29.4.1 Synchronous Receive During Sleep

To receive during Sleep, all the following conditions must be met before entering Sleep mode:

• The RCxSTA and TXxSTA Control registers must be configured for synchronous client reception (see Synchronous Client Reception Setup)
• If interrupts are desired, set the RCxIE bit of the PIE3 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the INTCON register
• The RCxIF interrupt flag must be cleared by reading RCxREG to unload any pending characters in the receive buffer

Upon entering Sleep mode, the device will be ready to accept data and clocks on the RXx/DTx and TXx/CKx pins, respectively. When the data word has been completely clocked in by the external device, the RCxIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR3 register will be set, waking the processor from Sleep.

Upon waking from Sleep, the instruction following the SLEEP instruction will be executed. If the Global Interrupt Enable (GIE) bit of the INTCON register is also set, then the Interrupt Service Routine at address 0x0004 will be called.
