1 What is the MSSP Peripheral Library?
The Host Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) module is a serial interface useful for communicating with other peripheral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers, display drivers, Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converters, Temperature and Humidity sensors, and so on.
The MSSP module can operate in one of two modes:
- Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
- Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)
The SPI and I2C interface supports the following operating modes:
- Host mode
- Client mode
The driver operation can be configured as:
- Polling
- Interrupt
