Functional Description

Figure 84 shows a detailed structure of the SPI module.

Operating Modes

The Serial Peripheral Interface can be configured as one of the two modes: Master
mode or Salve mode. The configuration and initialization of the SPI module is made
through one register:

The Serial Peripheral Control register (SPCON)

Once the SPI is configured, the data exchange is made using:

SPCON

The Serial Peripheral Status register (SPSTA)

The Serial Peripheral Data register (SPDAT)

During an SPI transmission, data is simultaneously transmitted (shifted out serially) and
received (shifted in serially). A serial clock line (SCK) synchronizes shifting and sam-
pling on the two serial data lines (MOSI and MISO). A Slave Select line (SS) allows
individual selection of a Slave SPI device; Slave devices that are not selected do not
interfere with SPI bus activities.

When the Master device transmits data to the Slave device via the MOSI line, the Slave
device responds by sending data to the Master device via the MISO line. This implies
full-duplex transmission with both data out and data in synchronized with the same clock
(Figure 85).
