• Bit 6 - TXCIEn: TX Complete Interrupt Enable
Writing this bit to one enables interrupt on the TXCn Flag. A USART Transmit Complete
interrupt will be generated only if the TXCIEn bit is written to one, the Global Interrupt
Flag in SREG is written to one and the TXCn bit in UCSRnA is set.
• Bit 5 - UDRIE: USART Data Register Empty Interrupt Enable
Writing this bit to one enables interrupt on the UDREn Flag. A Data Register Empty
interrupt will be generated only if the UDRIE bit is written to one, the Global Interrupt
Flag in SREG is written to one and the UDREn bit in UCSRnA is set.
• Bit 4 - RXENn: Receiver Enable
Writing this bit to one enables the USART Receiver in MSPIM mode. The Receiver will
override normal port operation for the RxDn pin when enabled. Disabling the Receiver
will flush the receive buffer. Only enabling the receiver in MSPI mode (i.e. setting
RXENn=1 and TXENn=0) has no meaning since it is the transmitter that controls the
transfer clock and since only master mode is supported.
• Bit 3 - TXENn: Transmitter Enable
Writing this bit to one enables the USART Transmitter. The Transmitter will override nor-
mal port operation for the TxDn pin when enabled. The disabling of the Transmitter
(writing TXENn to zero) will not become effective until ongoing and pending transmis-
sions are completed, i.e., when the Transmit Shift Register and Transmit Buffer Register
do not contain data to be transmitted. When disabled, the Transmitter will no longer
override the TxDn port.
• Bit 2:0 - Reserved Bits in MSPI mode
When in MSPI mode, these bits are reserved for future use. For compatibility with future
devices, these bits must be written to zero when UCSRnB is written.

• Bit 7:6 - UMSELn1:0: USART Mode Select
These bits select the mode of operation of the USART as shown in Table 112. See
“USART Control and Status Register n C – UCSRnC” on page 225 for full description of
the normal USART operation. The MSPIM is enabled when both UMSELn bits are set to
one. The UDORDn, UCPHAn, and UCPOLn can be set in the same write operation
where the MSPIM is enabled.
