Serial Peripheral
Interface – SPI
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) allows high-speed synchronous data transfer
between the ATmega16 and peripheral devices or between several AVR devices. The
ATmega16 SPI includes the following features:
•
Full-duplex, 3-wire Synchronous Data Transfer
• Master or Slave Operation
• LSB First or MSB First Data Transfer
• Seven Programmable Bit Rates
• End of Transmission Interrupt Flag
• Write Collision Flag Protection
• Wake-up from Idle Mode
• Double Speed (CK/2) Master SPI Mode
Figure 65. SPI Block Diagram (1)
Note: 1. Refer to Figure 1 on page 2, and Table 25 on page 55 for SPI pin placement.
The interconnection between Master and Slave CPUs with SPI is shown in Figure 66.
The system consists of two shift registers, and a Master clock generator. The SPI Mas-
ter initiates the communication cycle when pulling low the Slave Select SS pin of the
desired Slave. Master and Slave prepare the data to be sent in their respective shift reg-
isters, and the Master generates the required clock pulses on the SCK line to
interchange data. Data is always shifted from Master to Slave on the Master Out - Slave
In, MOSI, line, and from Slave to Master on the Master In - Slave Out, MISO, line. After
each data packet, the Master will synchronize the Slave by pulling high the Slave Select,
SS, line.
