Serial Peripheral Interface Module (SPI)
For a slave, the transmit data buffer allows back-to-back transmissions
to occur without the slave having to time the write of its data between the
transmissions. Also, if no new data is written to the data buffer, the last
value contained in the shift register will be the next data word
transmitted.
Resetting the SPI
Any system reset completely resets the SPI. Partial reset occurs
whenever the SPI enable bit (SPE) is low. Whenever SPE is low, the
following occurs:
• The SPTE flag is set.
• Any transmission currently in progress is aborted.
• The shift register is cleared.
• The SPI state counter is cleared, making it ready for a new
complete transmission.
• All the SPI port logic is defaulted back to being general-purpose
I/O.
The following additional items are reset only by a system reset:
• All control bits in the SPCR register
• All control bits in the SPSCR register (MODFEN, ERRIE, SPR1,
and SPR0)
• The status flags SPRF, OVRF, and MODF
By not resetting the control bits when SPE is low, the user can clear SPE
between transmissions without having to reset all control bits when SPE
is set back to high for the next transmission.
By not resetting the SPRF, OVRF, and MODF flags, the user can still
service these interrupts after the SPI has been disabled. The user can
disable the SPI by writing 0 to the SPE bit. The SPI also can be disabled
by a mode fault occurring in an SPI that was configured as a master with
the MODFEN bit set.
