24.2.4 Operation with SPIENA
The SPIENA operates as a WAIT signal pin. For both the slave and the master, the SPIENA pin must be
configured to be functional (SPIPC0[8] = 1). In this mode, an active-low signal from the slave on the
SPIENA pin allows the master SPI to drive the clock pulse stream. A high signal tells the master to hold
the clock signal (and delay SPI activity).
If the SPIENA pin is in high-impedance mode (ENABLE_HIGHZ = 1), the slave will put SPIENA into the
high-impedance once it completes receiving a new character. If the SPIENA pin is in push-pull mode
(ENABLE_HIGHZ = 0), the slave will drive SPIENA to 1 once it completes receiving a new character. The
slave will drive SPIENA low again for the next word to transfer, after new data is written to the slave TX
shift register.
In master mode (CLKMOD = 1), if the SPIENA pin is configured as functional, then the pin acts as an
input pin. If configured as a slave SPI and as functional, the SPIENA pin acts as an output pin.
NOTE:
During a transfer, if a slave-mode SPI detects a deassertion of its chip select before its
internal character length counter overflows, then it places SPISOMI and SPIENA (if
ENABLE_HIGHZ bit is set to 1) in high-impedance mode. Once this condition has occurred,
if a SPICLK edge is detected while the chip select is deasserted, then the SPI stops that
transfer and sets an DLENERR error flag and generates an interrupt (if enabled).
