17.3 Register Descriptions 
The SCI3 has the following registers for each channel. 
•  Receive Shift Register (RSR) 
•  Receive Data Register (RDR) 
•  Transmit Shift Register (TSR) 
•  Transmit Data Register (TDR) 
•  Serial Mode Register (SMR) 
•  Serial Control Register 3 (SCR3) 
•  Serial Status Register (SSR) 
•  Bit Rate Register (BRR) 
•  Serial mode control register 3 (SMCR3) 
17.3.1 Receive Shift Register (RSR) 
RSR is a shift register that is used to receive serial data input from the RxD pin and convert it into 
parallel data. When one frame of data has been received, it is transferred to RDR automatically. 
RSR cannot be directly accessed by the CPU. 
17.3.2  Receive Data Register (RDR) 
RDR is an 8-bit register that stores received data.  When the SCI3 has received one frame of serial 
data, it transfers the received serial data from RSR to RDR, where it is stored. After this, RSR is 
receive-enabled. As RSR and RDR function as a double buffer in this way, continuous receive 
operations are possible. After confirming that the RDRF bit in SSR is set to 1, read RDR only 
once. RDR cannot be written to by the CPU. RDR is initialized to H'00.
