frame. The Shift Register is loaded with new data if it is in idle state (no ongoing transmission) or

immediately after the last stop bit of the previous frame is transmitted. When the Shift Register is

loaded with new data, it will transfer one complete frame at the rate given by the Baud Register,

U2X bit or by XCK depending on mode of operation.

The following code examples show a simple USART transmit function based on polling of the

Data Register Empty (UDRE) Flag. When using frames with less than eight bits, the most signif-

icant bits written to the UDR are ignored. The USART has to be initialized before the function

can be used. For the assembly code, the data to be sent is assumed to be stored in Register

R16

Note:

1. See “About Code Examples” on page 7.

The function simply waits for the transmit buffer to be empty by checking the UDRE Flag, before

loading it with new data to be transmitted. If the Data Register Empty Interrupt is utilized, the

interrupt routine writes the data into the buffer.

Assembly Code Example

USART_Transmit:

; Wait for empty transmit buffer

UCSRA,UDRE

rjmp

USART_Transmit

; Put data (r16) into buffer, sends the data

out

UDR,r16

C Code Example

(1)

void

USART_Transmit( unsigned char data )

{

/* Wait for empty transmit buffer */

while

( !( UCSRA & (1<<UDRE)) )

;

/* Put data into buffer, sends the data */

UDR = data;

}
