S0CON.7  SM0  These two bits set the UART0 mode: 
Mode 
Description 
SM0 
SM1 
0  N/A  0  0 
1  8-bit UART  0  1 
2  9-bit UART  1  0 
3  9-bit UART  1  1 
S0CON.6  SM1 
S0CON.5  SM20  Enables the inter-processor communication feature. 
S0CON.4  REN0  If set, enables serial reception. Cleared by software to disable reception. 
S0CON.3  TB80  The 9
th
 transmitted data bit in Modes 2 and 3. Set or cleared by the 
MPU, depending on the function it performs (parity check, multiprocessor 
communication etc.) 
S0CON.2  RB80  In Modes 2 and 3 it is the 9
th
 data bit received. In Mode 1, if SM20 is 0, 
RB80 is the stop bit. In Mode 0 this bit is not used. Must be cleared by 
software 
S0CON.1  TI0  Transmit interrupt flag, set by hardware after completion of a serial 
transfer. Must be cleared by software. 
S0CON.0  RI0  Receive interrupt flag, set by hardware after completion of a serial 
reception. Must be cleared by software

Note: The speed in Mode 2 depends on the SMOD bit in the SFR PCON. See the PCON register description.
