15.2.2. 9-Bit UART

9-bit UART mode uses a total of eleven bits per data byte: a start bit, 8 data bits (LSB first), a programma-

ble ninth data bit, and a stop bit. The state of the ninth transmit data bit is determined by the value in TB80

(SCON0.3), which is assigned by user software. It can be assigned the value of the parity flag (bit P in reg-

ister PSW) for error detection, or used in multiprocessor communications. On receive, the ninth data bit

goes into RB80 (SCON0.2) and the stop bit is ignored.

Data transmission begins when an instruction writes a data byte to the SBUF0 register. The TI0 Transmit

Interrupt Flag (SCON0.1) is set at the end of the transmission (the beginning of the stop-bit time). Data

reception can begin any time after the REN0 Receive Enable bit (SCON0.4) is set to ‘1’. After the stop bit

is received, the data byte will be loaded into the SBUF0 receive register if the following conditions are met:

(1) RI0 must be logic 0, and (2) if MCE0 is logic 1, the 9th bit must be logic 1 (when MCE0 is logic 0, the

state of the ninth data bit is unimportant). If these conditions are met, the eight bits of data are stored in

SBUF0, the ninth bit is stored in RB80, and the RI0 flag is set to ‘1’. If the above conditions are not met,

SBUF0 and RB80 will not be loaded and the RI0 flag will not be set to ‘1’. A UART0 interrupt will occur if

enabled when either TI0 or RI0 is set to ‘1’.
