USART with external clock
PostPosted: Wed Feb 01, 2012 7:27 am     Reply with quote

Hello forum. I'm trying to run the USART with a external clock source. Device is 16f88. Any inputs?

the only way to have an "external" clock for the uart is to use an external crystal or oscillator for the PIC itself.

quoting the DATASHEET

Quote:

• Addressable Universal Synchronous
Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter
(AUSART/SCI) with 9-bit address detection:
- RS-232 operation using internal oscillator
(no external crystal required)

He could run as a synchronous receiver or transmitter, which might be what he is talking about.
Only half duplex possible though

I think you would have to set the USART up manually for this (you did when I last looked). Problem is that though sync support is present, it only works on chips that offer full duplex sync, with a separate clock line. Set it up as normal for UART1, async operation, then just turn off bit 7 of TXSTA, and change the TRIS on the TX pin to '1'. Then getc, works as normal.

Best Wishes
