11.2 PROGRAMMING
This section describes how to program the serial port using the appropriate registers. The Serial
Receive Buffer Register (SxRBUF) is shown in Figure 11-8 and the Serial Transmit Buffer Reg-
ister (SxTBUF) is shown in Figure 11-9. These registers have the same functions in any serial
port mode.
