In transmitting serial data, the SCI operates as follows.
• The SCI monitors the TDRE flag in SSR. When the TDRE flag is cleared to 0 the SCI
recognizes that TDR contains new data, and loads this data from TDR into TSR.
• After loading the data from TDR into TSR, the SCI sets the TDRE flag to 1 and starts
transmitting. If the TIE bit in SCR is set to 1, the SCI requests a transmit-data-empty interrupt
(TXI) at this time.
Serial transmit data is transmitted in the following order from the TxD pin:
 Start bit:
 Transmit data:
 Multiprocessor bit: One multiprocessor bit (MPBT value) is output.
 Stop bit:
 Mark state:
• The SCI checks the TDRE flag when it outputs the stop bit. If the TDRE flag is 0, the SCI
loads data from TDR into TSR, outputs the stop bit, then begins serial transmission of the next
frame. If the TDRE flag is 1, the SCI sets the TEND flag in SSR to 1, outputs the stop bit, then
continues output of 1 bits in the mark state. If the TEIE bit is set to 1 in SCR, a transmit-end
interrupt (TEI) is requested at this time.
Figure 11-11 shows an example of SCI transmit operation using a multiprocessor format.

One 0 bit is output.
7 or 8 bits are output, LSB first.
One or two 1 bits (stop bits) are output.
Output of 1 bits continues until the start bit of the next transmit data.
