15.7 SCI During Break Module Interrupts
The system integration module (SIM) controls whether status bits in
other modules can be cleared during the break state. The BCFE bit in
the SIM break flag control register (SBFCR) enables software to clear
status bits during the break state.
To allow software to clear status bits during a break interrupt, write a
logic 1 to the BCFE bit. If a status bit is cleared during the break state, it
remains cleared when the MCU exits the break state.
To protect status bits during the break state, write a logic 0 to the BCFE
bit. With BCFE at logic 0 (its default state), software can read and write
I/O registers during the break state without affecting status bits. Some
status bits have a 2-step read/write clearing procedure. If software does
the first step on such a bit before the break, the bit cannot change during
the break state as long as BCFE is at logic 0. After the break, doing the
second step clears the status bit.
15.8 I/O Signals
Port E shares two of its pins with the SCI module. The two SCI I/O pins
are:
• PTE0/TxD — Transmit data
• PTE1/RxD — Receive data
15.8.1 PTE0/TxD (Transmit Data)
The PTE0/TxD pin is the serial data output from the SCI transmitter. The
SCI shares the PTE0/TxD pin with port E. When the SCI is enabled, the
PTE0/TxD pin is an output regardless of the state of the DDRE2 bit in
data direction register E (DDRE).
15.8.2 PTE1/RxD (Receive Data)
The PTE1/RxD pin is the serial data input to the SCI receiver. The SCI
shares the PTE1/RxD pin with port E. When the SCI is enabled, the
PTE1/RxD pin is an input regardless of the state of the DDRE1 bit in data
direction register E (DDRE).
