Introduction
The SPI module allows a duplex, synchronous, serial communication between the MCU and peripheral
devices. Software can poll the SPI status flags or the SPI operation can be interrupt driven.

Features
The SPI includes these distinctive features:
•
Master mode and slave mode
•
Selectable 8 or 16-bit transfer width
•
Bidirectional mode
•
Slave select output
•
Mode fault error flag with CPU interrupt capability
•
Double-buffered data register
•
Serial clock with programmable polarity and phase
•
Control of SPI operation during wait mode
15.1.3
Modes of Operation
The SPI functions in three modes: run, wait, and stop.
•
Run mode
This is the basic mode of operation.
•
Wait mode
