
nous data reception. The clock recovery logic is used for synchronizing the internally
generated baud rate clock to the incoming asynchronous serial frames at the RxD pin.
The data recovery logic samples and low pass filters each incoming bit, thereby improv-
ing the noise immunity of the Receiver. The asynchronous reception operational range
depends on the accuracy of the internal baud rate clock, the rate of the incoming
frames, and the frame size in number of bits.
The Clock Recovery logic synchronizes internal clock to the incoming serial frames. Fig-
ure 83 illustrates the sampling process of the start bit of an incoming frame. The sample
rate is 16 times the baud rate for Normal mode, and eight times the baud rate for Double
Speed mode. The horizontal arrows illustrate the synchronization variation due to the
sampling process. Note the larger time variation when using the Double Speed mode

For I/O Registers located in extended I/O map, “IN”, “OUT”, “SBIS”, “SBIC”, “CBI”,
and “SBI” instructions must be replaced with instructions that allow access to
extended I/O. Typically “LDS” and “STS” combined with “SBRS”, “SBRC”, “SBR”, and
“CBR”.
