8.7.2.1

Receive FIFO Interrupt Enable (RIE)

The Receive FIFO Interrupt Enable (RIE) bit is used to mask or enable the receive FIFO service

request interrupt. When RIE=0, the interrupt is masked and the interrupt controller ignores the state
of the Receive FIFO Service Request (RFS) bit in the SSPC Status Register. When the RIE bit is

set to a 1, the interrupt is enabled and, if the RFS bit is set to a 1, an interrupt request is made to the

interrupt controller. If the RIE bit is set to 0 neither the RFS bit’s current state nor the receive FIFO

logic’s ability to set and clear the RFS bit is affected. However, the interrupt request generation is

blocked.

The RIE bit’s state does not affect the receive FIFO DMA request generation that is asserted when

the RFS bit is set to a 1.

8.7.2.2

Transmit FIFO Interrupt Enable (TIE)

The Transmit FIFO Interrupt Enable (TIE) bit is used to mask or enable the transmit FIFO service

request interrupt. When the TIE bit is set to a 0, the interrupt is masked and the interrupt controller

ignores the state of the Transmit FIFO Service Request (TFS) bit in the SSPC Status Register.
When the TIE bit is set to a 1, the interrupt is enabled and, if the TFS bit is set to a 1, an interrupt

request is made to the interrupt controller. If the TIE bit is set to a 0, neither the TFS bit’s current

state nor the transmit FIFO logic’s ability to set and clear the TFS bit is affected. However, the

interrupt request generation is blocked.

The TIE bit’s state does not affect the transmit FIFO DMA request generation that is asserted when

the TFS bit is set to a 1.

8.7.2.3

Loop Back Mode (LBM)

The loop back mode (LBM) bit is used to enable and disable the SSP transmit and receive logic.

When LBM=0, the SSP operates normally. The transmit and receive data paths are separate and

communicate via their respective pins. However, since the SSP is a master device, it must transmit

in order to receive while in either SSP or SPI mode. When LBM=1, the transmit serial shifter’s
output is directly connected internally to the receive serial shifter’s input.

TFT

(Transmit FIFO

Threshold)

Sets threshold level at which Transmit FIFO generates an interrupt or DMA request. This
level must be set to the desired threshold value minus 1.

13:10

RFT

(Receive FIFO

Threshold)

Sets threshold level at which Receive FIFO generates an interrupt or DMA request. This
level must be set to the desired threshold value minus 1.
