The Synchronous Serial Port (SSP) module is a serial
interface useful for communicating with other periph-
eral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral
devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers,
display drivers, A/D Converters, etc. The SSP module
can operate in one of two modes:
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
• Inter-Integrated Circuit (I
An overview of I
information on the SSP module can be found in the
“PIC
(DS33023).
Refer to application note AN578, “Use of the SSP
Module in the I
(DS00578).

This section contains register definitions and opera-
tional characteristics of the SPI module. Additional
information on the SPI module can be found in the
”PIC
(DS33023).
SPI mode allows 8 bits of data to be synchronously
transmitted and received simultaneously. To accomplish
communication, typically three pins are used:
• Serial Data Out (SDO)
• Serial Data In (SDI)
• Serial Clock (SCK)
Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave
mode of operation:
• Slave Select (SS)
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be
specified. This is done by programming the appropriate
control bits in the SSPCON (SSPCON<5:0>) and
SSPSTAT<7:6> registers. These control bits allow the
following to be specified:
• Master mode (SCK is the clock output)
• Slave mode (SCK is the clock input)
• Clock polarity (Idle state of SCK)
• Clock edge (output data on rising/falling edge of
• Clock rate (Master mode only)
• Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)
SCK)
