FIGURE 12-5: USART TRANSMIT BLOCK DIAGRAM
Follow these steps when setting up an Asynchronous
Transmission:
1. TRISB<1> bit needs to be set and TRISB<2> bit
cleared in order to configure pins RB2/TX/CK
and RB1/RX/DT as the Universal Synchronous
Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter pins.
2. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate
baud rate. If a high-speed baud rate is desired,
set bit BRGH. (Section 12.1)
3. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit SYNC and setting bit SPEN.
4. If interrupts are desired, then set enable bit
TXIE.
5. If 9-bit transmission is desired, then set transmit
bit TX9.
6. Enable the transmission by setting bit TXEN,
which will also set bit TXIF.
7. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit TX9D.
8. Load data to the TXREG register (starts trans-
mission).
