MASTER SYNCHRONOUS

SERIAL PORT (MSSP)

MODULE

17.1

Master SSP (MSSP) Module

Overview

The Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) module is

a serial interface, useful for communicating with other

peripheral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral

devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers, dis-

play drivers, A/D converters, etc. The MSSP module

can operate in one of two modes:

• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)

• Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)

- Full Master mode

- Slave mode (with general address call)

The I2C interface supports the following modes in

hardware:

•Master mode

• Multi-Master mode

• Slave mode

17.2

Control Registers

The MSSP module has three associated registers.

These include a status register (SSPSTAT) and two

control registers (SSPCON1 and SSPCON2). The use

of these registers and their individual configuration bits

differ significantly depending on whether the MSSP

module is operated in SPI or I2C mode.

Additional details are provided under the individual

sections.

17.3

SPI Mode

The SPI mode allows 8 bits of data to be synchronously

transmitted and received simultaneously. All four

modes

SPI

are

supported.

accomplish

communication, typically three pins are used:

• Serial Data Out (SDO) – RC5/SDO

• Serial Data In (SDI) – RC4/SDI/SDA

• Serial Clock (SCK) – RC3/SCK/SCL

Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave

mode of operation:

• Slave Select (SS) – RA5/SS

Figure 17-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSP

module when operating in SPI mode.
