FE
Framing Error bit (SMOD0=1
)
Clear to reset the error state, not cleared by a valid stop bit.
Set by hardware when an invalid stop bit is detected.
SMOD0 must be set to enable access to the FE bit.
SM0
Serial port Mode bit 0
Refer to SM1 for serial port mode selection.
SMOD0 must be cleared to enable access to the SM0 bit.

5SM2
Serial port Mode 2 bit / Multiprocessor Communication Enable bit
Clear to disable multiprocessor communication feature.
Set to enable multiprocessor communication feature in mode 2 and 3, and
eventually mode 1.This bit should be cleared in mode 0.
4REN
Reception Enable bit
Clear to disable serial reception.
Set to enable serial reception.
3TB8
Transmitter Bit 8 / Ninth bit to transmit in modes 2 and 3
Clear to transmit a logic 0 in the 9th bit.
Set to transmit a logic 1 in the 9th bit.
2RB8
Receiver Bit 8 / Ninth bit received in modes 2 and 3
Cleared by hardware if 9th bit received is a logic 0.
Set by hardware if 9th bit received is a logic 1.
In mode 1, if SM2 = 0, RB8 is the received stop bit. In mode 0 RB8 is not
used.
1TI
Transmit Interrupt flag
Clear to acknowledge interrupt.
Set by hardware at the end of the 8th bit time in mode 0 or at the beginning
of the stop bit in the other modes.
0RI
Receive Interrupt flag
Clear to acknowledge interrupt.
Set by hardware at the end of the 8th bit time in mode 0, see
Figure 21.
