1 = UART loop back testing mode. The pins TXD and RXD are to be
connected together externally (with SLPBK =1) and therefore:

1.7.4.1 Serial Interface 0
The Serial Interface 0 can operate in four modes:
•
Mode 0
Pin RX serves as input and output. TX outputs the shift clock. 8 bits are transmitted with LSB first. The
baud rate is fixed at 1/12 of the crystal frequency. Reception is initialized in Mode 0 by setting the flags in
S0CON as follows: RI0 = 0 and REN0 = 1. In other modes, a start bit when REN0 = 1 starts receiving
serial data.
•
Mode 1
Pin RX serves as input, and TX serves as serial output. No external shift clock is used, 10 bits are
transmitted: a start bit (always 0), 8 data bits (LSB first), and a stop bit (always 1). On receive, a start bit
synchronizes the transmission, 8 data bits are available by reading S0BUF, and stop bit sets the flag
RB80 in the Special Function Register S0CON. In mode 1 either internal baud rate generator or timer 1
can be use to specify baud rate.
•
•
Mode 2
This mode is similar to Mode 1, with two differences. The baud rate is fixed at 1/32 or 1/64 of oscillator
frequency and 11 bits are transmitted or received: a start bit (0), 8 data bits (LSB first), a programmable
9th bit, and a stop bit (1). The 9th bit can be used to control the parity of the serial interface: at
transmission, bit TB80 in S0CON is output as the 9th bit, and at receive, the 9th bit affects RB80 in
Special Function Register S0CON.
Mode 3
The only difference between Mode 2 and Mode 3 is that in Mode 3 either internal baud rate generator
or timer 1 can be use to specify baud rate.
The S0BUF register is used to read/write data to/from the serial 0 interface.
