Bits 31:30 – TXTRHOLD[1:0] Transmit FIFO Threshold

These bits define the threshold for generating the Data Register Empty interrupt and DMA TX trigger.

TXTRHOLD Name Description
0 DEFAULT Interrupt and DMA triggers can be generated as long as the FIFO is not full.
1 HALF Interrupt and DMA triggers are generated when half FIFO space is free.
2 EMPTY Interrupt and DMA triggers are generated when the FIFO is empty.
3 - Reserved

Bits 29:28 – RXTRHOLD[1:0] Receive FIFO Threshold

These bits define the threshold for generating the RX Complete interrupt and DMA RX trigger.

RXTRHOLD Name Description
0 DEFAULT Interrupt and DMA triggers can be generated when a DATA is present in the FIFO.
1 HALF Interrupt and DMA triggers can be generated only when the FIFO is half-full.
2 FULL Interrupt and DMA triggers can be generated only when the FIFO is full.
3 - Reserved

Bit 27 – FIFOEN FIFO Enable

This bit enables the FIFO operation.

ValueDescription
0 FIFO operation is disabled
1 FIFO operation is enabled

Bit 24 – DATA32B Enable 32-Bit Data

This bit enables 32-bit Extension for read and write transactions to the DATA register.

When disabled, access is according to CTRLB.CHSIZE.

ValueDescription
0 Transactions from and to DATA register are 8-bit
1 Transactions from and to DATA register are 32-bit

Bit 17 – FMODE Frame Mode

This bit defines the Frame Mode.

FMODE Name Description
0 HOST Frame Host
1 CLIENT Frame Client

Bit 16 – FRMEN Frame Mode Enable

This bit enables the SPI Frame Mode operation.

FRMEN Name Description
0 DISABLE Frame Mode Disabled
1 ENABLE Frame Mode Enabled

Bit 11 – IGNTUR Ignore Transmit Underrun

This bit controls when the underrun conditions in framed mode must be ignored.

This bit is not synchronized.

ValueDescription
0 When a new FSYNC is detected, zero-bytes frames will be sent while underrun condition detection is not cleared.
1 When a new FSYNC is detected, DATA will be transmitted.

Bit 10 – FSPOL Frame Synch Polarity

This bit defines the valid Frame Synch polarity.

FSPOL Name Description
0 HIGH VCC-level valid polarity
1 LOW Ground-level valid polarity

Bit 9 – FSLEN Frame Synch Length

This bit defines the Frame Synch duration.

FSLEN Name Description
0 STROBE One SCK pulse
1 LEVEL One frame duration valid level

Bit 8 – FSES Frame Sync Edge Select

This bit controls when the frame sync pulse edge must be generated.

This bit is not synchronized.

ValueDescription
0 Frame synchronization pulse (idle-to-active edge) precedes the first bit clock.
1 Frame synchronization pulse (idle-to-active edge) coincides with the first bit clock.

Bits 5:0 – ICSPACE[5:0] Inter-Character Spacing

When non-zero, CTRLC.ICSPACE selects the minimum number of baud cycles the SCK line will not toggle between characters.

ValueDescription
0x00 Inter-Character Spacing is disabled
0x01-0x3F The minimum Inter-Character Spacing
