Preliminary
23.3.6
UART Receive Buffers (URB
n
)
The receive buffers (shown in
) contain one serial shift register and three receiver holding
registers, which act as a FIFO. URXD
n
is connected to the serial shift register. The CPU reads from the
top of the FIFO while the receiver shifts and updates from the bottom when the shift register is full (see
). RB contains the character in the receiver.

Field Descriptions (continued)
Field
Description
Command
Description
00
NO
ACTION
TAKEN
Causes the transmitter to stay in its current mode: if the transmitter is enabled, it
remains enabled; if the transmitter is disabled, it remains disabled.
01
TRANSMITTER
ENABLE
Enables operation of the UART’s transmitter. USR
n
[TXEMP,TXRDY] are set. If the
transmitter is already enabled, this command has no effect.
10
TRANSMITTER
DISABLE
Terminates transmitter operation and clears USR
n
[TXEMP,TXRDY]. If a character
is being sent when the transmitter is disabled, transmission completes before the
transmitter becomes inactive. If the transmitter is already disabled, the command
has no effect.

Command
Description
00
NO
ACTION
TAKEN
Causes the receiver to stay in its current mode. If the receiver is enabled, it
remains enabled; if disabled, it remains disabled.
01
RECEIVER
ENABLE
If the UART module is not in multidrop mode (UMR1
n
[PM]
≠
11),
RECEIVER
ENABLE
enables the UART's receiver and forces it into search-for-start-bit state. If the
receiver is already enabled, this command has no effect.
10
RECEIVER
DISABLE
Disables the receiver immediately. Any character being received is lost. The
command does not affect receiver status bits or other control registers. If the
UART module is programmed for local loopback or multidrop mode, the receiver
operates even though this command is selected. If the receiver is already
disabled, the command has no effect.
