17.3.1 REGISTERS
The MSSP module has four registers for SPI mode
operation. These are:
• SSPCON1 – Control Register
• SSPSTAT – STATUS register
• SSPBUF – Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer
• SSPSR – Shift Register (Not directly accessible)
SSPCON1 and SSPSTAT are the control and STATUS
registers in SPI mode operation. The SSPCON1 regis-
ter is readable and writable. The lower 6 bits of the
SSPSTAT are read-only. The upper two bits of the
SSPSTAT are read/write.
SSPSR is the shift register used for shifting data in
and out. SSPBUF provides indirect access to the
SSPSR register. SSPBUF is the buffer register to
which data bytes are written, and from which data
bytes are read.
In receive operations, SSPSR and SSPBUF together
create a double-buffered receiver. When SSPSR
receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPBUF
and the SSPIF interrupt is set.
During transmission, the SSPBUF is not
double-buffered. A write to SSPBUF will write to both
SSPBUF and SSPSR.

Legend:
R = Readable bit
-n = Value at POR
W = Writable bit
‘1’ = Bit is set
U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’
‘0’ = Bit is cleared
x = Bit is unknown
bit 7
SMP: Sample bit
SPI Master mode:
1 = Input data sampled at end of data output time
0 = Input data sampled at middle of data output time
SPI Slave mode:
SMP must be cleared when SPI is used in Slave mode.
bit 6
CKE: SPI Clock Select bit⁽¹⁾
1 = Transmit occurs on transition from active to Idle clock state
0 = Transmit occurs on transition from Idle to active clock state
bit 5
D/A: Data/Address bit
Used in I²C mode only.
bit 4
P: Stop bit
Used in I²C mode only. This bit is cleared when the MSSP module is disabled, SSPEN is cleared.
bit 3
S: Start bit
Used in I²C mode only.
bit 2
R/W: Read/Write Information bit
Used in I²C mode only.
bit 1
UA: Update Address bit
Used in I²C mode only.
bit 0
BF: Buffer Full Status bit (Receive mode only)
1 = Receive complete, SSPBUF is full
0 = Receive not complete, SSPBUF is empty
Note 1: Polarity of clock state is set by the CKP bit of the SSPCON1 register.
