10.14.2.5 SCICTL2 Register (Offset = 4h) [reset = C0h]
SCICTL2 is shown in Figure 10-15 and described in Table 10-11.
Return to the Summary Table.
SCICTL2 enables the receive-ready, break-detect, and transmit-ready interrupts as well as transmitter-
ready and -empty flags.

15-8 RESERVED R 0h

7 TXRDY R 1h
Transmitter buffer register ready flag.
When set, this bit indicates that the transmit data buffer register,
SCITXBUF, is ready to receive another character. Writing data to the
SCITXBUF automatically clears this bit. When set, this flag asserts a
transmitter interrupt request if the interrupt-enable bit, TX INT ENA
(SCICTL2.0), is also set. TXRDY is set to 1 by enabling the SW
RESET bit (SCICTL1.5) or by a system reset.
Reset type: SYSRSn
0h (R/W) = SCITXBUF is full
1h (R/W) = SCITXBUF is ready to receive the next character
6 TXEMPTY R 1h
Transmitter empty flag.
This flag's value indicates the contents of the transmitter's buffer
register (SCITXBUF) and shift register (TXSHF). An active SW
RESET (SCICTL1.5), or a system reset, sets this bit. This bit does
not cause an interrupt request.
Reset type: SYSRSn
0h (R/W) = Transmitter buffer or shift register or both are loaded
with data
1h (R/W) = Transmitter buffer and shift registers are both empty
5-2 RESERVED R 0h
Reserved
1 RXBKINTENA R/W 0h
Receiver-buffer/break interrupt enable.
This bit controls the interrupt request caused by either the RXRDY
flag or the BRKDT flag (bits SCIRXST.6 and .5) being set. However,
RX/BK INT ENA does not prevent the setting of these flags.
Reset type: SYSRSn
0h (R/W) = Disable RXRDY/BRKDT interrupt
1h (R/W) = Enable RXRDY/BRKDT interrupt
