and SPIF in SPSR will become set. The user will then have to set MSTR to re-enable SPI Mas-
ter mode.
• Bit 3 – CPOL: Clock Polarity
When this bit is written to one, SCK is high when idle. When CPOL is written to zero, SCK is low
when idle. Refer to
for an example. The CPOL functionality is summa-
rized below:
• Bit 2 – CPHA: Clock Phase
The settings of the clock phase bit (CPHA) determine if data is sampled on the leading (first) or
trailing (last) edge of SCK. Refer to
for an example. The CPHA func-
tionality is summarized below:
• Bits 1, 0 – SPR1, SPR0: SPI Clock Rate Select 1 and 0
These two bits control the SCK rate of the device configured as a master. SPR1 and SPR0 have
no effect on the slave. The relationship between SCK and the Oscillator Clock frequency f
osc
is
shown in the following table:
