3.  If no error signal is returned from the receiving end, the ERS bit in SSR is not set to 1. In this 
case, one frame of data is determined to have been transmitted including re-transfer, and the 
TEND bit in SSR is set to 1. Here, a TXI interrupt request is generated if the TIE bit in SCR is 
set to 1. Writing transmit data to TDR starts transmission of the next data. 
Figure 15.28 shows a sample flowchart for transmission. In transmission, the TEND and TDRE 
flags in SSR are simultaneously set to 1, thus generating a TXI interrupt request when TIE in SCR 
is set. If an error occurs, the SCI automatically re-transmits the same data. During re-transmission, 
TEND remains 0. Therefore, the SCI automatically transmit the specified number of bytes, 
including re-transmission in the case of error. However, the ERS flag is not automatically cleared; 
the ERS flag must be cleared by previously setting the RIE bit to 1 to enable an ERI interrupt 
request to be generated at error occurrence.

Note that the TEND flag is set in different timings depending on the GM bit setting in SMR, 
which is shown in figure 15.27.
