CHAPTER 19 SERIAL INTERFACE CHANNEL 2
(c) Transmission
A transmit operation is started by writing transmit data to the transmit shift register (TXS). The start bit,
parity bit and stop bit(s) are added automatically.
When the transmit operation starts, the data in the transmit shift register (TXS) is shifted out, and when
the transmit shift register (TXS) is empty, a transmission completion interrupt request (INTST) is
generated.

(a) Stop bit length: 1
(b) Stop bit length: 2
Caution Do not rewrite the asynchronous serial interface mode register (ASIM) during a
transmit operation. If rewriting of the ASIM register is performed during transmission,
subsequent transmit operations may not be possible (the normal state is restored by
RESET input).
Whether transmission is in progress or not can be determined by software using a
transmission completion interrupt (INTST) or the interrupt request flag (STIF) set by
the INTST.
