14.0 MASTER SYNCHRONOUS
SERIAL PORT (MSSP)
MODULE
14.1 Master SSP (MSSP) Module
Overview
The Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) module is
a serial interface useful for communicating with other
peripheral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral
devices may be Serial EEPROMs, shift registers, dis-
play drivers, A/D converters, etc. The MSSP module
can operate in one of two modes:
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI^TM)
• Inter-Integrated Circuit (I²C^TM)
- Full Master mode
- Slave mode (with general address call)
The I²C interface supports the following modes in
hardware:
• Master mode
• Multi-Master mode
• Slave mode
