PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431
To set up a Synchronous Slave Transmission:
20.5 EUSART Synchronous Slave
Mode
1. Enable the synchronous slave serial port by
setting bits, SYNC and SPEN, and clearing bit,
Synchronous Slave mode is entered by clearing bit,
CSRC (TXSTA<7>). This mode differs from the
Synchronous Master mode in that the shift clock is
supplied externally at the RC6/TX/CK/SS pin (instead
of being supplied internally in Master mode). This
allows the device to transfer or receive data while in
any low-power mode.
CSRC.
2. Clear bits, CREN and SREN.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, TXIE.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit, TX9.
5. Enable the transmission by setting enable bit,
TXEN.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit, TX9D.
20.5.1
EUSART SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE
TRANSMIT
7. Start transmission by loading data to the TXREG
register.
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes are identical, except in the case of Sleep mode.
8. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.
If two words are written to the TXREG and then the
SLEEPinstruction is executed, the following will occur:
a) The first word will immediately transfer to the
TSR register and transmit.
b) The second word will remain in TXREG register.
c) Flag bit, TXIF, will not be set.
d) When the first word has been shifted out of TSR,
the TXREG register will transfer the second word
to the TSR and flag bit, TXIF, will now be set.
e) If enable bit, TXIE, is set, the interrupt will wake
the chip from Sleep. If the global interrupt is
enabled, the program will branch to the interrupt
vector.
