18.3.2 USART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER
RECEPTION
Once Synchronous Master mode is selected, reception
is enabled by setting either enable bit SREN (RCSTA
register) or enable bit CREN (RCSTA register). Data is
sampled on the RC7/RX/DT pin on the falling edge of
the clock. If enable bit SREN is set, only a single word
is received. If enable bit CREN is set, the reception is
continuous until CREN is cleared. If both bits are set,
then CREN takes precedence.
Steps to follow when setting up a Synchronous Master
Reception:
1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate
baud rate (Section 18.1 “USART Baud Rate
Generator (BRG)”).
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
3. Ensure bits CREN and SREN are clear.
4. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit RCIE.
5. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
6. If a single reception is required, set bit SREN.
For continuous reception, set bit CREN.
7. Interrupt flag bit RCIF will be set when reception
is complete and an interrupt will be generated if
the enable bit RCIE was set.
8. Read the RCSTA register to get the ninth bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
9. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
10. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
bit CREN.

Legend: x = unknown, - = unimplemented, read as ‘0’. Shaded cells are not used for synchronous master reception.
Note 1: These registers or register bits are not implemented on the PIC18F248 and PIC18F258 and read as ‘0’s.
