UCSRC

When using the I/O specific commands IN and OUT, the I/O addresses 0x00 - 0x3F must be used. When addressing I/O Registers as data space using LD and ST instructions, 0x20 must be added to these offset addresses.

The UCSRC Register shares the same I/O location as the UBRRH Register. See the Accessing UBRRH/UCSRC Registers section which describes how to access this register.

Bit 7 – URSEL: Register Select

This bit selects between accessing the UCSRC or the UBRRH Register. It is read as one when reading UCSRC. The URSEL must be one when writing the UCSRC.

Bit 6 – UMSEL: Mode Select

Mode Select

This bit selects between Asynchronous and Synchronous mode of operation.

Table 1. UMSEL Bit Settings
UMSEL Bit Settings	Mode
0	Asynchronous Operation
1	Synchronous Operation

Bits 5:4 – UPMn: Parity Mode [n = 1:0]

Parity Mode [n = 1:0]

These bits enable and set type of Parity Generation and Check. If enabled, the Transmitter will automatically generate and send the parity of the transmitted data bits within each frame. The Receiver will generate a parity value for the incoming data and compare it to the UPM0 setting. If a mismatch is detected, the PE Flag in UCSRA will be set.

Table 2. UPM Bits Settings
UPM1	UPM0	ParityMode
0	0	Disabled
0	1	Reserved
1	0	Enabled, Even Parity
1	1	Enabled, Odd Parity

Bit 3 – USBS: Stop Bit Select

Stop Bit Select

This bit selects the number of stop bits to be inserted by the Transmitter. The Receiver ignores this setting.

Table 3. USBS Bit Settings
USBS	Stop Bit(s)
0	1-bit
1	2-bit

Bits 2:1 – UCSZn: Character Size [n = 1:0]

Character Size [n = 1:0]

The UCSZ1:0 bits combined with the UCSZ2 bit in UCSRB sets the number of data bits (Character Size) in a frame the Receiver and Transmitter use.

Table 4. UCSZ Bits Settings
UCSZ2	UCSZ1	UCSZ0	Character Size
0	0	0	5-bit
0	0	1	6-bit
0	1	0	7-bit

Bit 0 – UCPOL: Clock Polarity

Clock Polarity

This bit is used for Synchronous mode only. Write this bit to zero when Asynchronous mode is used. The UCPOL bit sets the relationship between data output change and data input sample, and the synchronous clock (XCK).
