Bit 7 – RXCIE RX Complete Interrupt Enable

Writing this bit to one enables interrupt on the UCSRnA.RXC Flag. A USART Receive Complete interrupt will be generated only if the RXCIE bit is written to one, the Global Interrupt Flag in SREG is written to one and the RXC bit in UCSRnA is set.

Bit 6 – TXCIE TX Complete Interrupt Enable

Writing this bit to one enables interrupt on the TXC Flag. A USART Transmit Complete interrupt will be generated only if the TXCIE bit is written to one, the Global Interrupt Flag in SREG is written to one and the TXC bit in UCSRnA is set.

Bit 5 – UDRIE USART Data Register Empty Interrupt Enable

Writing this bit to one enables interrupt on the UDRE Flag. A Data Register Empty interrupt will be generated only if the UDRIE bit is written to one, the Global Interrupt Flag in SREG is written to one and the UDRE bit in UCSRnA is set.

Bit 4 – RXEN Receiver Enable

Writing this bit to one enables the USART Receiver. The Receiver will override normal port operation for the RxDn pin when enabled. Disabling the Receiver will flush the receive buffer invalidating the FE, DOR, and UPE Flags.

Bit 3 – TXEN Transmitter Enable

Writing this bit to one enables the USART Transmitter. The Transmitter will override normal port operation for the TxDn pin when enabled. The disabling of the Transmitter (writing TXEN to zero) will not become effective until ongoing and pending transmissions are completed, i.e., when the Transmit Shift Register and Transmit Buffer Register do not contain data to be transmitted. When disabled, the Transmitter will no longer override the TxDn port.

Bit 2 – UCSZ2 Character Size

The UCSZ2 bits combined with the UCSZ[1:0] bit in UCSRnC sets the number of data bits (Character Size) in a frame the Receiver and Transmitter use.

This bit is reserved in Master SPI Mode (MSPIM).

Bit 1 – RXB8 Receive Data Bit 8

RXB8 is the ninth data bit of the received character when operating with serial frames with nine data bits. Must be read before reading the low bits from UDRn.

This bit is reserved in Master SPI Mode (MSPIM).

Bit 0 – TXB8 Transmit Data Bit 8

TXB8 is the ninth data bit in the character to be transmitted when operating with serial frames with nine data bits. Must be written before writing the low bits to UDRn.

This bit is reserved in Master SPI Mode (MSPIM).
