11.4 SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE (SPI)
11.4.1 Introduction
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) allows full-
duplex, synchronous, serial communication with
external devices. An SPI system may consist of a
master and one or more slaves or a system in
which devices may be either masters or slaves.

Note: In slave mode, continuous transmission is
not possible at maximum frequency due to the
software overhead for clearing status flags and to
initiate the next transmission sequence.

interface (SPI) block diagram. There are three reg-
isters:
The SPI is connected to external devices through
four pins:
– SPI Control Register (SPICR)
– SPI Control/Status Register (SPICSR)
– SPI Data Register (SPIDR)
– MISO: Master In / Slave Out data
– MOSI: Master Out / Slave In data
– SCK: Serial Clock out by SPI masters and in-
– SS: Slave select:
put by SPI slaves
This input signal acts as a ‘chip select’ to let
the SPI master communicate with slaves indi-
vidually and to avoid contention on the data
lines. Slave SS inputs can be driven by stand-
ard I/O ports on the master Device.
