Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Module
The error interrupt enable bit (ERRIE) enables both the MODF and OVRF bits to generate a receiver/error
CPU interrupt request.
The mode fault enable bit (MODFEN) can prevent the MODF flag from being set so that only the OVRF
bit is enabled by the ERRIE bit to generate receiver/error CPU interrupt requests.
The following sources in the SPI status and control register can generate CPU interrupt requests:
• SPI receiver full bit (SPRF) — SPRF becomes set every time a byte transfers from the shift register
to the receive data register. If the SPI receiver interrupt enable bit, SPRIE, is also set, SPRF
generates an SPI receiver/error CPU interrupt request.
• SPI transmitter empty (SPTE) — SPTE becomes set every time a byte transfers from the transmit
data register to the shift register. If the SPI transmit interrupt enable bit, SPTIE, is also set, SPTE
generates an SPTE CPU interrupt request.
15.8 Resetting the SPI
Any system reset completely resets the SPI. Partial resets occur whenever the SPI enable bit (SPE) is 0.
Whenever SPE is 0, the following occurs:
• The SPTE flag is set.
• Any transmission currently in progress is aborted.
• The shift register is cleared.
• The SPI state counter is cleared, making it ready for a new complete transmission.
• All the SPI port logic is defaulted back to being general-purpose I/O.
These items are reset only by a system reset:
• All control bits in the SPCR register
• All control bits in the SPSCR register (MODFEN, ERRIE, SPR1, and SPR0)
• The status flags SPRF, OVRF, and MODF
By not resetting the control bits when SPE is low, the user can clear SPE between transmissions without
having to set all control bits again when SPE is set back high for the next transmission.
By not resetting the SPRF, OVRF, and MODF flags, the user can still service these interrupts after the
SPI has been disabled. The user can disable the SPI by writing 0 to the SPE bit. The SPI can also be
disabled by a mode fault occurring in an SPI that was configured as a master with the MODFEN bit set.
15.9 Low-Power Modes
The WAIT and STOP instructions put the MCU in low power-consumption standby modes.
15.9.1 Wait Mode
The SPI module remains active after the execution of a WAIT instruction. In wait mode the SPI module
registers are not accessible by the CPU. Any enabled CPU interrupt request from the SPI module can
bring the MCU out of wait mode.
If SPI module functions are not required during wait mode, reduce power consumption by disabling the
SPI module before executing the WAIT instruction.
To exit wait mode when an overflow condition occurs, enable the OVRF bit to generate CPU interrupt
requests by setting the error interrupt enable bit (ERRIE). See 15.7 Interrupts.
