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 Master/Slave Select

This bit selects the desired SPI mode.

If SS is configured as input and driven low while this bit is ’1’, this bit is cleared, and the IF flag in SPIn.INTFLAGS is set. The user has to write MASTER=1 again to re-enable SPI Master mode.

This behavior is controlled by the Slave Select Disable bit (SSD) in SPIn.CTRLB.

Value	Description
0	SPI Slave mode selected
1	SPI Master 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 Master mode.

Value	Description
0	SPI speed (SCK frequency) is not doubled
1	SPI speed (SCK frequency) is doubled in Master mode

Bits 2:1 – PRESC[1:0] Prescaler

This bit field controls the SPI clock rate configured in Master mode. These bits have no effect in Slave mode. The relationship between SCK and the peripheral clock frequency (f_{CLK_PER}) is shown below.

The output of the SPI prescaler can be doubled by writing the CLK2X bit to ’1’.
