12. Serial Communication Interface (SCI)
12.4 SCI Interrupt Sources and the DMAC
The SCI has four interrupt sources: transmit-end (TEI), receive-error (ERI), receive-data-full
(RXI), and transmit-data-empty (TXI). Table 12.12 lists the interrupt sources and indicates their
priority. These interrupts can be enabled and disabled by the TIE, RIE, and TEIE bits in the serial
control register (SCR). Each interrupt request is sent separately to the interrupt controller.
TXI is requested when the TDRE bit in the SSR is set to 1. TXI can start the direct memory access
controller (DMAC) to transfer data. TDRE is automatically cleared to 0 when the DMAC writes
data in the transmit data register (TDR).
RxI is requested when the RDRF bit in the SSR is set to 1. RXI can start the DMAC to transfer
data. RDRF is automatically cleared to 0 when the DMAC reads the receive data register (RDR).
ERI is requested when the ORER, PER, or FER bit in the SSR is set to 1. ERI cannot start the
DMAC.
TEI is requested when the TEND bit in the SSR is set to 1. TEI cannot start the DMAC. Where the
TXI interrupt indicates that transmit data writing is enabled, the TEI interrupt indicates that the
transmit operation is complete.
