24.5.9 Control C - Master SPI Mode
This register description is valid only when the USART is in Master SPI mode (CMODE written to MSPI). For other CMODE values, see Control C - Async Mode.
See 24.3.2.5 USART in Master SPI mode for a full description of the Master SPI mode operation.

Bits 7:6 – CMODE[1:0] USART Communication Mode
Writing a value different than 0x3 to these bits alters the available bit fields in this register, see Control C - Async Mode.
| Value | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | ASYNCHRONOUS | Asynchronous USART |
| 0x1 | SYNCHRONOUS | Synchronous USART |
| 0x2 | IRCOM | Infrared Communication |
| 0x3 | MSPI | Master SPI |
Bit 2 – UDORD Data Order
Writing this bit selects the frame format.
The receiver and transmitter use the same setting. Changing the setting of UDORD will corrupt all ongoing communication for both the receiver and the transmitter.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | MSB of the data word is transmitted first |
| 1 | LSB of the data word is transmitted first |
Bit 1 – UCPHA Clock Phase
The UCPHA bit setting determines if data is sampled on the leading (first) edge or tailing (last) edge of XCKn. Refer to the 24.3.2.1.5 Master SPI Mode Clock Generation for details.
