Enabling SPI I/O

To enable the serial port, SSP Enable bit SSPEN of the

SSPCON register must be set. To reset or reconfigure

SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, re-initialize the

SSPCON registers and then set the SSPEN bit. This

configures the SDI, SDO, SCK and SS pins as serial

port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial port

function, their data direction bits (in the TRISA and

TRISC registers) should be set as follows:

• TRISC<7> bit must be set

• SDI is automatically controlled by the SPI module

• SDO must have TRISC<4> bit cleared

• SCK (Master mode) must have TRISC<6> bit

cleared

• SCK (Slave mode) must have TRISC<6> bit set

• If enabled, SS must have TRISA<5> bit set

Any serial port function that is not desired may be

overridden by programming the corresponding data

direction (TRISA and TRISC) registers to the opposite

value.

Typical Connection

Figure 14-2 shows a typical connection between two

microcontrollers. The master controller (Processor 1)

initiates the data transfer by sending the SCK signal.

Data is shifted out of both shift registers on their

programmed clock edge and latched on the opposite

edge of the clock. Both processors should be

programmed to the same Clock Polarity (CKP), then

both controllers would send and receive data at the

same time. Whether the data is meaningful (or dummy

data) depends on the application software. This leads

to three scenarios for data transmission:

• Master sends data – Slave sends dummy data

• Master sends data – Slave sends data

• Master sends dummy data – Slave sends data
