21.4.1.3 Transmitter Status Bits

The SENTxSTAT register provides status information and control when in Transmit mode. The NIB[2:0] status bits (SENTxSTAT[6:4]) display the current data nibble transmitting during a message frame. If the Pause period is enabled (PPP (SENTxCON1[7]) = 1), the PAUSE bit (SENTxSTAT[7]) indicates when a Pause period transmission is in progress.

The SYNCTXEN bit (SENTxSTAT[0]) is used to initiate a synchronous transmission when TXM is set. SYNCTXEN is automatically cleared by hardware when all data nibbles, the CRC nibble and the Pause period have completed.
