17.8 Queuing Transmission Data
The double-buffered transmit data register allows a data byte to be queued and transmitted. For an SPI
configured as a master, a queued data byte is transmitted immediately after the previous transmission
has completed. The SPI transmitter empty flag (SPTE in SPSCR) indicates when the transmit data buffer
is ready to accept new data. Write to the SPI data register only when the SPTE bit is high. Figure 17-10
shows the timing associated with doing back-to-back transmissions with the SPI (SPSCK has
CPHA:CPOL = 1:0).
For a slave, the transmit data buffer allows back-to-back transmissions to occur without the slave having
to time the write of its data between the transmissions. Also, if no new data is written to the data buffer,
the last value contained in the shift register will be the next data word transmitted.
