Bit 6 – DORD Data Order
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | The MSb of the data word is transmitted first |
| 1 | The LSb of the data word is transmitted first |
Bit 5 – MASTER Host/Client Select
This bit selects the desired SPI mode.
If SS is configured as input and driven low while this
bit is ‘1’, then this bit is cleared, and the IF in
SPIn.INTFLAGS is set. The user has to write MASTER = 1 again to
re-enable SPI Host mode.
This behavior is controlled by the Client Select Disable (SSD) bit in SPIn.CTRLB.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | SPI Client mode selected |
| 1 | SPI Host mode selected |
Bit 4 – CLK2X Clock Double
When this bit is written to ‘1’, the SPI speed (SCK frequency,
after internal prescaler) is doubled in Host mode.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | SPI speed (SCK frequency) is not doubled |
| 1 | SPI speed (SCK frequency) is doubled in Host mode |
Bits 2:1 – PRESC[1:0] Prescaler
This bit field controls the SPI clock rate configured in Host mode. These bits have no effect in Client mode. The relationship between SCK and the peripheral clock frequency (fCLK_PER) is shown below.
The output of the SPI prescaler can be doubled by writing the CLK2X bit to ‘1’.| Value | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | DIV4 | CLK_PER/4 |
| 0x1 | DIV16 | CLK_PER/16 |
| 0x2 | DIV64 | CLK_PER/64 |
| 0x3 | DIV128 | CLK_PER/128 |
Bit 0 – ENABLE SPI Enable
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | SPI is disabled |
| 1 | SPI is enabled |
