CHAPTER 20 SERIAL INTERFACE CHANNEL 2
(3) Asynchronous serial interface status register (ASIS)
This is a register which displays the type of error when a reception error is generated in the asynchronous
serial interface mode.
ASIS is read with a 1-bit or 8-bit memory manipulation instruction.
In 3-wire serial I/O mode, the contents of the ASIS are undefined.
RESET input sets ASIS to 00H.

data from receive buffer register is read)

Parity Error Flag
Parity error not generated
Parity error generated (When transmit data parity
does not match)
Notes 1. The receive buffer register (RXB) must be read when an overrun error is generated. Overrun
errors will continue to be generated until RXB is read.
2. Even if the stop bit length has been set as 2 bits by bit 2 (SL) of the asynchronous serial interface
mode register, only single stop bit detection is performed during reception.
