19.3.3
To enable the serial port, MSSP Enable bit, SSPEN
(SSPCON1<5>), must be set. To reset or reconfigure
SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, reinitialize the SSPCON
registers and then set the SSPEN bit. This configures
the SDI, SDO, SCK and SS pins as serial port pins. For
the pins to behave as the serial port function, some must
have their data direction bits (in the TRIS register)
appropriately programmed as follows:
• SDI is automatically controlled by the SPI module
• SDO must have TRISC<7> bit cleared
• SCK (Master mode) must have TRISB<1> bit
• SCK (Slave mode) must have TRISB<1> bit set
• SS must have TRISA<5> bit set
Any serial port function that is not desired may be
overridden by programming the corresponding data
direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value.

19.3.4
Figure 19-2 shows a typical connection between two
microcontrollers. The master controller (Processor 1)
initiates the data transfer by sending the SCK signal.
Data is shifted out of both shift registers on their
programmed clock edge and latched on the opposite
edge of the clock. Both processors should be pro-
grammed to the same Clock Polarity (CKP), then both
controllers would send and receive data at the same
time. Whether the data is meaningful (or dummy data)
depends on the application software. This leads to
three scenarios for data transmission:
• Master sends data – Slave sends dummy data
• Master sends data – Slave sends data
• Master sends dummy data – Slave sends data
