16.13.2 SPI Status and Control Register
The SPI status and control register contains flags to signal these conditions:
• Receive data register full
• Failure to clear SPRF bit before next byte is received (overflow error)
• Inconsistent logic level on SS
pin (mode fault error)
• Transmit data register empty
The SPI status and control register also contains bits that perform these functions:
• Enable error interrupts
• Enable mode fault error detection
• Select master SPI baud rate
SPRF — SPI Receiver Full Bit
This clearable, read-only flag is set each time a byte transfers from the shift register to the receive data
register. SPRF generates a CPU interrupt request if the SPRIE bit in the SPI control register is set also.
During an SPRF CPU interrupt, the CPU clears SPRF by reading the SPI status and control register
with SPRF set and then reading the SPI data register.
Reset clears the SPRF bit.
1 = Receive data register full
0 = Receive data register not full
ERRIE — Error Interrupt Enable Bit
This read/write bit enables the MODF and OVRF bits to generate CPU interrupt requests. Reset clears
the ERRIE bit.
1 = MODF and OVRF can generate CPU interrupt requests
0 = MODF and OVRF cannot generate CPU interrupt requests
OVRF — Overflow Bit
This clearable, read-only flag is set if software does not read the byte in the receive data register before
the next full byte enters the shift register. In an overflow condition, the byte already in the receive data
register is unaffected, and the byte that shifted in last is lost. Clear the OVRF bit by reading the SPI
status and control register with OVRF set and then reading the receive data register. Reset clears the
OVRF bit.
1 = Overflow
0 = No overflow
MODF — Mode Fault Bit
This clearable, read-only flag is set in a slave SPI if the SS
pin goes high during a transmission with
the MODFEN bit set. In a master SPI, the MODF flag is set if the SS
pin goes low at any time with the
