17.6.1 Multiprocessor Serial Data Transmission 
Figure 17.16 shows a sample flowchart for multiprocessor serial data transmission. For an ID 
transmission cycle, set the MPBT bit in SSR to 1 before transmission. For a data transmission 
cycle, clear the MPBT bit in SSR to 0 before transmission. All other SCI3 operations are the same 
as those in asynchronous mode.

Yes
Start transmission
Read TDRE flag in SSR[1]

Clear PDR to 0 and set PCR to 1
Clear TE bit in SCR3 to 0
TDRE = 1
All data transmitted?
TEND = 1
Break output?
Write transmit data to TDR
[1]  Read SSR and check that the TDRE 
flag is set to 1, set the MPBT bit in 
SSR to 0 or 1, then write transmit 
data to TDR. When data is written to 
TDR, the TDRE flag is automatically 
cleared to 0.
[2]  To continue serial transmission, be 
sure to read 1 from the TDRE flag to 
confirm that writing is possible, then 
write data to TDR. When data is 
written to TDR, the TDRE flag is 
automatically cleared to 0.
[3]  To output a break in serial 
transmission, set the port PCR to 1, 
clear PDR to 0, then clear the TE bit 
in SCR3 to 0.
