Queuing Transmission Data
The internal SPI clock in the master is a free-running derivative of the internal MCU
clock. To conserve power, it is enabled only when both the SPE and SPMSTR bits
are set. SPSCK edges occur halfway through the low time of the internal MCU
clock. Since the SPI clock is free-running, it is uncertain where the write to the
SPDR occurs relative to the slower SPSCK. This uncertainty causes the variation
in the initiation delay shown in Figure 21-7. This delay is no longer than a single
SPI bit time. That is, the maximum delay is two MCU bus cycles for DIV2, eight
MCU bus cycles for DIV8, 32 MCU bus cycles for DIV32, and 128 MCU bus cycles
for DIV128.
21.6 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 21-8
shows the timing associated with doing back-to-back transmissions with the SPI
(SPSCK has CPHA: CPOL = 1:0).
