PIC16C745/765
Steps to follow when setting up an Asynchronous
Transmission:
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, then set transmit
bit TX9.
5. Enable the transmission by setting bit TXEN,
which will also set bit TXIF.
1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate
baud rate. If a high speed baud rate is desired,
set bit BRGH. (Section 11.1)
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit TX9D.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit SYNC and setting bit SPEN.
7. Load data to the TXREG register (starts trans-
mission).
3. If interrupts are desired, then set enable bit
TXIE.
