Freescale Semiconductor Infrared Serial Communications Interface Module (IRSCI) 255
(logic 1). Clearing and then setting TE during a transmission queues 
an idle character to be sent after the character currently being 
transmitted. Reset clears the TE bit.
1 = Transmitter enabled
0 = Transmitter disabled
NOTE: Writing to the TE bit is not allowed when the enable SCI bit (ENSCI) is 
clear. ENSCI is in SCI control register 1.
RE — Receiver Enable Bit
Setting this read/write bit enables the receiver. Clearing the RE bit 
disables the receiver but does not affect receiver interrupt flag bits. 
Reset clears the RE bit.
1 = Receiver enabled
0 = Receiver disabled
NOTE: Writing to the RE bit is not allowed when the enable SCI bit (ENSCI) is 
clear. ENSCI is in SCI control register 1.
RWU — Receiver Wakeup Bit
This read/write bit puts the receiver in a standby state during which 
receiver interrupts are disabled. The WAKE bit in SCC1 determines 
whether an idle input or an address mark brings the receiver out of the 
standby state and clears the RWU bit. Reset clears the RWU bit.
1 = Standby state
0 = Normal operation
SBK — Send Break Bit
Setting and then clearing this read/write bit transmits a break 
character followed by a logic 1. The logic 1 after the break character 
guarantees recognition of a valid start bit. If SBK remains set, the 
transmitter continuously transmits break characters with no logic 1s 
between them. Reset clears the SBK bit.
1 = Transmit break characters
0 = No break characters being transmitted
NOTE: Do not toggle the SBK bit immediately after setting the SCTE bit. 
Toggling SBK before the preamble begins causes the SCI to send a 
break character instead of a preamble.
