Serial Data Reception (Synchronous Mode): Figure 15.21 shows a sample flowchart for serial
reception.
Use the following procedure for serial data reception after enabling the SCI for reception.
When changing the operating mode from asynchronous to synchronous, be sure to check that the
ORER, PER, and FER flags are all cleared to 0. The RDRF flag will not be set if the FER or PER
flag is set to 1, and neither transmit nor receive operations will be possible.
1. Receive error handling: If a

receive error occurs, read the
ORER flag in SCSSR1 , and
after performing the appropriate
error handling, clear the ORER

flag to 0. Transfer cannot be
resumed if the ORER flag is set
to 1.

data read: Read SCSSR1 and

3. Serial reception continuation
procedure: To continue serial
reception, finish reading the
RDRF flag, reading SCRDR1,
and clearing the RDRF flag to 0,
before the MSB (bit 7) of the
current frame is received. (The

request and the SCRDR1 value
