SCK0/1
I/O
SCK
CLK
SK
Serial Clock.
SCK/CLK/SK is a clock signal used
to synchronize the transfer of data. It is driven by
the master and received by the slave. When SPI
interface is used, the clock is programmable to be
active-high or active-low, otherwise it is always
active-high. SCK only switches during a data
transfer. Any other time, the SSP interface either
holds it in its inactive state or does not drive it
(leaves it in high-impedance state).
SSEL0/1 I/O
SSEL FS
CS
Frame Sync/Slave Select.
When the SSP
interface is a bus master, it drives this signal to an
active state before the start of serial data and then
releases it to an inactive state after the data has
been sent.The active state of this signal can be
high or low depending upon the selected bus and
mode. When the SSP interface is a bus slave, this
signal qualifies the presence of data from the
Master according to the protocol in use.
When there is just one bus master and one bus
slave, the Frame Sync or Slave Select signal from
the Master can be connected directly to the slave’s
corresponding input. When there is more than one
slave on the bus, further qualification of their Frame
Select/Slave Select inputs will typically be
necessary to prevent more than one slave from
responding to a transfer.
MISO0/1 I/O
MISO DR(M)
DX(S)
SI(M)
SO(S)
Master In Slave Out.
The MISO signal transfers
serial data from the slave to the master. When the
SSP0 is a slave, serial data is output on this signal.
When the SSP0 is a master, it clocks in serial data
from this signal. When the SSP0 is a slave and is
not selected by FS/SSEL, it does not drive this
signal (leaves it in high-impedance state).
MOSI0/1 I/O
MOSI DX(M)
DR(S)
SO(M)
SI(S)
Master Out Slave In.
The MOSI signal transfers
serial data from the master to the slave. When the
SSP0 is a master, it outputs serial data on this
signal. When the SSP0 is a slave, it clocks in serial
data from this signal.
