23.5.4 SPI Status Register 1

Name: SPSR1
Offset: 0xAD
Reset: 0x00

Bit 76543210 
 SPIF1WCOL1     SPI2X1 
Access RRR/W 
Reset 000 

Bit 7 – SPIF1 SPI Interrupt Flag 1

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 – WCOL1 Write Collision Flag 1

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 0 – SPI2X1 Double SPI Speed Bit 1

When this bit is written logic one the SPI speed (SCK Frequency) will be doubled when the SPI is in Master mode (refer to Table 23-5). This means that the minimum SCK period will be two CPU clock periods. When the SPI is configured as Slave, the SPI is only guaranteed to work at fosc/4 or lower.

The SPI interface is also used for program memory and EEPROM downloading or uploading. See Serial Downloading for serial programming and verification.
