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 CTRLC - Asynchronous mode.
See 24.3.3.1.3 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 0x03 to these bits alters the available bit fields in this
register, see CTRLC - Asynchronous
mode.
| Value | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | ASYNCHRONOUS | Asynchronous USART |
| 0x01 | SYNCHRONOUS | Synchronous USART |
| 0x02 | IRCOM | Infrared Communication |
| 0x03 | MSPI | Master SPI |
Bit 2 – UDORD USART Data Order
Writing this bit selects the frame format.
The receiver and transmitter use the same setting. Changing the setting of the UDORD bit 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 USART Clock Phase
The UCPHA bit setting determines if data are sampled on the leading (first) edge or tailing (last) edge of XCKn. Refer to 24.3.3.1.3.2 Clock Generation for details.
