Serial Peripheral Interface Module (SPI)
To allow software to clear status bits during a break interrupt, write a logic 1 to the BCFE bit. If a status
bit is cleared during the break state, it remains cleared when the MCU exits the break state.
To protect status bits during the break state, write a logic 0 to the BCFE bit. With BCFE at logic 0 (its
default state), software can read and write I/O registers during the break state without affecting status bits.
Some status bits have a 2-step read/write clearing procedure. If software does the first step on such a bit
before the break, the bit cannot change during the break state as long as BCFE is at logic 0. After the
break, doing the second step clears the status bit.
Since the SPTE bit cannot be cleared during a break with the BCFE bit cleared, a write to the transmit
data register in break mode does not initiate a transmission nor is this data transferred into the shift
register. Therefore, a write to the SPDR in break mode with the BCFE bit cleared has no effect.
15.12 I/O Signals
The SPI module has five I/O pins and shares four of them with a parallel I/O port. They are:
• MISO — Data received
• MOSI — Data transmitted
• SPSCK — Serial clock
• SS — Slave select
• CGND — Clock ground (internally connected to V_SS)
15.12.1 MISO (Master In/Slave Out)
MISO is one of the two SPI module pins that transmits serial data. In full duplex operation, the MISO pin
of the master SPI module is connected to the MISO pin of the slave SPI module. The master SPI
simultaneously receives data on its MISO pin and transmits data from its MOSI pin.
Slave output data on the MISO pin is enabled only when the SPI is configured as a slave. The SPI is
configured as a slave when its SPMSTR bit is logic 0 and its SS pin is at logic 0. To support a
multiple-slave system, a logic 1 on the SS pin puts the MISO pin in a high-impedance state.
When enabled, the SPI controls data direction of the MISO pin regardless of the state of the data direction
register of the shared I/O port.
15.12.2 MOSI (Master Out/Slave In)
MOSI is one of the two SPI module pins that transmits serial data. In full-duplex operation, the MOSI pin
of the master SPI module is connected to the MOSI pin of the slave SPI module. The master SPI
simultaneously transmits data from its MOSI pin and receives data on its MISO pin.
When enabled, the SPI controls data direction of the MOSI pin regardless of the state of the data direction
register of the shared I/O port.
15.12.3 SPSCK (Serial Clock)
The serial clock synchronizes data transmission between master and slave devices. In a master MCU,
the SPSCK pin is the clock output. In a slave MCU, the SPSCK pin is the clock input. In full-duplex
operation, the master and slave MCUs exchange a byte of data in eight serial clock cycles.
When enabled, the SPI controls data direction of the SPSCK pin regardless of the state of the data
direction register of the shared I/O port.
