11.6.2 Slave Mode

The SPI operates in the Slave mode when the SPMSTR bit is clear. While in the Slave mode, the

SCLK pin is the input for the serial clock from the master DSC. Before a data transmission

occurs, the SS pin of the slave SPI must be at Logic 0. SS must remain low until the transmission

is complete or a Mode Fault Error occurs.

Note:

The SPI must be enabled (SPE = 1) for slave transmissions to be received.

Note:

Data in the Transmitter Shift register will be unaffected by SCLK transitions in the

event the SPI is operating as a slave but is deselected.

In a slave SPI module, data enters the Shift register under the control of the Serial Clock (SCLK)

from the Master SPI module. After a full length data transmission enters the Shift register of a

slave SPI, it transfers to the SPI Data Receive Register (SPDRR) and the SPI Receiver Full

(SPRF) bit in the SPI Status and Control Register (SPSCR) is set. If the Receive Data Register

(SPDRR), and the SPRF bit are set in the SPSCR, a receive interrupt is also generated. To

prevent an overflow condition, slave software must read the SPDRR before another full length

data transmission enters the Shift register.

The maximum frequency of the SCLK for a SPI configured as a slave is the bus clock speed. The

bus clock speed is twice as fast as the fastest master SCLK potential generation. Frequency of the

SCLK for an SPI configured as a slave does not have to correspond to any particular SPI baud

rate. The baud rate only controls the speed of the SCLK generated by an SPI configured as a

master. Therefore, the frequency of the SCLK for a SPI configured as a slave can be any

frequency less than, or equal to, the bus speed.
