Configuration The SPI configuration is made through SPCON.
Master Configuration The SPI operates in master mode when the MSTR bit in SPCON is set.
Slave Configuration The SPI operates in slave mode when the MSTR bit in SPCON is cleared and data has
been loaded is SPDAT.
Data Exchange There are 2 possible methods to exchange data in master and slave modes:
• polling
• interrupts
Master Mode with Polling
Policy Figure 119 shows the initialization phase and the transfer phase flows using the polling
method. Using this flow prevents any overrun error occurrence.
The bit rate is selected according to Table 131. The transfer format depends on the
slave peripheral.
SS may be deasserted between transfers depending also on the slave peripheral.
SPIF flag is cleared when reading SPDAT (SPSTA has been read before by the “end of
transfer” check).
This polling method provides the fastest effective transmission and is well adapted when
communicating at high speed with other microcontrollers. However, the procedure may
then be interrupted at any time by higher priority tasks.
