SPI Operating Modes
The SPI can be programmed to work in a single- or multiple-master environment. This section
describes the SPI master and slave operation in a single-master configuration and then discusses
the multi-master environment. The following sections present a summary of the main modes of
operation which the SPI supports.
18.9.1.1 SPI as a Master Device
In master mode, the SPI sends a message to the slave peripheral, which sends back a
simultaneous reply. A single-master device with multiple slaves can use general-purpose parallel
I/O signals to selectively enable slaves, as shown in Figure 18-22. To eliminate the multi-master
error in a single-master environment, the master SPI_SL input can be forced inactive by selecting
SPI_SL for general-purpose I/O.
