• Bits 5:4 – PMODE[1:0]: Parity Mode
These bits enable and set the type of parity generation according to Table 23-8 on page 313 .
When enabled, the transmitter will automatically generate and send the parity of the transmitted
data bits within each frame. The receiver will generate a parity value for the incoming data and
compare it to the PMODE setting, and if a mismatch is detected, the PERR flag in STATUS will
be set.
These bits are unused in master SPI mode operation.
• Bit 3 – SBMODE: Stop Bit Mode
This bit selects the number of stop bits to be inserted by the transmitter according to Table 23-9
on page 313 . The receiver ignores this setting.
This bit is unused in master SPI mode operation.
• Bit 2:0 – CHSIZE[2:0]: Character Size
The CHSIZE[2:0] bits set the number of data bits in a frame according to Table 23-10 on page
313 . The receiver and transmitter use the same setting.
