20.7 Queuing Transmission Data
The double-buffered transmit data register allows a data byte to be
queued and transmitted. For an SPI configured as a master, a queued
data byte is transmitted immediately after the previous transmission has
completed. The SPI transmitter empty flag (SPTE) indicates when the
transmit data buffer is ready to accept new data. Write to the transmit
data register only when the SPTE bit is high.
Figure 20-8
shows the
timing associated with doing back-to-back transmissions with the SPI
(SPSCK has CPHA: CPOL = 1:0).
Figure 20-8. SPRF/SPTE CPU Interrupt Timing
The transmit data buffer allows back-to-back transmissions without the
slave precisely timing its writes between transmissions as in a system
with a single data buffer. Also, if no new data is written to the data buffer,
the last value contained in the shift register is the next data word to be
transmitted.
