Chapter 9 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPIV3)
9.4.1 Master Mode
The SPI operates in master mode when the MSTR bit is set. Only a master SPI module can initiate
transmissions. A transmission begins by writing to the master SPI Data Register. If the shift register is
empty, the byte immediately transfers to the shift register. The byte begins shifting out on the MOSI pin
under the control of the serial clock.
• S-clock
The SPR2, SPR1, and SPR0 baud rate selection bits in conjunction with the SPPR2, SPPR1, and
SPPR0 baud rate preselection bits in the SPI Baud Rate register control the baud rate generator and
determine the speed of the transmission. The SCK pin is the SPI clock output. Through the SCK
pin, the baud rate generator of the master controls the shift register of the slave peripheral.
• MOSI and MISO Pins
In master mode, the function of the serial data output pin (MOSI) and the serial data input pin
(MISO) is determined by the SPC0 and BIDIROE control bits.
• SS Pin
If MODFEN and SSOE bit are set, the SS pin is configured as slave select output. The SS output
becomes low during each transmission and is high when the SPI is in idle state.
If MODFEN is set and SSOE is cleared, the SS pin is configured as input for detecting mode fault
error. If the SS input becomes low this indicates a mode fault error where another master tries to
drive the MOSI and SCK lines. In this case, the SPI immediately switches to slave mode, by
clearing the MSTR bit and also disables the slave output buffer MISO (or SISO in bidirectional
mode). So the result is that all outputs are disabled and SCK, MOSI and MISO are inputs. If a
transmission is in progress when the mode fault occurs, the transmission is aborted and the SPI is
forced into idle state.
This mode fault error also sets the mode fault (MODF) flag in the SPI Status Register (SPISR). If the SPI
interrupt enable bit (SPIE) is set when the MODF flag gets set, then an SPI interrupt sequence is also
requested.
When a write to the SPI Data Register in the master occurs, there is a half SCK-cycle delay. After the delay,
SCK is started within the master. The rest of the transfer operation differs slightly, depending on the clock
format specified by the SPI clock phase bit, CPHA, in SPI Control Register 1 (see Section 9.4.3,
“Transmission Formats”).
NOTE
A change of the bits CPOL, CPHA, SSOE, LSBFE, MODFEN, SPC0,
BIDIROE with SPC0 set, SPPR2–SPPR0 and SPR2–SPR0 in master mode
will abort a transmission in progress and force the SPI into idle state. The
remote slave cannot detect this, therefore the master has to ensure that the
remote slave is set back to idle state.
