2549Q–AVR–02/2014
Bits 1, 0 – SPR1, SPR0: SPI Clock Rate Select 1 and 0
These two bits control the SCK rate of the device configured as a Master. SPR1 and SPR0 have no effect on the
Slave. The relationship between SCK and the Oscillator Clock frequency f
osc
is shown in Table 21-5.
21.2.2 SPSR – SPI Status Register
Bit 7 – SPIF: SPI Interrupt Flag
When a serial transfer is complete, the SPIF Flag is set. An interrupt is generated if SPIE in SPCR is set and global
interrupts are enabled. If SS
is an input and is driven low when the SPI is in Master mode, this will also set the SPIF
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 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved bits 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 21-5). 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 ATmega640/1280/1281/2560/2561 is also used for program memory and EEPROM
downloading or uploading. See “Serial Downloading” on page 338 for serial programming and verification.
