ATmega640/1280/1281/2560/2561
examples show a transmit function that handles 9-bit characters. For the assembly
code, the data to be sent is assumed to be stored in registers R17:R16.
Assembly Code Example(1)(2)
USART_Transmit:
; Wait for empty transmit buffer
sbis UCSRnA,UDREn
rjmp USART_Transmit
; Copy 9th bit from r17 to TXB8
cbi
UCSRnB,TXB8
sbrc r17,0
sbi
UCSRnB,TXB8
; Put LSB data (r16) into buffer, sends the data
out
ret
UDRn,r16
C Code Example(1)(2)
void USART_Transmit( unsigned int data )
{
/* Wait for empty transmit buffer */
while ( !( UCSRnA & (1<<UDREn))) )
;
/* Copy 9th bit to TXB8 */
UCSRnB &= ~(1<<TXB8);
if ( data & 0x0100 )
UCSRnB |= (1<<TXB8);
/* Put data into buffer, sends the data */
UDRn = data;
}
Notes: 1. These transmit functions are written to be general functions. They can be optimized if
the contents of the UCSRnB is static. For example, only the TXB8 bit of the UCSRnB
Register is used after initialization.
2. See “About Code Examples” on page 8.
The ninth bit can be used for indicating an address frame when using multi processor
communication mode or for other protocol handling as for example synchronization.
