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 in normal serial communication interface mode and Smart Card interface 
mode. 
Normal Serial Communication Interface Mode (When SMIF bit in SCMR is 0) 
Bit  Bit Name  Initial Value  R/W  Description 
7 TDRE  1  R/(W)
*
  Transmit Data Register Empty 
Indicates 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 writing to TDR is enabled. 
[Clearing conditions] 
•  When 0 is written to TDRE after reading 
TDRE = 1 
•  When the DMAC or DTC is activated by a TXI 
interrupt request and transfers data to TDR 
6 RDRF  0  R/(W)
*
  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 or DTC is activated by an 
RXI interrupt and transferred data from RDR 
The RDRF flag is not affected and retains its 
previous value when the RE bit in SCR is cleared 
to 0. Exercise care because if reception of the 
next data is completed while the RDRF flag is set 
to 1, an overrun error occurs and receive data will 
be lost.
