Error Conditions
interrupts share the same CPU interrupt vector. See Figure 20-11. It is
not possible to enable MODF or OVRF individually to generate a
receiver/error CPU interrupt request. However, leaving MODFEN low
prevents MODF from being set.
If the CPU SPRF interrupt is enabled and the OVRF interrupt is not,
watch for an overflow condition. Figure 20-9 shows how it is possible to
miss an overflow. The first part of Figure 20-9 shows how it is possible
to read the SPSCR and SPDR to clear the SPRF without problems.
However, as illustrated by the second transmission example, the OVRF
bit can be set in between the time that SPSCR and SPDR are read.

1 BYTE 1 SETS SPRF BIT.

AND OVRF BIT CLEAR.
3 CPU READS BYTE 1 IN SPDR,
CLEARING SPRF BIT.
4 BYTE 2 SETS SPRF BIT.
5 CPU READS SPSCR WITH SPRF BIT SET
AND OVRF BIT CLEAR.
6 BYTE 3 SETS OVRF BIT. BYTE 3 IS LOST.
7 CPU READS BYTE 2 IN SPDR, CLEARING SPRF BIT,
BUT NOT OVRF BIT.
8 BYTE 4 FAILS TO SET SPRF BIT BECAUSE
OVRF BIT IS NOT CLEARED. BYTE 4 IS LOST.
Figure 20-9. Missed Read of Overflow Condition
In this case, an overflow can be missed easily. Since no more SPRF
interrupts can be generated until this OVRF is serviced, it is not 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 following the read of the SPDR. This ensures that the OVRF
was not set before the SPRF was cleared and that future transmissions
can set the SPRF bit. Figure 20-10 illustrates this process. Generally, to
avoid this second SPSCR read, enable the OVRF to the CPU by setting
the ERRIE bit.
