12.5.2 Data Transmission

A data sending procedure and the UART3 Ch.n operations are shown below. Figures 12.5.2.1 and 12.5.2.2 show a
timing chart and a flowchart, respectively.
Data sending procedure
1. Check to see if the UAnINTF.TBEIF bit is set to 1 (transmit buffer empty).
2. Write transmit data to the UAnTXD register.
3. Wait for a UART3 interrupt when using the interrupt.
4. Repeat Steps 1 to 3 (or 1 and 2) until the end of transmit data.
UART3 data sending operations
The UART3 Ch.n starts data sending operations when transmit data is written to the UAnTXD register.
The transmit data in the UAnTXD register is automatically transferred to the shift register and the UAnINTF.
TBEIF bit is set to 1 (transmit buffer empty).
The USOUTn pin outputs a start bit and the UAnINTF.TBSY bit is set to 1 (transmit busy). The shift register
data bits are then output successively from the LSB. Following output of MSB, the parity bit (if parity is en-
abled) and the stop bit are output.
Even if transmit data is being output from the USOUTn pin, the next transmit data can be written to the
UAnTXD register after making sure the UAnINTF.TBEIF bit is set to 1.
If no transmit data remains in the UAnTXD register after the stop bit has been output from the USOUTn pin,
the UAnINTF.TBSY bit is cleared to 0 and the UAnINTF.TENDIF bit is set to 1 (transmission completed).
