PIC32MX5XX/6XX/7XX
17.0 SERIAL PERIPHERAL
INTERFACE (SPI)
The SPI module is a synchronous serial interface that
is useful for communicating with external peripherals
and other microcontroller devices. These peripheral
devices may be Serial EEPROMs, Shift registers, dis-
play drivers, Analog-to-Digital Converters, etc. The
PIC32 SPI module is compatible with Motorola
®
SPI
and SIOP interfaces.
Following are some of the key features of this module:
• Master and Slave modes support
• Four different clock formats
• Enhanced Framed SPI protocol support
• User-configurable 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit data
width
• Separate SPI FIFO buffers for receive and
transmit
- FIFO buffers act as 4/8/16-level deep FIFOs
based on 32/16/8-bit data width
• Programmable interrupt event on every 8-bit,
16-bit and 32-bit data transfer
• Operation during CPU Sleep and Idle mode
• Fast bit manipulation using CLR, SET and INV
registers
