Bit 7—Transmit Data Register Empty (TDRE): Indicates that the SCI has loaded transmit data
from TDR into TSR and the next serial data can be written in TDR.
Bit 7
TDRE
Description
0
TDR contains valid transmit data
[Clearing condition]
Read TDRE when TDRE = 1, then write 0 in TDRE
1
TDR does not contain valid transmit data
[Setting conditions]

Bit 6—Receive Data Register Full (RDRF): Indicates that RDR contains new receive data.
Bit 6
RDRF
Description
0
RDR does not contain new receive data
[Clearing conditions]
•
•
1
RDR contains new receive data
[Setting condition]
Serial data is received normally and transferred from RSR to RDR
Note: The RDR contents and the RDRF flag are not affected by detection of receive errors or by
clearing of the RE bit to 0 in SCR. They retain their previous values. If the RDRF flag is
still set to 1 when reception of the next data ends, an overrun error will occur and the
receive data will be lost.
376
The chip is reset or enters standby mode
The TE bit in SCR is cleared to 0
TDR contents are loaded into TSR, so new data can be written in TDR
The chip is reset or enters standby mode
Read RDRF when RDRF = 1, then write 0 in RDRF
