• Serial clock (SPSCK)
• Master out/slave in (MOSI)
• Master in/slave out (MISO)
An SPI transfer is initiated in the master SPI device by reading the SPI status register (SPIS) when
SPTEF = 1 and then writing data to the transmit data buffer (write to SPIDH:SPIDL). When a transfer is
complete, received data is moved into the receive data buffer. The SPIDH:SPIDL registers act as the SPI
receive data buffer for reads and as the SPI transmit data buffer for writes.
The clock phase control bit (CPHA) and a clock polarity control bit (CPOL) in the SPI Control Register 1
(SPIC1) select one of four possible clock formats to be used by the SPI system. The CPOL bit simply
selects a non-inverted or inverted clock. The CPHA bit is used to accommodate two fundamentally
different protocols by sampling data on odd numbered SPSCK edges or on even numbered SPSCK edges.
The SPI can be configured to operate as a master or as a slave. When the MSTR bit in SPI control register
1 is set, master mode is selected, when the MSTR bit is clear, slave mode is selected.
13.4.2 Master Mode
The SPI operates in master mode when the MSTR bit is set. Only a master SPI module can initiate
transmissions. A transmission begins by reading the SPIS register while SPTEF = 1 and writing to the
master SPI data registers. If the shift register is empty, the byte immediately transfers to the shift register.
The data begins shifting out on the MOSI pin under the control of the serial clock.
• SPSCK
The SPR2, SPR1, and SPR0 baud rate selection bits in conjunction with the SPPR2, SPPR1, and SPPR0
baud rate preselection bits in the SPI Baud Rate register control the baud rate generator and determine the
speed of the transmission. The SPSCK pin is the SPI clock output. Through the SPSCK pin, the baud rate
generator of the master controls the shift register of the slave peripheral.
• MOSI, MISO pin
In master mode, the function of the serial data output pin (MOSI) and the serial data input pin (MISO) is
determined by the SPC0 and BIDIROE control bits.
• SS pin
If MODFEN and SSOE bit are set, the SS pin is configured as slave select output. The SS output becomes
low during each transmission and is high when the SPI is in idle state.
If MODFEN is set and SSOE is cleared, the SS pin is configured as input for detecting mode fault error.
If the SS input becomes low this indicates a mode fault error where another master tries to drive the MOSI
and SPSCK lines. In this case, the SPI immediately switches to slave mode, by clearing the MSTR bit and
also disables the slave output buffer MISO (or SISO in bidirectional mode). So the result is that all outputs
are disabled and SPSCK, MOSI and MISO are inputs. If a transmission is in progress when the mode fault
occurs, the transmission is aborted and the SPI is forced into idle state.
This mode fault error also sets the mode fault (MODF) flag in the SPI Status Register (SPIS). If the SPI
interrupt enable bit (SPIE) is set when the MODF flag gets set, then an SPI interrupt sequence is also
requested.
