11.4.3.2 Slave Select Management
As an alternative to using the SS pin to control the
Slave Select signal, the application can choose to
manage the Slave Select signal by software. This
is configured by the SSM bit in the SPICSR regis-
ter (see
In software management, the external SS pin is
free for other application uses and the internal SS
signal level is driven by writing to the SSI bit in the
SPICSR register.
In Master mode:

In Slave Mode:
There are two cases depending on the data/clock
timing relationship (see
If CPHA = 1 (data latched on second clock edge):
If CPHA = 0 (data latched on first clock edge):

byte to allow the slave to write to the shift reg-
