Serial Peripheral Interface (S12SPIV4)
12.1 Introduction
The SPI module allows a duplex, synchronous, serial communication between the MCU and peripheral
devices. Software can poll the SPI status flags or the SPI operation can be interrupt driven.

12.1.2 Features
The SPI includes these distinctive features:
• Master mode and slave mode
• Bidirectional mode
• Slave select output
• Mode fault error flag with CPU interrupt capability
• Double-buffered data register
• Serial clock with programmable polarity and phase
• Control of SPI operation during wait mode
12.1.3 Modes of Operation
The SPI functions in three modes: run, wait, and stop.
• Run mode
This is the basic mode of operation.
• Wait mode
