REGISTERS ASSOCIATED WITH ASYNCHRONOUS RECEPTION

AUTO-WAKE-UP ON SYNC
BREAK CHARACTER
During Sleep mode, all clocks to the EUSART are
suspended. Because of this, the Baud Rate Generator
is inactive and a proper byte reception cannot be per-
formed. The auto-wake-up feature allows the controller
to wake-up due to activity on the RX/DT line while the
EUSART is operating in Asynchronous mode.
The auto-wake-up feature is enabled by setting the
WUE bit (BAUDCON<1>). Once set, the typical receive
sequence on RX/DT is disabled and the EUSART
remains in an Idle state, monitoring for a wake-up event
independent of the CPU mode. A wake-up event
consists of a high-to-low transition on the RX/DT line.
(This coincides with the start of a Sync Break or a
Wake-up Signal character for the LIN protocol.)
Following a wake-up event, the module generates an
RCIF interrupt. The interrupt is generated synchro-
nously to the Q clocks in normal operating modes
cleared by reading the RCREG register.
The WUE bit is automatically cleared once a low-to-
high transition is observed on the RX line following the
wake-up event. At this point, the EUSART module is in
Idle mode and returns to normal operation. This signals
to the user that the Sync Break event is over.

Note:
This timing diagram shows three words appearing on the RX input. The RCREG (receive buffer) is read after the third word causing
the OERR (overrun) bit to be set.
