Idle Line Type Bit
Determines when the receiver starts counting logic 1s as idle
character bits. The counting begins either after the start bit or
after the stop bit. If the count begins after the start bit, then a
string of logic 1s preceding the stop bit may cause false
recognition of an idle character. Beginning the count after the
stop bit avoids false idle character recognition, but requires
properly synchronized transmissions.
1
Idle character bit count
begins after stop bit.
0
Idle character bit count
begins after start bit.
PE

0
Parity Enable Bit
Enables the parity function. When enabled, the parity
function inserts (when transmitter enabled) and checks
(when receiver enabled) a parity bit at the most significant bit
position.
1
Parity function enabled.
0
Parity function disabled.
PT
8
0
Parity Type Bit
Determines whether the SCI generates and checks for even
parity or odd parity. With even parity, an even number of 1s
clears the parity bit and an odd number of 1s sets the parity
bit. With odd parity, an odd number of 1s clears the parity bit
and an even number of 1s sets the parity bit.
1
Odd parity.
0
Even parity.
TIE
7
0
Transmitter Interrupt Enable
Enables the transmit data register empty flag, TDRE, to
generate interrupt requests.
Note:
Since SCISR[TDRE] reset value is 1, setting TIE
immediately after reset results in a UART interrupt
request, regardless of SCICR[TE].
1
TDRE interrupt source
enabled.
0
TDRE interrupt source
disabled.
TCIE
6
0
Transmission Complete Interrupt Enable
Enables the transmission complete flag, TC, to generate
interrupt requests.
Note:
Since the SCISR[TC] reset value is 1, setting TCIE
immediately after reset results in a UART interrupt
request, regardless of SCICR[TE].
1
TC interrupt source enabled.
0
TC interrupt source disabled.
RIE
5
0
Receiver Full Interrupt Enable
Enables the receive data register full flag, RDRF, and the
overrun flag, OR, to generate interrupt requests.
1
RDRF and OR interrupt
sources enabled.
0
RDRF and OR interrupt
sources disabled.
ILIE
4
0
Idle Line Interrupt Enable
Enables the idle line flag, IDLE, to generate interrupt
requests.
1
IDLE interrupt source
enabled.
0
IDLE interrupt source
disabled.
TE
3
0
Transmitter Enable
Enables the SCI transmitter. The TE bit can be used to
queue an idle preamble.
1
Transmitter enabled.
0
Transmitter disabled.
RE
2
0
Receiver Enable
Enables the SCI receiver.
1
Receiver enabled.
0
Receiver disabled.
