Chapter 12: LPC11U3x/2x/1x USART
12.5.10 USART Modem Status Register
The MSR is a read-only register that provides status information on USART input signals.
Bit 0 is cleared when (after) this register is read.
12.5.11 USART Scratch Pad Register
The SCR has no effect on the USART operation. This register can be written and/or read
at user’s discretion. There is no provision in the interrupt interface that would indicate to
the host that a read or write of the SCR has occurred.
