8.7.1.1 Data Size Select (DSS)
The 4-bit data size select (DSS) field is used to determine the size of the data that the SSPC
transmits and receives. The data can range from 4 to 16 bits in length. When data is programmed to
be less than 16 bits, received data is automatically right-justified and the upper bits in the receive
FIFO are zero-filled by receive logic. Do not left-justify transmit data before placing it in the

External clock select:
0 = On-chip clock used to produce the SSP’s serial clock (SSPSCLK).
1 = SSPEXTCLK is used to create the SSPSCLK.

Synchronous Serial Port Enable:
0 = 0 - SSP operation disabled (pins may function as GPIOs)
1 = 1 - SSP operation enabled

Serial Clock Rate
Value (0 to 255) used to generate transmission rate of SSP.
Bit rate = 3.6864x10
