Transmitting and Receiving Data Simultaneously (Synchronous Mode): Figure 13.20 shows a
sample flowchart for transmitting and receiving serial data simultaneously and indicates the
procedure to follow.

Error handling
TDRE = 1

Read ORER flag in SSR

Read TDRE flag in SSR

End of transmitting
and receiving?
Clear TE and RE bits to 0 in SCR
RDRF = 1
Yes
SCI initialization: the transmit data output function of the
TxD pin and the read data input function of the RxD pin
are selected, enabling simultaneous transmitting and
receiving.
SCI status check and transmit data write: read SSR, check
that the TDRE flag is 1, then write transmit data in TDR
and clear the TDRE flag to 0.
Notification that the TDRE flag has changed from 0 to 1
can also be given by the TXI interrupt.
Receive error handling: if a receive error occurs, read the
ORER flag in SSR, then after executing the necessary
error handling, clear the ORER flag to 0.
Neither transmitting nor receiving can resume while the
ORER flag remains set to 1.
SCI status check and receive data read: read SSR, check
that the RDRF flag is 1, then read receive data from RDR
and clear the RDRF flag to 0. Notification that the RDRF
flag has changed from 0 to 1 can also be given by the RXI
interrupt.
To continue transmitting and receiving serial data: check
the RDRF flag, read RDR, and clear the RDRF flag to 0
before the MSB (bit 7) of the current frame is received.
Also check that the TDRE flag is set to 1, indicating that
data can be written, write data in TDR, then clear the
TDRE flag to 0 before the MSB (bit 7) of the current frame
is transmitted. When the DMAC is activated by a transmit-
data-empty interrupt request (TXI) to write data in TDR,
the TDRE flag is checked and cleared automatically.
When the DMAC is activated by a receive-data-full
interrupt request (RXI) to read RDR, the RDRF flag is
cleared automatically.
Note: When switching from transmitting or receiving to simultaneous transmitting and receiving, clear both the TE bit
and the RE bit to 0, then set both bits to 1 simultaneously.
