EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS

RECEIVER

The Asynchronous mode is typically used in RS-232

systems. The receiver block diagram is shown in

Figure 23-2. The data is received on the RX/DT pin and

drives the data recovery block. The data recovery block

is actually a high-speed shifter operating at 16 times

the baud rate, whereas the serial Receive Shift

or nine bits of the character have been shifted in, they

are immediately transferred to a two character

First-In-First-Out (FIFO) memory. The FIFO buffering

allows reception of two complete characters and the

start of a third character before software must start

servicing the EUSART receiver. The FIFO and RSR

registers are not directly accessible by software.

Access to the received data is via the RCREG register.

23.1.2.1

Enabling the Receiver

The EUSART receiver is enabled for asynchronous

operation by configuring the following three control bits:

• CREN = 1

• SYNC = 0

• SPEN = 1

All other EUSART control bits are assumed to be in

their default state.

Setting the CREN bit of the RCSTA register enables the

receiver circuitry of the EUSART. Clearing the SYNC bit

of the TXSTA register configures the EUSART for

asynchronous operation. Setting the SPEN bit of the

RCSTA register enables the EUSART. The programmer

must set the corresponding TRIS bit to configure the

RX/DT I/O pin as an input.

23.1.2.2

Receiving Data

The receiver data recovery circuit initiates character

reception on the falling edge of the first bit. The first bit,

also known as the Start bit, is always a zero. The data

recovery circuit counts one-half bit time to the center of

the Start bit and verifies that the bit is still a zero. If it is

not a zero then the data recovery circuit aborts

character reception, without generating an error, and

resumes looking for the falling edge of the Start bit. If

the Start bit zero verification succeeds then the data

recovery circuit counts a full bit time to the center of the

next bit. The bit is then sampled by a majority detect

circuit and the resulting ‘0’ or ‘1’ is shifted into the RSR.

This repeats until all data bits have been sampled and

shifted into the RSR. One final bit time is measured and

the level sampled. This is the Stop bit, which is always

a ‘1’. If the data recovery circuit samples a ‘0’ in the

Stop bit position, then a framing error is set for this

character, otherwise, the framing error is cleared for

this

character.

See

Section 23.1.2.4

“Receive

Framing Error”

for more information on framing

errors.

Immediately after all data bits and the Stop bit have

been received, the character in the RSR is transferred

to the EUSART receive FIFO and the RCIF interrupt

flag bit of the PIR1 register is set. The top character in

the FIFO is transferred out of the FIFO by reading the

RCREG register.

23.1.2.3

Receive Interrupts

The RCIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is set

whenever the EUSART receiver is enabled and there is

an unread character in the receive FIFO. The RCIF

interrupt flag bit is read-only, it cannot be set or cleared

by software.

RCIF interrupts are enabled by setting all of the

following bits:

• RCIE interrupt enable bit of the PIE1 register

• PEIE peripheral interrupt enable bit of the

INTCON register

• GIE Global Interrupt Enable bit of the INTCON

The RCIF interrupt flag bit will be set when there is an

unread character in the FIFO, regardless of the state of

interrupt enable bits.

Note:

If the RX/DT function is on an analog pin,

the corresponding ANSEL bit must be

cleared for the receiver to function.

Note:

If the receive FIFO is overrun, no additional

characters will be received until the overrun

condition is cleared. See Section 23.1.2.5

“Receive Overrun Error”

for more

information on overrun errors.
