SSR is an 8-bit register containing status flags that indicate the operational status of SCI3, and
multiprocessor bits.
SSR can be read or written to by the CPU at any time, but 1 cannot be written to bits TDRE,
RDRF, OER, PER, and FER.
Bits TEND and MPBR are read-only bits, and cannot be modified.
SSR is initialized to H'84 upon reset, and in standby, module standby, or watch mode.
Bit 7—Transmit Data Register Empty (TDRE)
Bit 7 indicates that transmit data has been transferred from TDR to TSR.
Bit 7
TDRE Description
0 Transmit data written in TDR has not been transferred to TSR
Clearing conditions:
After reading TDRE = 1, cleared by writing 0 to TDRE
When data is written to TDR by an instruction
1 Transmit data has not been written to TDR, or transmit data written in
TDR has been transferred to TSR
Setting conditions:
When bit TE in SCR3 is cleared to 0
When data is transferred from TDR to TSR (initial value)
