Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Module
The SPI module allows full-duplex, synchronous, serial communication between the MCU and peripheral
devices, including other MCUs. Software can poll the SPI status flags or SPI operation can be interrupt
driven. All SPI interrupts can be serviced by the CPU.
The following paragraphs describe the operation of the SPI module.
15.4.1 Master Mode
The SPI operates in master mode when the SPI master bit, SPMSTR (SPCR $0010), is set.
Only a master SPI module can initiate transmissions. Software begins the transmission from a master SPI
module by writing to the SPI data register. If the shift register is empty, the byte immediately transfers to
the shift register, setting the SPI transmitter empty bit, SPTE (SPSCR $0011). The byte begins shifting
out on the MOSI pin under the control of the serial clock. (See
The SPR1 and SPR0 bits control the baud rate generator and determine the speed of the shift register.
(See
master also controls the shift register of the slave peripheral.
As the byte shifts out on the MOSI pin of the master, another byte shifts in from the slave on the master’s
MISO pin. The transmission ends when the receiver full bit, SPRF (SPSCR), becomes set. At the same
time that SPRF becomes set, the byte from the slave transfers to the receive data register. In normal
operation, SPRF signals the end of a transmission. Software clears SPRF by reading the SPI status and
control register and then reading the SPI data register. Writing to the SPI data register clears the SPTIE
bit.
15.4.2 Slave Mode
The SPI operates in slave mode when the SPMSTR bit (SPCR, $0010) is clear. In slave mode the SPSCK
pin is the input for the serial clock from the master MCU. Before a data transmission occurs, the SS pin
of the slave MCU must be at logic 0. SS must remain low until the transmission is complete. (See

Configure the SPI modules as master and slave before enabling them.
Enable the master SPI before enabling the slave SPI. Disable the slave SPI
before disabling the master SPI. See
