Bit Function
SM0
SM1
Serial port 0 operating mode selection bits
SM2 Enable serial port multiprocessor communication in modes 2 and 3
In mode 2 or 3, if SM2 is set to 1 then RI will not be activated if the received 9th
data bit (RB8) is 0. In mode 1, if SM2 = 1 then RI will not be activated if a valid
stop bit was not received. In mode 0, SM2 should be 0.
REN Enable receiver of serial port
Enables serial reception. Set by software to enable serial reception. Cleared by
software to disable serial reception.
TB8 Serial port transmitter bit 9
TB8 is the 9th data bit that will be transmitted in modes 2 and 3. Set or cleared by
software as desired.
RB8 Serial port receiver bit 9
In modes 2 and 3, RB8 is the 9th data bit that was received. In mode 1, if SM2 = 0,
RB8 is the stop bit that was received. In mode 0, RB8 is not used.
TI Serial port transmitter interrupt flag
TI is set by hardware at the end of the 8th bit time in mode 0, or at the beginning
of the stop bit in the other modes, in any serial transmission. TI must be cleared
by software.
RI Serial port receiver interrupt flag
RI is set by hardware at the end of the 8th bit time in mode 0, or halfway through
the stop bit time in the other modes, in any serial reception (exception see SM2).
RI must be cleared by software.
