Can Usart mode be used with the I2C mode in the 16F PICs?

Hi

I am interested in using two buses in my design: one I2C and the other Usart. I know that the SPI can't be used in parallel with the I2C- Its obvious as it uses the same pins... but what about Usart? The pics in question are the 16f876a.

Thanks in advance.

You can share the two pins between two protocols (I2C,SPI). You should use a kind of
Analog Multiplex (take care, I2C Receiver sends Acknowledge in DATA line).
**broken link removed**

Analog Multiplex by principle is bidirectional (Switchs).

Not Tri-state.

Like Pass-Gates (PMOS&NMOS in parallel)
