In serial transmission, the SCI operates as described below.
1. The SCI monitors the TDRE flag in SSR1, and if it is 0, recognizes that data has been written
to TDR1, and transfers the data from TDR1 to TSR1.
2. After transferring data from TDR1 to TSR1, the SCI sets the TDRE flag to 1 and starts
transmission.
If the TIE bit is set to 1 at this time, a transmit-data-empty interrupt (TXI) is generated.
The serial transmit data is sent from the SO2 pin in the following order.
a. Start bit:
One 0-bit is output.
b. Transmit data:
8-bit or 7-bit data is output in LSB-first order.
c. Multiprocessor bit
One multiprocessor bit (MPBT value) is output.
d. Stop bit(s):
One or two 1-bits (stop bits) are output.
e. Mark state:
1 is output continuously until the start bit that starts the next transmission is sent.
3. The SCI checks the TDRE flag at the timing for sending the stop bit.
If the TDRE flag is cleared to 0, data is transferred from TDR1 to TSR1, the stop bit is sent,
and then serial transmission of the next frame is started.
If the TDRE flag is set to 1, the TEND flag in SSR1 is set to 1, the stop bit is sent, and then the
mark state is entered in which 1 is output continuously. If the TEIE bit in SCR1 is set to 1 at
this time, a transmit-end interrupt (TEI) request is generated.
