22.2 Overview
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a high-speed synchronous data transfer interface using
three or four pins. It allows fast communication between an Atmel AVR XMEGA device and
peripheral devices or between several microcontrollers. The SPI supports full-duplex
communication.
A device connected to the bus must act as a master or slave. The master initiates and controls
all data transactions.
PORTC and PORTD each has one SPI. Notation of these peripherals are SPIC and SPID,
respectively.
