12.13.7 MSCAN08 Transmitter Flag Register
The abort acknowledge flags are read only. The transmitter buffer empty flags are read and clear only. A 
flag can be cleared by writing a 1 to the corresponding bit position. Writing a 0 has no effect on the flag 
setting. The transmitter buffer empty flags each have an associated interrupt enable bit in the CTCR 
register. A hard or soft reset will resets the register.
ABTAK2–ABTAK0 — Abort Acknowledge
This flag acknowledges that a message has been aborted due to a pending abort request from the 
CPU. After a particular message buffer has been flagged empty, this flag can be used by the 
application software to identify whether the message has been aborted successfully or has been sent. 
The ABTAKx flag is cleared implicitly whenever the corresponding TXE flag is cleared.
1 = The message has been aborted.
0 = The message has not been aborted, thus has been sent out.
TXE2–TXE0 — Transmitter Empty 
This flag indicates that the associated transmit message buffer is empty, thus not scheduled for 
transmission. The CPU must handshake (clear) the flag after a message has been set up in the 
transmit buffer and is due for transmission. The MSCAN08 sets the flag after the message has been 
sent successfully. The flag is also set by the MSCAN08 when the transmission request was 
successfully aborted due to a pending abort request (see 12.12.5 Transmit Buffer Priority Registers). 
If not masked, a receive interrupt is pending while this flag is set.
Clearing a TXEx flag also clears the corresponding ABTAKx flag (ABTAK, see above). When a TXEx 
flag is set, the corresponding ABTRQx bit (ABTRQ) is cleared. See 12.13.8 MSCAN08 Transmitter 
Control Register
1 = The associated message buffer is empty (not scheduled).
0 = The associated message buffer is full (loaded with a message due for transmission).
NOTE
To ensure data integrity, no registers of the transmit buffers should be 
written to while the associated TXE flag is cleared.
The CTFLG register is held in the reset state when the SFTRES bit in 
CMCR0 is set.
