Section 13 Serial Communication Interface (SCI)
13.5 Notes on Use
Sections 13.5.1 through 13.5.9 provide information for using the SCI.
13.5.1 TDR Write and TDRE Flags
The TDRE bit in the serial status register (SSR) is a status flag indicating loading of transmit data
from TDR into TSR. The SCI sets TDRE to 1 when it transfers data from TDR to TSR. Data can
be written to TDR regardless of the TDRE bit status. If new data is written in TDR when TDRE is
0, however, the old data stored in TDR will be lost because the data has not yet been transferred to
the TSR. Before writing transmit data to the TDR, be sure to check that TDRE is set to 1.
13.5.2 Simultaneous Multiple Receive Errors
Table 13.13 indicates the state of the SSR status flags when multiple receive errors occur
simultaneously. When an overrun error occurs, the RSR contents cannot be transferred to the
RDR, so receive data is lost.
