13.0 MASTER SYNCHRONOUS
SERIAL PORT (MSSP)
MODULE
13.1 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,
display drivers, A/D converters, etc. The MSSP module
can operate in one of two modes:
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
• Inter-Integrated Circuit^TM (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.
13.2 Control Registers
The MSSP module has three associated registers.
These include a STATUS register and two control
registers.
Register 13-1 shows the MSSP STATUS register
(SSPSTAT), Register 13-2 shows the MSSP Control
Register 1 (SSPCON), and Register 13-3 shows the
MSSP Control Register 2 (SSPCON2).
