14.5.4  Serial Data Reception (Clocked Synchronous Mode) 
Figure 14.12 shows an example of SCI3 operation for reception in clocked synchronous mode. In 
serial reception, the SCI3 operates as described below. 
1.  The SCI3 performs internal initialization synchronous with a synchronous clock input or 
output, starts receiving data. 
2.  The SCI3 stores the received data in RSR. 
3.  If an overrun error occurs (when reception of the next data is completed while the RDRF flag 
in SSR is still set to 1), the OER bit in SSR is set to 1. If the RIE bit in SCR3 is set to 1 at this 
time, an ERI interrupt request is generated, receive data is not transferred to RDR, and the 
RDRF flag remains to be set to 1. 
4.  If reception is completed successfully, the RDRF bit in SSR is set to 1, and receive data is 
transferred to RDR. If the RIE bit in SCR3 is set to 1 at this time, an RXI interrupt request is 
generated.

Figure 14.12 Example of SCI3 Reception Operation in Clocked Synchronous Mode 
Reception cannot be resumed while a receive error flag is set to 1. Accordingly, clear the OER, 
FER, PER, and RDRF bits to 0 before resuming reception. Figure 14.13 shows a sample flowchart 
for serial data reception.
