PIC32MX5XX/6XX/7XX
17.0 SERIAL PERIPHERAL
INTERFACE (SPI)
Note 1: This data sheet summarizes the features
of the PIC32MX5XX/6XX/7XX family of
devices. It is not intended to be a
comprehensive reference source. To
complement the information in this data
sheet, refer to Section 23. “Serial
Peripheral Interface (SPI)” (DS61106) in
the “PIC32 Family Reference Manual”,
which is available from the Microchip web
site (www.microchip.com/PIC32).
2: Some registers and associated bits
described in this section may not be
available on all devices. Refer to
Section 4.0 “Memory Organization” in
this data sheet for device-specific register
and bit information.
The SPI module is a synchronous serial interface that
is useful for communicating with external peripherals
and other microcontroller devices. These peripheral
devices may be Serial EEPROMs, Shift registers, dis-
play drivers, Analog-to-Digital Converters, etc. The
PIC32 SPI module is compatible with Motorola^® SPI
and SIOP interfaces.
Following are some of the key features of this module:
• Master and Slave modes support
• Four different clock formats
• Enhanced Framed SPI protocol support
• User-configurable 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit data
width
• Separate SPI FIFO buffers for receive and
transmit
- FIFO buffers act as 4/8/16-level deep FIFOs
based on 32/16/8-bit data width
• Programmable interrupt event on every 8-bit,
16-bit and 32-bit data transfer
• Operation during CPU Sleep and Idle mode
• Fast bit manipulation using CLR, SET and INV
registers
