• Transmitting Serial Data (Asynchronous Mode)
Figure 13.5 shows a sample flowchart for transmitting serial data and indicates the procedure
to follow.
Initialize
Start transmitting
Read TDRE flag in SSR
TDRE = 1?
Yes
Write transmit data
in TDR and clear TDRE
flag to 0 in SSR
All data
transmitted?
Yes
Read TEND flag in SSR
TEND = 1?
Yes
Output break
signal?
Yes
Clear DR bit to 0,
set DDR bit to 1
Clear TE bit to 0 in SCR
End

1. SCI initialization: the transmit data output function
of the TxD pin is selected automatically.
2. SCI status check and transmit data write: read SSR,
check that the TDRE flag is 1, then write transmit data
in TDR and clear the TDRE flag to 0.
3. To continue transmitting serial data: after checking
that the TDRE flag is 1, indicating that data can be
2
written, write data in TDR, then clear the TDRE
flag to 0. When the DMAC is activated by a transmit-
data-empty interrupt request (TXI) to write data in TDR,
No
the TDRE flag is checked and cleared automatically.
4. To output a break signal at the end of serial transmission:
set the DDR bit to 1 and clear the DR bit to 0
(DDR and DR are I/O port registers), then clear the
TE bit to 0 in SCR.
