19.5.2 SPSR – SPI Status Register
• Bit 7 – SPIF: SPI Interrupt Flag
When a serial transfer is complete, the SPIF Flag is set. An interrupt is generated if SPIE in SPCR is set and global
interrupts are enabled. If SS
is an input and is driven low when the SPI is in Master mode, this will also set the SPIF
Flag. SPIF is cleared by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, the
SPIF bit is cleared by first reading the SPI Status Register with SPIF set, then accessing the SPI Data Register
(SPDR).
• Bit 6 – WCOL: Write COLlision Flag
The WCOL bit is set if the SPI Data Register (SPDR) is written during a data transfer. The WCOL bit (and the SPIF
bit) are cleared by first reading the SPI Status Register with WCOL set, and then accessing the SPI Data Register.
• Bit [5:1] – Reserved
These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega48A/PA/88A/PA/168A/PA/328/P and will always read as zero.
• Bit 0 – SPI2X: Double SPI Speed Bit
When this bit is written logic one the SPI speed (SCK Frequency) will be doubled when the SPI is in Master mode
(see Table 19-5). This means that the minimum SCK period will be two CPU clock periods. When the SPI is config-
ured as Slave, the SPI is only guaranteed to work at f
osc
/4 or lower.
The SPI interface on the ATmega48A/PA/88A/PA/168A/PA/328/P is also used for program memory and EEPROM
downloading or uploading. See page 299 for serial programming and verification.
