13.6.4 Serial Data Reception (Clock Synchronous Mode)
Figure 13.18 shows an example of SCI operation for reception in clock synchronous mode. In
serial reception, the SCI operates as described below.
1. The SCI performs internal initialization in synchronization with a synchronization clock input
or output, starts receiving data, and stores the receive data in RSR.
2. If an overrun error (when reception of the next data is completed while the RDRF flag is still
set to 1) occurs, the ORER bit in SSR is set to 1. If the RIE bit in SCR is set to 1 at this time,
an ERI interrupt request is generated. Receive data is not transferred to RDR. The RDRF flag
remains to be set to 1.
3. If reception finishes successfully, the RDRF bit in SSR is set to 1, and receive data is
transferred to RDR. If the RIE bit in SCR is set to 1 at this time, an RXI interrupt request is
generated. Because the RXI interrupt routine reads the receive data transferred to RDR before
reception of the next receive data has finished, continuous reception can be enabled.

Figure 13.18 Example of SCI Receive Operation in Clock Synchronous Mode
Reception cannot be resumed while a receive error flag is set to 1. Accordingly, clear the ORER,
FER, PER, and RDRF bits to 0 before resuming reception. Figure 13.19 shows a sample flowchart
for serial data reception.
