Queuing Transmission Data
16.6 Queuing Transmission Data
The double-buffered transmit data register allows a data byte to be queued and
transmitted. For an SPI configured as a master, a queued data byte is transmitted
immediately after the previous transmission has completed. The SPI transmitter
empty flag (SPTE) indicates when the transmit data buffer is ready to accept new
data. Write to the transmit data register only when the SPTE bit is high. Figure 16-9
shows the timing associated with doing back-to-back transmissions with the SPI
(SPSCK has CPHA: CPOL = 1:0).

Figure 16-9. SPRF/SPTE CPU Interrupt Timing
The transmit data buffer allows back-to-back transmissions without the slave
precisely timing its writes between transmissions as in a system with a single data
buffer. Also, if no new data is written to the data buffer, the last value contained in
the shift register is the next data word to be transmitted.
For an idle master or idle slave that has no data loaded into its transmit buffer, the
SPTE is set again no more than two bus cycles after the transmit buffer empties
into the shift register. This allows the user to queue up a 16-bit value to send. For
an already active slave, the load of the shift register cannot occur until the
transmission is completed. This implies that a back-to-back write to the transmit
data register is not possible. The SPTE indicates when the next write can occur.
