24.11.3 UCSRB – USART Control and Status Register B
Name: UCSRB
Offset: 0x0A
Reset: 0x00
Property: When addressing I/O Registers as data space the offset address is 0x2A
When using the I/O specific commands IN and OUT, the I/O addresses 0x00 - 0x3F must be used. When
addressing I/O Registers as data space using LD and ST instructions, 0x20 must be added to these offset
addresses.

Bit 7 – RXCIE RX Complete Interrupt Enable
Writing this bit to one enables interrupt on the RXC Flag. A USART Receive Complete interrupt will be
generated only if the RXCIE bit is written to one, the Global Interrupt Flag in SREG is written to one and
the RXC bit in UCSRA is set.
Bit 6 – TXCIE TX Complete Interrupt Enable
Writing this bit to one enables interrupt on the TXC Flag. A USART Transmit Complete interrupt will be
generated only if the TXCIE bit is written to one, the Global Interrupt Flag in SREG is written to one and
the TXC bit in UCSRA is set.
Bit 5 – UDRIE USART Data Register Empty Interrupt Enable
Writing this bit to one enables interrupt on the UDRE Flag. A Data Register Empty interrupt will be
generated only if the UDRIE bit is written to one, the Global Interrupt Flag in SREG is written to one and
the UDRE bit in UCSRA is set.
Bit 4 – RXEN Receiver Enable
Writing this bit to one enables the USART Receiver. The Receiver will override normal port operation for
the RxD pin when enabled. Disabling the Receiver will flush the receive buffer invalidating the FE, DOR
and PE Flags.
Bit 3 – TXEN Transmitter Enable
Writing this bit to one enables the USART Transmitter. The Transmitter will override normal port operation
for the TxD pin when enabled. The disabling of the Transmitter (writing TXEN to zero) will not become
effective until ongoing and pending transmissions are completed (i.e., when the Transmit Shift Register
and Transmit Buffer Register do not contain data to be transmitted). When disabled, the Transmitter will
no longer override the TxD port.
Bit 2 – UCSZ2 Character Size
The UCSZ2 bits combined with the UCSZ1:0 bit in UCSRC sets the number of data bits (Character Size)
in a frame the Receiver and Transmitter use.
Bit 1 – RXB8 Receive Data Bit 8
RXB8 is the ninth data bit of the received character when operating with serial frames with nine data bits.
Must be read before reading the low bits from UDR.
