27.1.2.1 Enabling the Receiver

The EUSART receiver is enabled for asynchronous operation by configuring the following three control bits:

  • CREN = 1 (enables the receiver circuitry of the EUSART)
  • SYNC = 0 (configures the EUSART for asynchronous operation)
  • SPEN = 1 (enables the EUSART)

All other EUSART control bits are assumed to be in their default state.

The user must set the RXxPPS register to select the RXx/DTx I/O pin and set the corresponding TRIS bit to configure the pin as an input.

Important: If the RX/DT function is on an analog pin, the corresponding ANSEL bit must be cleared for the receiver to function.
