Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
The first part of Figure 19-7 shows how to read the SPSCR and SPDR to clear the SPRF without
problems. However, as illustrated by the second transmission example, the OVRF flag can be set in
between the time that SPSCR and SPDR are read.
In this case, an overflow can be easily missed. Since no more SPRF interrupts can be generated until this
OVRF is serviced, it will not be obvious that bytes are being lost as more transmissions are completed.
To prevent this, either enable the OVRF interrupt or do another read of the SPSCR after the read of the
SPDR. This ensures that the OVRF was not set before the SPRF was cleared and that future
transmissions will complete with an SPRF interrupt. Figure 19-8 illustrates this process. Generally, to
avoid this second SPSCR read, enable the OVRF to the CPU by setting the ERRIE bit (SPSCR).

19.6.2 Mode Fault Error
For the MODF flag (in SPSCR) to be set, the mode fault error enable bit (MODFEN in SPSCR) must be
set. Clearing the MODFEN bit does not clear the MODF flag but does prevent MODF from being set again
after MODF is cleared.
MODF generates a receiver/error CPU interrupt request if the error interrupt enable bit (ERRIE in SPSCR)
is also set. The SPRF, MODF, and OVRF interrupts share the same CPU interrupt vector. MODF and
OVRF can generate a receiver/error CPU interrupt request. (See Figure 19-9). It is not possible to enable
only MODF or OVRF to generate a receiver/error CPU interrupt request. However, leaving MODFEN low
prevents MODF from being set.
