13.8 Interrupt Sources

13.8.1 Interrupts in Normal Serial Communication Interface Mode

Table 13.12 shows the interrupt sources in normal serial communication interface mode. A

different interrupt vector is assigned to each interrupt source, and individual interrupt sources can

be enabled or disabled using the enable bits in SCR.

When the TDRE flag in SSR is set to 1, a TXI interrupt request is generated. When the TEND flag

in SSR is set to 1, a TEI interrupt request is generated. A TXI interrupt can activate the DTC to

allow data transfer. The TDRE flag is automatically cleared to 0 at data transfer by the DTC.

When the RDRF flag in SSR is set to 1, an RXI interrupt request is generated. When the ORER,

PER, or FER flag in SSR is set to 1, an ERI interrupt request is generated. An RXI interrupt can

activate the DTC to allow data transfer. The RDRF flag is automatically cleared to 0 at data

transfer by the DTC.

A TEI interrupt is requested when the TEND flag is set to 1 while the TEIE bit is set to 1. If a TEI

interrupt and a TXI interrupt are requested simultaneously, the TXI interrupt has priority for

acceptance. However, note that if the TDRE and TEND flags are cleared simultaneously by the

TXI interrupt routine, the SCI cannot branch to the TEI interrupt routine later.
