Atmel-8155D-AVR-ATmega32A-Datasheet_02/2014
Flag. SPIF is cleared by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, the
SPIF bit is cleared by first reading the SPI Status Register with SPIF set, then accessing the SPI Data Register
(SPDR).
Bit 6 – WCOL: Write COLlision Flag
The WCOL bit is set if the SPI Data Register (SPDR) is written during a data transfer. The WCOL bit (and the SPIF
bit) are cleared by first reading the SPI Status Register with WCOL set, and then accessing the SPI Data Register.
Bit 5:1 – Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega32A and will always read as zero.
Bit 0 – SPI2X: Double SPI Speed Bit
When this bit is written logic one the SPI speed (SCK Frequency) will be doubled when the SPI is in Master mode
(see Table 18-4). This means that the minimum SCK period will be two CPU clock periods. When the SPI is config-
ured as Slave, the SPI is only guaranteed to work at f
osc
/4 or lower.
The SPI interface on the ATmega32A is also used for program memory and EEPROM downloading or uploading.
See page 279 for SPI Serial Programming and Verification.
19.3.5 SPDR – SPI Data Register
The SPI Data Register is a read/write register used for data transfer between the Register File and the SPI Shift
Register. Writing to the register initiates data transmission. Reading the register causes the Shift Register Receive
buffer to be read.
19.4 Data Modes
There are four combinations of SCK phase and polarity with respect to serial data, which are determined by control
bits CPHA and CPOL. The SPI data transfer formats are shown in Figure 18-3 and Figure 18-4. Data bits are
shifted out and latched in on opposite edges of the SCK signal, ensuring sufficient time for data signals to stabilize.
This is clearly seen by summarizing Table 18-2 and Table 18-3, as done below:
