15.4.4  SCI Initialization (Asynchronous Mode) 
Before transmitting and receiving data, you should first clear the TE and RE bits in SCR to 0, then 
initialize the SCI as shown in figure 15.5. When the operating mode, transfer format, etc., is 
changed, the TE and RE bits must be cleared to 0 before making the change. When the TE bit is 
cleared to 0, the TDRE flag is set to 1. Note that clearing the RE bit to 0 does not initialize the 
contents of the RDRF, PER, FER, and ORER flags, or the contents of RDR. When the external 
clock is used in asynchronous mode, the clock must be supplied even during initialization.

Start of initialization
Set data transfer format in
SMR and SCMR 
[1]
Set CKE1 and CKE0 bits in SCR 
(TE, RE bits 0)
No
Yes
Set value in BRR
Clear TE and RE bits in SCR to 0

Set TE and RE bits in
SCR to 1, and set RIE, TIE, TEIE,
and MPIE bits
[4]
1-bit interval elapsed?
[1]  Set the clock selection in SCR.
  Be sure to clear bits RIE, TIE,
  TEIE, and MPIE, and bits TE and
  RE, to 0.
  When the clock is selected in
  asynchronous mode, it is output
  immediately after SCR settings are
 made.
[2]  Set the data transfer format in SMR
 and SCMR.
[3]  Write a value corresponding to the
  bit rate to BRR. (Not necessary if
  an external clock is used.)
[4]  Wait at least one bit interval, then
  set the TE bit or RE bit in SCR to 1.
  Also set the RIE, TIE, TEIE, and
 MPIE bits.
  Setting the TE and RE bits enables
  the TxD and RxD pins to be used.
