Serial peripheral interface (SPI)

14.1

Introduction

The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) allows full-duplex, synchronous, serial communication

with external devices. An SPI system may consist of a master and one or more slaves or a

system in which devices may be either masters or slaves.

14.2

Main features

●

Full duplex synchronous transfers (on three lines)

●

Simplex synchronous transfers (on two lines)

●

Master or slave operation

●

6 master mode frequencies (fCPU/4 max.)

●

fCPU/2 max. slave mode frequency (see note)

●

SS Management by software or hardware

●

Programmable clock polarity and phase

●

End of transfer interrupt flag

●

Write collision, Master Mode Fault and Overrun flags

Note:

In slave mode, continuous transmission is not possible at maximum frequency due to the

software overhead for clearing status flags and to initiate the next transmission sequence.

14.3

General description

Figure 70 shows the serial peripheral interface (SPI) block diagram. There are three

registers:

●

SPI Control Register (SPICR)

●

SPI Control/Status Register (SPICSR)

●

SPI Data Register (SPIDR)

The SPI is connected to external devices through four pins:

●

MISO: Master In / Slave Out data

●

MOSI: Master Out / Slave In data

●

SCK: Serial Clock out by SPI masters and input by SPI slaves

●

SS: Slave select:

This input signal acts as a ‘chip select’ to let the SPI master communicate with slaves

individually and to avoid contention on the data lines. Slave SS inputs can be driven by

standard I/O ports on the master Device.
