Freescale Semiconductor 247
The CPU can always read the state of the SS pin by configuring the appropriate pin as an input and
reading the port data register. See Table 17-3.
17.12.5 CGND (Clock Ground)
CGND is the ground return for the serial clock pin, SPSCK, and the ground for the port output buffers. It
is internally connected to V
SS
as shown in Table 17-1.
17.13 I/O Registers
Three registers control and monitor SPI operation:
• SPI control register (SPCR)
• SPI status and control register (SPSCR)
• SPI data register (SPDR)
17.13.1 SPI Control Register
The SPI control register:
• Enables SPI module interrupt requests
• Configures the SPI module as master or slave
• Selects serial clock polarity and phase
• Configures the SPSCK, MOSI, and MISO pins as open-drain outputs
• Enables the SPI module
SPRIE — SPI Receiver Interrupt Enable Bit
This read/write bit enables CPU interrupt requests generated by the SPRF bit. The SPRF bit is set
when a byte transfers from the shift register to the receive data register. Reset clears the SPRIE bit.
1 = SPRF CPU interrupt requests enabled
0 = SPRF CPU interrupt requests disabled
