15.3.7 Serial Status Register (SSR)
SSR is a register containing status flags of the SCI and multiprocessor bits for transfer. 1 cannot
be written to flags TDRE, RDRF, ORER, PER, and FER; they can only be cleared. Some bit
functions of SSR differ between normal serial communication interface mode and Smart Card
interface mode.
• Normal Serial Communication Interface Mode (When SMIF in SCMR is 0)

Description
7 TDRE 1 R/(W)
*
1
Transmit Data Register Empty
Displays whether TDR contains transmit data.
[Setting conditions]
• When the TE bit in SCR is 0
• When data is transferred from TDR to TSR and
data can be written to TDR
[Clearing conditions]
• When 0 is written to TDRE after reading TDRE
= 1
• When the DMAC
*
2
or the DTC
*
3
is activated by
a TXI interrupt request and writes data to TDR
6 RDRF 0 R/(W)
*
1
Receive Data Register Full
Indicates that the received data is stored in RDR.
[Setting condition]
When serial reception ends normally and receive
data is transferred from RSR to RDR
[Clearing conditions]
• When 0 is written to RDRF after reading RDRF
= 1
• When the DMAC
*
2
or the DTC
*
3
is activated by
an RXI interrupt and transferred data from RDR
The RDRF flag is not affected and retains their
previous values when the RE bit in SCR is cleared
to 0.
If reception of the next data is completed while the
RDRF flag is still set to 1, an overrun error will
occur and the receive data will be lost.
