17.5.2 SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE MODE
The following bits are used to configure the EUSART
for Synchronous slave operation:
• SYNC = 1
• CSRC = 0
• SREN = 0 (for transmit); SREN = 1 (for receive)
• CREN = 0 (for transmit); CREN = 1 (for receive)
• SPEN = 1
Setting the SYNC bit of the TXSTAx register configures
the device for synchronous operation. Clearing the
CSRC bit of the TXSTAx register configures the device as
a slave. Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the
RCSTAx register ensures that the device is in the
Transmit mode, otherwise the device will be configured to
receive. Setting the SPEN bit of the RCSTAx register
enables the EUSART. If the RX/DT or TX/CK pins are
shared with an analog peripheral the analog I/O functions
must be disabled by clearing the corresponding ANSEL
bits.
RX/DT and TX/CK pin output drivers must be disabled
by setting the corresponding TRIS bits.
17.5.2.1 EUSART Synchronous Slave
Transmit
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes are identical (see Section 17.5.1.3
“Synchronous Master Transmission”), except in the
case of the Sleep mode.
If two words are written to the TXREGx and then the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:
1. The first character will immediately transfer to
the TSR register and transmit.
2. The second word will remain in TXREGx
register.
3. The TXIF bit will not be set.
4. After the first character has been shifted out of
TSR, the TXREGx register will transfer the
second character to the TSR and the TXIF bit will
now be set.
5. If the PEIE/GIEL and TXIE bits are set, the
interrupt will wake the device from Sleep and
execute the next instruction. If the GIE/GIEH bit
is also set, the program will call the Interrupt
Service Routine.
17.5.2.2 Synchronous Slave Transmission
Setup:
1. Set the SYNC and SPEN bits and clear the
CSRC bit.
2. Set the RX/DT and TX/CK TRIS controls to ‘1’.
3. Clear the CREN and SREN bits.
4. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE/GIEH
and PEIE/GIEL bits of the INTCON register are
set and set the TXIE bit.
5. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9 bit.
6. Enable transmission by setting the TXEN bit.
7. If 9-bit transmission is selected, insert the Most
Significant bit into the TX9D bit.
8. Start transmission by writing the Least
Significant eight bits to the TXREGx register.
